We wish you all Happy Holidays

This has truly been a wonderful year full of excitement and joy! We love that our extended family is rapidly expanding with the marriage of my sisters and brother, Bryce being born and a few more babies on their way. In the last General Conference President Monson briefly spoke about enjoying the current stage of your life and how those stages seem to go by faster as time moves on. We are truly enjoying our never dull life of being parents of young children. :)

May God watch over and bless you in your stage of life.

All our love,

Sean & Stephanie Orullian

We are so Grateful for Family & this Special Time of Year

Early Saturday morning our newest family member was added, Bryce a beautiful baby boy...looking much like his siblings. He has a full head of beautiful auburn hair, reminding me the description Grandma gives of my dad when he was born. :) We are all so excited and Brendan has particularly formed a close bond. It's just darling!!

We are so grateful for the blessings of family, for our new additional, for the homecoming of Jenny in just a few days and the addition of husbands & a wife to my siblings. It has truly been a year...no...9 mths...to remember. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!

Jessica's in Dance!!!! & Brendan scored a goal

So I started Jessica in Dance....this video below is only her 2nd time and she is already such a natural!!! She absolutely loves it!! When you ask her to show you how she dances she kicks her legs up, spins and taps her feet. One of her favorite things to do in dance class is watch herself in the large mirror. :) What a cutie!!!! Oh, she's the one in the orange shirt right by her teacher. (Sorry the video's not that great, we look through a mirrored window into the studio.)

Brendan is starting to warm up to playing on a soccer team. His cute shyness is starting to wear down so that he's a little more involved in the game. Today...being in the right gave him a chance to have the ball all to himself...and he scored a goal. (Almost died of embarassment after...with all the shouts of praise...but he survived.) We asked him after if that was fun...and he quietly said: "Yeh" with a smirk on his face.

I love my kids!!

Bryce McKay

DRUM ROLL........................

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!! So we went in for our ultrasound July 1st....and just like my other boys we had no problem determining we are expecting another boy in November!! Brendan's comment to it being a boy was......"I like boys!!" Yeah, he's on a "I don't like girls...I only like boys" kick. He cracks me up!!! We're working hard on getting him to say he even loves Mommy or his sister (cause we are girls). :)

We are excited and have even done some musical bedrooms...clearing a room upstairs for the baby. James and Brendan are now downstairs...and I'm hoping starting them downstairs during the summer will give them plenty of time to adjust before the baby comes. It is giving me more of a workout too....going up and down the stairs much more often. :)

I'll try to get some more recent photos updated....this week of all the kids.

Hope every had a Happy 4th!!!!
