Random Updates & Pictures

It has been too long since my last post. I guess the most exciting update is that Spencer, Morgan, and I have moved to Rexburg, Idaho. Spencer decided to continue and finish (hopefully sooner rather than later) school at BYU Idaho. It's such a beautiful school. Rexburg has been good to us so far. We haven't been through a winter yet, so here is hoping that goes well :/  Either way we will get through it and all will be fine :)

12 months
Morgan is now 19 months old. I can't believe it! I'm pretty sure yesterday was her first birthday. She is getting so big so fast and is learning so much.  She is trying to put words together now. She can say ball, night night, mommy and daddy, shoe, hi and bye, no (she is really good at that one), juice - sounds more like jew and then will slur in a s. There are most likely more I just can't think of them off hand.  She is too cute, Spencer and I look at each other and we both cannot believe she is ours. One of our greatest blessings :)
Family picture December 2011

My sister, Kim got married to long time boyfriend, Tim in December 2011. Beautiful reception and beautiful new family. I love having all of our family together, wish it happened more often and not just at special occasions. C'est la vie!

My brother is now on his mission, called to Argentina but while waiting for his visa, he is in Colorado. He left in April 2012 and one of the requests for when he gets home is to have five more nieces/nephews.  I love that he loves children. He will be a great father

In front of Carthage Jail February 2012
We went to Nauvoo, IL in February (2012) for one of Spencer's missionary companion's wedding. I had never been so it was so much fun and such a wonderful experience to witness where the early Saints lived. I liked picturing what people would have been doing in the 1800's everywhere we went. We also went to the Carthage Jail. The spirit is so strong there, truly a testiment. There weren't a lot of things open tourist wise.
We'll just have to go back during the right season. :)

Melissa graduated from Sacramento State with her masters in May. So proud of her! Way to go sis!!

  The 4th of July was great. We went to this lake somewhere in the middle of no where in the morning.  It was really pretty. Spencer and Morgan had fun walking out to the waterfall.  Spencer went into work for a little while and after he got off we headed towards Idaho Falls to see some fireworks. It was really fun, they had food vendors and stuff like that. The cotton candy was priced right so we treated ourselves and it was delicious! Fireworks weren't what we expected but it wasn't bad. Fun day for sure!  

Father's Day June 2012

Morgan's first day of nursery June 24, 2012
Well that is all for now. Hopefully next time it wont take me a year to update. :)
