Nathan turns 6! Happy Birthday to a special boy...

It was all about Stars Wars this year for Nathan...

We had the young Jedi's come for training camp complete with a visit from the enemy

Darth Vader!
Nathan is over the top about Star Wars, he thinks about is all the time! During church he leans over to ask us questions about Star Wars at bedtime we get question and he dreams about it most nights.

Special Birthday breakfast at McDonald's!

School Party... Root beer floats with Vanilla ice cream (Nathan's Favorite)

So in charge and a proud moment for him as his class sang him Happy Birthday!

Nathan we love you. You have a very tender heart and are so kind. Your teacher says you are a peacemaker and always willing to help. Your smile is so sweet. Many people comment and say it is the cutest smile around! Thank you for blessing are life with your amazing spirit!

We love you forever.

Plans for the Future...

This was going to be our new home...

Medford Oregon!

We were very excited about living here and were looking forward to moving there with great friends the "Sykes" and living in a beautiful new place. BUT...

Two days before we were going to put the contract in the mail to accept this job in Oregon, a job offer from Utah came to us-which we were not seeking out at that point. The offer in Utah was to work at Utah Valley Regional Center in Provo UT. This is one of the few hospitals Jeff would of work for if offered a job back in January when he went out looking. They told us that they had no positions. We were ok with not going back to Utah and quite looking forward to this new adventure.

This decision to go back to Utah was a very hard one but after a few weeks of stress, praying and fasting with these 2 choices before us, we decided to give Utah a try. We are excited that we had a choice and are looking forward to seeing our family more that 2 times a year! Most of all we are excited that we never have to spend money visiting the good old state of Utah anymore. May be we will finally be able to take a vacation to somewhere other than Utah!!!

I am really proud of Jeffrey and all he has accomplished. After this decision was made and often wondering if we made the right decision -I have had to rely on my faith that the Lord is guiding our family as he always has.

OFF TO PROVO UTAH INSTEAD.... WISH US LUCK!

My Grandma Ione...

She is one of my favorite people. She taught me many wonderful things, she is a wonderful friend and support. She always did everything for her grand kids. Grandpa's been gone a year and she is adjusting to life OK. She misses him everyday.

Sledding at the Farm...

My girl is amazing, she would go down this super hill going at least 10 miles an hour. She wanted to go over and over again.

YOU GO GIRL!!!

Nathan and Uncle Rory

Annie was so possessive of the snow tube. She would not share. She went down this steep hill all day long.

Nathan got pretty good at driving this little snow scoot!

Annie and Mom up at Alta. She was not so sure she was going to like skiing. But she got the hang of it and liked it. She did really well.
