Thanksgiving in Payson

This year we had a sibling style Thanksgiving in Payson with Jake's sisters and families. Funnily enough I did not manage to get any pictures of the meal, but did get a few of all playing and having fun.

The Big Birthday Party

This year Micah's birthday party was held at the Summit Gymnastics Academy in Flagstaff. Considering our housing circumstances right now we decided it would be best to host the party "on location". The party was an absolute blast and Micah LOVED the chance to be with so many of his friends!

Micah turns 5!!!

Happy Birthday to our first born! We cannot believe that he is 5 already. Time goes incredibly fast!

Here are some pictures from the morning of his birthday, opening presents before heading to school...

A flutophone!

And one more after returning home from school in his birthday crown!

The Nursery

I have been meaning to post pictures of Karlynn's nursery on the blog for quite some time (I put them on FB months ago). Karlynn only got to enjoy the nursery for diaper changes and rocking for her first two weeks - prior to the tornado - and never even slept in the crib. :-(

Anyway, here are pics that we took of the "nursery in progress" in July of this summer. No worries, we will recreate it and this time professionals get to paint it!
