It's funny cause it's true.

The first time I went to warm up my lunch at my new office, I had one of these kinds of experiences:

I promise Axl Rose does not run this blog

Yes, it has been three and a half months since my last post, which in cyber years is almost as bad as Axl Rose's hiatus between albums but not quite. When you spend all your time looking for work, the motivation for blogging somehow dwindles. But now we're once again among the gainfully employed, and I have a new computer. What better way to break it in than updating the blog. So here is the first of what I expect will be many a new blog posts. Especially considering we're picking up the stakes and moving to the city of Brotherly Love. If anyone ever wants to come brush up on their American history, or Church history for that matter, you're welcome to come hang out with us for a while.

Check back now and then to see what the big move is all about, and to get some fun details of our cross-country drive, in the middle of Winter, with 3 little girls. I'm sure we'll have stories to tell.


In the meantime, here's some proof that we had a legitimate reason to leave our homeland:

Summer came. Summer went.

Where did the last 3 months go? We're not entirely sure but the following pictures are evidence that we've been pretty busy. We've had birthdays, birthday parties, mini-vacations, parades, picnics, family gatherings, trips to cabins, swimming lessons, drama camp, ward parties, week-long scout camp, just to name a few things. In the interest of getting caught up, we'll spare you the details and let the pictures do the talking.

Our good friends the Murrays welcomed some much needed testosterone to the world a few weeks after Tabetha was born. Yup, with all these silly girls around, Easton certainly has his work cut out for him.

Tabetha, getting bigger and cuter.

We had a great week hanging out with the Millwards, Standifords, and the Monsons.
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Who needs Disneyland anyway?

(don't tell anyone in the video we said that, or there will be tears)

Guess who's 4?

That's right! Our little Eliza Lou is no longer a toddler.
But she's still a cutie.

It doesn't take much to please a 4 year old.

Happy Easter!

Easter came a bit early this year. Like a month or more. We had a fun Easter party
with our friends the Cottams and Births. The egg hunt was a hit.
And so was the food. Let's do it again next year!

Don't we look nice in our Easter dresses that mommy made?
