Family Visits!

We have had such a great time with family over the past few months. Because of the funerals of my Grandpas, we were able to meet up with family that we haven't seen in a really long time. We also had Adam's brother, Aaron, and his family up to visit for a week, and then we followed them back down to Utah. We can never get enough 'family time'! Here are some pictures of the time we spent with Aaron, Wendy and their 4 wonderful kids:
Caleb, Gracie, Joshua, and Baby Esther.

We watched General Conference from the COMFORT of our home! (before the new couch)











We played and played and played at the park! (Thank You Sunshine!)

On the ferry! San Juan Islands here we come!


We stayed a few nights in a cute little cabin at Lakedale. It was great for the kids, with lots to do and see. We loved s'mores around the campfire, then we all watched a movie before it was off to bed!



On the beach at American Camp.



Clara LOVES to collect rocks, so she was in HEAVEN on the beach! It's not uncommon to find rocks stuffed in all her pockets at the end of the day.



Mom and Clara! The water was so cold!!! We always look forward to spending time with family and friends. Come up for a visit! We've got room!


Loved Ones Passed

During these past few months, I had to say goodbye to my two Grandpas. It was so heartbreaking to experience this, but such a testimony to Eternal Families. Because of the Priesthood Keys here on the earth that can seal families forever, we know that we will see our Grandpas again someday. And their journey to the next life was accompanied by their parents, siblings and loved ones before them.

The New House

Things have been so crazy since Christmas! Part of the madness has been moving into a new home (new to us!) We love it! We now have a back yard to plant flowers, have BBQs, and run around in. We have great neighbors, and we're looking forward to the warmer months!






One of great things about the new neighborhood is that there is a huge park just three blocks away! Clara loves it! You can bet you will see more pictures like these! Our good friend, Katie, let us borrow this cute little jacket. Any flight jacket fits in great in this family!
