A week late but worth the wait...

We introduce our newest:

Lyla Belle Mitchell

11 December 2012
12:18 pm
9 lbs 8.5 oz 
22.5 inches

Such a sweetheart.  




Didn't know I was pregnant?  That's because we kept it a secret from Jarron's mom until she came home from her mission a month before Lyla was born.
We are so glad to have pink in our family!
Lyla came a week past her due date but the VBAC was successful and she is beautiful and healthy.

Jarron's brain.

NO MORE STUDENT LOANS!  

It can be done.

A time for romance?

How do we celebrate Valentine's Day?  Check out this youtube video featuring some of my extended family members.  Please note: I am not in this video.  Nor are my children.  But we do love the Valentine Aardvark!

Happy upcoming Valentine's Day!

Hello, world! It's been a while.

I was recently reminded by a friend of mine (thanks, Krista!) that my blog is in great neglect.  And since I don't use Facebook anymore, I figure it's time to update this site.  

Reece is now a little over 6 months old and we simply adore him!  Here's a little video clip I took a few days ago that we laugh at.  Think about how amazing your feet are as you watch.  :)


Mayes is 5 now and says the funniest things.  For instance, he told me that he wants to get two dalmatian dogs when he is older so that they can have puppies (like in the Disney movie).  I asked him if he would keep the puppies and he said, "Yes.  Then I would get rid of the parents so I can raise the puppies myself."  Wow. He also told me that every time his future wife kisses him, he's just going to shower to wash it off.  Often, he pops up in whatever room I'm in telling me that he found me because he "tracked my smell."  Is he part blood hound?  Here's a video of Mayes when Reece was just born:


And now to my Cameron.  How I love my oldest and wisest.  He is 7 now and teaches me something new everyday.  I fear that he is too smart for his own good, though; he told Jarron the other day that "school is just a waste of time."  Hmmmm.  He also recently acquired some rapping abilities.  This video is from September but may make some money someday.  He has improved since then and likes to teach his friends.


Not a video person?  Here are a few good pics of the loves of my life:


On Reece's blessing day in October.


Halloween pumpkins and two scary Jacks.


Thanksgiving morning.


Sweet brothers Cameron and Reece.


Reece on Christmas Eve (he hung out with Santa).


Mayes calls this picture "Big Chunky Head".


Poor baby fell asleep while I worked out!


 Mayes gets his fashion sense from his dad.  

Speaking of dad, I guess I ought to post a pic of him, the ultimate love of my life.  Here's one he'd be proud of since it represents Utah.  (Also note the love of Mayes's life: video games.  He can obviously play with his eyes closed!)


Oh, did you want a picture of me?  Are you sure?  I'll see what I can dig up.  Here's a winner taken in October with Mayes and Reece at the pumpkin patch:


XOXO from my corner of the world!  It's good to see you again.
