Spring Break

This year we decided to get out of Kansas for Spring break. We visited Joseph's sister Holly, and her family in Cincinnati; it was so fun to be with them and the weather was so nice. Joseph's younger sister Lizzie also flew in town and we loved going to the Taft museum, downtown Cincinnati, the zoo, parks, the sweet shop, and just relaxing with family. We had a fun time and it almost made the foot of snow we came back to in Kansas not seem that bad...almost.

Playing in the dirt, the kids were entertained all through lunch.

Bob the Baker

This week we went with the playgroup to see Bob the Baker at Great Harvest. Owen liked all the mixing and playing with the flour and dough and at the end we each got a warm slice of bread with butter, it was so good!





The boys.

Valentine's

I know it is a little late, but I want to post a few pictures of our Valentine's Day this year. I was looking back at last years picture on Valentine's Day and I couldn't believe what a difference a year makes, what happened to my baby!?!

Sweet Henry.

My brother, Robert and his wife Erin, had their first little boy last week. His time on earth was short and we will miss him so much, but are so grateful for eternal families and the peace and comfort we have found during this time.

Here comes the sun...

Goodbye January, hello February! The sun was shining today and it was nice to be outside for just a little bit. It has been so cold here in Kansas that we would just run to and from our car whenever we had to go outside. We're hoping the sun will shine a little bit more!

Temple Square

Last week we went down to Temple Square to look at the lights. It was very cold, but that didn't stop Owen- he ran from one nativity to another and loved every minute of it!

Christmas!

We had a fun Christmas with our family. Of course we missed our parents, but loved talking to them on Christmas Day and being with our family that is here in Salt Lake.
