Thanks for the tour, ya'll come back now

The kids at a party on a friend's ranch.

Grant was VERY excited to open his presents on his birthday!

Grant's puppy-dog birthday cake

After a very exciting family home evening lesson in which
Scott told the story of Captain Moroni, we made our own family Title of liberty and we each signed it.

Grant is our little climber! Even before he could walk very well he would climb up on the teeter totter and rock back and forth like he's surfing.

Watching General Conference was fun this year. The kids are getting older and can participate in fun activities as we watched Conference together.

Sierra has become our little Rachael Ray. Here she is creating a surprisingly tasty treat.

Dallin had a Pirate party for his 5th birthday complete with a treasure hunt and a pirate ship cake.

The kids experiencing their first Texas thunderstorm.

Dallin testing out his nap mat for his first day of Preschool.

While staying with Grandma Sue and Papa Mike, Grant learned to walk. He started by pushing this basket of toys around the house until he found his balance.

This picture was obviously taken on the FIRST day of our three-day car trip.

Our California kids ready to move to Cowboy Country.

Dallin and Sierra "helping" us pack.

Here is Sierra on her Birthday --- in July-- it was the same week as we moved. She requested a pink pig cake.

Well, we have FINALLY moved into our own house here in Texas and can get back to blogging cute pictures of the kids. We haven't posted any pictures since the 4th of July, so, I thought it'd be appropriate to show how much the kids have grown. Here is a picture of the kids on closing day, right after we got the keys to our house. It's only been a week, but I am already predicting many ER visits due to this fireplace.

And here's what they looked like the last time we blogged.

Where have we been?!?!

Ok, we know that it has been quite a while since our last blog-- and this entry doesn't even include any cute pics of the kids. For those of you wondering what's going on, let me start by saying we've moved to TEXAS. . . yeeeehhhaaawwwww! We don't have access to our computer, so you'll have to wait (who knows how long) to see some pictures. Since our last blog, Sierra turned 3, we moved to Texas, Scott has started a new career, we've moved in with Scott's mom until we can get a place of our own. Grant is starting to walk and talk, Dallin starts preschool next week and we're having fun learning to become Texans.

Happy 4th of July!

Our family spent the 4th of July with one of Melissa's best friends and her family down in Turlock. They live in Utah and were just visiting California-- it's GREAT to spend holidays with friends!!! Especially when we don't get to see eachother very often.

It has been HOT here, so we all went swimming in a friend's pool. This was Grant's first time swimming. He was pretty timid at first, but he quickly realized that it was just like a huge bathtub and then we couldn't get him to stop splashing. He was upset when it was time to get out of the pool.

The kids loved petting the goats at the Bowers' and feeding them leaves from nearby trees.

One of the highlights of the day came when a neighbor brought by baby goats for the kids to feed.

Macy, Logan, Zoe, Sierra, Dallin and Grant anxiously awaiting the Fourth of July festivities.
