Take Me Out to the Rockhounds Game




Last weekend we went to our first Midland Rockhounds Baseball game and it was a blast! The town we moved to is very family friendly and this is one of the many family events to attend in Midland. The Rockhounds are a Minor League team affiliated with the Oakland A's so it's pretty popular here. The stadium was really nice and it was a lot of fun to get out as a fam. Brighton thought it was the coolest thing to see them hit the ball and when Rocky the the Rockhound came around she was a little apprehensive, but wouldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the week. Anyway, if you're in town and feel like getting the whole "take me out to the ball game" experience, give us a call!

Red, White, and BLUE



So on the 4th of July we were invited to some friends' house we recently met in the ward. We had a barbeque and went into their community pool and we had a great time. We were all sitting around the table when Brighton ran in from their girls' bedroom so excited and said "Mom! Look!". She had gotten into some nail polish (their girls were older mind you)and had painted her toes all by herself! The first thing on my mind was " Oh my gosh! It's going to be all over their carpet! I'm dead!" But after meticulous searching, there was none to be found! Not even a drop! Even though she got into trouble, I was actually pretty impressed with her skills and she was pretty proud of herself. She wasn't wearing blue that day, so maybe she was just trying to support America's B-day. Whatever it was, we hope everyone else had as great of a 4 of July as we did! Happy Independence Day!

We're Here and We're Happy

I just wanted to let everyone know that we made it to Texas and we are (surprisingly) loving our lives! The people are great, the ward is super friendly and it's an all-around nice town. Kyle is really liking his job and all his co-workers have taken to him. So much so, that they volunteered him for this little interview below. He's a little embarrassed about it(as you can probably see by the shades of red on his face) but I'm super proud! Enjoy learning a little more about what Kyle does!

Black Eye


This is what happens when I turn my back for one second and my make-up is out on the counter. Brighton has to be there by my side doing her make-up as well. What a cute patoot!

It's Official...

We have decided to joined the ranks of our many Texan friends and move to the Lone Star State! That's right! Kyle got a job at Midland Memorial Hospital and we couldn't be happier! This is the perfect fit for us which is a little ironic because anyone who knows me knows that I've always vowed to never live in Texas. For some reason I just didn't ever like the place (even though I've never actually been there) but I'm sure it will be great! We're excited and it'll be a fast move (we have to be there by the 22nd!) so wish us luck with the next few weeks! Texas here we come!

Putting on A Show

Brighton's favorite thing to do lately is put on her leotard and tutu and do her "dancin' stuff". Here is a little performance of her singing her favorite Ariel song and dancing around. Also, she's doing plea-ays (Not sure how to spell that one. never took french.) which I have no clue where she learned it from. Sorry for the sideways video, you'll just have to turn your head.

She is such a girly girl. I can't wait to put her in dance class and have her learn a thing or two.
