Rees is 12!

Rees turned 12!  I can't believe it.  He was a good sport as we traveled home on his Bday.  We hung out as a family and did his bday cake of ice cream.

Rees later received the Aaronic priesthood the Sunday before we left to move.  He got to go to scout camp with his friends and a couple mutual nights.  He was sad to leave all the new deacons that he just was getting to know.  I can't say enough about Rees.  He was the first child for a reason.  He knows how to calm his siblings, he is funny, motivated and has been such a great kid through all these moves.  He is good to always get done what he needs to and do well.  Love you our Rees!

Corvallis Trip

After UT trip we headed over the river and through the woods to Oregon.  Jared stopped in Portland to hang with his brother and go to a Physics Conference.  I took the kids down to Corvallis for a few days to hang out with good friends.  It was so fun to see everyone again!  We miss our dear friends there.  We had such good years there. 

We stayed with our good friends the Hales.  Bless them for putting us up and dealing with me constantly on the computer looking for new housing.  

Apparently I didn't take a lot of pictures. Opps.  We had Bday parties, swimming, and a good old GNO like the old days!
