McKelle and Trevor are so much fun! They are such good kids and I can't believe how big they are getting.

These are some of my favorite pics of Carter. LOVE his eyes!!!

Ha ha! Really? It's been over a year since I did anything on this?! Crazy times! Well, here is my most recent family pic, taken last November! At least the baby is in this one! His name is Carter and he is now 19 months old. He is so dang cute and so much fun.

Pregnant again...

Now that I've posted our life story, we are pleased to say that we are pregnant with our 3rd baby due to arrive December 23! I didn't plan on having the baby in December, I actually had tests done and had bought fertility pills because we had to go on them to get pregnant with McKelle, but after I bought the pills I found out I was already pregnant! We know that we are having a boy and we are so excited for his arrival.

Trevor is Born!

Now that I've bawled my eyes out from my last blog - Trevor was born like I said on August 21, 2004. He is now 4 years old and so full of energy and life. He was the BEST baby when he was born. He was so content all the time and a great comfort to us. Then he started to get mobile - and that's when he became trouble! He got into everything and anything and tests our patience as a 4 year old now! He is such a hoot, though, and continually has us laughing at the things he does. He goes to preschool and loves it so I have an hour to myself each day while he is at school and McKelle is at Kindergarten and that goes by like 5 minutes - but hey, it's an hour!

Don't Take Life For Granted...

On Thursday, August 19, 2004, Ryan's mom was killed by a man she had been married to for 5 years. She had left him and was in the process of divorcing him when he stalked her and shot her when she was leaving for work. Needless to say, this was a very devastating and life-changing time for us. I was due to be induced and deliver my son the next Wednesday. I went into labor at 2:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 21, and had Trevor exactly 48 hours after Marydell was killed. What a roller coaster of feelings! We were so thrilled to have our new baby boy, but so devastated at having lost our dear mom. Poor Ryan had to write a talk for his mom's funeral while we were in the hospital. I wasn't able to go to the funeral because I was still recovering from childbirth. We are so thankful to Heavenly Father for our blessings and for the knowledge that we will be reunited with our loved ones after this life!

Marydell LOVED and lived for her kids and her grandkids. She is always in our hearts and minds and will be forever missed. We love you mom!!!

McKelle is Born!

Mckelle Jane Leavitt was born in February 2003, after using fertility pills! We were so thrilled at our new baby girl and we are still enamored with her. She is the light of our lives and such a good kid. She just started Kindergarten and loves it!
