Halloween 2009!

Brinley's Birthday Party!!!

So this is mom and her girls...we had such a good time!












Avery, do you have enough sprinkles? Just wondering!!!

Brinley's Birthday Party!!!

So this is one of the things we love, love, love, about our new neighborhood. I don't know if you can see but there are 9 bikes, cars, four wheelers, strollers or whatever in our driveway. Its so fun, the kids come in herds. We've got a good network here with all the neighbor moms. We just text them and tell them the kids are on their way to your house, or the kids just got to my house or what ever. Works great!



This is our Brinley. She is such a big girl. Ironically we had a family party this year. I wasnt sure how this idea would go over with the kids since they have made so many new friends, but I figured by darn we moved to Utah to be by family so we are having a family party! Next year we will have so much fun with our friends and families at the birthday parties.......all four of them.

Thanks to our Las Vegas friends who grew to be our family for coming to or putting on in some cases, all of our birthday parties. We miss you all so much!!

Jayden's 1st Birthday!!

So this was Jayden's first birthday! It started off good, we made it to church on time. That doesn't mean we were able to sit on the bench, you have to be 20 minutes early to do that. Oh well.....After church the Neils came over. We had dinner and a party. Mom made Jay and Tan birthday shirts that had their name and age on them. The girls want some next time. We did a race car theme. It was a ton of fun. Jayden took a good 30 minutes to eat his cake, as you can see he covered himself in it. I just remembered he didn't get any icecream! I guess theirs always tomorrow.
He got a Mater truck and a bounce house thing! Thanks to the Neils for coming. We had such a good time!

Avery's first day of pre-school in Utah!

So here's our gang. Well part of it.

This is Tanner, Avery, Kaleb, Cameron, And Brin.

They are such good friends and next door neighbors!

Peter Piper Pizza

We went on a tour at Peter Piper Pizza. They showed us all their stuff, then they let us make pizza yum!

My girlfriend Heather Duff makes these adorable hairdos. You can find her on etsy under LoveDuff. The outfits were a project of mine!

Avery was excited for Brinley to go to school too.

This is Brinleys friend Kaleb. He is in her Kindergarten class.

Pretty cute hu?

This is Brinleys first day of Kindergarten.

This is Avery and one of her new friends Lauren. They have the same bikes!

Our New Neighborhood

So we are officially Utahans now. We moved in last Wednesday evening. It took about two minutes for the girls to make friends. Thanks to our families for coming and moving us in. Also thanks to the makemsons for getting us out of Vegas. We couldn't have done it with out them. We are happy to be in Utah. We will for ever miss our friends and swimming pool in Vegas.

These are some of Brinleys new friends from her new neighborhood!

Maddy, Brinley, and Brooklyn.

Summer

I spent some of the summer sewing. These are the first embroidery projects that I did by myself with my new machine.
Tanner!

Avery!

Brinley!

I guess it's time to do the summer/every six month blog. I actually think I have it figured out now. You'll know by the frequency of posts. So not in any particular order, here's our summer.

This was one a highlight. We went to St George for the 24th of July. The kids were in a foot race. It was so fun!
