Catching Up!

We have had many important events happen in our life since getting back from our cruise and so I thought I had better blog them all in this one post since it has taken this long to even get it all down.

First we had Austin's 11th birthday. I can't believe my baby is already 11! That means no more cub scouts,pack meetings, and etc. that goes along with that, almost out of Primary and moving into the Middle school/ Jr. High age! Does it also mean I am getting old? I don't feel old!
Here are some pictures of his party:
First he opened presents from us at home on the day of his Bday (Jan. 21st).

Then on Friday he wanted to go bowling for his party with friends.


We opened presents, two of Austin's best friends gave him a surprise barbie doll! Eww!Yuk!
We had birthday cake:


After the party we went out to dinner to celebrate his and Jason's birthday;

Notice you don't see Jason wearing the Sombrero!
Another happening is at the first of the year the wards in our Stake were split and we had another ward added. That means new callings. We were put in the new 5th ward and I was released from Stake Primary and put into our Ward Primary. Jason was released from YM's Presidency and put into the Elders Quorum Presidency. One of the first things we did as a new Primary Presidency was hold our Quarterly Primary Activity. A "get to know you, Love One Another" activity:


I have found that my Stake calling was really laid back and relaxing compared to this new calling!
The following Monday I took Nik and Austing to Utah for an Orthodontics appointment. Nik had braces put on:

He is our third child to have braces put on. (Just for the record; they do not get it from me!) Austin is scheduled to get his on in 6 months, maybe!
Of course our lives are full of other happenings, but these are some of the most important that we wanted to share! Have a Good Day!
