these Utah springs...

I don't know about ya'll, but I start to get anxious for some bright sunshine and warmth come mid March. Utah springs are deceptively cold we are now in May and are still having snow and the average temperature is still in the 50's! Thus, when Sasha and her family mentioned they were planning a trip to Disneyland I weaseled my way into their family vacation.


We drove the 10 hour drive to southern California. After getting through Vegas we stopped for a much needed break and Tanner and Luke and I rode Buffalo Bills roller-coaster. I remember being in high school and while visiting Vegas we would make the hour pilgrimage to pay our respects to Buffalo Bills.


We went to Crystal Cove in Newport. I totally felt like I was on the show Laguna Beach.


I taught Lilly, Ava, and Eli the art of making a dribble castle.


Millie loves her cousins.


Lily and Millie are the best of friends.


The first meeting of hopefully many.


Millie did a lot of this while we were there.


We love Disney!

Millie loves secrets

A peek into our exciting night life

happy easter

family adjustment disorder

This little 16lbs 24inch human has command of our life. When and if we sleep, when we eat, if and where we go out. Life now revolves around her.

She dictates when Luke baths.... "yep it is time to wash your hair"




"you want to play fetch Kyah? Nope, I am going to use you as my recliner and play with your whiskers, now hold still"





But all she has to do is flash us a gummy smile and we are putty in her hands!

over the holidays

The dust has settled, the holidays are over. Now that I've had time to get things back in order I am finally getting around to updating some pictures.

Our new family picture Amie was kind enough to take.


Halloween with all of the grandchildren. Lilly was a punk fairy, Ava and Eli were spiderman and spidergirl, and Amylia was a lady bug.


She normally hates being her carseat. So we had to capture her looking content.


Amie Jo came home for Thanksgiving and got to meet her first niece. It seemed like the two hit it off.


As a gift for both sets of grandparents, I took some pictures of the babe.



Since she was the youngest she got to play baby Jesus in both Nativity plays at the Cook's and Colledge's.


Baby Millee in her Christmas dress.


We blessed her the Sunday following Christmas. She wore the same dress I was blessed in!

Amylia Ann

Amylia today is a month old! Time flies when your at home for a month attending to a newborn's needs. Anyways I am finally posting some pictures of our sweet baby.

Going private

I think I'm paranoid. I am going private so if you want to see what we're up to let me know. If your cool enough I'll add you onto our list.
