Well...

...I don't really know where to start. A lot has been happening since I posted last. So I will try and give a quick update of what our little family has been up to in the past few months. I will start with Cason... he is always fun to talk about. He is almost 7 months old and is so much fun. He is all smiles (if your giving him attention) and loves to meet new people. He is quite the social little boy. He went on his first airplane ride down to Las Vegas to see my parents (they moved down there a few months ago) and Amy's family and he loved the plane and would smile at anyone who would make eye contact with him. It was really cute. He has been quite the little traveler. Between his four month and six month check ups he went to Casper three times and Las Vegas once. He is now sitting up on his own, eating baby food, rolling around, grabbing everything he can get his little hands on and now has two little teeth poking through. He keeps us busy but we are sure having fun watching him grow!

The past few months brought a lot of fun changes for Cason, but unfortunately they also brought the hardest thing Dan and I have ever been through and a change we wish we didn't have to deal with. Dan's sweet and wonderful mom, Wendy, passed away from cancer on Sunday, September 26th. She really was an amazing woman and was a great example to everyone she came in contact with. I could go on and on about the positive influence she has had on my life and the countless things she has done for Dan and me that we will forever be grateful for. She was a perfect Mom, Mother-in-law, and Grandma. Words can't express how much we miss her. We are grateful to know about the Plan of Salvation and that we will see her again.



On a happier note, Dan and I celebrated our third anniversary earlier this week by going to Park City. Its gone so fast and really has been the best three years ever!

2018 HIghlights

Picture journal catch up! Here is a quick month to month photo log of what we were up to in 2018. Time is flying by a little too fast! January- February- March- April- May- June- July- August- September- October- November- December- What a fun year! I know I am way way way behind but I just want to make sure I document some of our fun adventures so we never forget what an amazing life we have been blessed with. We have had plenty of hard times but looking back through these pictures helps us to be grateful for all the good times as well!

February 2017

February refused to slow down for us. The kids also refused to slow down for us. I sure do love these busy days with our little family.  Unfortunately, Ellie figured out how to climb out of her crib and decided that climbing out and playing with toys is much more fun than napping. So, she is done with naps, which makes this tired, pregnant mom very sad. When I put her down for naps this is usually what I find when I go back into her room. She keeps me busy! As you can see from the picture, the kids (I think it might have just been Ellie and Kami that did the damage) decided to pull ALL of the books out of the cabinet. They love to look at books, which I love. They usually just get the books out that they want to read, but this day was obviously different. Luckily, it is an easy cleanup.  Dan turned 32 this month! We had my parents over for mint brownies and ice cream to celebrate. He had to take the youth snow tubing up at Brian Head on his birthday so we didn'...

October 2016

October is Southern Utah is my favorite. The weather is absolutely wonderful. Here is a quick recap of what we were up to. Ellie took to the ottoman to display her artwork during General Conference. Look how proud she is of herself! Unfortunately, marker does not come out of fabric so good. It's a good thing she's so cute!  We spent a lot of time enjoying Grandma and Grandpa's pool. The kids have turned into little fish. Even Kami, who didn't like putting her head under water now prefers to take her floaties off and can swim short distances. Her favorite activity is to dive to the bottom of the shallow end to pick up dive sticks. Cason's favorite pool activity is to jump off of the jumping rock to catch the football. Ellie just loves to waddle around and explore, but especially loves when Dan and I get in to play with her. We discovered an awesome park in Hurricane call Grandpa's pond. There are tons of ducks to feed, walking/biking paths an...
