Update...

Halloween at the Reynolds' is NEVER boring! (above)


Levi, Travis, and I went to St. Johns and build this shed for our awesome sister, Deanne (below).

Jake LOVES helping with the dishes

This is the result of no back yard!

So proud of Kami. She made these cool snowmen!

This picture seems odd, but Emily hardly ever falls asleep cuddling! She is not a cuddler at all!

Jake is laughing ALL THE TIME now and is keeping us laughing too!

Picking pumpkins in Willcox with our good friends, the Collards.

Quading on Mt. Graham... a blast!

5 YEARS!!

Happy anniversary Steven!

Thank you for making the last 5 years so great! I love you!

Emily

We just love this sweet little girl! She has been a great baby and we are so grateful we get to have her!
Jake has been a great big brother. He loves to give her kisses that are especially hard. :) He has only tried to pull her out of her swing once, and almost stepped on her so we think we are doing good so far! I thought this was pretty cute when I saw him holding Emily's hand. We also caught him the other day giving her "knuckles", it was so cute, I wish I would have caught it with my camera.
It's summer time so that means it's time for a buzz! This is Raylee (left), Emily's cousin. They are 6 weeks apart.
Steven is such a great dad! He is so helpful and willing. He loves each of his kids so much and does everything he can for them! I love that man!

I know... I know... we are slackers!

So we haven't posted in a while. Sorry about that. Just as a little update... Steven (me) is trying to get hired into seminary full-time. Actually, we will find out one week from today whether I am going to get hired or not. We are nervous but excited for the possibilities. Kami is 8.5 months pregnant and cute as ever! Any weight that she has put on is all in the stomach. Jake is cute and fun and smart as ever. He is trying so hard to talk and is doing really well at it. For example, he tries to say, "trash" but says, "Bul ssh". We're working on that one before he starts saying it in nursery! Here are a few updated pictures from our life right now.

The other day we went to the airport and ate dinner in the truck and watched the planes land & take off... it was a blast!

Tucson Zoo

Kami opened the fridge to get something and when she turned back around, this is what she saw!

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron... Nuf said.

We went to Pima and re-did our roof. Jake loved having a yard!

He wanted to sit in this seat (which he doesn't fit in anymore) AND shoot the ball. Jake will shoot on this hoop for about 2 hours a day! (I love it!)

He wanted to use his fork while eating his Burger... this is the result.

We have the cutest kid, hands down!!

Jake Broke his leg a couple weeks ago. (we are really behind) He was a trooper though. He wore the boot for 3 weeks and then it was healed! Kids are amazing. It didn't stop him at all! We love this little Man!

Steven and I have made a goal to once a week do something fun as a family! We sometimes find ourselves getting caught up in the rush of school, work, callings and many other responsibilities that seem to take over. Our first fun outing was to hike "A" mountain. We had a blast! We rode the tram to the mountain and then enjoyed the journey up to the top! We were so glad we had our baby carrier so that Jake could come with us. We really did enjoy it and it wasn't too hot!
Jake now sleeps like this always! We will try and put him down on his side or back but he immediately gets in this position! We even try and just pull his legs down so he is completely on his tummy, but he doesn't like that either. He pulls his legs back up right away! We love this guy!
We went to the Suns game and had so much fun. Steven is a Suns fan all the way and I am trying to be more of one! :) Actually I have really enjoyed the playoffs this year! We are so excited for the Suns vs. Lakers! GO SUNS!!!!!!
Steven got Jake ready for church last week and this is what he looked like! What a handsome dude!
We also bought a bike seat for Jake so that we could all go bike riding together! He loved it so much and it was nice to hit some yard sales on the ride. It was a little difficult at the end of the ride to keep his head from falling because he had fallen asleep.

We went to Thatcher on our way home from Carlsbad and we had to stop by and see Uncle Levi's horses!
This isn't the best picture of us but we sure had fun on our first family trip together. This picture is of us in white sands New Mexico. It is really very pretty. Jake wasn't to happy with us because you will notice in the next picture he ate it in the sand. We ended up not staying as long as we would have liked but he really wasn't to fond of the sand after that! : ) I of course had to get a picture before we could wipe it off!


I sure love my little FAMILY!! Life is hard but it's worth plugging through when you are surrounded by the people you love and who love you!!!!
