Gracie will be 6 months in December and gets cuter everyday. We are trying to sell our townhouse, so we can move a little closer to family and to Mark's soon to be job. I don't want to bore you with all of the details, so that's about it. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.
Hi all!Wow! We all know the old adage, "The only constant is change." Well in my family that really seems to be the only constant these days. First and most important, my first child was born on July 27. His name is Carson Roger Burnett and was 7 lbs 14 oz at birth. Now he is about 20 lbs. It's amazing how fast he has grown and changed. When he was born, I quit my job. I was working as a Head Start teacher in Ogden. Now I stay home with Carson. Being a mom is the most amazing job I have ever had. I never imagined that I could love someone so completely and unconditionally. I truly love being a mom! My husband and I bought our first home in May. We are living in West Point now 
and I absolutely love it! We are in a wonderful neighborhood, perfect for raising children. Our house is very nice, although it needs a little work here and there. Now for changes that are a little more stressful. My husband got a job doing finance at Sierra RV last January. Due to the market and the management's unrealistic expectations, he was fired in June. He found a job with a start up company in July. They promised that they would be getting funding in within the month so they could pay their employees. However, the funding company they were going through turned out to be a scam and they lost the money they had paid the company and were left with no money to pay their employees. So after waiting three months, we decided that Phil needed to find another job. He is now working for a company called Banker Life and Casualty. He sales Medicare extention packages and insurance to old people. This should be a good job for him. That's about all for us. I am going to attach a couple of pictures of Carson. The first one is his first experience with fall leaves. You can see how much me loved them. The second is a picture I took of him on his 3 month birthday. Sorry it's a little dark.
haven't written for awhile, so just wanted to write a quick note. Ryan and I also had a baby boy on October 24th. The baby's name is Kayden and he weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and 22 inches long. He has been a lot of fun and is very cute. He is now the star in both of our families. As for the rest of our lives, I will be off work for 12 weeks then I will go to part-time working at LDS hospital in a level 2 nursery, so I will be surrounded by babies. Ryan is going to school, majoring in history and eventually going into the Air Force, hopefully as a pilot. He is also working at Maceys as a front-end supervisor. Well good to hear from everyone!
Corey and I are so excited to announce the birth of our sweet Elsie Jayne. She has been a piece of heaven ever since her arrival! Corey's included a play-by-play on our blog, so your welcome to follow our link if you want to read in. There are also plenty of pics there as well, so I won't bombard you with pics here. :) 
with Shamu and Mickey and Minnie. We sure did have a long vacation, but it was worth it. Parker did pretty good the whole time, it was the getting back to our time in Georgia that was the killer. After a few weeks we got him back to the three hours earlier he was use to. Parker at eleven months started walking. He is up to about 10 steps at a time. It's fun to watch him grow up. He is a great kid. Willie's sister is getting married in July and she found a little tux for Parker to get dressed up in. He will be such a stud. Willie's work during the summer has allowed him to spend more time at home. At the end of June we moved to a new apartment just across the street from our old place. Across the street put us in a new ward, stake and mission. We will miss a few of the people we met in our old ward, but we are still close enough that we may get to see them every once in a while. Our first night in our new apartment Willie tried to use the shower and instead of the water going in the tub it went into the wall. After about 45 minutes we were finally able to get the water shut off. Our neighbors below us were kind and they understood that it wasn't done on purpose. We had a great time with it. We took some fun pictures. Happy Birthday to those of you who celebrated in the last few months, and happy weddings too. Congratulations to those who are expecting or who delivered! I hope that everyone is in good health and happy. 
Hi everyone!!! I hope that everyone is doing great! Congratulations to all that have had little babies. Congrats Mark and Natalie…little Gracie is so cute! Congrats Alisa and Corey…that is so exciting that you are having a little girl! Congrats to Misty on your little baby! Congratulations to Thom and Darcey on your wonderful marriage! Happy birthday to little Parker Harrison! I can’t believe that summer is almost over! These past couple of months have been filled with holidays, vacations, and work. My family bought a timeshare so we went to Vegas in July! It was super HOT as you could imagine…temps reached up to 115 degrees!!! I stayed at the Grandview
Las Vegas Condos…it was really nice. There is so much to do while in Vegas. We went to a Variety Show at Planet Hollywood which was pretty good! I went to Red Rock Canyons and hiked one of the many trails. My sister and I went and saw Natasha Bedingfield and The Veronicas in concert at the House of Blues. It was a great concert! We also got a few laughs out of it…there is always that one drunk person that just makes a fool out of themselves:). The 4th of July was fun…filled with parades, bbq, and fireworks. I went to the Riverdale fireworks this year and thought they were pretty good compared to years past. I also 
went up to my cabin up in Bear Lake a couple of weeks ago which was really relaxing. The weather was great and so was the water… that is once you get in! Besides the holidays and vacations…everything is about the same with me. Work at the pharmacy is good. I have been a little busy with wedding guestbook’s
these past couple of months. I finished my last guestbook just in time to start reading the book “Breaking Dawn”! I was so excited for this book to come out as most of you were who are obsessed with the books as I am…you know who you are! I hope that everyone has enjoyed their summer!

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Easter in the same month!! Happy Spring! Corey and I decided last minute to fly to Ft. Lauderdale, FL to hang out on the beach for a few days. We probably should have checked the weather before we booked our flights--it's a little cloudy, but it sure is a lot warmer than Boston! It's nice to get away for a little while. Krista, I can't believe how BIG Parker is already! I love Sea World!!! Good luck Nat with school--it's the last part of the race! Congrats to all of you expecting little ones soon! That's exciting! Life is good--we're just trying to finalize some internship possibilities.
For any of you in Utah looking to support the arts in Ogden--Peter Pan will be playing at BHS in April! I was sent an email for a billboard advertisement and it occurred to me that Peter Pan looked really familiar--probably because it was my brother Kyle! :) We totally wish we could be there--so if you do go, maybe Corey and I could live vicariously through you!

e snow. Willie and I had our anniversary in January. We took our little boy, Parker, to the Georgia Aquarium during that time. We are looking forward to the next few months. Being so far away from home we enjoy the times we get to see family. My Grandma Combe is coming to visit in March and then we get to go to Disneyland in May just after my little sister gets married. Willie is spending a lot of time at school and work, which gives me a lot of time to play with Parker. Parker has been sitting up on his own and he is starting to learn to crawl. We started him on solid foods, which is fun. We wish he could stay little, but we really like to see him grow and develop. I know I didn't have much to say this time but I hope that you all are doing great! -kristac.jpg)
