Just Because

It is so sad to me how fast the first year goes. Boston was such a tiny little "peanut". Now he is getting so big. I love every stage he is in, I look forward to the stages coming, but I really miss the newborn stages too. Boston is such a good baby. For my fifth I really needed that. We cant even look at him without smiling. When ever anyone in our house is having a bad day I will make them look at Boston and the bad day is gone! He is such a special little boy. We are so blessed to have him in our family. Love you buddy!

Grandma Gin found him this cute shirt when she went to Boston! He is our Boston Boy :)
The cuttest stocking stuffer! Grandma Bearden makes Christmas Stockings for everyone in the family. I thought it would be cute to stick Boston in his. Turns out, I think I was right:)

This was when we were taking pictures of all the Bearden grandkids for Christmas for Grandpa Bearden. I love the look on his face!

Happy Birthday Alex and Brooklyn

Sorry girls you don't get your own posts! At least I am doing one.
Their birthday's are 5 days apart, so they get to share it most of the time.
They don't mind though. They are such fun girls. We are so blessed to have them in our family! Happy 5th birthday Alex! Happy 3rd birthday Brooklyn!

Boston's Blessing Day

Boston was blessed in September 2010. It was such a great day. We had lots of family and friends there to celebrate with us. I have a ton of pictures of that day, but I cant find them... So, I will just put up a few that I can find...

It's Great to be 8! (I know, I'm playing catch up).

In June 2010 Makade turned 8 and got baptized! He was so excited. It was a great day for him and our family. We are so proud of him for making the choice to be baptized. He is such a great kid and adds so much to our family and home. And yes, I'm huge and 8 1/2 months pregnant in these pictures.....

Boston James Bearden

I am finally posting about Boston...
He was born on July 3, 2010. He was 5lbs 7oz and 18in long.
He was 4 weeks early and had a hard time breathing in the beginning. He had to be in the NICU for the first week. He is doing great now. He is such a sweet baby. We are so blessed to have him in our family. It is amazing the spirit that comes with a new baby.
Here are a few pictures of him:)




Jera and Boston. This is just a few days after Boston was born. We are in the NICU..


Boston, the day he was coming home. He had to have an IV in his head for his antibiotics. We got to take it out a couple days after he was home.


Boston, 5 weeks old... My friend Jordan took some really cute pictures of Boston for me.

Field Trips

This last month I went on a Field Trip with each of the kids and their classes. It was a lot of fun to be able to do that... We had a great time at each one.

For Makade's Field Trip we walked to the Butterfield Farms...
Makade got to try roping a cow dummy. He did pretty good.
This is Makade wearing masquito goggles..


Alex's Field Trip was to the Petting Zoo at Thanksgiving Point. The kids had such a good time. Brooklyn got to come along on this one.

Jaxon's Field Trip was to the Zoo. We got to ride the bus, take a lunch and walk around the zoo. Such a great day for a Kindergartner...

Happy Birthday Craig!!!

Happy (really late) Birthday Craig!



Craig turned 32 in April!
The kids and I are so lucky to have Craig in our lives.
He is the best husband I could ever ask for and he is such a good dad. The kids think he is the greatest!:)
Happy Birthday, we love you!
