The kids

It has been 6 months and we have all adjusted to life in Montana. It was an icy winter but we are now really enjoying the warm summer. We had a great visit with M&D in May. We were so excited to have them here. They got to meet Addie and see where we live and even got to have FHE with us. What a treat it was for us!

We are planning a trip down there soon.. hopefully within the next couple of weeks. I will let you know and maybe we can have a get together or something. I posted some pictures of the kids so you can see how they've grown.. It's been difficult trying to get a good picture of Xav.. Usually it's just silly faces or he looks away right as I take the picture. I'll see if I can't surprise him one of these days. :) Anyway, we'll see you guys soon! Love you! 

 Addie smelling the tulips at the temple.. Love this one!

Family Lehi Carnival Fun!

I thought since I have my own blog and I am familiar with it I would do the first picture post. I am glad that Andrea thought of this. It is a great way for everyone to keep in touch even when we are far away from each other.

On Sat. we took Tyson, Stockton and Brooklyn to the Lehi Carnival at Wines park. We had such a good time and the kids did almost all of the activities. James and Tyson got to ride on a pony. Also all of the boys rode together on the kiddie train. It was so cute to see them all getting along. About the time we were ready to go the kids got to choose if they wanted cotton candy or a snow cone. Tyson got cotton candy and the rest of us got snow cones. It was such a blast. These are some pictures of when we got back to The Allred's house to clean up.

Welcome to the family blog!

I'm so excited to get this started! I hope you all post pictures and stories and birthday parties and exciting events in your lives! I love you all and can't wait to see what you all have to share! I'll go first... let's see if I can figure out how to upload a picture or two on here.. ;)
