A wonderful video Emma put together to celebrate Lincoln's 3rd birthday. Emma put a lot of love into this and it shows. We watched it Monday 8 March (his b-day) all snuggled on the couch, even Shiloh our dog with us. Made me cry like a baby. Love that boy! Here's to you Lincoln!!

Since the last blog posting we have moved to Dayton, Ohio. We are enjoying the Air Force life and look forward to finishing my residency program in August when we'll be moved to a new assignment. Still no idea where we will be going.

The kids are doing great! Taylor loves kindergarten and Mason is about 19 months old now with an attitude. Emma is expecting a baby girl in late June so all of us are very excited.

Here's some updated pics of the kids. Some are from when Taylor and I went hiking to Timpanogos caves in American Fork Canyon, some are from the Air show at the local Air Force base, some are in our front yard and bath tub. Enjoy! Sorry I have not been as good about updating this blog, for anyone who looks at it. Both Emma and I are on Facebook and we are better about updating that site with new pics.

For anyone who does not know yet, I was recently commissioned into the Air Force as an officer, to be working as a social worker. I will spend a month in Alabama in training during July and then we will be moving to Ohio for a year. We will have the same email and cell phone number if you want to reach us.

Here's some family pics taken by our friend Jennie McBride at the Oceanside beach after Christmas. Beautiful sunset and the sky reflected perfectly off of the glassy tide.

Some Fall Pics

Here's some pics we took after raking leaves this fall. As of yet there is still no snow on the ground, almost the middle of December. But if last year is any indication, winter will be late and very long.
