A couple of weeks ago Elder Eliason (Erik)one of our missionaries from the time our family served in the Pioneer Park Ward, and his wife stayed with us for a few days. They had planned a trip out to visit his mission and all the faithful members. The kids were excited to see him again! It was fun to get to know Carissa, we are both expecting boys around the same time! It's neat to have this relationship continue now with his new family. We had a wonderful time with them!

I found this cute picture of Elder Eliason and Elder Harper a couple of years ago. We were lucky enough to have them over for Christmas Eve. That is a special memory for our kids. I am grateful for our experience in the Pioneer Park Ward and all the relationships we formed during our time there.

It's a BOY!

We had our ultrasound and as suspected we are having a baby Boy! We are thrilled! I had written in my journal early on I felt it was a boy, it was an emotional moment to have those feelings confirmed. The miracle of these little babies is a testimony of how much Heavenly Father loves each one of us. We have felt for a while there was another little spirit in heaven. We are humbled and grateful to welcome another one of these precious little ones into our family.

Happy Birthday McKay!

McKay decided for his 10th Birthday instead of having a party he wanted to spend the day in Disneyland with the whole family, I was just fine with that! I cherish the time we spend together as a family. There is no where else I'd rather be than with them. These kids have so much fun together! We had many laughs and entertaining moments mostly provided by this little man!

Happy 10th Birthday McKay! We love you!

McKay chose Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney for his Birthday dinner!

BIEBER FEVER!!!

What more could a girl want for her 12th Birthday than going to the Justin Bieber concert!!!! The timing was perfect last summer when we went to Utah around Taia's Birthday he was in concert so that's what she wanted for her gift. We had such a fun girls night out going to dinner than jammin' to the CD on the way to the concert! We definitely have Bieber Fever over here!

Fantastic seats! I must admit I really enjoyed the concert too :)

Celebrating at CPK!

It was quite an eventful summer. We said goodbye to grandma and grandpa as they left for their mission to Russia for the second time. It was an emotional day for everyone when we took them to the airport. We have loved living by them for the last 6 years and miss them dearly!!!

Below are a few cute pictures from the airport the first time they left for their mission in 2001.
