Flashback...

I finally got around to downloading the pics on my camera today and found a lot that I had totally forgotten about. So, I thought I'd have a flashback post since a lot of these things happened quite a while ago and apologies for the lenght of this post. This is why I need to post a lot more often.

Back in March Gordon's dad, step-mom and sister came down from WA for his nephew's baptism. Here are a few pics from the week they were here:







Before we left for AR we had our first movie night with Tyler and discovered just how much he loves POPCORN!! He just can't get enough of it. We had the Dunaways over to join in the fun and it was a blast to have them over!





And here are a few I found of Tyler that just put a smile on my face. It's been so fun to see his personality come out even more the last little while.





(I actually took that last one today. This is probably his favorite spot here in our apartment. I don't know why he loves it over there so much. I do usually move the garbage can, but both he and Josh just hang out over there and play. Silly boys!!)

Still Kickin'!

I was catching up on blogs after being disconnected from the world for the last 2 weeks and realized I haven't posted since February. I guess it's time we let everyone know we're still alive. Here are a few highlights from the last little while:

- We moved to Arkansas. So far it's treating us good and it's nice to actually get some warmer weather after our Utah snow.

- Our biggest accomplishment in the last week? Surviving the 3-day drive out to AR. We were so excited to finally be done driving and trying to entertain 2 boys in a confined car. Needless to say, I think we'll be flying home at the end of the summer...

- Tyler turned 18-months-old and can now officially attend Nursery. With the move and all the changes, I figured I'd give him a few weeks before we give that a go, but I'm hoping he'll like the change in scenery at church. Any suggestions for making that an easy transition?

Other than our move, not too much has been going on lately. I have some big plans to paint lots this summer so I hope I'll be able to post some new pieces when I get them done. I also want to send a HUGE thankyou to my Mom who helped us make the trip out. We really could not have done it without her. She's always so good to keep us sane when we're ready to pull our hair out and her optimism was priceless after the long days we had. We are so grateful for her willingness to sacrifice a week to help us drive and drive and drive and then unpack on top of that. You're the best, Mom, and we miss you a ton already!!
