Death Valley

We followed dad out to another Death Valley business trip. While he worked we played.

These crazy kids love the sand dunes. What kid doesn't love a giant sand box.

 Hiking around on Rio Tinto property looking for addits.

Badwater Basin the Lowest point in North America at -282 feet below sea level. The kids were not impressed. All they wanted to do was go back to the pool and swim. Luckily TLex let me snap a picture.

Growing-up Fast Around Here

Ash begged dad to teach him how to mow the lawn. One day he will learn to regret that decision once lawn mowing becomes his chore.

My Funny Valentine

I couldn't resist posting these pictures as my boys are so cute!

Honorary Commander

Nate has the Honor and privilege of being one of the 

Honorary Commanders at Edwards Airfare Base. This allows our family to have a year pass to the Air Force base and then Nate and I will be invited to events throughout the year where different departments on the base will show off how cool they are. I have heard that they have put on some amazing show and tells for the Honorary Commanders. I can't wait!

Here he is with the the Brigadier General over Edwards Air Force Base

Christmas in Utah

This year we decided to surprise our families for Christmas. We called Grandpa Brad and Grandma Maralee and asked if we could stay with them. This was such a good idea because we got into town two days before Christmas, so we had two days with them all to ourselves. No one else could compete for our time because no else knew we were in town. Smart thinking!

We watched movies, went swimming, ate a lot, went sledding, and even went to see the lights at Temple Square. Thanks for the good times and a wonderful place to crash Grandpa, Grandma, and Alisha. We sure do love you!
