Kinbree gets a Haircut!



"What have you done?"...




I can't believe how long it was. It just needed a healthy trim, so we did it. (I say we because Karissa was here and was the main encourager. Thanks!) She looks more here age now, not 16 like she acts! So CUTE!!

Kinbree actually cried when I made the first snip. Sad. It almost made me cry...until about a minute later when she freaked out because I wasn't cutting it like Masons. Oh, the joys of our very dramatic daughter. She still says everyday that when she is a boy , or when she is big like Dad she is going to get a hair cut like him! (She really does like it, just wants to be like her papa!) Lets just hope she changes her mind in the near future. I guess all I will have to do is show her a picture of when I got a boy hair cut! GAG! None the less, we still love her and all the drama she brings :).

Going Back

It's been a whirlwind of a summer with some special and Fabulous times. GramE came up for a few weeks to help out after Anson was born. We are so grateful for her help. She pretty much packed our house, and kept the kids well entertained. A week before we moved, Richard and his family came from Minnesota, and Nicole and her family and GramE came up and we all met at our house. They were only here for a day, but it was great seeing everyone again.

The cousins who came to meet Anson!

Our last Sunday in Rexburg we were able to bless Anson. Most of Chances family was there and GramE and Karissa. It was a special and tender day. It was hard to say goodbye to our awesome ward and Bishop. We are so grateful for our bishop, Bishop Simpson, and the wonderful man that he is and all that he taught us.
After all the fun, we packed and cleaned and packed and cleaned... kind of. We did go to the sand dunes a few times with the Freeman's for some fun in between all the packing. We just couldn't let those precious last few days in Rexburg be spent doing unfun things. Oh, how we loved our Rexburg days! Thanks so much to Eraleigh, Timmerie, Grandma Rima and Karissa we were able to get everything done. They pretty much cleaned the whole house. We said goodbye to Hillary and Cameron the day before we left and had faith that we would fit everything into our truck after seeing that they were able to make everything fit. Well moving day came, and the truck was packed to the MAX. We said goodbye to all of our great friends and family and started the trip to Spokane. Karissa came along and drove with me in the car while Chance drove the truck with one of the kids. We stopped for the night with Mike and Richelle, it was a nice break from all the moving. When we arrived in Spokane we were greeted by a moving crew and Aubry! We are so grateful for all of her help. We loved the last few years, but are excited for the adventures ahead. Pfeww. What a month!

...






Life has been crazy lately. We made it to Spokane and have been here for 2 weeks now. The first week we got settled, and now we have just been exploring, thrifting:)and hanging out...watching care bears, having sword fights, ya know, the works! It is beautiful as everyone says. We really have come to like it here, but of course we miss Rexburg. I don't think there is anywhere in the world quite like Rexburg. We're enjoying our spacious apartment, especially the pool. We have even had visitors already! That's it for now folks.
