FALL

I know I am bad blogger. I missed a summer entry but I am on track for fall.
It seems like it was summer just a week ago and now the nights are getting really cold. This time of year is full of family fun events. We have anniversaries, birthdays and of course holidays.
I will try to update our family picture since most of us have changed.
That is it for now.

SPRING!

I am such a bad blogger. I have been so busy and updating the family blog is pretty low on the list.
Spring is finally here and the weather is warming up and of course it is windy. But it is nice to be outside again. It will be time to plant the garden soon. It looks like we will have another big one this year.
Emma and Brennik came up to visit a few weeks ago and we really enjoyed seeing them and little Brighton, and he isn't so little any more. We just had a great weekend with Hillary, Tyler and Cade visiting for Conference weekend. We love seeing all our family.
Grandma finally had her surgery and is healing quite well. Grandpa has been a great caregiver. Hopefully she will recover before he wants to escape to Idaho for the summer.
Lane is laid off again and has been putting in job applications everywhere for anything.
I am enjoying my job as the office manager for the solar exchange. (a small office in Taylor). I work 3 days a week, which isn't too bad. Just enough for some extra money but not too much so I don't get things done at home.
Guess I should sign off, I will post some more current pictures soon.

WINTER

Winter hit hard on New Year's Eve. 25 degrees BELOW zero. The next night was better, it was only 14 BELOW. And then came the snow. This is near the end of January and we still have some lingering snow but for the most part it has all melted away. We are all hoping for warmer weather to come soon and stay for awhile.
The family is all doing well. Lane is working here and there, and I am enjoying my job as an office manager at a local Solar office.
Hartley and her family have moved in with us. Lane and I live upstairs and they live downstairs. We love having the girls close by and I think they like being able to run and play outside. Halle and Evve are so crazy and cute. They keep us laughing. I think it is working out quite well, we all have our own space.
Hillary and her family have moved out of grandma's and into a house of their own. It is in a cute little neighborhood in Mesa. Cade loves having a yard to play in.
Emma and her family are still in Queen Creek. Brennik recently graduated from ASU.
Brighton is turning into quite a chunk (such an adorable little, healthy boy).
We have another addition to our family: a goat! His name is Phil. A family in our ward wanted to give him away and we thought it would be great to have someone eat the weeds. He is so cute. He thinks he is a dog, very playful and he and Halle are best buddies. She plays with him nearly every day. I will have to post some pictures.
Guess that is it for now.
