October

We took these pictures right before our wards Halloween Party

The Gang...

The wicked Witch

The Silly Cowboy

The Itty Bitty Cow

The kids were so excited to dress up this year. Even Evelyn was a willing participant as long as she got some food...

It's been awhile...

The Yost clan is doing well. Jon is working hard and putting people to sleep. Analis is in kindergarten and working hard at learning to read. She loves to color and draw pictures and notes to everyone. Costen has been potty trained for months now and is a super helper with his baby sister. He loves to cuddle still and gives lots of hugs and kisses. Evelyn is a little bitty who has a very headstrong personality. She is walking all over the place and gets into everything... I've been trying to keep the house and family alive and well. It feels like Jon is deployed. At times I feel extremely overwhelmed, but then I remember the love my Heavenly Father has for me and how he understands. And it makes me feel so much better to know I always have help...

Home Sweet Home...

Well we arrived in Washington on the 21st and we are about 95% moved in and settled. The kids absolutely love our new house, especially the backyard and the stairs. We are super happy in our new home. We only wish we could stay longer here. The area is beautiful and peaceful. we are truly blessed.

This is the House...

We close on our first place in a week...

Easter Photos and more

I haven't posted photos for a while so here are some of my favorites.

This picture was taken by Analis (they got a hold of the camera and were taking pictures in secret)

This is the kids on Easter. (don't you love the smiles)

Moving along!!!

We can't believe how quick the time has flown. We moved here from Germany almost a year ago. And now we are starting to get ready to move again. YIKES! The kiddies are getting so old... and so am I... Double YIKES!!! We are starting to declutter and purge. Which I recommend everyone should do. Well we have been doing quite well the kids are getting so big. Analis is still loving school and has been learning so much. She is super excited to go to Washington and get a new house. Costen is way excited for his birthday and keeps telling us if we get to come to his birthday or not. It's really funny usually he says you can't if he's mad at you or if he gets in trouble for something.. Evelyn in getting bigger. She can sit up by herself and is quite an eater. She loves her baby cereal and her favorite veggie is squash. She is no nonsense eater. if you linger too long on a spoonful she gets mad. She is a happy baby and loves her siblings.
Jon has been working hard in school and starting to feel some pressure as we come down to the last few months of phase one. We hope that everyone is doing well. We'll post pictures soon...

St. Valentines Day

Well we had a very good valentines. Jon had a 4 day weekend so we got to play a little longer. Analis and Costen both loved the treats they got and the new movies. We all went out to dinner on Saturday and the kids loved the big bowl of ice cream they each got. Ellie got a new camera which she loves. and Jon got all his favorite treats made at home (lasagne and apple pie) We want to tell our family and friend that we love you.

Whos Who?
