Children's Musuem at the Gateway

Yesterday, Discovery Gateway had a free day so we went to check it out. Carter had a great time and Lily had a harder time because she could not crawl around. It was pretty busy but we still had a fun trip to SLC.

Christmas Time:

 Ryan went to a drag race:

Ryan was gone 19 weeks in Qatar doing the same work that his does at Hill Air Force Base. We did not tell people that he was gone for the safety of Natalie and the kids. Enjoy the pictures of Ryan's adventure.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Lily

Today, Lily is 11 months old!

Lily has learned this past month to:
pull herself up
walk around furniture
say clap and come on
throw the food she does not like on the floor
love her dad again

Lily loves to:
follow Carter everywhere
cuddle with her blankets while she sleeps
clap
walk around with someone holding both of her hands

It is amazing how fast time has gone and that next month we will be celebrating her first birthday.

Crazy Hair

Lily is slowing getting some hair but the hair she does have sticks up on the top of her head. I love it!

Happy Family

 During the last two weeks, that Ryan was gone, Carter started to pray every night that Daddy would come home and that we would be a happy family. Well, I am family to report that we are a happy family and glad to be back all together again.

In other news, we bought a new car:

After 19 weeks of being deployed in Qatar, Ryan returned home. We are so glad that he is home safe and sound. We are grateful for the work opportunity that Ryan had to go to Qatar but we are definitely glad that it is over.
