I am the worst blogger on the face of the planet! I'm admitting this to myself as I KNOW that every living soul has given up hope of ever seeing a new post from us again!
David's practice is doing well and getting better and better each week. I am so proud of him and all of his hard work! It's a little crazy to me that we have our own chiropractic practice and are one of the few healthcare providers in this community! I can tell already that we are making a big impact here and I'm excited for the many years to come and see what we'll do with them!
We just celebrated our 6th anniversary last week (Love you, babe!). And what better way to celebrate than having our one and only car catch fire on the freeway! Awesome! This actually happened the day before our anniversary as David was on his way down to look at some new cars! Heavenly Father was definitely guiding us! So we unexpectedly had to purchase a vehicle, and FAST! We were led to find the perfect car for us: a white 2006 Honda Odessy. Sa-weet! My entire life I swore I would never drive a minivan, and I test-drove every SUV out there and none were what I expected or wanted (to my utter shock!) Finally David convinced me to just SIT in the Odessy, and I immediately felt at ease! I am stubborn as all get-out, but I will also quickly admit when I am wrong, and boy was I wrong to rule this bad-boy out! It's totally awesome! It's so comfy and cozy, like I'm driving around in my living room! And it makes me want to take a roadtrip ASAP and that's saying something! :)
Tyson turned 4 in January and is rocking his first year of preschool! He is frequently the Super Star Listener (for not talking out of turn, being respectful and raising his hand) and has checked off everything for the year already! He is also starting to read, which is seriously the coolest thing for a parent to see! He loves to learn and only has to hear something once for him to remember it. We are very proud of him!
Zachary turned 2 in November and is trying his best to be a big boy like his brother. He will do and say everything like Tyson. If Tyson can do it, by golly, so can he! He has been potty-trained since before turning two, and that includes not wetting his diaper at night! He's a champ! He loves his sister and is so excited when she wakes up! It's his job to run in her room and talk to her before I get there. He runs in saying, "Hi, Julianne Alyse! Hi pretty princess!" He often climbs in her crib and snuggles her and hugs and kisses her and brings her toys. He is also our early riser, and wakes up atleast an hour before Tyson. He climbs out of bed, shuts his bedroom door (He shares with Tyson) grabs his scooter and scoots down the hallway to our room and yells "Good morning mom! I'm hungry!" I wish I had that much energy each morning! What a way to wake up! I think I need my very own scooter to ride all over the house! :)
Julianne is 11 months old today! Oh my goodness! I'm starting to plan her 1st birthday party and it's freaking me out! She's my little baby! :( She started crawling at 9 months and is so dang adorable! I cannot get enough of that little girl! She has every one of us wrapped around her little finger.
It is impossible for me to get a good picture of all the kids at the same dang time! Here are a couple of recent shots, though!

This is good to hear! I thought maybe three kids had done you in since you guys have been so MIA the past year :) It's nice to hear things are going better and everyone sounds healthy and happy and thriving :)
How does she have such bright blue eyes?! Your family is just the cutest and I'm so glad to hear you're doing well.
I love the update! Your family is beautiful! :)
YAY, YOU DID IT! Somehow you found the time and energy to write that post. I'm so happy for you. And I'm so glad to hear the latest and I hope you can start posting occasionally again. It cracks me up to hear that you didn't want the minivan just because you didn't want one. That's how I was. And then I became a mini-van mom and got over myself, and I'm so glad I did!
Those photos are pretty good considering you had three squirrelly little kids to pose! I'm so glad that life is getting under control for you guys. Hope things continue to go well. I love your guts!
WOW! So much change, how wonderful! Glad life is so amazing for you and you're all safe after that fire. You're kids are gorgeous and so are you!
Yeah! I am so glad to read about your family!! All your children are so adorable!!!!! We miss you so much!
I love my sister and her beautiful family. You make me laugh with your writing..I can totally hear your voice and the sarcasm. Yay for the minivan...best way to travel baby!! I miss and love you SO much! Kisses to your kiddos
Hello beautiful lady!! What an incredibly gorgeous family you have! I can't believe your baby girl is almost one. What a beauty she is! And aren't minivans awesome?! Don't worry, we all swore we'd never get them, and then we realize how practical they are and how awesome they are and how it doesn't matter because we're moms and that's what we do. :) Glad you are enjoying yours! Hope to see you on the blogosphere again soon!
What a good looking family!
Wonderful family pics! Amazing how quickly life changes....
I thought I had posted a couple days ago, but I don't see my post...oh well. Can't believe how much those kids are growing up, love Zachary's curly locks. And you look great too, but then again when didn't you?
Love the update and the pictures. And so glad to hear how well you guys are doing! I bet you all make that van look pretty darn good. :)
Finally Kelli, we love seeing your beautiful family!! I love your family pictures and Julianne is getting so big already. I feel like we just saw her, crazy. We will be back in July..Yeah!! Love you.
I loved the catch up. I heard about the new van, but not the catching on fire of your old one. Fun fun! Can't wait to skype and catch up. Love ya
Jen
