Getting a House!!!

2009-07-10T15:35:00.000-07:00

Well It again has been to long since I have posted anything on our blog. A quick update on our family...We are finally moving out of our small 950 sq. ft apartment, and moving into a 3000 sq. ft house. YEA!!! I think I am going to have the most empty house ever :) Oh well I am sure it will be full of STUFF soon and I will not know what happened to all the space. We are moving out to the Queen Creek area and next to my cousins Mike & Marianne, and Justin & Jessica. We are so excited and are happy we will be able to seen them more often (we hope). The pictures above are just some recent photos taken by my very talented sister-in-law Emily. The ones below are some of the house.

Wow it has been way to long since I have posted anything on our family blog. So, here is a rundown of whats been going on from January to now.

January....

We were getting ready for our third baby to arrive a little boy. Trenton James was very excited to join our family and tried very hard to back his arrival early. On January 14th I was put on bed rest to try and hold him off for atleat 4 more weeks.

February....

Trenton made it to 38 weeks and was born on February 11th, to show he was upset with us for having me be on bed rest for 4 weeks to make sure he want born to early, he decided not wait for the doctor. She showed up about 10 min. to late. That poor nurse!! Trenton a couple of days after we came home from the hospital.

Trenton James Glenn 8lb. 6oz. and 21 in long

March.....

Baby Trenton is growing and our family is slowly getting used to having 5 around. The girls LOVE their new baby brother and Kinzie cant seem to keep her hands off of him. What a blessing....now we just need a bigger place, so we arent climbing all over each other.

My wonderful kids.... Trenton, Shelbie, and Makinzie

April.......

Well school is winding down for Brett he graduates in one month!! YEA for him. He completed his airplane (sr. project) and it was so fun to watch him fly it....well until it crashed. But hey they still got it off the ground and it flew for a bit. They are making some final changes to the design and are hoping they can get it to fly a bit better the next time. I started back to work at ASU and am missing my babys so very much. Oh well maybe some day I will be able to stay at home.

Brett hard at work on his plane :) j/k daddy get a brake too

May.....

Brett is graduating on May 15 witch is going to be my last day of work. WOW I never thought that this day would come! We are looking for a job for him and a house for our ever so large family.

I know, I know I haven't posted in a REALLY long time. We were playing over this weekend for Kinzies 3rd Birthday and got some really funny pictures of her. They really have nothing to do with the party but they are really FUNNY!!!!

These are of Kinzie in ONE of Brett's pant legs. She was so happy that she got to put daddy's pants on. :)

Kinzie got some "toolers & fixers" for her birthday from G & G Glenn and she LOVES them. These are of her and Brett playing with the tools that she got. It was fun to see her at work!

Well that's all for our family for the moment. I will try and get some Christmas stuff soon!

IT'S A BOY

2008-10-10T09:08:00.001-07:00

Well it only took the jury 5 month to come up with a verdict. But it’s in and very official. The Glenn Family will be adding a BOY to the mix. We are all really happy about the addition and cant wait until we can start buying BLUE cloths!! :)Shelbie was so excited when she read the word BOY on the sonogram and realized that it meant she was going to have a baby brother. Our downstairs neighbors probably thought we were having an earth quake with how much jumping she was doing. Kinzie is still not sure but after she saw Shelbie's reaction she got really excited, she will get it soon enough. Well these are a few pictures from the sonogram, good luck deciphering the pictures :)

BIG NEWS for the Glenn's

2008-07-21T11:10:00.001-07:00

Well it is time again...the Glenn family will be expecting another baby in February! Everyone is so very excited and can’t wait to have another baby in our home. Sheblie is extremely excited that she will be a big sister twice over and is already counting down the days!! Makinzie knows that she is going to be a big sister but is not sure what that really is yet. Let’s hope she is still excited when the baby comes. Brett and I are happy and can’t wait to find out what we are having.

2008-06-10T14:47:00.000-07:00

Well it has been long enough. And I actually have something to write about. These are pictures of the little Glenn and Mauro family hiking Camelback Mountain. It was a really fun time!! Despite the 4 hour nap we all took when we got home.

Family update Shelbie is done with the k-garden and she was passed to go on to the first grade. Kinzie is learning so much and is getting so big. Brett and I are still both in school and working. Over the summer we decided to take a break from school to spend a bit more time with family and friends.

Hope Everyone enjoyed the pictures.

Quick Update

2008-04-04T10:47:00.000-07:00

Well I am told that I don't use this enough. So here is an update. Brett and I are almost done with this semester of school. And Brett will only have two more semesters to go after this, I think I am more excited than he is. We are already starting the long pain staking act of talking about were to live and are planning on looking at some of the areas we want to move to this summer. YEAH!!!

Shelbie is almost done with her first year of school. And is already to graduate!! She asks everyday when she can be done with school. She has really excelled in her academics and has earned strait A's in kindergarten. Which to most sounds like an easy task. Until I explain the fact that she has had to master the art of reading, and be able to read on her own. She has had to master math facts in addition and subtraction from 0 – 10, and already has started on numbers from 11 - 20. She has to be able to pronounce her phonograms all 100 or more before she can move on to 1st grade. Luckily she has already done all this and is loving every minute of making new friends, learning more, and reading to us each night.

Makinzie is growing more and more everyday. With her sister in school Makinzie is picking up on a lot of the facts Shelbie brings home to practice. Makinzie with in the last week has been able to recite her ABC's minus E, N and Z she try's to sing the song and some how always skips those letters. Oh well, she is only two. She has also picked up on numbers and can count to 20 by herself. It is always fun to hear Makinzie recite phonograms with Shelbie, Kinzie is trying to grow up so fast, and succeeding in that task very well. She does take after her sister in the fact that she loves to talk and is a very independent little girl. She loves to test her boundaries and see how far she can push mom and dad before backing down. She loves to give not only the devilish little smile, but the big puppy dog eyes she has to melt our hears all over again.

Well that is an update on us, look for some Easter pictures in the near future.

The Glenn Family

Look how cute!!! :)

A little about us

2008-03-05T09:34:00.000-08:00

So I thought that I would try the world of blogging.

How the Glenn Family started:

Brett and I met in March of 2005, but did not start dating until October of that same year. The official start date of us dating depends on which one of us you talk to; I stand firm that our first official date was October 2nd when he was invited to my daughters 2nd birthday party. He says it was a few days after that when he invited me on a date. Oh well, tomato tomoto. Not to long after that we were engaged at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland, on November 28th. Only two short months later on January 29th Brett and I got married and just celebrated our 3rd anniversary. We are already looking forward to number 4. Our daughters Shelbie and Makinzie are 5 and 2. Shelbie and Makinzie are two of the funniest and loving girls you will ever meet. They enjoy having each other as sisters and make us smile on a daily bases!

Our first year of marriage was much like a rollercoaster. Along with a new marriage Brett and I welcomed our second daughter Makinzie in December of 2005. Prepared for Brett to adopt Shelbie which was finalized in November of 2006 and both of us went back to school. Brett is going to school to be a Mechanical Engineer, and I am studying Business Finance. Brett is in his last year of study and looking forward to starting a new job as soon as he graduates. I still have a long, long, long time till I can even think of graduating but I feel like I am making some progress.

Well that us, not much more to say!! I will try to keep this updated as our lives continue to change of the next year or so.
