Easter 2009

We had a great Easter this year. The Easter bunny came and brought the girls a lot of candy and a new outfit, they were very excited! We also got to have a Easter egg hunt and BBQ at great grandmas house will all our family. We love to hang out with our family and are sp greatful theat everyone lives so close. Happy Easter!

Kaitlynn Turns 3!

My baby is three and I can not believe it. She is growing up way to fast. And she is such a ham. You can not help but love her. A stranger walking down the road would love her. She has such a personality. And she is soooooo spoiled. Everyone spoils her it is quite pathetic. We had a bbq and a pinata and it was a lot of fun! She got a lot of fun toys and as she says they are all her very special toys! We love you Kaitlynn!!!

Kenedee Spring Program!

Kenedee's spring program was so cute. She said her part so loud and sang very good. I can not believe that she is almost done with preschool and into kindergarten.

Madison's Birthday!!

Well Madison is now 6 going on 18! She is such a girly girl. She is into fashion and boys and everything else that girls are into. She told me she wants braces because her older cousin has them and they are cool. If I pick out a shirt she does not like she will not wear it, she already wants a cell phone,and to wear make up. Boy are we in trouble! We love yo Madison and hope you had a great birthday!

Hooray!!

Casey got a job today and I am so greatful! He will now be communting to Salt Lake everyday but we are ok with that. He is going to to be a mechanic for the press machines that ironically are now printing the Daily Herald. Thank you everyone for your prayers and comments. I hope now it will not be to long before my brother in law and uncle can find a job too. Thanks again!

Being Tested!!!

So my husband was laid off from his job this weekend. He has worked for the Daily Herald for almost 9 years and it came as such a shock. They closed the whole plant down and now will be printing the paper from Salt Lake. They laid off 52 employees. Including my uncle and brother in law.

It is very scary thing to know that you may loose or have to give up everything you have worked so hard for. And with the way the world is right now it is very hard to find a job. I worry about my children and for our family. I know that if I have faith that everything will be ok and things will work out for the best.

It is so hard to remember that everything happens for a reason and that you are never given more than you can handle. Please keep us in your prayers that Casey will be able to find a job quickly and that we will make it through this trial in our life.

I know Heavenly Father loves us and will be there for us.

NO MORE DIAPERS!!

I have had to change diapers for the last 8 years at times it was 3 children at a time. And now the time has come for a life free of diapers! Thats right Kaitlynn is now a big girl and wears big girl panties!! This is a great day at the chestnut home! She was so easy she just decided that it was her time . She is the youngest of my girls to get potty trained only by about 3 months but the youngest and the smallest. Its is very cute how she has to get up on the toliet! Way to go Kaitlynn we love you!!!
