Abigail Elizabeth Pocock- Our Final Addition

She is here. Born on July 26, 2010 at 12:25 pm. 6 pounds, 11 ounces and 19 inches long. Such a cute girl. Ashley, Lincoln and Sam just love her. So nice of Grandma Char to take them to her house for a week while Abby and I get settled!! Thank you, Mom. I love you. We love our little Abby and we are so priveledged to welcome her into our family.

Hawaii!!

Jon and I were lucky enough to go to Hawaii with my mom and dad for a week. We had such an amazing, relaxing time. And we were lucky enough to have a loving Grandma Marilyn come and watch our kids for the entire time! So, we did some surfing, snorkeling, eating and relaxing. We even got to visit some Man vs. Food sights. And, since our tenth anniversary is next month, we felt we deserved to have a good time. Here are some of our pictures.











It's always nice to return to smiling faces at the end of the trip. We had an awesome time!!

Easter pictures!! Yes, a week early, but I love pictures and when the time is right, I have to take them. Anyway, pictures of my family are my favorite. Now we just have to get us all together.

Sam pooped on the potty today!! I can't believe it! I bought him a potty chair and put it in the bathroom 3-4 days ago. Yesterday he brought it out to sit on and play with his toys. Last night he took off his clothes and sat on it for 15 minutes or so while we cheered for him. Today, he did the same thing, except he started clapping once and told us to come and look. Having done this many times, I just said good job, Sam. Ashley went and looked and he had pooped in it!! Whoa. It was quite amazing compared to trying to get Ashley and Lincoln to do that for the first time. Now I don't know what to do! I didn't really want to start training him until we got back from Hawaii... Maybe this no pressure potty training is a good thing. :)

All dressed up!

I never get pictures of them in their church clothes and looking cute. Today it worked! Even Ginger has her dress on. If they were only sitting closer together... I'll take what I can get.

Ashley recently drew a picture for an art compitition at her school. She earned an honerable mention medal. She was pretty excited. When we get her picture back, we'll post it. (It's on the table in the picture, but you can't see it)




Happy Halloween! The kids had a lot of fun looking forward to this day. Sam finally liked his costume halloween night. Ashley went as a USC cheerleader, Lincoln as a knight, and Sam as a dog.

Sam has officially taken over Ginger's bed!


So, Ash and Linc got to go to a Real Salt Lake game with me. It was very fun. They were amazed at the size of the stadium and how far they could kick the ball. And, they loved the music they play when Real scores. :)

Salt Lake Real vs. New York Red Bulls
It was really fun going to the new Rio Tinto Stadium with Dad on October 14th. What a fun daddy daughter date!








Ashley's new favorite things to do with her cute little puppy...

So, 68 days ago or so Ashley asked Jon when we could get a puppy. He said in 68 days we will get a puppy. Wow! A firm commitment from dad! She counted out 68 days and put it on the calendar. Well, here we are, with little Ginger. She is 8 weeks old and a Mini Schnauzer. She will grow to 12-15 lbs.She is super fun and cute. I found kAsley up early yesterday reading Ginger books with blankets all around her. Lincoln runs around and gets her to chase him. And Sam calls her "puttee" and always know where she is. He tries to wrap her in his blanket. I must admit, she is very fun (even with the 2 am whine to go outside to do her business). Lincoln told a lady at Jon's work her name is "Ginger Bread Pocock". He is always full of fun comments.

We have had a lot of fun the past few months with birthdays, school starting, and UEA in CA. Here are some pictures of the fun we had.

We had a great summer!!

We were able to spend over a month in CA living with Jon's parents and 3 weeks with my parents. This allowed for a lot of fun and activities as well as getting to know cousins really well. We had a blast. We are now into our home in Sandy have only our memories and pictures of the great times we had.
