We discovered our very own little Moab just 15 minutes from our house. It is beautiful. We’ve gone rappelling with friends twice there now. We’re hooked! The kids have been fearless and beg and to do it again and again. We may have to actually go to the real Moab with them next!

On the way home from our epic three-week road trip (which I promise I’ll post mom), we decided to make it even MORE epic and get a puppy. Dutch has been lots of fun so far and aside from any time she’s peed inside or attacked our chickens, I actually like her and the kids adore her. Since she’s already huge (so much for the runt of the litter), I thought I better post some pictures of her quick.

And this is when she started getting too big for Kate to hold, which was very sad for Kate and lucky for Dutch. (bad iphone pic)

Dutch and Kate are little buddies.

The kids and their shenanigans.

No shortage of love here.

Dutch Baby.

Geoff’s parents leave tomorrow for their mission to Laie, Hawaii. They will be teaching at BYU-Hawaii in the classroom, and in the library. Words can’t express how proud we are of their decision to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and leave the comforts of home. We will miss them tremendously.
