It has been seven months since I've posted, so I'm just going to share some highlights about what's been going on with us...

We've moved to Provo, Utah. Tim got a job teaching Spanish at a charter school in Springville, and I'm going to start back at BYU in the fall. It feels like we've come full circle back to where we started when we first got married almost 11 years ago... Annie just had her 10th birthday, and she was born in Provo (we moved back to cali when she was 6 months old).

Anyway, we are enjoying our summer, doing "Utah" things like attending the Manti temple pagent.

While we are thoroughly enjoying all of the space we now have, we miss things back home. Afton especially misses Grandma and Nana.

I'm enjoying cooking again (I love my kitchen:) This is my new favorite recipe...a strawberry almond cream tart. Yum!

This is our house which we get to rent for a song. 4bd 2 1/2ba, a play room (that has doors that shut), and tons of yard. Love it!

I feel like I've only scratched the surface of what has been going on. But everyone is doing well. We have only been here a month, but we miss our Folsom friends and family in California already. We have lots of room for guests!!

happy new year...photo dump '09

christmas eve jammies

"a wittle book that's mine!"

what movie did we get?

a new princess dress

a toy that makes tuck utterly happy and mom and dad utterly annoyed

he likes to push buttons

this is after christmas hotel-living (and me trying to minimize the breakfast mess with no high chair).

this is all that remains from the after christmas girls' trip. breakfast was the highlight as usual.

oh yeah, i have a blog

i thought it was time for a new post. we've been so busy, and having so much fun. and we took some family photos at thanksgiving time, when everyone was together.it's the first time i've LOVED a photo of myself. thanks to my friend jennifer for making me and tim look good:) i'd love to go on...i have some other fun photos to upload, but i cannot access them now. i promise to soon. merry christmas to everyone!

funny boy

i caught the kids one day playing with annie's music stand. i'm always surprised at the things tucker picks up from his older siblings.

this one's just funny. "fat boy in a little" chair. or should i say a "bitty" chair for afton's bitty baby. he kept trying to sit down when the chair was no where near his bottom.

these are especially for aunt maci to enjoy:) v

the party fit for a princess

for about six months afton was planning a princess party for her 3rd birthday. i wasn't going to throw a party, but she gave me no choice in the matter. she is completly obsessed with sleeping beauty.

the grand entrance

the other princesses who attended the fancy luncheon

the fancy table (chair covers for three year olds? am i insane??)

jumping princesses

the look on afton's face here made it all worth it

sugar overload

i think the reason i never crave snickers and m&ms is because i eat so much that one night in october to last the rest of the year. tim makes a cute cow, no?

this tin man was at the pumpkin patch we went to at apple hill. can we get a photo where everyone is looking at the camera please??
