Update

It's been a while since we've written anything So here's an update and pictures.

Aly is getting bigger every day. She's now wearing 3-6 month clothes which are getting smaller as each day goes by. Jill was some what sad to have to put away the newborn clothes. Where does the time go? But as she grows her personality is starting to show more and more. She loves to laugh at people doing funny things. Jill makes funny noises and Aly will giggle but when Peter plays with her she laughs so hard that she forgets to breathe. She loves her daddy so much. When he walks into the room she lights up. If given the choice between Peter and Jill she usually wants Peter. But Jill doesn't mind too much since she's home alone with her all day long. Aly has also decided to be nice to her mommy and daddy and sleep 7 -9 hrs straight through the night. We are so blessed to have such a sweet, kind, considerate, and good daughter.

(Here's Aly getting ready to exercise with Peter and here she is just being Cute.)

Aly also loves playing with her cousin Audrey. They get along so well. We can't wait until Aly is a little bigger so that she can actually play more with Audrey. But Aly loves to watch Audrey play with her toys.

They are always smiling at each other.She also loves it when Audrey kisses her and makes faces at her.

We hope that Audrey and Aly will always stay close.

Peter and Jill are doing very well. We love living in Southwest Las Vegas and we love the Southern Hills Ward. Peter was called to teach a member missionary class during Sunday School. This class does not have a manual other than Preach My Gospel. So Peter is faced with the challenge of having to create his own lessons every week.The focus of his class is that every member is a missionary and that it is our responsibility to actively seek out missionary experiences. He is doing a wonderful job and loves teaching. Jill was called to be a Primary teacher and is currently teaching the CTR7's. She absolutely loves her class and has so much fun with them every week. She was also recently called to be the Ward Organist. Not much Surprise to that calling. She did go 1 year without having that calling. It was the first year in 10 that she didn't have it so it's no surprise that the Lord would call her back to it.

Peter has been working really hard lately. He is currently working at an assited living facility as a med tech. So he is getting really good at knowing what drugs have what effects. He is also still going to school. But is closer than ever to graduating. Also Peter and Nathan have been having their own Biggest Loser competition. Peter is pleased to announce that he has lost 30lbs in 5 months making him weigh less than what his drivers license says. But he's not done yet. He still wants to lose another 25 pounds.

Jill has been very fortunate to be able to stay home with Aly thanks to Peter working so hard. Although she misses the excitement of working she is enjoying all the time she gets to spend with Alyssa, It's very rewarding to be able to see her grow and change. So that she doesn't go crazy doing nothing, Jill has started to teach piano and voice again. She loves sharing her love of music with other people. It's the perfect job for a mom who wants to stay home with her baby.

On the news front, we were able to be sealed together as a family on January 17. That was a very special and exciting day. Aly was absolutely beautiful in white. Also, Aly is already starting to get her first tooth. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks it will come in so she won't be in pain anymore.

We promise to post more pictures of Aly as she grows more.

Love You All.
