I love this view. This is what we see when we look out our back windows. It is also the reason I spend as little time as possible in the city. When I have to leave it annoys me. It's like leaving your vacation early. Also, I buy like crazy when I'm at the grocery store so I don't have to go as often. Maybe the newness of this place will wear off but for now, I feel like we live in a storybook.


Darren has a new hobby! He spent the weekend mowing the pasture around our house. I would look out the window and he would be driving it with a big smile on his face. He also let the kids take turns riding with them.... we're such country folk now.

Connor made his debut at church today. He's 5 weeks old and I finally (after serious pressure) decided it was time to start going again. We got to church - on time but without Connors shoes and socks on him. Darren put his socks on and Connor smiled like crazy. This was his first time wearing socks and he seemed to like it... that or he has really tickelish feet. Sweet baby.




Connor at 5 weeks and 14 lbs. I'm actually going to talk to the doctor about his massive weight gain. I'm pretty sure we're not slipping sterroids in his formula.



Last but not least... crazy Chelsea. This is quite the dress up costume she put together. I think it was probably a little hot but she suffered through. She loves to play and keep us entertained. Today at church she asked when she was supposed to go up and sing for everyone. Ever since the primary Christmas program she thinks it's her job to perform every sunday for the ward. She would if we let her that's for sure.
