Wow, what has happened to the last few months? I wish I had some great excuse for why I haven't had any time to blog, but really I don't. Life is just busy. Here are some of the events that have taken place:
1. We went to Rexburg the beginning of March to welcome home Tyler's brother Jay from his mission in Brazil! It was very fun to see him and hear about the two years he spent teaching the Gospel in Brazil! Tyler is happy to have his brother back and Parker enjoyed getting to know his uncle again. Rylan wasn't so sure about Jay, but I'm sure she'll warm up to him soon.
2. Tyler went to Portland for almost two weeks for an appraisa
l class. We missed him SO much! The kids and I spent the two weeks with the stomach flu and pink eye :( So we were quite relieved to see Tyler walk through that door! In addition to his class, Tyler ran his first 5K up in Seattle with his brother and sister. I was so proud of him to be motivated enough to go for it. And they all did great!
3. Tyler and I had our 5 year anniversary!! I can't believe it has been five years. It has gone by so quickly yet I can't seem to remember life before him. We unfortunately did not get to do much celebrating because poor Tyler caught that awful stomach flu as soon as he got home from Portland. I will write more about our 5 years together once we actually get to celebrate!
4. I left Tyler and the kids alone for a whole wee
kend for the very first time! I think we were all a little nervous but Tyler and the kids survived the whole weekend while I went down to Salt Lake with my mom to visit my sister and go to conference. It was a fun trip and it sounds like the kids had so much fun with dad, they hardly even missed me.
So that's all for now... I do plan on posting more often, and hopefully with some exciting things to read about. For now, here are some pictures:
Welcome home Jay!
Ready to Ruuuun!
My kiddos on Valentine's day.

Love.
