Our Family

Our Family

Our life together

We were married on March 17, 2001. We have one daughter, Alexis who is 8 1/2 years old, one son, Levi who is 2 1/2, and another baby girl who will join our family in February 2012. We moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming 5 years ago and it has been the best decision we have made for our life. We have become closer as a family since we have moved here.

So it's been awhile...

So I'm obviously not that good about keeping up with my blog. I forgot how busy you are as a new mom. And I've never realized how busy you can be as a stay at home mom. I feel busier and more tired than when I was working full time, and yet I still had time to take care of the kids, the house, the shopping, and work full time. It's amazing how fast the hours go by every day.
It's been an amazing 3 months since Levi was born, and I can't believe it has been 3 months already! He has grown so fast! He is such a good baby. He is so loving and he loves to smile. And when he smiles, he smiles with his whole face. It is the cutest thing.
Alexis is still a wonderful big sister. She is such a great helper. She always wants to play with him and talk to him, and even try to carry him in his carrier, although he has gotten too heavy. She isn't as excited to be involved with the diapers anymore as they are getting messier, but I don't blame her.
We are all enjoying our summer time and just trying to do lots of fun things and stay busy. Alexis will be doing swimming lessons and gymnastics this summer. We have also signed her up for the reading program at the library, which she loves. She has been checking out the first grade books and can read them all by herself. I have to convince her to save some books for other days since we can't go to the library every day.
Isaac is super busy at work. He recently got promoted and that has left him short handed and busier than ever. We are so proud of him and all of his hard work. He is working so hard to take care of us and we appreciate all he does. He is a wonderful husband and father, and we are so grateful to have him in our lives.

Snow play

Since moving to Wyoming, there are some adjustments we've had to make. Since half of the year is winter time here, and very cold, we have to find other ways to occupy our time. Here is Alexis and her cousins getting pulled on their sleds by the riding lawnmower. I know it seems a little hillbilly, but it fits in here in Wyoming. And boy did they have a blast!
It's great to have such wonderful family here. It has truly been a blessing to have the opportunity to live close to Isaac's family. They are all such wonderful and loving people. I appreciate all the times we have spent together.
I do still miss my family back in Phoenix. They are all such important people in my life. The Benzel women are such strong women and are each an inspiration to me. I love you all.
