Life has been crazy...

We have been busy this year with lots of changes. We had an opportunity present itself to us that we felt we couldn't pass up. So with that opportunity led to us moving and relocating to Utah. We were sad to leave all the Family and Friends in Idaho. But we are excited to start this adventure in Utah.

McKayla started Kindergarten. She loves it. She also has been riding her bike with out training wheels now.

Lincoln just turned 3 on August 13th. His only request was a pair of roller skates and to go to Chucky Cheese.

My Parents came up to visit and to go to my cousin's wedding and then they went on up to Montana where my Sister Amber just moved to. I decided to hitch a ride with them. We spent a week up there and went to Glacier National Park for a few days as well. I can't believe how beautiful it is there. So many huge lakes and trees everywhere it's amazing and soo pretty.

My kids always Love going to the bounce houses. It's great fun.

Lately Lincoln has been a little difficult going to bed so we decided to let McKayla and Lincoln share a room and a bed to help them sleep. Surprisingly enough they are pretty good about going to sleep and not playing...so far. So I was checking on them one night and this is what I found, they seem to gravitate towards each other. So cute.

So with our move to Utah we decided it was best to leave out bunny in Idaho So to help ease McKayla into this idea I took her to Build a Bear and let her make a new bunny that she could bring with her and comfort her when she would feel sad about her REAL Bunny. We were walking around the store and I turned around to see Lincoln had found a little car, made for the stuffed animals, and was able to fit in it.

And then McKayla had to try it out too.

We went to visit some Dental School Friends. McKayla's Best Friend Maddie. It was a fun time. WE miss all our friends. We are hoping to get to see them more often now that we are in Utah.

Our Last visit at Dev's Office in Idaho and apparently McKayla's Bunny had some decay she needed to help get rid of. Lincoln was a great dental assistant.

It only took one try and McKayla had it figured out. She is cruising along now with the upgrade in a bigger bike and no training wheels. She was so excited to learn she got up first thing in the morning before she had breakfast or changed out of her pajamas.

Happy 3rd Birthday Buddy

So Lincoln really wanted to go to Chucky Cheese for his Birthday. Dev being the kid at heart had to climb inside and do the rides with the kids. And then insisted on me riding on the mary go round too.

McKayla won all of these tickets playing the game behind her. Where you try to drop a quarter and have it go in a slot on the opposite side after going over a spinning wheel.
His Favorite things to do at this chucky cheese was the mary go round and playing the basket ball game since Dev stood him up on the front board.

This is how Lincoln says he is 3. Just another one of those things he likes to do in his own way.

Montana

While visiting my sister Amber in Kalispell Montana we got to see a lot of the areas around their town. One of the days we went to White Fish and rode on the Alpine slides.

Aunt Amber and Callison.

Grandma and McKayla

Me and Lincoln

And then riding the chair lft back up the mountain. Is was a lot of fun. It's so beautiful everywhere there.

So many lakes around there.

Eating at a yummy BBQ place.

We went Camping in Glacier National Park. We saw one black bear walk right in front of our car and then down the road next to us. We went on a hike up on top of the mountains and I forgot my camera which was a shame since we saw up close on the trail, wild mountain goats, a herd of Big horn Sheep and lots of other wild life.

We did a little happy birthday celebration with the cousins.
