Yes... Boyd and I are still alive and I finally decided to post something. So... all the way back to Christmas... we were able to go home to Arkansas and spend time with both of our families before we headed off to Florida where we went on a disney cruise with my parents and family. That will be the next post... if I actually get to that. Here are just a few pictures of Christmas while we were home in Arkansas.
And a little update on the rest of life... I'm almost 6 months pregnant now!! I really need to take one of those pregnant pics to show everyone my lovely belly. I'm feeling pretty good and feeling the little man kick around A LOT... which is a good sign. Ben looks older all the time and he says new things everyday. It's amazing how that works. I love him so much and I can't help but think that he is the cutest thing that ever hit this earth (although we have our frustrating moments... of course). Boyd is working a lot and waiting to hear about if he will make it through the "Boeing Layoffs." A ton of the people in our ward work for boeing too and everyone is a little uptight because they are announcing at the end of this month who all is getting the kick out the door. We are a little worried, but figure if it happens... then change is good. After all... we've been here almost a whole year, which is a record since we have been married (although we love it and have great friends here).
I hope everyone is doing well and leave a comment! I always get sad when I post new stuff and no one comments. I guess I should actually post stuff more often and make more comments on everyone else's stuff :).
Ben and granddaddy at Christmas time. They love each other.
My mom, Heather, Hadley, and me
Nana and Ben... so sweet.
Ben loves hanging out with his cousins. It's a party 24/7
Our little family on Christmas morning.
Ben with his cousin Hadley. They were like two peas in a pod and automatic best friends. They miss each other.
Okay... this was the cutest thing ever... Boyd's parents got Ben a harmonica for Christmas and Ben thought it was the coolest thing to play along with Grandpa.
Ben wrapped in the blanket Grandma made him for christmas. He loves it.

I can not believe how big Ben is. If feels like yesterday that we were having your baby shower. That is great that you are having another boy. I hope everything goes well for you guys and you don't lose your job. It is scary here too. It would be fun though if you moved closer.
We will hold our breath that Boyd doesn't get laid off, but if he does I heard that Houston is a great place to come. Ben is getting so big and I bet he can't wait for his new brother. You should really put some pictures of you and your belly on the blog. I think that would be so cute. We miss ya guys.
Cute PJs! I can't believe you are 6 months pregnant already. Time flies. I guess time flies when it's not your belly growing and it's not you feeling sick. I hope the Boeing layoffs don't affect you guys!
Yay, an update! I want to see those cruise pics, and of course preggo pics!
If you guys do get the boot fron Boeing, lets all head down to Fayetteville! :) Think of all the time we could spend at the lake... awesome.
I loved seeing all these pictures on the cd you sent.
You have such a great attitude about the "Bowing layoffs" . . . it will work out for the best, I'm sure!
And I would love to see my cute lil preggers Kathryn :).
So cute! I hope all works out with Boyd's job, and I can't wait to see cute belly pics!
well i'm just a little offended we didn't see you all when you came to florida, but since you are stressed about the job stuff, I won't say anything about it. oh woops, i already did : ) Just kiddin' about that. Cruises are awesome. all that wonderful food... and it's free. Glad to hear everything is going well with the pregnancy. We only have 8 weeks left until our due date, and it does seem like it's gone much quicker this time (I guess having a little one to occupy you already makes things go quicker). Hope everything turns out well!
Ok, I'm commenting...your turn! I miss you so much. I still can't believer our kids have never met, and Jacob is going to be 4 next month! When we move to Maryland we will only be 3 hours away from Jena. You should come and visit...two birds with one stone! Love you.
It looks like you had a great Christmas. i am kind of jealous of your cruise. Maybe one day when we actually have an income we can go on one of those too. I can't wait to see the pics. Good luck on the new baby. Soon enough.
I've got a bone to pick you with my little Kathryn pooh! I check your blog for a new posts ALL THE TIME. Finally you post something!! (by the way, you never comment on mine you stinker)I love the new pics and I want to see a belly shot. Can you believe you'll have another little one around soon? Ben is so darn cute, we miss you guys. Wish the boys (old and young) could see eachother more often. I miss you like crazy.
Well you seem to be getting plenty of comments on this post, but I guess I'll add my two cents too! ; )
Great to see some pics of you guys. Glad to hear the "boys" are doing well. Has it been hard running after a little one while being pregnant? I can barely keep up with Aubrey on my own! : )
Hope all goes well on the job front, but you seem to have a good attitude about it (as always). Of course, you're always welcome in good ol' Missoura! Beaver Lake has been calling my name lately...as soon as it warms up we're going to have to make a trip down there! : ) Wanna come? !
I miss you Kathryn. I am glad you got to go home for Christmas. IBM is laying off people at the end of March / beginning of April. So, we know the feeling of a little nervous anticipation. Good luck with everything. Is you baby due in May?
I figured I'd post a comment because I love getting comments too. I think you guys are great. The end. :)
I hope you guys make it through the Layoffs too! Hopefully both Boyd and Jared are safe. We need to get together again sometime and hang out. Maddie loves to play with other kids. Hope your doing well!
We were wondering about the layoffs at Boeing too. We hope everything works out for the best. We wish the best for your family.
Ruth and Brandon
