Update!

At last I have gotten around to doing a post! We didn't have internet for the last 2 months so that may have something to do with it. We have had a busy last couple months, we moved into a house 3 days before Christmas which has been wonderful! So we have just been busy getting settled and enjoying being here in Utah. 

Kayla is almost 3 and that is a little crazy for me to think but she is as wonderful as ever. The older she gets the more I realize what a special girl she is. She is sooo sweet to other children and of course Mercedes and is an angel for Gabe and I as well. 

She is in gymnastics and preschool and can not get enough of them. Once she turns 3 there are alot more options for things to do so I am excited for that. 

Mercedes is getting so big! She is almost 5 months and the exact opposite of Kayla. She is a momma's girl, a great nurser, a not so great sleeper and doesn't like the binky. But they just love each other and I love seeing them together. 

We are in Utah for another couple of months and then we are off to northern Alberta! It will be bittersweet, I am excited to be close to Calgary so I can visit during the summer but there will not be a ton to do. But luckily we will have fun people with us so we will have a blast anyway!

Blessing Day

So we blessed Mercedes a little over a week ago. 

Always a special day

The weather has been absolutely amazing!

Reflections of Christ

I am sure that most of you have seen the Reflections of Christ slideshow or at least some of the pictures from it, but for those of you that have not, check out it out here. The exhibit of all the pictures is at the Joseph Smith Memorial building right now so Adeline and I went to see it yesterday, the photography is unbelievable and it is a very moving slideshow! Enjoy!

Halloween

We had a great halloween this year! We went to Cornbelly's pumpkin fest on Thursday at Thanksgiving point and it was great! Kayla just loved it and the weather has been fantastic, 20 degrees everyday! Even the 31st got up to 18 degrees, by far the warmest halloween I have ever experienced.

For Halloween in the afternoon we went to Gabe's office at Pinnacle to go trick or treating and their building is huge so Kayla got hooked up with candy! She got more there than trick or treating in the evening! Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I have no pictures of that.

Blurry Mercedes in her halloween costume! Everyone thought she was a boy!

I am sad I didn't take more pictures of Kayla in her costume! 

Photoshoot

My sister-in-law Charity took some pictures of Mercedes at 4 weeks old and I love them! Here are a few!
