A little discovery...

Congratulations to Emily who is engaged to be married to wonderful Ben Wright on April 23rd in the Timpanogas Temple.
Andrew got some choo choo trains he was pretty excited about! He sees choo choos where ever he goes. It is cute, but sometimes as parents we feel bad and don't know when we should let him know that certain things aren't really choo choos. SHould we teach him, or let him live in a blissful world of choo choos everywhere?

When we got back home from Utah, we got to spend some time with Abby's brother, Aaron and his family. Spencery and Andrew had a great time playing choo choo's and watching the coo coo clock. Their little Joshua was just 3 months old, and such a doll!

It was great spending time with James' parents! We are excited to see them in a few months after our baby is born. They have loved serving in the MTC, but are happy now to be visiting all 9 of their children.

Andrew loved playing Joseph in the nativity (for the second time)

Christmas was delightful! It was especially fun to spend time with Sarah, Abby's sister, and her family. Andrew loved playing with Nathan and Eva.

December w/ Nathan and Julia

Nathan and Julia and family were SO sweet to take us under their wings for a few weeks while James did a clinical rotation in Cedar City, UT. Andrew LOVED playing with Brooklyn and Courtney.

We were able to celebrate our 3 year Anniversary (without Andrew!) in magestic Zion National Park. It has just snowed about 10 inches, and was breathtaking. We went on a few little hikes, and stayed at a Bed and Breakfast. We were SO grateful to Nathan and Julia for watching Andrew so we could enjoy some couple time. :) Above is Court of the Patriarchs.

This is Weeping Rock

Angel's Landing

It was special to reinacte the nativity with little Andrew. He loved baby Jesus. Luckily, we had two, so both Andrew and Courtney could be Mary. :)

The children loved visiting the St. George temple. An hour we got back, they were building with blocks. Andrew suddenly got a look of epiphany on his face, and said, "Temple! Temple!" So, now whenever he builds a tower with his blocks, he calls it a temple.

Sister Hannah Hill

Hannah, my dear sister, is leaving tomorrow, Feb. 2nd, to the Czech Republic mission! She is such a good example to all of us, and I love her so much. We are excited for her to preach the gospel.
