Alice's 5th birthday

                                            Went to see the Lorax with cousins

                                             Had pony rides at the ranch

We moved back to Utah at the end of February and got to spend Alice's birthday with lots of family. It's hard to believe she is 5 and will be starting school soon. For her "day" we had lunch at McDonald's, went to a movie, had pony rides, and finished it off with  cupcakes and ice cream!

For my 30th birthday John and I took a trip to New York. It was so cool to see and experience all the things you see in the movies. The taxi drivers really do honk at everyone and drive like a crazy person, It is really easy to get lost on the subway, and the pizza & hotdogs are ridiculously good. We had such a good time. We were able to stay with Rod & Katie and see their cute family. We rode the train from their house into Grand Central Station everyday. My Sister Stetsy flew up to watch the girls. We were only suppose to stay for 3 days but it had snowed so much in Washington that our flight was cancelled. After I had a good cry (I was excited to stay an extra day, but sad to not see my kids) we took advantage of our last day. It is a trip I'll never forget!

Fun at the cabin with mama Cindy and the Stuart's





We got to home in Oct for a little reunion with Cindy and John brother and sister (missed you Rod and Katie's fam) It was a lot of fun to be up in the mountains enjoying the fishing, scenery and the cabin. It is always so fun to get to spend so much time together. Thank you mama Cindy for an awesome trip! We also got to meet a couple new nieces. It was so fun to get to see those cute little babies. We had a good time at the Ranch and loved seeing everyone. Miss you all already!

Soccer and Swimming

Alice has been wanting to play soccer for a while so I finally signed her up. She really likes it and is actually pretty good. Ella Started swim lessons in July and LOVES it. She smiles all through class and has no problem jumping off the diving board.
