Family Vacation

We took a little family vacation to California and went to the Utah vs USC game and spent some time at the beach. The kids were very good for the flights and I am sure would have had a much better time if they were without fevers and colds. We still had a nice time spending it with each other.
Max slept almost the whole flight.



Breakfast at the beach.




Sick kids, humidity frizzed out hair, cool wind blowing, but still an enjoyable sunset.
We were sad to leave but happy to get home.

Family Update

Our family has very exciting news to share...we will be going to court in October to finalize our adoption with our son Max. We are overjoyed to have him in our family. He brings so much joy and happiness to our lives and is adored by everyone. He is a happy boy and just turned 1. Marley is a caring and attentive big sister and is always by his side if he needs anything. Here are some new family pictures.




Because Marley and Max have their birthdays so close to one another we did a combined "Pirate" birthday party. Marley loves pirates right now so the theme was her choice.




Go Utes!


Max' first haircut, he did so well...it could have to do with the sucker he kept in his mouth the entire time!

Thank you to everyone for your love and support while our family went through a rollercoaster of emotions and trials this past year. We are so grateful for Max's birthmothers decision she made to allow us to adopt him. We love him more than words can say and are relieved to have this chapter come to a close with a happy ending and be able to move forward with our family.

All our love.
