SURPRISE!

We are in Utah. and we will probably be here for several months. Marcus has lots of work and we did not want to pass up the opportunity to get some moola. It is slow in WA right now, so we hoped in the car and drove on down! Im excited to see my friends and family(again) but Im ready for some stability! and I officially hate packing/unpacking! I look forward to seeing some of you!

Also before I forget, It was our nephew Eastons bday on the 17th! It was celebrated at Garlands gymnastics, Lots of kids, but totally fun! these were the only pics I managed to get.
these pics dont do the party justice! It was totally, cute with Handy Manny posters and hard hats and even a hard hat cake! Sarah did a good job and was super brave with all those kiddos running around!

In remembrance

As you read in my christmas blog, Grandpa Hoffman passed away on christmas, well grandpa Novak passed away two weeks ago. We each lost a grandpa within a month of each other. It was very sad but we know it was their time to go. unfortunately we weren't able to make either funerals, but we were able to see Grandpa Hoffman in september, and talk to Grandpa Novak on christmas day. They will be missed.

Christmas

Is it sad that I am just now posting Christmas? Baylees first christmas was lots of fun, she got lots of toys, clothes, food, and a new carseat and stroller! We spent the night at my parents house, did presents and breakfast, and then headed out to Marcus' parents for the rest of the day. I also had a great christmas, Marcus bought me my first guitar! I can kind of play it, and Im excited for lessons. Christmas this year was also a sad one, Grandpa Hoffman passed away, we were lucky to have him come out to our wedding.
