We're Still Alive!

Well I am still alive, the blog was the last thing on my worry list. And then after a while I didn't want to go back and catch up, so you get the short version. A lot has happened since Kael was born.
- I got 2 new great-nieces.
- We moved from Brigham in with Braden's parents for a few months, then in with Ricky for a few months, then we stole Ricky's house, and he moved down the road.
-Braden got a new job (yay!!!) Great pay, and benefits!
- We had a great Easter.
- Joye turned 3.
-We had a crazy summer full of moving, dancing, and fun.
-We got church callings. Me a primary teacher, and Braden in the Young Mens.
-Back to school, in a new school.
*Jaxon was sad and nervous, he didn't want to leave his friends, or Grandma. He has done great, and made lots of new friends, and girl friends. He brings home love notes all the time.
*Alek started Kindergarten, and loves it. His teacher is so fun. We all love her.
*Joye was jealous that she didn't get to go to school this year, so we got her a workbook and I'm her teacher. She separates, mom and teacher it's so funny. When we went to SEP Conferences, we had to come home and sit down and have Daddy talk to her teacher and tell him how Joye was doing.
-The boys played soccer this fall. They loved it! Braden was the coach. He didn't love it.
-Braden and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary.
-Jairon got home safely from his mission! We missed him so much. Joye was scared for the first hour or so then couldn't get enough of Jair. We also painted the wall in Brigham, and got caught by the cops.
-We have been so "lucky" and our cat has given us 2 batches of kittens. The second batch is ready to go if anybody wants a kitten!! PLEASE!!
-We had a fun Halloween. Jaxon was a cowboy, but he didn't want the moustache like last year. Alek was a Zombie with a heart that blinked, and Joye wanted to be a kitty, until Alek got his make up on, then she wanted to be a zombie kitty. So Joye was a zombie kitty, she was Alek's pet and Jaxon was the good guy trying to kill them.
-Alek turned 6.
-We had a great Thanksgiving.
- And the biggest most exciting news of the year...
A new Fessler!!! I'm due July 2nd. We are all so excited. We all want a girl, so that means it will probably be a boy :) And I'm hoping in a few weeks I will be done with all the morning sickness, and be able to live again.
