Before our move to the Midwest

I just found this picture from Hailey's Baptism.  Hailey was baptized by her Dad on January 19, 2013.  We had our favorite people there in body and spirit to support Hailey on her big day when she decided to be baptized.  Melynda, Justin and Brynlee Brunner,  Kendrick, Hailey, Emmie, and Jake Johnson, Bruce and Austie (not in picture but she was there), Eliza, Ryan, Jayden, Grandpa Tom, Grandma Sandra, Uncle Kory, Marianne, and Knight, Grandma Tere and your family, Mia, Mom, Dad and of course Grandpa Dan was there in spirit.

That same weekend we went with the Longenekers to see Hoover Dam.

I couldn't stop laughing during our whole walk across.  Kory was about ready to cry, he was so scared and Grandpa Tom didn't even make it out to the bridge because he was a bit nervous.  I love these people, they make us so happy.

Hailey was and always is our brave girl.  She loved every minute of the adventure.

Marianne, Kory and Knight



Before we made the move, we went with our friends the Johnsons and the Bruners to California.  We went to the beach, Disney Land, and California Adventure.  We will miss the Johnsons like crazy.  We sure do love them.



These girls are the best of buddies.

We found this beautiful semi-private beach.  It was so peaceful a breathtaking.  It was a little peace of heaven with my family and nothing else to worry about.

Fall Excitment





We found this cute cider mill in the town just next to ours.  It was a gem.  We had yummy apple cider, picked pumpkins and had some apples.

The fall is so beautiful here.  We love playing outside, riding bikes on trails, and collecting leaves during this time.  Love, love, love the fall it is breath taking.
