We Are Moving!


This weekend is moving weekend for us. I FINALLY got the keys to our new house. It seems like we have said we are moving for almost three months now. Oh wait it has been three months. Oh well. It is worth it. It is warm out but at least it is not summer. I am so excited and can't wait to get settled. All the house needs is a little TLC and she will be ready for move in. We are sad to leave but excited for more space. Here is the first picture of the new house.

Happy Anniversary

Today is our 5th anniversary and what do we get to do but celebrate it like an old married couple at the ward party. We did get to go out on a date on Thursday when our free babysitters could baby sit and it was really nice to get to spend time with each other and actually talk and have a conversation with out interruption. I had to go into town this morning to get my hair done and Colton actually took all the kids to the store to get me five things that I liked including a card and roses. I can't believe he took all the kids somewhere in public by himself. I don't think that has ever happend. That's when you know it must be special. I just can't believe it has been five years already. Colton is a great father and husband. He is so willing to do whatever it takes to take care of his family and I love that about him. I am so grateful for him and just don't know what I would do without him. I wish I had some old wedding pics but they are packed up in a box in the garage and I am not digging for them sorry. But here are pics from the halloween party. Happy Anniversary Colton!


Mason was Batman!


Ashton was spiderman and Brinley was the cutest Ravens cheerleader ever!


All three.


This is Ashton after I told him NO MORE CANDY! After every person gave them candy they thought they had to eat it. They just didn't get it that it is suppose to last until Christmas.


Brinley wanted like five more suckers. NO MORE!
