Why we haven't been blogging...

Kayli is almost 3 years old and tells us every day that her birthday is today or tomorrow. It isn't. The poor girl has to wait until all the way after Christmas. Not that she really understands when that is, she just wants it to be her birthday! We are doing a little co-op preschool with 4 other little girls this year and Kayli loves it. She feels like a big girl when she gets to go to school like Andrew and Kelsi. She also just started a dance class that a young woman from our ward is teaching. It's so cute to watch her, she was so serious during class last week. Kayli is hilarious and keeps us on our toes. She loves her baby brother and has to be told to stop kissing on him. We will have to see how long that lasts. Once he can crawl around and get into her things it may be a different story. We love our Kayli bugaroos!!

Andrew started first grade and loves school. When the first weekend came around he was mad that he couldn't go to school on Saturday. He is learning to read and losing more teeth than we can keep up with. He loves taking piano lessons from his Grandma Button and is doing awesome. He is a sweet boy and we love having him around our house.

Kelsi started Middle School this year. The transition hasn't been too difficult. Kelsi is still taking piano lessons and it's really fun to listen to her play. She is better than me now! She enjoys going to Activity Days at church, but can't wait to be 12 so she can go to Young Women's. Every week she tries to come along with me to mutual. She has been an amazing helper lately, my friends all joke that they need a Kelsi at their house.

This was taken recently...love it.

How sweet is this? This is the real reason that our life has turned upside down the last year, but we wouldn't change it for anything. We love our new little man!!

People have asked us about the transition from three kids to four. It's been a little crazy, but good crazy. Having a newborn just throws you for a loop and anyone who says otherwise is either taking some great medication or hasn't ever actually had a newborn! I am looking forward to someday getting on a more predictable schedule, but for now we are just loving our sweet new baby.

Our Sweet Baby Boys

Adam is losing that newborn baby look and turning into his own little person. A seriously cute one if you ask me. I can't but see the resemblance of our two boys. Here they are on the days they were blessed. Different cameras, different lighting. But brothers for sure!


Here is Adam...


Here is Andrew...


Here is a picture with the family who came for Adam's special day...it was a crazy, fun-filled weekend with lots of cousins!

The busy, busy Buttons!

I used to be a great scrapbooker. Kelsi has 2 books full, all from under the age of 8. Andrew has about half a book full, Kayli has six weeks of her life documented. Are you seeing the pattern? At this rate, Adam should be happy we have pictures of him...somewhere. With each child life gets a little more crazy and some things just don't get done. Don't judge me. I know I don't have hours to scrapbook fancy pages anymore, but I hope this blog can still be a little bit of a family history. I used to be better at blogging too, but that was two children ago. I am going to try and be better. I think I said that in my last post, which was 13 months ago!! Here's to better blogging....Stay tuned.
