We have made this little town are home. The people are so nice here.. we love the view that we have all around us. The kids play outside all day! Shaylee loves to find the hoppers.... I love that they play with bugs:)

Happy 5Th. Birthday Bowen!!!

What a fun Birthday! We went to Pierrot Pizza and had a blast!!
We had almost all the Pead family there and Bowen had so much fun being with all of them. The best part is that Darren was at P.O.S.T. and we thought he was going to get home much later but he showed up at the just in time to hang out with the family for at least a little bit.
If you want to see more photos look on Allisons blog.
Bowen loves his Lily!!!
I love how much Bowen loves everyone he is around. He always tries to make everyone happy.. He is the best little helper and his mommy and daddy love him so much... Bow your tons of fun;)

So in a short time we had to get Darren ready for POST. that's cop school! I had a new baby and lots to do... We made a couple trips to salt Lake and Manti.. and after getting everything together we got Darren off to school.. He left on my bday: my 29th, I'm old!! That was life for a while he would go on a Sunday night and would come home on Thursday night.. this lasted 16 weeks..

Our little Ashley!

what a cute baby! KIDS LOVE HER!

Mom is a little scary:

I know i have needed to keep up with this better but my life has gone through some big changes.. Good ones!!

Darren was a brick mason and had wanted to get into law enforcement for a long time.. When construction stop all together we were trying very hard to get a job in Manti as a Deputy(this was October through December). We thought we had it and then last minute he didn't get it. We were sad, but just before the baby was born they called and said we had the job!! This was around the end of February. Happy day!! Darren was to start school at the end of march! and that when things started to changing fast!

Ashley came along on Feb 26Th. She came 10 days early and that was nice because she was 8 pounds 6 oz.

Shaylee thought Ashley was so cute!!

Bowen thought he would always protect his baby sister.

I thought she was an Angel and I loved her so much!

whats better then a new baby?

Who wouldnt want to pick her up and kiss her??

My sweet baby girl...

Our little Ashley is almost here!!

So I wanted to put a photo of how big I am before I have this baby! And as you can see I'm big! I can't Wait until I get to hold her, that's the best part is going through all the not so fun stuff to get a baby at the end. My kids are so excited and Bowen can't wait to be a big brother to 2 sisters.

Random Family Fun!!!

I decided it was time to take Shaylee off the bottle when 2 wasn't enough!!


What a cute little girl! it's way more fun when they have enough hair to do things with...

Road trips are fun! We did this one in November.
We were on are way to Manti, because Darren was applying for a Deputy position. So we made it lots of fun!! and How do you like my hair? It was way too dark for me!!

Not Sure what was wrong with Bowen but I think He is a cute little pouter:)

Trying to get that girl to do what I want is hard work!!
