Time Flys When Your Having Fun



We have had so many fun and challenging adventures between now and my last post. The most important one started 9 months ago and delivered this beautiful package on April 29th. Samantha arrived healthy and beauitful weighing 7 lbs 15.8 oz.

Look at all that hair! She is definitely her daddy's little girl!



Proud and tired parents!


First time in the car seat. She looks so grown up!


It's been wonderful having my mom here to help me get settled in and adjusting to motherhood.


It hasn't all been fun the last few months have been crazy with me surving my second tax season and Derek recovering from his second knee surgery.

However last fall we made time to take a fun trip to visit Derek's family in Texas. Oh yes and we had a chance to do a little whitetail hunting.
Derek's 10pt whitetail. Yes he did shoot the dear, although it looks like he got in a fist fight with it.

My deer was a good sized 4pt.


In January we had the pleasure of going to the temple with Grandpa JR when he received his endowment.
More to come shortly......
