Christmas Dresses

One thing I love about having three girls is finding pretty dresses that match. These are some of few pictures I have recently taken of Cyerra where she isn't squinting and making a funny face for the camera.

Ashlyn decided to help Brynna dress up in practice for her first dance recital. It was cute to see all three girls playing dress up together!

Simple Joys

No pictures for this post. I should have been quicker with my camera to capture our first snowfall in our new house, but alas, it has mostly melted already. It was enough to cover our not so landscaped backyard with a beautiful cover of white for a few hours. It made me smile. Actually I think I might have even whooped when I saw snow coming down. I might be silly, but I love to see the snow coming down. I love how it covers everything in a beautiful layer of white, if only for a few moments. I love the sparkle in my husband's eyes at even the thought of getting out and pretending to be a kid again with all of that white stuff. I love how excited my kids get to find all of their snow clothes so they can go build a snowman, even if it is only 18 inches high. I love kissing little fingers to warm them up after they come in from the cold. And lastly, I love having an excuse for a nice warm cup of hot chocolate!

Red Rocks

We had a blast with Taylor and Shannie last weekend at Red Rocks.

A Walking Contridiction

I keep saying that Griff has multiple personalities and he just hasn't been diagnosed. My theory started when he started going by Scott at work, but still wanted to be called Griff by friends and family. I always have to let him make the introductions because I am often unsure of which name he wants to go by when meeting someone new. However his recent wardrobe choices have erased any remaining doubt that there have to be two voices screaming for attention in his cute little head.

Go BYU! Go UTAH!

new landscaping

Here are some pics of our new plants in the front. Now I can't wait to get the back done next March!

Sunday Specials

We had some fun this morning when we were actually ready for church early!

A couple of weeks worth of water and it is looking pretty good. Notice the new tree too. I think our new neighbors are quite happy. Now on to the back yard!

We made it back for Aaron's Baptism!

Here is a pic of some of the family we had at the baptism.

Father and son in all their glory.

All in all it was a fabulous time. We loved seeing everyone is who has been so dear to us for the last five years in the Garden 5th Ward. We will miss them.

Sold!

We finally got our other house closed on. We have found a new house and are trying to close on it as soon as possible. It is a great deal, but it will definitly keep us busy for the next year or ten. We are stuck in a hotel in Colorado. It is a tight space for all six of us, but we have survived for about three weeks so far. We are crossing our fingers that we can move in this week! For those of you who didn't know yet Griff got a job transfer to Denver so we moved here! We have loved Utah, but I am happy to say that I have found my way back home.

We gotta sell this thing!

Anybody out there know anyone who wants a house in Utah? I am so tired of trying to sell I think I'll go crazy. If I had kept track I think the numbers would be up around 45 people through our house so far. Two offers, but none have panned out. Any ideas?

Last Day of School!

Summer is finally here! We let the kids have their first annual (I think, maybe their last annual) last day of school back yard camp out. I haven't been up with kids that much in the night since Cyerra was first home from the hospital, but all in all I think they had fun. (By the way, I am not completely insane, Cyerra slept in the house the whole night despite her strong opposition.)

Congratulations Graduate!

Graduation finally came! This day would be even sweeter if he was already done with school, but only two more classes this summer and it will really all be done. What a great day that will be.
