Video of our Sweet baby girl!

My brother is on his mission in Indianapolis, Indiana and I am so proud of him and the things he is learning, accomplishing, and the time he is spending serving the lord.  I wanted to add a video I took recently of Brenae so he can see her personality and how much she has grown-since he left weeks before she was born. Anyway, to all who see it, enjoy! She certainly is a sweet girl and we have loved having her.  Logan is just stricken with her! She is pretty good, but when she wants attention or to be held she will cry until she gets what she wants.  She also, when she is throwing fits, will stiffen her body almost like she is planking.  It is kind of funny and I'm sure is something she will continue to do as she gets older. She is full of smiles in the morning and can put any sleep deprived mom in a good mood.  She also will giggle when people around her are laughing and really enjoys when people talk directly to her.  What a fun girl she is and we can't wait to see how she grows and develops but at the same time we want her to stay little cause she is soooo adorable.

WOW! Time Flies!

I realized that it has been quite a while since I have updated the blog and decided that it was time! It seems time has flown by with how busy our life has been. So I will do a short update on us all and post some recent pictures.

Logan- Still in school, has started his Mechanical Engineering program! He is so excited to be making progress on his chosen career and makes the classes a little more bearable! :) We are so proud of him and his hard work, working 30 hours a week and going to school full time!  Logan just started a local biggest loser contest and has high expectations of making all his personal goals and winning the competition, so far he is doing really well and is very motivated!

Tracie- Is staying at home with Jake which I love and is currently pregnant.  This pregnancy has been very different than the last one.  For starters, I have had pretty bad morning sickness from about 6 weeks until about 14 weeks. That has been a challenge, but I like to look at it as a blessing in disguise; my goal this pregnancy was to not gain so much extra or unneeded weight, because I have been so sick, I have lost my appetite for a lot of foods I used to enjoy and don't feel the need to eat junk food a lot.  So far I have only gained 5 pounds and am so happy and hope that I can keep it up!  Besides keeping up with Jake and helping Logan where I can, I am in the Young Women's in my ward and am loving it! They sure keep me busy between mutual and teaching on Sundays.

 Jake- Is growing up too fast! He is a speed runner, a ball of joy, and very loveable!  He is recently working on saying words, we have been kinda concerned about it cause he should know how to say more words than he does, but I have come to realize that Jake is very stubborn and will say words when he wants to.  So far, he can say pretty clearly: Stop, no, don't, please, baby, mom, and dad.  He know a few sign language signs that help out a lot such as: more and all done.  He seems to be understanding and learning more and more every day and is sure fun!  He is very busy and keeps me on my toes every day, but tries to be a good boy.

Anyway, that's just a short update on what we have been up to and hope you are all healthy and doing well!
