Sending Christmas Wishes

I know this is long over due. So much has been going on that I just haven't found a second to update, then there was so much to catch up on so I have to say I got a little overwhelmed. I am happy to report that we all are doing well. Happy, healthy, warm, and blessed in sooooo many ways. We've sure enjoyed the Christmas cards that we've recieved from many of you. Thank you for the Christmas wishes. We hope the true meaning of Christmas is in all of your homes this year. One of our Christmas cards says, "Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus" Neal A.Maxwell. I hope we all make room for Him this Christmas season, and have a very memorable Christmas filled with things that matter most. Merry Christmas!!! Love Brady, Amy, Alyvia,& Camdyn.
Here's a quick update on what we've been up to.



Our happy little Camdyn is now 6 months old and just about sitting on his own!! Where did the time go?!!!



My brother Landon married Emily Zilles in the Logan Temple on November 26th. Alyvia sure loves her new Aunt


Alyvia was a fairy and Camdyn was a little baseball player for Halloween. This is Alyvia with some of her cousins.


My brother Brian left on his mission to Houston Texas on September 26th. Check out his blog that my mom is doing on the left. (Brian's Mission) We miss him, but he's doing great!!


Brady and I celebrated our 7th anniversary in September! We had a great time at the Mona Lisa in Boise.




We got new Schofield family pictures in August. We love how they turned out.


In July we got to visit Great Grandma and Grandpa Schofield. Love this picture!


We went on Camdyn's first trip to Yellowstone in July with Brady's mom and dad.

Blessed on the 4th of July

We had such a nice 4th of July weekend. We blessed Camdyn that Sunday,and we were so grateful for everyone that could make it. Camdyn was given a beautiful blessing from his dad. He is so lucky to have such good examples who hold the priesthood in his life. This is a picture of everyone who stood in the circle: My Dad Lani, brother Landon,Brady's Grandpa Harding, Brady, Brady's dad Bill, my brother Brian, and brother-in-law Curt. We missed Brady's brother Chad, and brother-in-law Merrick. Thank you so much family! We had such a great day with you all.

We are all so glad he's here!

Nesting, is that what they call it?

Ok, so I am officially to the nesting stage. Every morning I wake up, and the first thing on my mind is; what should I organize, rearrange, set up, take down, move to the garage, bring in from the garage, paint, wash, or add to Brady's list. Brady has been just awesome helping me with funny things that I've been wanting done before this baby comes.


We painted our office wall. I know it's a little bit different, but I love it. I leave the door open just so every time I walk by the room I can see it. Brady found the idea on-line so we thought we'd try it out. I feel like it makes the room bigger.


Put up shelves in the garage. We made a trip to the Home Depot the other day with the intentions of purchasing some shelving for the garage. We get there and my brilliant husband starts doing the math and I see the little wheels in his head start turning and this my friends is what he built by the end of the day!!! They are fabulouse, less than half the price and way better than I had pictured. Once again Brady, you've amazed me.



We bought a vehicle, sold it, and bought another one. (We're crazy we know that) I really missed our Explorer when we sold it and got the hummer. And in my state getting in the thing was pretty entertaining along with the fact that it didn't have children locks on the doors. We kinda missed that minor (important) detail. So now we have a Jeep Commander and have absolutely loved it so far. I love driving it, it feels good!! Unlike the Hummer, a little too beefy.


Set up the baby's corner in Alyvia's room. After much deliberation we decided to set the crib up in Alyvia's room, and turn the other room into a play room. So far Alyvia's almost too excited to have the baby in her room. He'll be in our room for the first little while in a bassinet, but then he's all Alyvia's. Hope she's ready to change and feed him in the middle of the night. I'm grateful we picked prett versital colors for Alyvia's room that can be for either gender. That always helps. I officially feel like if we have this baby tommorrow we'll be set.

Oh, another bit of fun news. Our little boy will have three boy cousins born all this year. We think that's pretty exciting and can't wait to see what kind of mischief they'll find themselves in over the years. It's defenitely a year for boys in our family!!

I love Spring!!!!!...............

If only it would stay.

Wow I'm a slacker!! It's been how long?!!

Alyvia and Uncle Brian at the Prom. She was so cute in one of my moms dress up dresses that she insisted on wearing. Start 'em young right?




Easter



Our friends Jake and Cassie came over to color eggs. Alyvia just loves them and had a great time.


Easter egg hunt at Grandma's. The kids had a fun time finding the few eggs we hid. I'm amazed at how fast they are. It didn't last more than a few minutes. I asked Alyvia if she know why we celebrate Easter. She told me it's to get lots of candy eggs, and Jesus comed out of the rock. Funny how kids interpret things. I'm glad she gathered that much.

Our post tax season get-away!!

Alyvia's new cousin Austin!!

Austin Glen Egbert was born on February 18th, and what a super cute little dude he is. He looks just like his older brother and has a great head of hair. Go figure!! We're so excited he's part of our family. Good job Curt and Anna!!

Oh Boy!! Birthday Surprises!!

Alyvia had a fun little birthday this year. We had a little family party the Sunday before, and spent Tuesday evening at the Kimberly Arctic Circle with some cousins that weren't able to come Sunday! She really got spoiled with some cute suprises!! I was given a few cake decorating tools for Christmas so I was excited to get to practice a little. Her cake was very simple, and fun to put together! The day after her birthday Alyvia was suprised to find out she's getting a baby brother!! She immediatly told me, "Mom I told you we're getting a girl baby!" I wasn't sure what to think. Thankfully my sister is having a little boy in just a few weeks so she's excited now that she's getting a boy baby just like Kenadee, Halle, and Carson are getting a boy baby. We're very excited and hope everything goes smoothly. Happy Birthday to my sweetest 3 year old.

Almost 3!!!

Miss Alyvia is having a birthday in a few days so we went in for a few pictures. It's crazy how fast our kids grow and change and learn new things. She's just so grown up. These are a few things Alyvia wants to do when she gets big:chews gum, be a mommy too, sing wiff pimary kids in church, go to peschool, and make a birfday cake. What a great big sister she is going to make, and I know it won't be long before these things really happen. Oh, can't they just stay little?
