family pictures








My sister has been here from Denver for the past week and a half and we have had a fun time with them here. We have had a lot of girl time...scrapbooking, going to the pool (more than once), lunches, shopping, giving each other manicures and pedicures, and she took our family pictures too! Thanks Teri they turned out great!


Fun with our cousins

fun on the slides!

It's official!

Well we are now going to be natives of Springfield Missouri. Schon was offered the job of opening a new school for his company there. We all have a few mixed emotions as we hate to leave our wonderful friends here, but are excited to see what new adventures await us! Congratulations Daddy! We are so proud of you!

Springfield Missouri

This weekend we took a trip to Springfield Missouri (which soon could be our new home)!Schon is in the process of interviewing for the Director of a new school that his company is opening in the fall. We went down to check out the city and we found this National park. Wilson's Creek National Battlefield. This was where one of the first battles of the Civil War took place! It was so interesting to learn about the civil war and Springfield looks like a great place to live! We will keep you all updated as soon as we know what is going to happen!

West Valley Police Day @ Lagoon




A great day @ Lagoon with Randy and Alex. Sponsered by the West Valley Police Dept. Alex was all over the rides, lights, and noise. One more year and he can ride like crazy. Grandma and Grandpa had a wonderful time. Wished the other two Grandsons, Brandon & Jordie, could have been here with us.

We had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa visiting us this weekend. We went to the Air and Space Museum, we got to meet an astronaut Brian Duffy, and to hit Golf Balls at the driving range with our new clubs that we got for our birthdays. We loved hanging out and eating out too! Thanks for coming Grandma and Grandpa!
