Update

I don't know what my problem has been lately.  I am finding myself at the end of the day wishing there were about 4 more hours in the day.  Unfortunately, my blog seems to be what keeps getting put on the back-burner during the shortage of time ;0) 
So by way of a quick update to get back on track of blogging our lives:
Erick is spending ALL of his time at the school.  He has his mini 2 Exam coming up a week from Monday.  When he is not at the school, he is playing b-ball with the guys from school.  
Bryn is at such a fun age right now.  She just lost
 her second tooth and is getting one in place of the first one she lost.  She is in the "What if" stage.  Everything she sees or hears she will say, "What if that tree fell on the car?"  or "What if I ate all my food and then went to bed."  About 90% of her sentences start this way.  It is so fun to see her mind working and thinking about so many things around her.  She is such a great helper around the house and is always helping me with Kyler.  She is mostly happy, but has her moments when a slight attitude creeps out.  Erick and I are still debating on where she gets it from!
Kyler is also at a fun stage, he is in the "pretend" stage.  I can't even count the times in a day that I hear him say, "Pretend that I was spiderman and you said; look, it's spiderman"  or something that includes pretend.  He is really into dressing up.  Between Batman and Spiderman we always have a superhero at our house.  He loves to play any sport and is really good at all of them.  We love Kyler and his energy and personality.  He keeps us on our toes.
I just got home from a surprise visit to Utah.  I went for Trent and McKenzie's wedding.  It was so fun to show up and surprise everyone.  The weekend went way to fast, we were so busy the whole time with everything going on, but I was ready to get home and see the kids!  The wedding was beautiful.  They make a perfect couple and compliment each other very well.  We are very excited to add McKenzie to our family.  The kids keep calling her their "NEW" aunt.  The other day Kyler asked if Trent was his new aunt as well.  After I quit laughing, I explained that Trent was his uncle, and has been since he was born.  I think it is still sinking in!  
The kids and I are staying very busy and having a lot of fun.  We don't have much time left on the island and we are all really going to miss it.  We have made some great friends and wonderful memories.  However, we are also excited to be back stateside and moving forward on this adventure.  
I have a friend who is teaching me everything she knows about photography.  She is an amazing wedding photographer.  We have taken pictures of my own personal, PERFECT model, Bryn.  We also have plans to take a bunch more, so I will be posting those here as I take them.  I am very excited about it and have had so much fun doing it.  Preview below.....
So, I am now officially back to regularly blogging and keeping everyone up to date on our life!

I love this one! I wish I had someone to teach me how to use my camera! You are lucky! I get so frustrated with my camera because I don't know how to use it. I am thinking about taking some on-line classes to learn it. What kind of camera do you have??
