"We're Not in Kansas Anymore Toto"

We recently relocated from Utah to Florida! It's just temporary for a couple of months. We did a house swap with a guy Shane works with for the summer. I can't believe we are crazy enough to do something like this but we made the swap and are loving it here. I happen to LOVE the beach, It's up there on the list with family, friends, and my faith. It's so fun for me to share my love of the beach with my children. I've always dreamed of having little beach baby's. Although they are staying nice and white with hats, sunscreen, rash gaurds, and the whole bit. It has been a huge adjustment having Shane work from home, we are still working out the kinks. The boys like all the new adventures, but of course are a little confused by such a BIG change. We are trying to get them into some sort of a routine.
More pictures to come.

Day Out With Thomas

Here are some photos taken by Jenna(Thanks so Much, they turned out wonderful) of our day in Heber with some of our favorite things. Namely Thomas and Friends, Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Graduation!

Yep, Boston graduated from 3 year old preschool. It was really cute, I even almost cried. No, I'm not kidding. At the end they played a slide show with a country song about "let them stay little"or something, anyone know what I am talking about? I'd love to download it, so if you know let me know. Anyway, they just sang songs and did a little gymnastics to show a little bit of what they learned. During the songs he plugged his ears as you can see in the picture. Then he actually ran through the little obstacle course they had set up, which I was shocked, especially after the ear plugging. He was really excited when they gave him the trophy, he ran to me exclaiming, "I got the Piston Cup, Mommy!"

This is what his teacher wrote to him:

As shy as you try to be, I learned the truth. You are ready to make friends and learn with them. Thank you for all your help this year. Keep practicing your name and pretty soon you'll have it perfect. Miss Ashley 2009
