The other night I was feeding Ellie and Aaron was putting the boys to bed. The rooms are close and I overhead story time... We read the boys the picture version of the Book of Mormon every night. You know the one that has about 6 little box pictures with writing underneath. Well, the boys were reading the last chapter about Moroni's promise. When they were done reading Aaron told the boys that they could pray and know if the Book of Mormon is true. Isaac waned to pray he said, "Heavenly Father help us to know if the Book of Mormon is true." Simple to the point. (Aaron helped a little, Isaac does not like much help though.) When they were done praying Aaron said how do you feel. Isaac excitedly said, "I FEEL GOOD! Daddy, IT"S TRUE!!" Isaac was so excited and sincere about the whole experience. Listening to this sweet moment brought tears to my eyes! What a testimony builder for me! Isaac kept shouting "IT"S TRUE!" When I came in the room after feeding Ellie he was sure to tell me. It made me realize how important it is to read the scriptures as a family. Half the time I don't think they are listening but they really are!

Arizona Fun!

While Aaron was in training the kids and I went to Arizona! We had a blast. We went to the train museum, Schnepf farms, carved pumpkins, trick or treated, airplane museum (grandpa took the boys), went swimming, and went to the Phoenix zoo!! Wow never a dull moment! Here are some pictures of our adventures!

Both Isaac and Sam wanted to be Buzz Light Year this year!

Schnepf Farms was a blast!

Isaac Loved all the rides! Especially the roller coaster!

When we went to the Phoenix Zoo we all got to feed the Giraffe's!! So Cool! I have never been that close to a Giraffe before!

Brothers

Everything happened so fast...

Well...it is true we are now living in Utah. Never thought this would happen. I knew we would move away from good ol' Rexburg but I never thought we would end up in Utah. Aaron interviewed for the job they told him they would call him back in 2 weeks however they called him back the next day and wanted him to start Sep. 26!! We put our house up for rent and we found renters in less than 24 hours. We packed up our house and came down here! Except Aaron had training for 4 weeks so the kids and I went to Arizona. Leaving Rexburg was a sad sad day. I miss our awesome house, our amazing friends, ward, neighborhood, the safe small town feel, the wonderful summers, the boys saying 775 Park Street in there cute voices! As we drive away from our house I cried and cried wondering what we had gotten ourselves into but, also excited for the adventure ahead. It has been an adventure but a good one. Thanks to all my wonderful friends who came to help us on moving day! We have been very blessed to make such good friends that we miss greatly! Here are some pictures of our house. It was very hard to leave this house!
