Antelope island

We went to antelope island for memorial day. There was a sign as we entered that said,"the gnats eggs have hatched, no refunds will be given for the gnats" we wanted to stop and get a picture but when we stopped the car it was instantly covered in mosquitos and gnats. On the way out, just after dusk, it sounded like it was raining from the large amount of bugs hitting the front of the car. We could hardly see out of the windshield even after using all the windshield washer fluid so we stopped at a gas station to clean the windshield and this is what it looked like! And of course we had just washed the car last week! This would be one way to avoid the camera tickets for running red lights :) they would never be able to read your license plate.

Welcome Brian Walton
January 2015

It is official! You are all invited to visit Mickey Mouse and his full house, that includes us :)

I love to see the temple!

We finally moved to NY and were able to go to the temple yesterday. It was a little bit cooler but we enjoyed spending the whole day in Palmyra. I'm excited to be able to take more advantage of really getting to see the church history sites here in NY. Here are some pictures from our adventure yesterday. The kids took some pictures too and one of the ones August took I think is one of the best pictures we got. Hope you enjoy! (Sorry there are so many)

 This is one of my favorite pictures that August took

 Mya took this action shot of August

 Mya picked a tulip on the grounds. She didn't understand that she couldn't pick this one because earlier she was picking dandelions, the yellow flowers that are actually weeds.

If you look close you can see his teeth (they have come in 4 at a time!!!! both top and bottom!)

I love the temple! I hope all of you can get a chance to get up here to visit while we live here. You have a free place to stay!

Leaving Alamogordo

On our way out of town we stopped to take pictures of this really cool view in the mountains. I was terrified that the kids would fall so I made them stay wayyyyyy back from the edge.

Happy Birthday Kallie!

Mighty Monkeys

We signed up August to play in the community soccer league this year. He had a great time and really improved over the last 2 months. At the beginning he was shy, hesitant and was too nice. He wouldn't take the ball from other people and was patiently waiting for his turn, which is what he has been taught to do. He gradually learned over the season that he couldn't be so nice. Today was his last game. He was aggressive, even slightly pushing others out of the way so they wouldn't get to the ball. He even scored 2 goals!!! We were so proud of him, especially Adam!!

Here are some pictures from his first practice and his first game.

He had a great team and coach. It has been fun watching him improve and understand more how to play. Here's to a successful soccer season!
