Capitol Reef Thanksgiving

We had a great time down in Capitol Reef with Ralph's family... picking out our mini christmas tree, watching Alta be hyper and crazy, eating yummy food and lots and lots of pies, going on walks, playing with lizzie, charlie, and elliot, and more than anything getting away from salt lake city and enjoying time with family.

p.s. sorry Alta I had to post that picture it is just too amazing!

Friend Thanksgiving!

Thanks to Dave and Emmy for opening your home it was such a fun dinner, and we had lots of fun playing with Donny and Hobbes such cute baby boys. We can't wait for more thanksgiving coming up on thursday! We are thankful for such great friends! And i'm not so thankful that Ralph cannot just look normal in any pictures!

oh there you are laina! with a giant chunk missing from your arm.

Good Good News!

Ralph and I have had a very anxious week waiting to hear if he was accepted into a Math Education Masters program at the U. And......... he was accepted! Yay! If you know ralph you may know school is not his favorite so it is really great that he has finally had someone acknowledge his hard work and want him for such a great opportunity. It is a grant to help get better math and science teachers into high schools, so they will pay for tuition and a stipend as he is in school and they help him find a teaching job. Woo hoo! We are very excited!
