Two and a half years later...

Oh hey there! I'm back. A lot has happened since I last blogged. Let me catch you up. 

This is Canon Mitchell (our blog hasn't met him yet.)

He was born on April 10, 2014, weighing a solid 10lbs even. He's wild, mischievous, adorable, 

and so fun to be around. He has the most tender heart and is always sharing with his brother. 

He loves to scratch, bite, and play with any type of ball. He is very outgoing and will say hi

and make friends with anyone and everyone. He has been the perfect addition to our family, 

we love our squish. 

This is Hudson, remember him? I'm sure he looks a little different now. Last time we talked 

about him he was only one and a half years old. He's four now, and the smartest

little guy you'll ever meet. He is becoming more and more independent, but still really

needs his mom and dad at times. He starts preschool in September and is very excited 

to learn and make new friends. He loves having a little brother to play with, 

and is really good at bossing him around. 

I'm still Alyssa and he is still Chris. We don't hold hands as much, or go on as many 

creative and fun dates as we used to, but we are still together and we are still in love. 

Our lives really have changed big time since the last time you heard about us too. 

We had a baby (Canon), bought a house in Arizona (yay), got a dog (Zona), 

decided it was time for a career change (back to school...again), sold our second car (Tory),

packed up our stuff  (rented out our house in AZ), gave Zona away (sad), 

moved to good ol' Las Vegas, Nevada (UNLV), bought Chris a motorcycle (Honda Grom),

 and found out I was pregnant again (third baby = girl!) See, told you a lot has changed.

Let's talk a little more about my handsome hubby for a second (I know, I got so lucky, right?) 

He graduated from BYU-Idaho with a Bachelors in Business and Finance four years ago. 

You guys already know this, (I think??) but after he graduated he accepted a job offer

for Wells Fargo in Arizona. So we packed up our little apartment and little family

of three, and moved. He worked for Wells Fargo for three and a half years, before deciding

he didn't want to be stuck anymore. He wanted more for our family, and wanted to do 

something in the medical field. He is attending UNLV right now, for some pre-reqs and then

will soon (hopefully) decide which direction he wants to head in. 

This is me 21 weeks pregnant with our third baby, a girl this time. This is an old picture though, 

I am 29 weeks along now. We are so excited for our little girl to come and can't wait to snuggle

her. The boys are ecstatic, and are constantly talking, hugging, and asking to feel her. 

I am still so amazed every time I feel her kick and move in my stomach. I feel so 

grateful to my Heavenly Father for letting me carry and raise three of his beautiful children.  

Alright, I think you're caught up. No promises, but I am going to try and be better about this

whole blogging thing. I have missed it lately, and I want my kids to have something to look

back on when they're older.
