 Time for a little update. Seems like that is now how I blog. Every time, it's to give a little update. Life is seriously flying by me. It had slowed down for a month or two but now we are back to our craziness again. So here we go! Life as an Iverson is busy and fun and boring and great!
Our ward boundaries changed two weeks ago, so now we are in a new ward. It's bittersweet. I don't love change or being the new people (they should kick me out of the AF because that's our life now). I am sad that I am no longer in the RS presidency. I really really loved serving in a capacity like that. I do hope they send me back to YW's though :) I am however, excited to be in a new ward. This new ward has a lot more families our age, with kids my kids' age.  

These three cuties are my whole world.
 Ryan has been a challenge lately. Teething in our family is the absolute worst. All three have been hideous teethers. And Ryan is proving to be following right along. He has weeks where he is great. He has other weeks, like the last few days, where he cries and screams at my legs all day long. It's exhausting and I can't wait to be done with teething. 
St. Patty's Day.
Weston is such a stud athlete. He is in the middle of his soccer season and just so good. He is also playing baseball(in our back yard with Wade) every night and that kid can smack that ball. I can't wait to see him out on a baseball field. He has had some ups and downs in his behavior the last few months too, but I think that phase has ended because he has been pretty good lately.
Brooklyn is just about the same. Just the most pleasant human you will ever meet. She too is in soccer for the third season and doing well. It's kind of a bummer because she is on a team with mostly boys, and these boys are soccer stars. Which means that Brooklyn sees less ball time and it's less fun to watch. I am putting her on a summer volleyball team, so we will see if that fits her well. A few days ago her teacher at school posted a picture on Instagram of a darling little note that Brooklyn had left on her desk for her. She had taped a  bag of skittles and some starburst to it and told her how much she loved her. It made her teachers day and mine too. She is a sweet heart.
Here is our Lawyer in action. Well not actually action-they were in a recess(I would have been kicked out for taking a picture in the middle of court). It was fun to see him kick butt. That Wade is a pretty good lawyer. He is a bussssssssssy busy guy but loving it! Did you know that we find out our next assignment in November and move next summer? BOOOOOO!
The weather here is creeping up on us. It's been in the high 80's and 90's. We have just a month exactly left of school and then we are out! We have a big family trip planned for June and a few little trips and things here and there to keep up busy for the summer. I am counting down the days until I have all three kids at home all day. I LOVE when they are home. 

I had a stressful experience a few weeks ago. It included a very sad dream. The same day I opened my scriptures to read and in the margin I saw the words I had written "Revelation through dreams" It shook me for a few days. Whatever happens in our life, or whether that dream was a weird bad dream or truth, it made me wake up a bit. I need to be doing more. Our home needs to be more peaceful and more gospel needs to be studied here. I am terrified at the thought of raising kids in these last days but I am determined, more now, to make sure my kids are prepared and have a huge testimony. I have made some adjustments to the things we are doing in hopes at creating more time for good things. We have tuned off the tv, the music and electronics more (we don't even own an Ipad, and aren't very "electonicy" but still). Right along with this experience, I have been feeling a strong impression to study the scriptures. I have made it a MASSIVE goal to study, not just obediently read, the scriptures. I bought this study aid at the church distribution center. It has made a world of a difference in studying. It helps clarify each chapter and gives excerpts from talks that relate. I actually look forward to studying everyday. If you are not studying the scriptures, I encourage you to buy this: Here is the link http://store.lds.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product3_715839595_10557_3074457345616706194_-1__195629
I have noticed that I am happier, and I have more hope. I also have noticed I have a lot more patience and appreciation for the small things that happen in my everyday life. I know I am being blessed.
haha. I love us.
One night we took the kids out to this chicken wing restaurant and then after to get ice cream. I think they scored that night! 

Wade and I are approaching 10 years of marriage this summer! I cannot believe it. We are so much better now then we were then. Even better then a year ago. Maturity does wonders in life :)
Oh I love this little slice of heaven. He has his phases and moments, but for the most part this kid is easy peasy and I am totally in love with him!
