Photo Shoot

When my dad came up to help us move, we took advantage of his wonderful photography skills and took some pictures. The kids loved the umbrellas and we got some great shots. My dad has been a professional photographer for a while now, he's just taking some different routes to promote himself. The day was fun and sad because it was one of our last nights in Seattle-we miss you all to tears!!

Good Things Utah!!

We are in Utah and I can't believe it. It is hotter than I remember and I sort of feel like I am on vacation or something. The car ride was an 18 hour torture session, even though the kids were pretty well-behaved. It is strange to be back in familiar territory and into things I love here. 1)Pioneer Day-what a great holiday! 2)Good Things Utah TV show-I don't know why I like it so much. 3)Family-of course the best part even though it is last on the list! It is great having everyone around. I do think Maddie is already a bit spoiled being able to do whatever she wants-I am going to start cracking the whip! Pictures will come once we get more settled!

Happy Fourth!

Hey-hope everyone had a good holiday.  We had a great time with friends camping (in the backyard thanks to good ol' Seattle weather!)  We had  a fire and roasted s'mores and the works.  We lit  some fireworks and were really THRILLED when a neighbor came by to have us light a 12 foot string of firecrackers.  Of course Brady and Mike were game and the cops came right in the middle of the flame show!  Luckily we didn't get a ticket because the neighbor was from Maine and played the dumb card.  It was all really fun and the kids did surprisingly well in the tent by themselves!
