Happy Father's Day!

Mike is such a wonderful Dad. Anabelle loves him so much and just lights up in his presence. He is so sweet to her. We are just so lucky to have him! We love you Mike. Happy Father's Day.

And a very Happy Father's Day to my dad, Father-in-law and brother-in-laws!

The Crate

Anabelle really wishes this crate was hers sometimes. We have caught her in there several times. She thinks it's the greatest place ever. I even made her her own fort so she would have her own "crate", but she still preferred to climb in here with all of the dog hair. Gross, I know.

Arcee, wondering why she has to share her space
Such a funny girl!

Baby Animal Day

We went up to Logan 2 weekends ago to baby animals day with Laura, Alex, Graham, and Emma. It was a lot of fun. Anabelle had a great time, too (except when the chicken pecked at her little fingers). Here are some pics of our day.

No, she's not really trying to shoot the calf. She just points with her thumb up

Yay for family picture in front of the horse :)

I'm done!!!

I turned in my last assignment for school yesterday, and now I am completely finished!! Hooray! I graduate in one week with my bachelor degree in Family Life Studies from Utah State University. What a relief. This semester has been quite challenging, and I am happy to say that it is over, I did my best, and I will soon be a college grad. :)

I know, I know

Yes, my attempt at blogging lately has been completely pathetic. I have felt like there was nothing to blog about. Plus, we haven't taken many pictures, and I feel like posting without pics is no good. So here are a few. We took Anabelle to our ward's primary Easter activity. She had a lot of fun carrying around her little Easter "basket" the entire time.

For the few of you who may not know already, we have moved back to Utah. Mike is still searching for a job since his layoff back in November. It's nice to be back near family after being away for a few years. We miss Florida, though. And our friends. Oh, the changes that life brings. We certainly did not see this one coming!

On another note, Anabelle has been pretty sick this week. The poor girl woke up from a nap Monday with a 101.8 fever (under the arm), the highest she's ever had. It turned out that she has an ear infection. Her first. No fun at all. Waking up through the night, clingy, whiny, sad, hurting Anabelle is now feeling a little better. In fact, she just woke up and I need to go get her :) Sorry about the long absence from the blogging world. I promise to see you again soon.
