Lots to update

So, we have a lot to update! Kyle graduated in April! Yay Kyle! Also, we decided to accept the offer for admittence into James Madison University in Virginia. So after staying in California for the summer, we are going across country to reside in the east! We are excited for that new adventure, but really sad to leave Provo. It's bitter-sweet. Fortunately, we were very blessed to find a great apartment there in Virginia. It will be an upgrade for us--it has a real garage and a separate laundry room and tons of closet space. So that makes the move a little easier.


I just finished teaching, so we have a couple days to pack (we haven't even started) and store our stuff and we'll be heading out to California this week. We are really looking forward to our summer in Califoria with Kyle's parents. I forsee many trips to the beach....I am especially happy to finally be home with my little boy.

Here are a couple pictures of our Memorial day adventure to the Timpanogus caves. It was a fun family outing and the perfect day for it.





Kyle was quite the trooper to carry James in the carier all day---I still had to tell him to slow down! Here is James getting ready to take a nap about halfway up the mountain.


James has made some milestones in the last month or so. He can roll over and he does this all over the room as a mode of transportation. He is pretty pleased with himself except when he wants to go forward--can't quite coordinate arms and legs enough to crawl yet. He can also sit up on his own!
Here is him playing his little piano. He's a natural---so far he had played it with his tongue, chin, hands and feet! Whatever gets it to make noise!


This is just a classic one that I had to put in for the record. He was really sleepy. Side note--he was awake and smiling while Kyle was bouncing him on his knee about 30 seconds before I started recording.
