You'll look like a "real pilot" now bro...

This is one thing Luke never expected...boy was he surprised!!!!

Luke played with his geotracks for hours Christmas Day!!!

Finally...a new post!!!

So I am horrible about staying up with all of this..I am usually on Facebook and so I haven't been on my blog for a long while and decided I better get caught up...The boys and I had a nice Christmas and spent some time in Colorado with DJ and mom and dad. Of course I forgot my camera and so am waiting for pics from mom to post. Bryce got to do his annual ski run with DJ, Vegas, and Nelson. All of us spend half a day in Breckenridge riding the gondola up to the base and ate snacks at the little restaurant. Luke thought it was the greatest thing on earth! Then we drove to Boulder, CO and went to a climbing gym and spend time bouldering...Even I got to the top of the rocks a few times! Luke was a monkey and showed absolutely no fear of heights and scrambled so high DJ had to climb up after him!!! Anyway..we are back home and back to school/work. So off for now..will post pics soon!

1st day of Preschool!

Luke is so excited to be heading to his new preschool!

He has been running around the past week telling everyone

he is a big boy just like Bryce to go to school :)

"Home Away from Home"

It is a preschool/daycare so he will be there all day and

its only a block from where I work so convenient for me!

New House

Here are a few pics of our friend's house that we are now renting. I have changed some things in the boys's room like different curtains and rearranging furniture but the pics show the big rooms they both have! And we are enjoying the yard, even the extra yardwork that we didn't have before.

I have a yard and sheds!!!!

Visit from Cousin

Saturday we got a visit from Michelle and her 3 boys! It was cooler and raining out so our plans to go to the park didn't work out..but the boys all had a good time hanging out in our new place...It was so great to see Michelle and catch up...It's been awhile since we've seen each other and I am blessed and thankful for technology like email, facebook, and cell phones!!!!!! It was a nice visit...they even came to sacrament meeting with us on Sunday before they headed for fun water adventures in Colorado!!!! I miss them all dearly and will try to get up that way for Thanksgiving again if it works out!
