Utah Splash pad

We finally found a way to keep cool here in St. George...Splash pads. This particular pad has a really cool waterfall and river for the kids to play in. The splash pad itself is still a little overwhelming for Andrew.

Home Sweet Home

Hello all. We finally made it to Utah. Phillip's parents flew out to help us get settled and let me tell you we would still be in boxes without them. Thank you Doc and Gran. Our house is slowly beginning to feel like a home. Everyday we get a little more organized and settled into a routine.

We've even met a lot of our neighbors. It turns out that not everyone in Utah is LDS...thank goodness. I'm still getting the hang of this blogging thing, so my pictures are out of order. The picture above is the inside of our new home. To the Right is the view from the front of our house and below is the house itself.

I diligently tried to add a video of the house to our blog without any luck. Apparently the file size was too large. I'll try again later this week. We miss you all and are so glad to hear from everyone.

Our new address here in Utah is 191W 685S, Ivins, UT 84738. My phone number is the same but will be changing soon. Check back here in a few weeks and I should have the new one posted.

South Mountain Creamery

Just before our move to Utah, Andrew and I visited a local creamery with some of our friends from the Little Gym. Andrew and Makenzie checked out the cows before it was time to feed them.













We all had such a wonderful time at the creamery. Andrew even pointed to the cows and said "moo". He also pointed to the tractors and said "tractor".

National Zoo

Our time in Maryland was a lot shorter than we had hoped for. There were so many places we wanted to see and things we wanted to do. As always though, time flies by and you onle get to do a few. One really fun thing we squeezed in last minute was a trim to the National Zoo in DC. Aunt Mendi met up with us and we really enjoyed watching Andrew take in all the animals.

Baby Madeline

Welcome our new neice to the world...Baby Madeline. My big brother Brent and his lovely wife Veronica just had a beautiful baby girl. Everyone is home and doing well. We haven't met her yet but are hoping to soon.

Martin's in Corolla

Andrew had a great time playing in the sand. He didn't like the waves so much, that is until Cousin Hannah showed him how fun they could be. After that we could barely keep up with him.


Phillip's older brother, Steve, talked all of into doing the khaki and white beach photos. It was tough to get George and Andrew facing the camera at the same time. The photos were worth the effort, though.





The house we stayed in at Corolla had a pool out back, saving us from lugging to the beach everyday. The fun thing we discovered is that George is a water dog at heart. Who knew?
