Fall Break!

Fall break was so much fun with the boys. We found a new park that we LOVE and went to the Phoenix Zoo. The boys have had a lot of fun. At the zoo they loved seeing all the animals, but I think their favorite thing was the water park. The boys also went to a chess round robin tournament. They got some great practice with Dad before hand. 

BB

It's fun watching Baby Brett's little personality come out as he grows. He loves laying on the stairs with his blanket. He'll lay in one spot for several minutes and then move on to another step.  Climbing and sweeping are his other favorite hobbies:)

Final Reconstructive Surgery

I flew to Utah and met up with Brett, who was there for work and stayed through my surgery. It was a very fast trip. Fly in on Tuesday night, surgery on Wednesday morning, fly home on Thursday afternoon. The bruising was pretty bad from the surgery, but I was SO happy to have my port removed.

OWEN TURNS FIVE!

Owen decided to have a family party with lots of fun altogether. We had presents and doughnuts for breakfast, cupcakes for brunch, pizza and games for lunch. . . it was an all around Owen day.

First Day of School in Arizona!

We had a fun water party to celebrate the end of summer and the start of a new beginning of school in Arizona. 

First day of school pics. Hyrum 3rd grade. Noah 2nd grade.

Camp Kesem 2016

Hyrum and Noah had the opportunity to attend Camp Kesem for children effected by cancer. They were pretty nervous but had such a great time.  Hyrum's camp name was Indiana Jones and Noah's camp name was Yoda.  The camp updated us with pictures throughout the week.

Hyrum turns NINE!

We really love having so much family close by to play with.  Hyrum was excited to invite everyone over for cake and pool time.  They had a fun game of pool basketball and lots of yummy bacon wrapped smokies to keep everyone happy.

Emmett turns THREE!

This little boy of mine is so sweet and equally mischievous. He is my first child to have a love of drawing on walls, furniture, windows etc. He is our 'Destructicon' and can be very trying but we love him a lot. I can't wait to see the imaginative, determined, kind-hearted man he will become someday.

Good Day

After a long day of packing and cleaning, we were able to celebrate Owen graduating Miss Liza's Preschool and Hyrum earning his Wolf at scouts.  Hyrum absolutely loves scouts! He has been working really hard to earn his wolf before we move down to Arizona.  Owen does such a great job at school.  He can write his name really well and loves beginning reading books.  He's our first lefty and so it's kind of fun learning to do things with him.

Utah Bucket List

We really wanted to take the boys up to Salt Lake City before the big move.  It was pretty neat being able to take a tour of the Conference Center and see where the Prophets and Apostles speak at Conference. 

Disneyland Part Two

It was a quick trip, only being there for two days, but we were able to do all the essentials.  The boys had a blast!

 Baby Brett got a good snuggle with Grandpa while he waited for his brothers to get off It's a Small World. 

 The days were a bit long for the little ones, so Brett stayed longer with Hyrum on Noah on the first night and Mom stayed late with them the second night.

 The best part was being there with so much family.  Check out all these crazies in one spot:)

We were pretty exhausted from all the driving, so it was nice to get back to our own beds. Now just one more month and we'll take another long trip to Arizona to settle in to our new house.  We are SO excited!
