Utah Trip

Can't believe it's taken me this long to post pictures from our Utah trip. We had the most AMAZING time! It was so awesome to be there for Bobby's Graduation. We are SO proud of you Bobby!!

This was Bobby's genius idea, take a ho ho, leave it in the car and let it melt, and then give it to the 2yr old. He also didn't have any wipes in the car. haha AWESOME!

Carter loves to show us how pretty he looks in Addie's dresses! So funny!

Our morning walk to McDonald's to get coffee which Addie informed us would make out stomach black! LOL she was very concerned with about us drinking coffee. Look at how gorgeous it is though!

The Graduate.

We had a special BYU cake made for Bobb'y graduation dinner at Tucanos AKA the best restuarant EVER!

Kirk & I with the Graduate.

Addie & Carter were so proud of their Daddy!

Addie convinced Uncle Kirk to play Pretty Pretty Princess with her and he won!

Our hiking trip. It was so gorgeous I couldn't possibly put it into words. The kids were so fun!

More hiking.

Homecoming

Homecoming this year was a blast! The day of the dance picture taking was miserable because it was cold and incredibly windy but the boys looked handsome and the girls looked gorgeous! James was on the Homecoming court and had a large part in the Homecoming Pep Assembly. It was just a ton of fun!

James with the Queen!

James and his girlfriend Caitlyn. Do you see Chris and Caitlyn's friend Emily??

Football

Clearly I am very bad at updating my blog. I am going to try to make an effort to quit being so bad at this! Here are some pictures from this football season so far. James & Josh have both proved to be impressive quarterbacks and Chris is a force to be reckoned with on Varsity special teams and JV offense & defense. The varsity team won this past Friday in over time against Keystone thanks in large part to a massive and AMAZING tackle by James (seriously one of the cooler things I've ever seen) and also a major interception! One of the greatest games I've ever seen!

Josh & his buddies after a Minihorn Victory.

The Ranc Boys (minus one).

The Begining of the Circle

Our family didn't exactly start the way we had hoped for or expected but none the less we are no longer "childless newlyweds" so this will be our new blog. I found this poem online and it seemed to be so fitting to our new family, I decided it seemed like a good name for the new blog.

I hope that Kirk and I will share in more joyous times and less crisis but I thank God for the strength he has given us throughout this time.
