For Sale!!

For the last 6 years Jeff and I have talked about moving to Oregon. Jeff loved growing up there and we visit often. We have been looking for better job opportunities for Jeff over the last 6 months and out of the blue an opportunity came up in his home town of Vale, Oregon. It's all happening so fast and seems a bit surreal, but I guess we are moving pending the sale of our house!! I'm excited to experience life outside of Utah, but super sad to leave our close friends we have here. I never imagined how stressful it would be to try and sell a house, especially in this market!! So if any of you know anyone looking for a home in East Lehi, send em on over! ;) Linds.. you have any pointers on small town living?? ;) We'll be joining the ranks! haha

Itty Bitty Basketball

Alissa had her last day of Itty Bitty Basketball on Friday! She had a lot of fun being on the same team as her friend Chiara. I'm not sure that she really learned a whole lot while she was there, but she loved it and sure looked cute trying!! Here are a few pics...



Brooks loved watching her play and even picked up a thing or two!

Happy Birthday, Brooks!!

Brooks turned 2!! I say this all the time, but it really is crazy how fast time flies!! Seems like you wake up one morning and your baby isn't a baby anymore.. he's a little boy!!! He had such a fun birthday. We celebrated his birthday on Saturday with Jeff's family and then again at home. He had so much fun and was so excited for the presents and cake. Thanks so much to our family and friends that remembered Brooks and made his day extra special!!
The cake wasn't anything fancy, but he liked it! Here is Brooks blowing out his candles and eating some cake.



He had fun opening his presents and had lots of help! Thanks everyone!!




We had his favorite meal... pizza!


He had fun playing with all his toys and his little friends



Thanks to our friends for remembering Brooks on his birthday and for coming to celebrate with us!
He was definitely ready for bed last night!! Brooks, Happy Birthday!! Glad that you had such a fun day!! We are so lucky to have Brooks in our family, he has such a fun personality and is such a good little boy!! Love you buddy!


Tis the season!

So, since I was a pretty big slacker and never sent out my cards... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (a little late!) ;) Hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas season. We had fun getting together with lots of friends and family. We spent most of Christmas and New Years out of town with family, some that we hadn't seen in years. It was definitely a memorable holiday! Thanks to everyone who sent us cards and gifts to make our Christmas just that much better. My camera died for New Years... but here is a glimpse of the rest of our holiday!
