St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone. I hope all the little leprechans didn't do to much havoc to your homes!! My 4 little leprechans cause havoc everyday!!

Dallin turns 8 and is baptised

Dallin turned 8 Feb 19th. For his birthday we went to Jack and Jills for some bowling fun. He took five of his friends, and of course Weston and Porter. We had a great time.
Dallin was also baptised a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That was a special day. The feelings of joy are overwhelming when a child makes a decision to be a great example and to follow Christ. What a great feeling to be a parent. I am also very grateful that Tony was able to perform the baptism and then to Confirm him. Thank you to all are family that are such a great example to our kids.

Halloween fun!!

For Halloween this year our family decided to be Hunters, and well since I am not a hunter I was voted by all to be the deer. Tonight we had our ward Halloween party/trunk-or-treat. This is a great picture that we had taken, of course Tony is not in it because like every October he is actually hunting, and yes he did get his deer. Oh and by the way there is a tail that goes with my deer costume but you can't see it.

Birthday

Weston turned 5. Can you believe it, I sure can't. He decided that he wanted to have a dinosaur themed birthday party (since he has really been into dino stuff lately) so that is exactly what we had. I told him he could invite 3 or 4 friends, well that just was not enough so we ended up with 10. A little spoiled if I do say so myself. They made jackets so that they looked like real paleontologists, played pin the horn on the triceratops's, and hit the T-Rex pinata full of candy after which they filled full of dinosaur cake and ice cream. It was a blast especially for Weston.

On Westons real Birthday(party with friends 2 days prior) we decided to go fishing. We drove to Salem to a community pond they have and spent a couple hours their. Dallin was able to use his new fishing pole that he had gotten for Christmas, and Weston and Porter used Tony's poles. They all caught some fish after we figured out what the secret was.(spinners) It was a great day and the sun was out which made it all the better. Oh yea did I mention that Monson is already 6 Months old. Time goes to fast!!

Update

I have decided that I am the worlds worst blogger. If I would just take the time to post a few things every week then I wouldn't have to play catch up all of the time. Anyway, life in the hutcheon house hold is going great, and with a few warm spring days under our belt I am now more than ever for the weather to be like this all of the time. A few things have happened in our family, nothing out of the ordinary, just life in general... Dallin turned 7. I know I look and act way to young to have a 7 year old but I do. He just finished up Basketball amd loved it but now it is time to gear up for spring soccer. Weston also gets to play soccer this spring and will be 5 this sunday and we are planning his Dinosaur birthday party as we speek. Its on Friday and I let him invite way to many liitle friends but oh well what can you do. Porter is reaking havic on everything but I think it is because he has been so bored inside. The last couple of weekson the warm days when he can go outside life has been much better. Monson is also growing like a weed. He will be 6 months on the 22nd and I am sad and happy all at the same time. I just love that little squidget!! I on the other hand am so happy that I can start to run outside again. Even taking Monson and Porter in the runner stroller is becoming possible again due to warmer weather and the fact that Monson can sit up when I strap him in. I also changed my hair. I love it but it does take a little getting used to. Its nothing to crazy just a lot darker. Tony is doing wonderful. He has had a few issues with some hair loss due to an auto-immune problem but we are getting that taken care of with a little help from my old work.

Well thats us in a nut shell lately. Here are a few pictures for everyone to see...ENJOY!

Knowing our blessings

I realized today how hard life can be and how when you think that you just can't go on there is someone else who can put you in your place. Tony and I have some good friends who were blessed to have their third angel only to send it back to heaven one hour later. They have known the outcome for awhile now but to have the day finally come has been hart breaking. As I read their blog I am suddenly taken back at the faith that they have. Just knowing them has made me stronger. They truly deserve only the best in life. Baby Aaron's funeral is this Saturday and I know that I will be able to feel the spirit stronger than ever. The room will be filled with angels. My heart and love goes out to my dear friends. I love you both and your to other boys.

Catch up time!!

Alot has happened in the last two months in our family starting with the birth of our new son Monson. He arived on Sept 22nd. What a joy he is to have in our family even though I thought that he was going to be a girl, he works just perfect. I can't believe that he is already 8 weeks old and he is laughing and smiling. Time really goes by fast and I think that it goes by faster with each child.

Then Halloween came. We had a lot of fun this year trick-or-treating, going to Halloween parties and just having fun. The costumes consisted of super heros again, a pumpkin that didn't think that dressing up was the thing to do and a tiny baby in a halloween shirt that had glow in the dark ghosts. Dallin was bumblebee, Weston spiderman, Porter was the sort of pumpkin and Monson well you can guess. Tony and I did go dressed up in cowboy apparal. Porter also decided to be a cowboy that evening.

We got Halloween over and done with and then blessed Monson. It turned out to be a wonderful day, not to cold and the sun was shinning. Family came and shared in the wonderful

blessing. It really makes you greatful for your blessings.

Life was going good when just last week Porter decided to curb himself and smash his upper front teeth up and back into his mouth. Let me tell you this is not an experience that I would choose, and for those of you who don't know what curbing is well its not pretty. Take your mouth and slam it on a cement curb and well you get the picture. So after I raced him to Creed( the Oral Surgeon) and had his mouth examined and a few x-rays done it was determined that nothing should be done and that more than likely his front teeth will fall back into place on there

own due to the miracle that nothing was broken or cracked.

So there it is in a nutshell, the past 2 months or so. Life has been crazy and somedays a little overwhelming but we are still here and for the most part healthy.
