About Us

About Us
Glenn and I have been married for ten spectacular years. We recently moved to Saudi Arabia, which is obviously very far away from both of our families. We keep this blog updated so we can stay close to our friends and fam and to keep a record of our family adventures. Glenn is enjoying his new job and I am loving being a stay-at-home mom. We have two sweet little boys, Tate and Finn and two darling twin baby girls, Taryn and Kenna. We love them to pieces. We also love date nights, good movies, good food, and being with each other.

UEA

Tate at 35 weeks old


Tate loves crackly things lately. He can keep himself entertained for quite a while with his wipes bag or a wrapper of some sort.

This past weekend was UEA (Utah Education Association has a conference and school is out, for those of you not from Utah). We went down the the condo in St. George again and had a great time! We went to the St. George temple and did baptisms with Kenz, we saw Annie at Tuacahn which was great. Kenzie had never seen Annie before, poor deprived child. We went on a hike one afternoon up Snow canyon. It was beautiful! We hiked through sand about half of the time and that was difficult, but it was a gorgeous area. Tate throughly enjoyed himself. He just chattered and sang until he finally passed out. We abused Tate a bit this weekend. It appears that he has a very sensitive gag reflex. He's used to his thin baby food but anything with a little more texture makes him gag and he pulls the greatest facial expressions of complete disgust. It's just plain fun.It's also fun to figure out what Tate will find hilarious each day. Kenzie was making funny noises when we went swimming on Monday and it was sweet to see Tate absolutely crack up. He sure loves his Auntie Kenzie. It's a little unfair. When he's had a hard afternoon and we can't think of anything to cheer him up, Kenzie can walk in the room and he's all smiles.

By far the best news of the week is that we now have a plan! Glenn is in Houston for a couple of days for two second interviews with oil companies and then he comes out here on Thursday. Then he heads down South again to finish up his research! We have a plan. I love having a plan. Everything feels so much better when I have a plan. That's been one of the hardest parts of these last two months. So much of our plans have been up in the air because we had to wait to hear back from companies he's interviewing with to know when he would be where. I'm just so excited to have a plan now. The very hardest part, though, has been being without my honey. I'm glad I haven't had to be alone while we've been apart but I sure miss him.

Miles loved the video. He had to watch it 3 times and that was still not enough. He kept saying "again!"

He is so cute! Cope says, "I want to see more pictures of my cousin." We both laughed our heads off.

So?!?!? What's the plan? Are ya'll going to come back to Austin? We sure do miss ya'll.
Glad everything is going well. What did you decide to have Tate be for Halloween?
