Wowee!! It's been a while

So it has been a crazy ride these past months, hence the lack of posting. By way of brief update, we are here in Rexburg settled into a great new job and a wonderful new house and really doing good. I will admit that I didn't fully appreciate all of the wonderful people we left in CO. There are many amazing families that will always remain dear to us. I still don't have any good shots of the house but you can see pieces of it through the other photos. Here is a little bit of some family fun.

SYDNEE TURNED ONE!

It was fun to have Nana and Papa to come for our family party.

Cake smile!

Hey Mom I'm One!

We have an awesome fire pit in our backyard (truly one of my favorite features) and we had a weenie roast. Cold but fun and yummy!

Reading in the kitchen on saturday morning. We finally, after almost our whole marriage, we get to enjoy Brady home every saturday. We love it.

Hooray for space!

Going to close on the house! Very exciting and a little nerve wracking.

Rexburg Here We Come!!

Brady just accepted a job offer at BYU-Idaho. He will be working in the Admissions department and we will be moving in about 3 weeks. This has been an enormous answer to an army of prayers. We feel so humbled to be blessed with this job and are really excited for the new change. So all of you idahoans here we come!!

2 birthdays, a race, and the first day of Kindergarten!

So August is a busy month for us. We have Crew and Kennedi's birthdays as well as our aniversary within 10 days of eachother. This year we also had a race down in denver and Crew started Kindergarten! Busy but really fun.

I just can't get enough pictures of this girl. She is so dang cute!

Crew had his first "friend" birthday. We usually just have a family birthday at home but I figured it was about time for him to have a big chabang! We had it at a local playground that also had a splash park. Lots of fun and lots of friends and food!

Spiderman cake, way cool.

He got so many fun gifts. It was a bit like Christmas. Thanks everyone for coming!

Now Kennedi's turn.

The wings didn't come off for the rest of the day. Her party was just with the family and a bit more girly than Crew's.

Brady ran a triathlon down in Denver. He did awesome and it was a lot of fun to cheer him along. This is before the race. Right before we realized he forgot his race packet and I had to hurry back to the hotel room making it back just in time. Always fun to forget really important stuff with 3 kids in tow.

Crew is now in school. I only moped around for one day.

Now I rather enjoy the time with the little girls.

All the Kindergartners wait outside and walk into the class together. Then they all come out and wait at the end of the day too. It makes it easy for us so we don't have to go inside at all, but I also wish I could see him in his class a bit more.

That is his teacher in the solid black.

And there he is waiting in line to go to school for the first time.

We discovered new tricks around the house.

We also discovered that Kennedi is really flexible.

Oh and who can forget this cutie? She is 7 months and probably around 17lbs. She is the happiest one around the house. I just can't get enough of her or that smile. We feel so blessed and a little spoiled by this darling little girl.

Family Pictures

We took these pictures a while ago just behind our house. Who new it was that easy?

Spiderman and his side kick muscle girl.

First black eye of the season.

We went to Rexburg to see family is run a race. Brady got second in the 10k. Funny enough our good friend Jake who sent us to China (through his business China Horizons) got 1st!

My sister ran her 10th marathon on the same day and I ran my 2nd 1/2 marathon. It was a fun day.

The carousel in Rexburg.

Uncle Kit came up too!!

Our first cast. Classic story fell off the bed. Cast three weeks. Cute though.

Crew at his Amazing Atheletes class. It was a multi sport class through the city. Perfect for little boys.
