Blessings

Logan recieved the Aaronic Priesthood today. Ellie was baptized recently. We watched as my sister was sealed for eternity to her husband. Visited with grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. Went to "The Happiest Place on Earth". We are so blessed, and so grateful.

Update

Ok, I know it's been a seriously long time since I posted anything, but we've been busy. So here's the quick version: Sam passed away. He was our first dog as a family and we truly miss him. Brent got a job for College of Western Idaho teaching Spanish. CWI is a new community college and, you guessed it, it's in Western Idaho, so.... WE MOVED TO IDAHO!!! Star, Idaho to be exact. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT HERE! Long trip, my parents so graciously helped us move. We arrived just in time for Brent and I to celebrate our 11th anniversary. I got a job for St. Luke's Hospital in Meridian working on the Telemetry Unit, and once in a while helping out in the Critical Care Unit. Kids are in school, a "real" school where children are allowed to talk at lunch time and burn off energy at multiple recesses. There are plenty of class activities, school get togethers, etc. And the best part is, most of their friends from church go to school with them. Logan is in soccer and loving it (as is Brent). Ellie is in soccer now too after deciding dance was not her thing. Avery is in ballet, but wants to play soccer in the fall (I'm trying not to influence her too much toward dance, but she's just so good at it). Update on the Update Brent has been promoted and is now over the Modern Languages department at CWI. I have completed my last day at the hospital and will now be teaching Certified Nurse Assistants for CWI. This enables me to be a mostly Stay-at-Home mom. Love it!!
