SURPRISE!

We found out just before Christmas that we are going to be having a little girl!!

This little baby has been such a HUGE surprise for Matt and I!!
A MIRACLE BABY in fact!! We thought and planned to be 100% done but we have realised that Heavenly Father is in control and had other plans for us!!We are thrilled to know( had to find out this time as everything has been such a surprise already)that we are going to welcome a little girl into our home in May. We know that she must have a special purpose and know that she is going to be such a great blessing to our family!!

Berlynn Turns 14

I can hardly believe it but its true Berlynn is 14!! She opted for a quiet family party and dinner at Unos with her friend Jess!! Berlynn is the most beautiful young woman on the outside as well as inside..she is a blessing to Matt and I and our whole entire family!

Anthoneys Eagle Scout Project

We are really so proud of Anthoney! He planned and organised the most incredible Eagle Scout Project.
Baba came and did a golf day for him last June and with the money he raised, he payed for the scouts to go on a Scuba trip and bought under-privileged families in Philadelphia beds and wardrobes.
Not only has he completed his project but he changed lives in the process.

Thanksgiving Getaway

Matt, Alexander and I found ourselves all alone for Thanksgiving and so we decided to take a trip to Florida! We had the most wonderful few days visiting dear friends and playing in the sun and sand! Alex had his first major spill on the coral and really hurt his little face..almost broke my heart to see him wounded but he took it all in his stride!!It was wonderful to relax and spend some really quality time with my husband!!

Tennis

In the middle of November I was able to go to Orlando to play in a USTA National tournament for two teams!! Unfortunately my 9.0 partner could not go but I was able to play 2 matches with my 8.0 partner Chan Ho before he got injured !! We never won but it was a really fun weekend and just a great opportunity to go to nationals with great people and watch and play great tennis!! Luke went with me and was the best friend and traveling buddy!! I must be the most blessed woman in the world!!

Happy Halloween

The kids looked fantastic!! Berlynn was a brown milk cow, Luke was a old woman!!( we took a lady in our ward dessert one eve and her friend opened door in curlers.. Luke was so impressed that he wanted to "be" her for Halloween..so we exchanged his Luke Sky walker costume and put some curlers in his hair!!)Dallen was a Jedi Knight, Savannah was Scarlet o Hara and Alex was a Pumpkin!!We had the best time watching Alexander trick or treat for the first time and seeing how amazed he was when we rang a bell and someone would open a door and hand him sweeties!! Fun evening and priceless memories!

Pumpkins

Spent the evening carving pumpkins and getting ready for trick or treating!!The kids had fun and their creations are wonderful!! I consider the evening a success as everyone has all their fingers in tact!
