Long time, no post...

So, it's been awhile! Since I last posted a lot has changed. Here's a list of the highlights:
*Emrie started crawling!

*We moved to Boise, thanks to the help of our fabulous friends and family who helped us, especially Darci and Jen who came along for the WHOLE ride to Boise.
*We took a vacation to Canada with my family over 4th of July weekend (much to Steve's dismay)

The beautiful ranch where my mom grew up, and my favorite vacation spot:





*Emrie "rode" a horse!


*Emrie met Great Grandma West, Great Great Grandma and Grandpa Leavitt, visited with Great Grandma and Grandpa Pierson and a whole lot of cousins! And yes, we took a 5 generation picture.






*Emrie turned 8 months old!


*Emrie went swmimming for the 1st time and LOVED it!


*We finally got unpacked and moved in to Steve's parents old house
*I started my new job in Idaho
*Steve and I got welcomed to the new ward with this statement from the Bishop: "We've been waiting for you. We're going to put you to work!" And sure enough, we got callings on our second week at church! Steve is a Webelos Den leader and I'm the RS pianist.

We loved being able to spend time with my side of the family and introducing them to Emrie. This week, Steve's brother gets home from Brazil and the rest of the family is coming for Amanda's wedding in another week! We're looking forward to spending some time with them as well. We are really enjoying Boise, the beautiful parks, our great ward, and being closer to family. We miss our Utah friends, and encourage you to join us in Idaho! Hope you enjoyed the pics and video. Til next time!

How great for your little family! :)

I hope that Idaho loves you as much as we do! :) And I loved the pictures of you and Emrie and your family and Emrie. So wonderful! :)

Hey, Steve as Webleos den leader--he'll be great with the boys! Glad everything's going well and LOVE the pictures! Miss you guys :)

Steve says to Steve: "I am so freaking jealous! That is the precursor to the best calling."

:) We're glad you guys are settled, and appreciate hearing updates. Don't worry, I'm a slacker with blogging too, I haven't written in a while.

Have fun, miss you!

Ok, I really just want to eat your little girl....there couldn't possibly be another cuter person on this planet! Like we really saw you when you lived close, but we do miss seeing you (ok, who am I kidding? We just miss Emrie! Isn't that the way it always goes?)
