OK, let's give it a try.

So we have held out for a while now. After looking at everyone's blogs for so long, it is time for us to get with it. It has been so great to keep up with every body's lives. So here is a summary. We have lived in Vancouver, WA for almost 4 1/2 years now. We moved here from Utah so I could take a job with the Portland Fire Bureau. Since we have been here, our family has grown from 2 to 5. It's crazy. Chris, Emily, Payton, Cole, Brody. While living here, we have bought and remodeled almost our entire house. Emily has been working part-time from home and I have become a paramedic. Payton is 4 and has been in preschool for about a month now and she talks about it all of the time. According to her, we haven't taught her anything, she learns everything at Primary or school. Oh well, one day we will get some credit. Cole is 21 months old and trying as hard as he can to be like his big sister. It is funny the difference between boys and girls. Cole really loves to destroy things more than Payton ever did. She builds things up and he sneaks in and brings it down. Then the crying starts. Brody was born on January 21st. Life will never be the same again. People have told us that having 3 is a big change, but you really don't know until it happens. AZ McKenzies and WA Wolfleys, you are crazy. Playing zone gets very tiring. I have been home from work since he was born and it has been wild with the 2 of us at home. That's the short version. We will do our best to keep this up to date.
