Laura's Birthday

A fun time at the park in our new neighborhood.

Demolitions

The new covered deck being built. But really the fun part here is seeing the whole Wasatch mountain range from our back yard, and seeing how many rocks "grew up" on our property. One reason it took so long to build the new house was the blasting. Our quarter acre just happened to be nestled into solid rock, so they got a demolitions crew up here to help excavate. Most of the rocks they blew out of the ground stayed around as retaining walls.

Fantastic Builders

Future engineers and architects.

After a long hiatus, we're back. The past year has seen us finish the basement to our old house, prep and sell that house, and then build and move into our new place (a whole mile away, I know, how adventurous). The new house got its basement done as an apartment where the Ellefsons now live. It has been a busy year and a half, and it finally seems to be calming down a little, so we'll start getting pictures up regularly. Pictured here, the kids check out the unfinished basement in the new house.

Four generations. Not many Y chromosomes.

Hi family! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Gradma Julie, Grandpa Dave and Great-Grandma Lil all came to see us (but mostly Katelyn) for the holidays.

Let the dressing-up begin!

Here's lookin' at you Katie.

Laura got loads of dress up outfits for Christmas, and it wasn't all pretty-princess dresses either.

Matt & Steph up in Park City (won a weekend at a gorgeous condo through work). The Robins came along too, but they are on the wrong side of the camera. 

Snow day!

Our first big snow day, Nikki loves it.
