Yes, we are alive!

It has been a VERY busy month! We moved to Richland, WA on the 20th of Dec. & are almost done settling in! I will post pics of our new place soon. We really like it here (it is much less cold than Idaho Falls)! I have already found a good Thai restaurant, checked out the mall, have been to Target & Wal-mart MANY times, toured Aaron's new office, and we've been to our new ward twice! We are in the Badger Mountain Ward, & they are already fantastic! We've felt very welcome & we had a crew of about 20 people come help us move in (& they brought goodies)! A big THANK YOU them, as well as my parents, Clayton (Aaron's Dad drove the moving truck for us!), the Strong family & Robert & Amanda Stevens for ALL of your help!!!!

The BIGGEST perk to moving here is how close we are to my FAMIY!!!! Aaron drove us out there on Christmas day & we (June, Logan, & I ) stayed for about 5 days! Aaron was there for a few days on & off. He had to work & then flew to San Diego for his brother, Paul's, wedding! YAY! I didn't get many pics (I'm always having too much fun to remember to get my camera out)! But, here are the ones I got:
Cousins!

Papa eating yummy pizza, & Logan eating yummy crinkly paper!

Haley & Baley helping with June (they are getting so big & put on a GREAT show)!


My nieces & nephews: Arn't their faces angelic?

My Mom, Dad, brothers & sisters, & I (+ June & Logan)


It was SO fun! & I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE living closer, so I can see them more often!!!

I still have to a post on our little family's Christmas & a few other things, but I'm out of time tonight, but I just wanted everyone to know that we are still alive & blogging!
