And their Super Daddy!
He filled our whole fire box that day. What a kid.
Always wants his picture taken. Excuse the messy house. I'm having fun with my kids.

She's Seven!
Boy, does seven sound old to me. Our baby girl is seven! We love you, our fun and crazy Brin!
This day was a special one, but also a tragic one. We lost our dear friend and family member, Robert M. Clark on this day. I still am in shock over the whole thing. We will always miss him terribly.

Draper Temple Open House
We had a very special day visiting this awesome building! Being there with our cousin Trae made it extra special!

Hello Idaho...
Reading by the fire...
Great Snowman Snow (a few weeks ago...)
He looks great in pink snowpants, don't you think? Forgive me, Nathan! You have a few feminine hand me downs!
The awesome crew who welcomed us to Lava, hauled in our stuff, got us settled, and even fed us! We love you, family!
Lava Hot Springs is a beautiful little town situated along a river. We can hear the river from our bedroom window--very soothing! It's the kind of town where you can walk anywhere (The boys and I walked to the library the other day-- it was great). There are obviously hot springs here, and they are awesome to soak in. The pool complex is adding another slide this year, so that is fun.
We are excited to be here. And our kids are glad to be closer to cousins and grandparents.
Our congregation here is quite mature. I looked around at church today and saw quite a few sweet old ladies sitting alone. So I'm sure there will be some neat opportunities there to see what they need. When I lived with my Grandma in Logan while attending USU, I saw a widow's life first hand. She loved visits, offers for rides, someone to read the things she couldn't see, etc. So, I hope we can help someone here.
There is so much work to be done on the campground here-- but we feel that with help from above we can make it a special place to come, and fun! We have converted it to a KOA, and the reservations have really been coming in, so that is great.
My challenge is to not worry too much about the business and just enjoy these babies of ours. I wish time would stand still sometimes! I look at old pictures of them with their chubby cheeks and just cry...
But it is fun when they get old enough to carry on somewhat intelligent conversations.

Goodbye to Great Falls....
Even though Great Falls had the following set backs:
22 Casinos on the main drag
Living in a tiny place
Mud out our front door
The wind!
We will miss it.
We met so many awesome people there, who we will remember forever!
We are grateful for the experiences the Lord gives us in this life. He truly knows the beginning from the end, and what we need in order to progress. We needed to be in Great Falls to prepare us for things we would do in our future business, but we also needed to be in Great Falls so that we could learn the lessons in discipleship Heavenly Father wanted to teach us at that time. Thanks to all our wonderful friends there for showing us the way to be!
We are also grateful for:
Being a part of a military community and learning of the sacrifices that are made for us every day by the armed forces and their families.
Super teachers and curriculum for the kids!
Getting to know the great Canadians, eh?
The waterpark at the campground and the gorgeous flowers.
Having a boss who taught us a lot about hard work and focus. (even though sometimes it was a little bit much...)
We're glad to be where we are and glad to be where we've been!
