South Dakota

We had an opportunity to hop in the car with my parents and go to south dakota and meet up with noel. Turns out Brenda was going and so was Shelly. So it was a huge family gathering all centering around Grammy Phillis. It was a great party. We camped in tents and enjoyed hanging out at the campground. We swam, we laughed and visited, we went on outings to bear world and mt rushmore, we did some hiking and caving, and we even saw some wild donkeys! It was such a cool trip. It was so nice to get together as family and so fun to get to spend time with Gram.

caving! It was freezing...tight squeeze going into bear world, I think we packed 18 in there...the 5th presidential face on the monument :)hiking

:) good times :)

We have arrived...

We made it! Watch out vegas, here we come :) Rich starts med school in a week. We are excited to embark on this new adventure, but have mixed feelings about leaving family behind. At least we are only 6 hours away... Here's a few photos of the new crib and what we've been up to this month.Getting ready to unload! Nate and sarah came over to help with rob and sarah's brother, grateful for their help, it was so hot!All set up :) thanks mom and dad for the new couches! love them!We did some site seeing on the strip, went to the hoover dam, and ate at buffets! Shel and sean came down for a visit as well, loads of fun!We bought new bikes and a carrier for Kai, he does really well in it, we love doing it together :)It was like 115 so we went to lake mead to play in the water, the water was like bath water and wasn't the cleanest... but it was fun non the less!We are embracing the changes!

1st Birthday

Can't believe this sweet baby is 1 already! This year went so fast, he is absolutely precious and so much fun :) He loved his carebear cake that I made him, he was giddy... So fun to watch him experience loads of sugar :)Following the festivities in price, we took the party to the front and did it all over again!
Having 2 separate parties was a lot of work, but it was worth it :) First words at 1 yr are dog, mom, dad, shark, poop (boop), chocolate (cock), vitamin (Babop), drink (babwa), and your favorite words are "Buece" and "Duece" :)

July

We watched fireworks in saratoga this year. Kai was mixed about it, slightly nervous, but he did just fine :)

Family pics

We did some family pics in price, just before we moved. They turned out really cute :)

This one of the boys is hilarious :)

Family pics

Aunt D is living with us while going to school here in price, we went to the park one afternoon to take some family pics. It just so happened that we all had the same matching shirt so we threw them on and had some matchy matchy photos. The turned out super cute, thanks aunt D!
