Season Passes!

This year, we decided to get season passes to Seven Peaks. Parker and Autumn are free, we live in walking distance and Paul has a very flexible work schedule, so we have been able to make good use of them. Paul and I have been able to go a couple of times with out the kids, I have been with just the kids, but mostly we all go together with Paul's sister, Kim. It really has been so much fun!

Parker is a little nervous around the water, but he is getting braver every day. Autumn seems to be fearless in the water and wants to wiggle out of your arms and swim on her own. She loves crawling in the shallow part of the wave pool. They have both been down some of the big slides with us, but Parker now refuses/screams/cries. Autumn doesn't love it, but tolerates it. Aren't they so cute in their swimsuits?

Annual Work BBQ

We attended the Annual Work BBQ at the Todd's Home. It was a fun evening filled with volleyball, friends, and great food, as usual.

Cheerios!

So this turned out to be a bad idea...as you can see...

The Nation's Capital

The job search begins...
(Yes, still one more year of Law School, but the job search starts now.)

Paul had two interviews in Washington D.C. earlier this week. One with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), who he also did his internship with in Seattle this spring, and the other with the US Department of Transportation. He feels like they both went well, so we will see what happens.

Everyone always asks you while you are still living the student life, where you want to end up. We would love to be close to family so that we can see them often. We would love to be some where that isn't too hot and we would love to be somewhere that isn't too cold. There seems to be no real 'perfect' place, especially considering we have so much family that we can't possibly be close to all of them. We go back and forth on what we think would be the 'perfect' place to live, but in the end we want to be where the Lord wants us to be.

So as we begin this job search process, we are prayerful and know that the Lord will put us in a place that is best for our little family and where we can best be of service to him. (Whether he wants to let us know where that place is now, or in 8 months from now is pretty much up to him.) In the meantime, we'll keep looking.

We'll keep you posted!

Grand Junction

We took a quick trip to Grand Junction and got to see Granny, Pops and the Hawses. We had fun playing some games, going to Chuck E Cheese, and just hanging out. Oh, and jumping on Pops and Granny's bed, as pictured above. Thanks for letting us drop in. We loved seeing all of you!

Parker started crying when this simulated roller coaster ride started shaking the seat.

Camping

This is the first time that we have been camping since we have had kids. Parker absolutely loved it! We went with our ward, so there was a big group. Parker had fun running around the campsite with his little friends, but mostly, he just wanted to hang out in the tent. He kept saying, "We are trapped in our tent." We have a great ward and we had a lot of fun!
