New House

Our House
Up the Street view is Mt Timpanogos
Our view from the front you can see the spire of the temple!
Our view off the balcony is very pretty, we look over a horse ranch. Only bad thing is we seem to have lots of flies!
We made it to Utah....pretty easy car ride with only three kids....it has been along time since we traveled with less than 5 kids!

Trek-The weekend we moved our stake was taking the youth on a pioneer trek to Martin's Cove in Wyoming. When I heard this I knew Ashley and Nick had to go...not really wanting to go because they did not know anyone...I finally said "you have to go." Ashley felt a little better after going to church the Sunday before, and Nick is pretty good about rolling with the punches so off they went to trek. Needless to say they had a great time, the youth of our new ward are amazing and of course how could you not feel the spirit in that sacred place! When they got home late Saturday Night we picked them up and they could not stop talking about how much fun they had!

New Ward-We have felt very welcomed here in American Fork 37th ward, the youth are amazing which only reflects on the families in this ward. It has a wide range of members of all ages which I love, and we are looking forward to our ward Rodeo in a couple of weeks. You get to know people in your ward alot faster here in Utah because they all live on your streeet!~Ashley has already given a talk!

House- I love our house, kenny did a good job picking it out. It is a little smaller but we have made it work and are very grateful to be together again after 3 months apart. Mt.Timponogas Temple is around the corner, it sits on a little hill so when you drive toward our house it looks like you are driving to the temple, my kids see the temple daily and I love that! What a great reminder for them...I am very close to schools, and walmart and of course church is around the corner.
High School-Mascot is the Cavemen! Nick couldn't be happier about that he already lives like one! He is playing football, right now he is playing middle linebacker and is exhausted everyday with two practices!(mom's stragedy) Their motto is "defend the cave!" He is very happily surprised there is lot's of cute girls here in Utah. Ashley is looking forward to starting her Senior year and her social life is very busy hanging out with girls from gym...she has found there is lots of fun stuff to do here and utah is a great treat place!(snow cones everywhere)

Elementary School-jackson and emma are excited about school just registered them and they got a tour of their school...there is a park close enough for them to go and play at and they are always there playing with neighbor kids. Jackson and nick's new thing is a long board! very popular here in Utah.

I think we probably drove by your house yesterday; we have a couple of friends who live right around there and we drove around trying to find their houses! Glad to see you guys are enjoying it. Miss seeing you all at church! Beautiful home!!!
