It's been a while

For the past few weeks I have been trying to better myself. I think I kinda just let myself get lazy and wasn't really trying at all to do better at anything. I blame it on pregnancy and having a new baby, but don't think I totally can. Anyway, I was rocking my 5 month old baby to sleep last night and the prompting came to me to start doing my blog again. Prompting a are such a great thing! I hadn't felt one in a long time because I wasn't really doing the little things like reading my scriptures and praying to really get any, so when I had a really strong feeling to start doing my blog again, I knew it was the spirit. I got the strong feeling that I need to keep this record, not for others, but for my family and posterity. The weird thing is, I used to think about how much I had missed posting in the last 15 months and think I needed to go back and catch up before I started it again, but while being prompted to start again, got the feeling that it was okay and that I should just start from here. So here it goes! Team Awesome is back!!! Here is a little recap from the last year:

Mark finished his 2nd year at Creighton law school and rocked it!!!!!!!




In Feb. this cute boy was born! Eli Palmer Dahl was born to Aaron and Allie and is my first nephew on my side!!!


Yup, I got pregnant with our 3rd baby!



Here I am the morning I delivered, April 1, 2013.


Scout Annabelle Huston joined our family weighing 6lbs 7oz and 19 1/2 inches long.



Poor girl had to be in the NICU for a week. Her lungs weren't quite developed, but she was a trooper and did great and hasn't had a problem since!! Thankfully, my parents were here to help out with Sam. It was a really hard week emotionally but we made it!


My pretty girl


Sam had his 2nd birthday......


And then his 3rd!!!!!


This kid brings us so much joy! He is so kind hearted and sweet and just says the funniest things!!


I can't believe I have a 3 1/2 year old!



This handsome guy turned 33!


He rocks my world!


I turned 30!!!!!!!


And we celebrated 5 years of blissful marriage!!!! (Not in that order though)


Our beautiful family on Scout's blessing day!!!!


One last pic of this cute stink. I just love her!!


Last but not least, we flew to AZ and lived there ALL summer! Mark got an awesome Internship that he loved. It was fun being around all our friends and family, but we are back home and Mark started his 3rd and final year of law school!




The last 15 months have been a roller coaster of fun, emotion, and craziness but I wouldn't trade it for anything!!!!!!
