Change of Seasons

Headed down Spanish Fork Canyon looking for hot springs and found this mini-Zions in the middle of nowhere. Pretty cool though. Anson had a great time leading us on a hike, rolling in and eating dirt and climbing rocks. He's so cool, must be the hat.

Anson just climbed this steep rock, I'm so proud.

The struggle to get a good family photo by setting the camera on a rock.

We all went to a tumbling gym with some friends, Ali didn't get in much playing, but Anson and I had a blast jumping into the foam pits and doing the climbing wall where we landed in the foam pit when we fell. Anson didn't want to leave.

Ansons first time on an Olympic tramp.

Having a great time playing in the foam pit, but where's Dad?

The Unknown

I am really on a roll, updating our blog for the second time in two weeks.

Mike has been placed on the waiting list at Pacific North West. He won't know what number on the waiting list until the end of April. We still have hope that he'll get in this fall but we have to plan for him not getting in as well. Mike has just started an MCAT prep course to apply again for med school next year. Our family is currently unsure of the future. However we are putting our faith in the Lord that he will direct us to where we need to be.

Ali: I'm still pregnant at 36 1/2 weeks. This is a blessing because I had Anson at 36 weeks weighing 4lbs 11oz and he was in the NICU about 2 weeks. I am just hoping I stay pregnant a few more weeks because the baby is measuring small.

Anson is talking so so much. He likes to copy all the words we say. He is starting to fold his arms during prayers and he thinks pictures of men with beards are Jesus. He is all boy and would rather watch a truck or a tractor than do anything else.

After

The fam on our scooter. The Greers came to visit from Rexburg and brought it for us. So nice of them and so good to see friends.

Hair cuts for daddy and Anson. Like father like son

It's about time

It has almost been a year from the last time we updated our blog. We will try to do better. The highlights over the last little while include:
Me being pregnant with baby #2, a girl, due April 19th

Us moving to Mapleton with Mike's parents
Mike applying to med school with an interview in Washington
