Our Little Utah Girl

Logan and Lyla love to be together. Logan can make Lyla laugh harder than anyone else can. I can only hope that they still love to play together this much in the coming years!

Look at all the eggs we found!

There's a car in my egg! Thanks Grandma!

Cousins

Logan and Jaleigh paying on the couch. They like to copy each other.


Elena, pretending to be a dog, crawled out to the family room with the laundry basket on top of her. Logan saw that basket and said, Hey, that looks like a good place to sit! And he did! Luckily, Elena played along and had fun with the game.

Sweet Sleeping Liam. Aren't they precious when they're sound asleep?

Elena, Logan, Lyla

Elena wanted to share the flowers with Lyla and helped her hold them. Lyla is very happy to have the attention. She watches the big kids play and can't wait to jump up and join them.

Playing in the snow

On Saturday morning we got a lot of snow here in Kaysville, so Sean and Logan went out in the afternoon to try and build a snowman. The snow wasn't good packing snow so this is as big as they could get their snow ball. They had fun any way!
On Tuesday, we got a lot more snow, about another 8 inches. Then the sun came out today and it was a beautiful day for playing in the snow. Sean and Logan went back out to finish their snowman. They had a lot more success this time.

This is the finished snowman. We are so happy to have a yard here so we can go outside and play!

It was warm enough today to take Lyla outside with Logan for her first winter. We'll leave the playing in the snow to Logan 'till next year!

All By Myself

Logan was so excited to go out and play in the snow so he got his boots and coat to put on. He was very proud of himself for getting dressed all by himself.

So the boots are on the wrong feet and the coat is upside down, but he did it all by himself just the same!

Winter Weather

Winter in Sacramento, CA

Winter in Kaysville, UT

This was Logan's first time playing in the snow. He had tons of fun! This is what winter should look like!

Well we have made it back home to Utah safely. Leaving California we have had mixed feelings. While a lot of our experience had to do with the unique problems in California we also had a beacon of light while we were there. we felt very sad to leave such wonderful friends and ward members that we able to share and spend time with. All of these experiences helped me to have a greater appreciation for family and the gospel of Jesus Christ. It also made me realize that we should blossom where we are planted and lift where we stand. Thank you to all of you who we were able to learn and grow with in Sacramento. We will be forever touched by your friendship and remember the lessons which you have helped to teach us. Our house is always open to good friends. Thank you all.
