The Return of the Blog Posts!

 OUR NEW HOUSE. almost. In a couple weeks, this will be ours! After 11 moves in our 5.5 years of marriage, it's about time we settle down. We've been in 1 and 2 bedroom apartments mostly, so this house is a mansion to us! It's close enough that Jonah can still ride his bike to work. WooHoo!

 This yard might not seem like much, but for Arizona, this is HUGE! It has a small pool (which we will fence in ASAP) and trees and so much room to run around in. This will be the boys' first yard ever! We'll get crackin' on growing some grass too.
 Samuel is an official preschooler now. Four days a week for three hours each day he plays with his friends while his brothers nap. It's perfect. His favorite activity is soccer and playing with the toy bugs.

 Poor little dudes had the strangest rash that made them miserable. This was more than a month ago and now they are losing some nails. Weird. But look at that sweet Simon still smiling. 

 Frosting at a pirate birthday party!

 The new Gilbert LDS temple

 Dinnertime gets messy.

 "Can we get a goat?"

 Fun at the zoo.

 Love this guy

 I love Sock Hand Man too

 Snazzy new Sunday clothes - thank you Logan and Barbara

 Danny put a backpack on his head and attacked Samuel with this blow up sword. Samuel got creamed. Finally.

The boys love to play in Vaniel (the name of our van)

 I held another Music and Movement class series. 

 Power Wheels at the park. Oh yeah!

 At Gymboree.

 Hi Blue Eyes!

 Hiking in pajamas. Finally found a place to hike around here. The boys got so excited whenever they saw a cactus. 

 Great rocks to explore.

Made a mess of the toy area.I sure do love my Spiderman!
 
 Playing with the Prairie Dogs at the zoo

Bath party!

Samuel learned how to write his name

 Making Valentine cookies. Samuel said, "When can we go play? This is hard work."

 Samuel always poses in the bathroom after washing his hands. What a goofball.

 Touching the stingrays

 Another hike in pajamas. 

 So excited about seeing the temple open house

 Our little dudes at the temple

 It is so warm and beautiful here!

 Found a puddle!

Counting freckles.

  1. I love all the pictures! You have such an adorable family! And so much fun. :) With the rash and now losing nails - sounds like you guys had hand foot & mouth! Our little guy had it last year and James got it too. Not fun at all.
