3 years! It goes by just like that!

3 years ago, on August 7th we were married in the St. George temple, and what a time it's been!

We now have 2 kids, we've lived in 5 different places, Travis has had 3 different jobs, and we went from Cedar City to St. George, to Ogden. I got my Bachelors degree in Visual Arts, and Travis got his Assosciates degree in Automotive technology. What a life it is!

Elora's Blog Entry

Hi, my name is Elora. My favorite things to do are:

Brushing my teeth,

playing outside,

and riding in my stroller.
A few weeks ago I went to Lagoon with my family. Here we are riding the train.
I rode one ride by myself, but I'm not sure I liked it that much.
My favorite thing was to ride the Merry-go-round with Mommy.

A few weeks ago we went on a long car ride to St. George

Grandma Seegmiller gave me some sunglasses that I love wearing!

I let Max wear them too.

Max and Daddy fell asleep at Grandma's house

Here's my family the same day that Daddy blessed Max in St. George

Grandma Seegmiller let me take a bubble bath in her BIG bathtub

I also got to play in the kiddie pool outside

My brother Max is getting stronger

This is great-grandma Andersen at her 80th birthday party. That's a LONG time to be alive.

I got to meet my uncle Jason at the airport. He was on his mission when I was born.

I got to stay at my Uncle Dan, and Aunt Janene's house for a few days. I had fun playing with my cousins.

I also got to go swimming, but it was a little scary at first.

On our way home from St. George, we stopped at Krispy Kremes, and Max got to hold the donuts.

I like lying on my tummy just like Max

Here's Max smiling at me.

Thanks for reading my journal entry, maybe my mommy will let me help her again someday.

Growing Children

It seems like everyday is a new adventure, there's ups and downs and new things to learn all the time. Elora has been learning really well to drink out of a big girl cup, no sippy or lid or anything, and of course that means a wet table, t-shirt, floor, etc... and Max is growing so fast, he's been smiling a lot more lately, and it's the cutest thing ever as you can see.... I'm finding that two kids are hard, and am learning... or trying to learn anyway... patience.... That darn 'P' word... I think there should be a rule that only one person is allowed to cry at a time. We can't have Max crying over gas, Elora crying because she can't have the faucet running all the time so she can brush her teeth...(or hold her toothbrush under the water all day...) and Mom crying out of frustration or 'Baby Blues" ALL at the same time! It just doesn't work very well that way... Anyway, here are the pictures! Good thing these kids sure are cute!

Here's a good angle of Max's spikey hair:

Kisses for Max (Don't know if he's too thrilled about that...)

Watch out ladies!

Hanging out on the couch

Yea!! Winter in June!
BIG BOY!!
This is what Elora will look as a grandma (no, they're just pretend glasses)Elora learning how to take off and put on her pants, she can't quite get them on all the way yet
Smiling, Happy Max!

New Blog

So I'm starting a blog. I was looking for a place to share photos of our family and whatever else, and I found it here. So come back and see my life unfold right here. Here are the latest pictures:

Max, Travis, and Elora just chillin' on the couch

Max posing for his shot before he shot spit-up

Elora wearing Daddy's backpack

My family gathered together for my brother, Scott's graduation for his Masters

Elora had a rough day at Scott's graduation, she even fell asleep on Grandma's lap

Grandma Gough came up a week after Max was born to return Elora to us and see Max
