Finally a new Post= a picture dump!

Ok. ok, I know! ... it has been an eternity since I have posted, but the last month has been a busy one for us! On the morning of May 12th, our little family packed up all of our belongings (all of which has been kept in two little bedrooms for the last two years, by the way) and made a two-day road trip up to Provo, Utah. We stopped for the night in St. George, and made it into Provo and got our apartment key the afternoon fo the 13th! We absolutely LOVE it here, and are finally settled in (which took about 3 1/2 weeks) and just anticipating school finally starting at the end of August!


Our Uhaul truck:


Our family in front of the Uhaul... it is crazy to think that EVERYTHING we own is in that truck!

A splotchy sun picture in front of our house on our last morning living there:

Now here is where the pictures start getting a little random. I apologize ahead of time, but I didn't want to sit down and make 20 different blog posts in one night, and I didn't want to drag out this updating process any longer than absolutely necessary!


So, random picture #1:


Aurelle, after eating prunes:
What a cute little mess!

This is why we call her bright eyes:

Ok, so I knew that after we moved to Utah, I was going to have to update my winter wardrobe, since I own exactly 3 jackets, and they are more for looking cute than keeping me warm anyway. But I was expecting to have an entire summer of beautiful weather, and sometime in October, when the weather started cooling down, and Ross gets in racks of jackets that we would finally get some warm winter clothes. Can you imagine my surprise to wake up the morning of May 24th to SNOW?!?!?!


Welcome to Utah, kid! At least Minnette seems excited about it, because she's going to have to get used to it!

Our poor little car
The view out of the windshield

The best part was seeing the little ones all bundled up! So cute and rolly!

These are ours!


Kyle loves doing this to Aurelle:
At the end of May we were invited to spend a few days in Island Park, which was such a blast (Thank you so much Dallin and Ashley!)
Here is Minnette in the car on the drive up:

Here's our little family (minus Aurelle... sorry Aurelle!) when we took a quad ride. It is so beautiful up there!

And, of course, this little gem... Yup. Minnette is drinking ketchup... and LOVING it!


So that's basically what we've been up to. We love it up here, but we miss Phoenix, especially our families, but we will see you all in August!

AUGUST?!?!?! Why will you see everyone in August? Is there a gathering of some sort that I am unaware of?!?!?!

Gina said...

OK, wait, I had other comments, too. I just forgot because the thing about August confused me.

I cannot believe you had freaking snow in May. That is the grossest thing I have ever heard. Ever. Seriously, good luck with all that.

I love the picture of Minnette drinking ketchup, that is such a kid thing to do. And Aurelle really is Miss Bright Eyes! Beauty!

Thanks for the update... and I think Minnette is onto something with drinking ketchup straight

Hey, love the update! They are so adorable. Funny that Minnette is taking after her Aunt Jennifer on the catsup thing.
I miss them so much. Can't wait to see you next week. And again in August when you come down for Ambers wedding (that was for your information Gina - lol).

Did you actually laugh out loud when you typed that? Because that seems like an overreaction.
