Highlighting 2011, 2012, and 2013

Two years? Wow! I know in the last post I said that I was going to get all caught up. haha Looks like that went pretty well...
I have been missing blogging so I decided to try again. I have resigned myself to the fact that getting caught up on the last three years probably won't happen. However, I can give you the highlights. So, here we go.
In either late May or early June of 2011 Wyatt broke his arm.
June 15, 2011 Rockwell Clinton was born. 9 pounds 12 ounces. Clint and I could not agree on a name so he went without a name for two months. We still hear about it! We decided to have a home birth. Crazy but such a great experience!!  
April 2012 Kale got baptized! I didn't feel old when he turned eight, I felt old the day he got baptized. Don't you love the boots?
August 2012 We sold our house. It has been a bitter sweet thing. I loved that house. It was the first house Clint and I built and lived in together. Rockwell was born there. And many other things. But we have been so blessed since we sold it. We moved into a camp trailer which was quite the adventure! We also started building a house next door to the old one.(We are still in the process of building. We might finish this house someday....)
February 12, 2013 We finished off our family with Josie May. 9 pounds 14 ounces. (It was a good thing she was a girl because we couldn't agree on another boy name.) We had a home birth again. Darcy was so excited to finally have a sister. She said through the whole pregnancy that she wanted it to be a boy so she could be the only girl. We think that she just said that because she didn't want to be disappointed again. I was sure that Rockwell was a girl and had Darcy convinced too. When she found out he was a boy she almost cried. When she found out Josie was a girl, you could just see the excitement on her face.
June 2013 Rockwell broke his arm.

August 22, 2013 Clint and I celebrated TEN years of marriage. Clint bought me a motorcycle and we took off on it for a week. We had so much fun! We went up into Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. We pretty much did a big circle around the Tetons. Clint has those pictures on his camera. Most of them are of me and not very good ones at that. 
We have also spent time camping, fishing, going to Lake Powell, riding horses, and hunting, watching dance, soccer and wrestling, and just being together! We are having so much fun raising our little family. Clint is especially excited for the kids getting big enough to go with him. He has taken Kale on a couple trips to the High Uintahs and both Kale and Wyatt got to go deer hunting with him this year.
To finish things off here are the latest family pictures we had taken. 






 A shout out to our photographer Mindy Smith. melindasmithphotography.com If you are in our area, you should check her out. Seriously. She is so good to work with. Our kids love her. They actually like taking family pictures with her. And she can get a real smile out of Kale. Not only that, Rockwell broke his arm like a week or two before we were supposed to have our pictures taken, and I did not want his arm in the cast for the pictures. She was so awesome about rescheduling. I know it was during her busy time of year and she probably ended up over booking herself. I recommend her to everyone!
