Ok so as I sit here and type this late at night I realize I haven't made a real post in well over a year. Well, this won't really be a real post either. No updates or pics or anything exciting like that. I do feel I should write something though. Travis has been gone the last three days with the 15 and 16 year old scouts at Bear Lake. I really don't like going to bed by myself so I have had plenty of quiet time to think. The last several months have definitely been a trial for our family as well as a growing experience. As of today, Travis still does not have a job and we have no idea what the future holds for our family. But I don't write this to complain or to gain sympathy. What I feel tonight is a deep sense of gratitude. I am so thankful for the the many friends and family in our lives. For all your thoughts and prayers on our behalf. We have felt of your spirits and know of your love and concern for our family. For that we are truly blessed. I personally have been blessed to have a reaffirmation that our Heavenly Father is mindful of me. I am so grateful for the Lord's tender mercies, for a sweet friend who listened to the whisperings of the spirit and touched my heart forever. We truly have the most important things in life that money could never buy. We love you all so much.

Sweet giveaway(s)!!!

Yes I am posting again, but it is for another giveaway. The ladies at infarrantly creative and The Idea Room are BOTH giving away a Silhouette Craft Cutter to one of their readers. (Please let it be me!!!) This is one thing I didn't want to pass up the chance for. (even if it is a slim chance) So, If you have never been to either of these blogs you should go take look around. These ladies are SUPER talented.

My baby girl graduated from Kindergarten on Friday. She is growing up so fast. Before I know it she will be graduating from High School. YIKES!!!!!

Kaylee and Conner, a friend from the ward.

Kaylee was too fast grabbing her diploma. All I got was the back of her head.

Can you guess who this is?? And no, I did not turn the pic upside down.

2009-04-30T13:58:00.000-06:00

I just found this picture from our trip to Disneyland. This is Tyler on California Screamin'. He says he isn't sure if he really liked it or not. What do you think??

2009-04-26T22:17:00.000-06:00

Yes, I know, it's about time I updated this thing. I can't believe how fast time goes by these days!! It seems like I get in my everyday routine of trying to get everything done and before I know it another week has gone by. Unfortunately life won't be getting any less busy for awhile. Baseball season is just getting underway and Travis wil be coaching Tyler's team this year. So there will be lots of practices and games to worry about for the next couple of months. Hopefully the weather will be a little more cooperative than is has lately. School will be ending soon though so that will give a little relief.(I hope!) The pics that I posted are from about Christmas until just a few weeks ago. Most are birthdays and holidays. There are some random ones of Jake and Austin though since they haven't had any birthdays. I can't believe how fast they are all growing up!!

So I finally have some new pictures for everyone. I won't write much this time since I know you all just want to see pics of Jake. ( and the other kids too) Just click on a picture to see a bigger view. Hope you like 'em.

Jacob Travis Rushton- Blessing Day

2008-11-09T21:16:00.000-07:00

Jacob was blessed last Sunday. Thanks to all our friends and family who were able to be there and make it a special day.

Baby Jake

2008-11-09T21:06:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the world sweet baby. These are pics from birth to about 6 weeks old.

2008-11-09T20:58:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween!!!

Mom didn't get out Austin's swim suit fast enough.

The kids had lots of fun on all the rides at American Fork Steele Days!!

Happy Birthday Austin!! ( He's so excited. Can't you tell?)

Summer 2008

2008-07-30T09:45:00.000-06:00

Ok, ok, I know, it has been forever since I updated this thing. So, here I go. I will try to give a brief summary of our summer so far. ( I can't believe it's almost over already!!) For the most part we have been pretty laid back this summer. Kind of a nice change of pace but Mom is ready for school to start.

Travis started working the 7-4 shift which has been awesome!! The kids have really loved having Daddy home at dinner and bedtime. It has been nice for me too!

A couple of weeks ago we bought a family swimming pass to the local pool. The kids are absolutely loving it, since it has been too hot to really play outside much.

We spent July 4th at Grandma and Grandpa Rushton's so Daddy could help Grandpa put in a sprinkler system. And we spent Pioneer Day at Grandma and Grandpa Ferris'. The kids has a fun time in the little swimming pool, especially Austin. (Pics to follow.)

We took the kids camping overnight in June which was quite the adventure. Let's just say it rained all night and there was lots of mud in the morning. I think we have some pics of that too. I also decided that camping and being pregnant aren't exactly a great combo. All in all we did have fun.

Most recently was Austin's birthday. I can't believe he is two already, and boy is he two. The terrible twos have hit in full force at our house. I would write about all the trouble he has made but that would take all day. I think I will leave that for another post.

Well, with summer coming to an end Tyler and Kaylee are gearing up for school. Tyler will be in 2nd grade and Kaylee is going to Kindergarten. She is soooo excited. We are also starting the baby countdown. As of today I have 7 and 1/2 weeks left until baby time. Wow that seems soon. Travis and Tyler are also looking forward to the beginning of BYU football.

That's all for now. I do have pics to post but don't have time right now. I will try to be better at posting, but with school starting and baby coming I won't make any promises. :) Love to all!!

These are just a bunch of pictures that we have taken from the last year or so. Hope you like them.

What we've been up to.

2008-05-19T09:45:00.000-06:00

Here are some recent pictures. These should let you know a little bit about what's been going on around here lately.

Kaylee graduated from preschool last week. She can't wait to go to kindergarten and doesn't think it's very fair that she has to wait all summer.

Tyler started playing machine pitch baseball this year. He is doing great at it and having a lot of fun.

Austin loves to go to Tyler's baseball games. He wears me out trying to keep him off the field. He wants to be right in the middle of it all.

So far it has been a busy spring. School gets out in two weeks and we can't wait for a little bit of a slow down.

Yes, it's true.

2008-05-12T17:46:00.000-06:00

So, since Trine announced it for us, I will confirm that we are having another boy. And here is the picture to prove it. He isn't exactly the modest type yet. Kaylee wasn't exactly thrilled with the news and has said that Daddy can take care of all the boys so she and Mommy can play. She also looked at me the other day and said, "Mommy, boys are yucky. "

Somebody's gotta do it!

2008-05-10T18:13:00.000-06:00

This is Trine. since Kristi has not had time to update this thing, I have taken it upon myself to do so for her!!! (She doesn't know that I am doing this, by the way!) Big news.... Kristi and Travis are expecting another.........

BOY!!! They do not have a name picked out yet, I think Garrett is cute, but they are not commiting to anything yet! The baby is due around September 20th.

Our first blog entry

2008-04-11T19:16:00.000-06:00

I keep getting bugged that I need to start a blog so here we go. This might be an easier way for us to keep in touch with all of our family and friends. (Since we're not very good at it.) I will try to update as often as possible. I will start with some pics of the kids.

I should also let all of you who don't know already that we are unexpectedly expecting baby number four in September. We will find out the sex of the baby in another month or so and will keep everyone updated.

Love you all.
