Christmas!!!

I don't know about you guys, but we're sure excited for Christmas. Our decorations are up and our tree is beautiful. Christmas is coming up so fast. I can't believe another year is gone. One new year resolution is to post on here more and take more pictures. We need to fix the camera and then we can take more pictures for this blog. I've been slacking. 

I hope you all have a good holiday break and enjoy the end of 2008!!!

Merry Christmas!!! Happy New Year!!!

NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!

Sorry it's been a while since we've posted this, but we've had a crazy life lately. We found a house!!!!!!! It does have a pool if your wondering. It has a large backyard, but a ton of cacti. We have 2 of the ugliest ones in our front yard. It's just a rock yard too. The backyard has about 20-25 cacti, I'm not exaggerating. I counted about 19 from our window and I couldn't see all of them. It's a really nice house with a huge kitchen. We have a lot of counter space. There are 4 bedrooms and a loft. There's 2 family areas, one will have the pianos in it though. When we take pictures of our house we'll put some pictures on it. 

    The other night we were talking about why we don't drink coffee and Bryan asked, "Does coffee make you cough?"

    Jacob had a game last night and he pitched!!! He is an awesome baseball player. He is so good and just loves it. He watches the D-backs game every night. 

Labor day weekend!

   On Sunday, August 31 we went up to Payson and spent the day. We brought our dog with us. We had the best time. It was so relaxing and fun. There was a little creek that had water from all the rain and we went and skipped rocks. Chase went swimming and tried to catch the rocks we were skipping. Dave skipped a rock 8 times!!!! 

    The weather up there was wonderful. It was about 70 degrees all day. Everyone had so much fun and were sad to go.

little history

  We lived in Utah for 3 and a half years and loved it. We lived in the best neighborhood we could have asked for. This winter was a blast. It snowed 2 ft. at one time!!! We had fun sledding and snowmobiling. Snowball fights were common. 

  After selling our house in Utah we moved to AZ (Phoenix area) and are living with Dave's parents at the time. Dave got a job with Amazon and Autum got a job at Mesquite Elementary as the music teacher, and will teach a class at the community college. 

  We are in the process of finding a house.

  We miss Utah and enjoyed our friends, family, neighborhood, and we really miss the wonderful weather, and the BEAUTIFUL mountains.
