Ezra's 5 months old and my short summer catch up.

Ezra is 5 months old today. Its crazy that he's that old already, but it I suppose it feels like we've had him in our family for a long time too. We all just just love him to bits.  We fight over him like the last piece of bacon. We all love to play with him and make him laugh.  Kali loves being a big sister, I think she makes him laugh the most.

Here is a video of dancing Ezra!  Thanks Diane Gibb for the Jumparoo!  He loves it.

Here is a picture of Ezra helping me with dishes.

Ezra at the lake.

This picture is freaky, but for future memory sake I'll post this one.  Kali heard her back pop while she flipped upside down and backwards on a tube ride while still holding on, but maybe it popped when another huge wave flipped her back and brought her back in normal sitting position.  Either way she was lucky to be with Uncle Ryan a doctor who rushed her to the hospital on a back board and had her X-rayed.  

All was well.

These pictures are from the night before Mom and Dad Torrie left for their 2nd mission.  They are so awesome!  We miss them so much.  Here are a few of the grandchildren who live close.

This one is Grandpa and Ez.  They were both asleep just prior to this picture.

Life has been pretty great lately.  Spence and I had our 10 year anniversary go by, we spent it at a wedding reception eating all my favorite things: cotton candy, hotdogs, corndogs, popcorn, slushes, and mini donuts. 

10 years down forever to go.

Since our stake split up all the Medicine Hat wards and created our new ward, I have been the RS secretary. It's been a few months and I have really enjoyed the ladies I work with, we have lots of fun.  But yesterday at church I was sustained in a new calling, YW 1st counselor.  I am really excited to work with the YW, but nervous since I know nothing about the program... at all. The girls are awesome, the president is awesome, I actually knew her when I lived in Edmonton, Alison Crawford (Peterson), and the 2nd counselor is cool too.  It'll be awesome.  

Lastly, we are outgrowing our little home.  We have some projects to do and Spence wants to list it in the next couple weeks.  I have mixed feelings.

I am liking our new ward.

I never thought I really would... I feel bad that I ever thought that.

We actually have another house already lined up, but it's in another ward, where a lot of our friends are. 

The house is owned by an 88 year old lady in an old folks home (probably not the politically correct way to say that), and she was a hoarder.  Her power of attorney is our neighbor and we offered to clean it out for a good price.  Its a 5 bedroom bungalow with 1250 sqft and it has lots of potential, it will pretty much be like a mansion to us. We've been working on cleaning it out this summer and still have a lot to do.  I would like to bring in a dumpster, but Spence wants to look at all the crap treasures to see if he could use any of it. But I can't elaborate on that topic anymore.

We are excited about our new adventures.  We are excited to be a family who has 2 kids. Life is happening and I'm just trying to keep up :)
