We're Back

So sorry for the delay in posting. So much has gone on the last little while in our family and it was time for us to take a little break from something and it just happened that our blog was the one that took the break.

First ... We moved! Yep, we live back in Highland Utah. I will have to post pictures later when I actually take pictures of the outside of the house. We are just renting for the time being until we are a little more sure of our situation.

Adam has been working a lot but loves spending any extra time with his two boys! For a few weeks after moving he commuted back and forth from highland to Page (5 1/2 hours one way) and now finally is here permanently! He finished the resort in Southern Utah and is now on the City Creek project in Salt Lake city. He is building an 11 story tower and over Quality control. The job responsibilities are very different than what he was doing on the resort, and the commute isn't what you would call ideal, but he seems to be enjoying something new. This building will be finished sometime early next year. He is applying to University of Utah to work on an MBA starting next fall. We are waiting back to hear and hope our plan for him to continue working for Okland construction and go to school will work out.

Mandy is still adjusting the whole "two kid" thing. Two this close together in age has been challenging, but also has been really fun. She is still working for American Crafts designing class projects and samples, as well as working for Creating Keepsakes Magazine writing articles and contributing samples pages. Most of you are aware, but she has been struggling with some health issues. She has been diagnosed with a disease called NMO. So far the only effect has been the complete loss of eye site in her right eye. She is hoping nothing else will occur, but we are just living each day to it's fullest and trying to get through this trial the best we can.

Bryson is just becoming our little man. He was a Chef for Halloween and was known as our little "Pepe". Most 20 month old kids would squirm tear off a hat of any sort. Bryson is the exception. He LOVED the chef hat. He also loved trick-or-treating with his cousin Jace. He is finally starting to say a new word every day, and really expresses himself with excitement by saying WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! That means there is either a truck or a dog. He is hysterical and has more personality in his little finger than Adam and Mandy combined! He got his first REAL salon hair cut and looks so handsome!

Chad is now almost 6 months! Can you believe how time flies? He has been such a happy baby and slept through the night at 8 weeks. He now plays with toys and loves to smile at Bryson when he isn't being attacked. We're waiting for him to roll over anytime. He was a lobster for Halloween and was the cutest lobster you have ever seen.

There is so much more that we have done in the past few months but thought we would just post the pictures for now. Hope you enjoy them and are doing well!
