That's a first!

We've had a lot of changes in our family lately with moving and starting over somewhere new. Along with that, a lot of firsts have happened too. Here's Abbie on her first day of kindergarten:

She also lost her first tooth a few weeks after school started!

The tooth fairy also made another visit to see Porter. He got his first two teeth within a week or two of Abbie losing hers!

Leah started preschool with her cousins


Abbie and Leah both started ballet
Again with their cousins!

Porter thinking about crawling (just thinking, though, not moving yet)I got a new haircut

Our first family picture in our new home
We have also had a lot of visitors in the past few months. My mom was the first to use the guest rooom and the kids loving seeing Grandma again!

Abbie had her 6th birthday! She wanted a My Little Pony cake but I didn't want to fork over the big bucks so I made our own rainbow cake and she loved it!

She got a bunch of My Little Pony stuff so she was happy!

As you can see here

Leah was just happy to wear a hat, eat cake, and get Abbie's hand-me-down toys!

She also loved wearing Abbie's birthday crown and jewelry, we'll be using it again for her 4th birthday next month!

We also made a visit to Temple Square for the first time since moving to Utah. Abbie and Leah loved looking at the huge "castle" (temple) and seeing the brides getting their pictures taken.

Pretty gardens and girls

The whole family by the reflection pool

An awesome picture I took just as we were leaving I loved it so much I changed it to sepia and printed it off in 11x14 to frame. It looks like something you'd find in Deseret Book, right?
Well, as you can tell we've been busy. Thanks for stopping by and hopefully it won't take me three months to update again!

It's so good to hear from you again. I've been thinking about you and wondering how your family is doing. It looks like you have been up to a lot of fun. Your kids are so cute, and I can't believe how big Porter is now. We'll be in UT in Dec, and we'd love to see you guys.
