Adam's First Birthday.


Okay so my little boy is one year old. Isn't he so handsome, just like his daddy. He started walking on his birthday. I thought it would never happen, but finally he is takeing steps. We keep waiting for it to get cold but no luck yet.








For Adam's birthday we invited the Kim and Dave and their kids over for cake and ice cream. They were nice enough to take a picture of our family after we commented that we don't have a family picture that actually has Adam in it. So thanks Kim!















Adam has watched Lauren eat cake too often I guess, or maybe they are just born with it, but all he did was eat the frosting, or get frosting all over his face, however you chose to look at it. I was thinking about all of our other kids and the huge parties we had on their first birthdays with so much family around, it made me sad and I felt lonely for a little bit, but we really are enjoying the area and the ward. The mountains are beautiful. Our apartment isn't huge, but if you ever need a place to stay out here in Utah give us a call.

First Day of School

So this is a picture of Katelyn's very first day of Kindergarten. We moved into our apartment finally on Saturday and the folllowing Monday the kids started school. We can walk to school and it's lots of fun. I was a little stressed out with the mess in the house so we took this picture after Katelyn got home from school. Out here Kindergarten is half day so Hailey was still at school so I have no pictures of her and her fist day of second grade. However, when I tool the kids to their classes, Katelyn barely gave me a second galnce as she ran off with her teacher, Hailey on the other hand asked me to stay with her until the bell rang. I love feeling loved. Poor Lauren wants to go to school so bad.

Hoover Dam




So I thought after seeing it in Transformers that it would be much more impressive, but it wasn't. We took a little detour on the way home from Arizona stopping at Ryan and Susie's in Vegas. Hence, we got to go over the Hoover Dam. I really wanted to see the Grand Canyon, but after going over some other Dam, I figured that it was close enough. I was ready to be home, even if it was a hotel. At least it was a bed and cable tv and no more driving.

Hailey's Birthday



We drove down to Arizona for Hailey's Birthday. Can you believe that she is 7 already? One more year until she is baptized. I think we have moved almost every year right around her birthday, poor girl. One of these days she will get a really great birthday party, but until then we had fun. She got some Hannah Montana stuff and we had a chocolate cake from Sam's club. I don't know whose child she is. Anyway, enjoy!
