House Hunting
Well, we just got back last night from a 4-day house hunting trip in Seattle! It was a great trip and very productive. We were so blessed to be able to leave the kids at my parents' house so that they could play and we could work hard. I sure did miss these cute faces!
We were so lucky to have some friends that live in the area that we were looking at. Allan and Jenn were so hospitable and gave us a great set-up. Allan got his BYU MBA 2 years ago and now works for Amazon, so it was nice to talk with them about how they like their area, the commute, etc.
In total, I believe that we saw about 35 houses. We got through them pretty quickly since Justin and I definitely knew what we didn't like. Some of the foreclosure properties were kind of scary. It's so sad that some people neglect and mistreat their homes. We have now narrowed the field down to four homes which are all beautiful and would be great for our family. Two are new and two are a few years old. Unfortunately, they are all overpriced. So we will see if anyone is willing to deal! If we can get one into our price range, then we might just have a house to buy! If not, that's ok. We will rent and look patiently for the right one. We are confident that as we seek inspiration from the Spirit we will find the place where our family needs to be.
So stay tuned! Big decisions ahead!
MBA Talent Show
Every year there is an MBA talent show and it is so fun to go to! There are so many talented kids, students and spouses in the program. This year I was invited to be a part of the "Barbershop Beauties" and sing in a great barbershop quartet. It was so much fun!
Thanks to Anika for putting it together. We don't get opportunities to do things like this very often as moms, and it was really fun!
Brandon and Lindsey got in on the action during the Twinkie eating contest for the kids. They put in an A+ effort!
And I just have to say that one of our most vivid memories from the MBA talent shows will be our friend Sam in the program. He can do Michael Jackson like no one's business! Thanks for doing it again this year Sam. It was very memorable! :)

Bigfoot
I'm not sure what nick-name our new TV will have, but I'm thinking about Bigfoot, the Big Cheese, Max or the Giant. He and I are going to have to get used to each other!
Here is Justin picking up his well-deserved prize from the Omniture competition.
It obviously won't have a permanent home on the top of the entertainment center. Justin just couldn't wait two months until we move to Seattle to get it out and set it up, and there just isn't a place for it in our current condo. But hey, we might like laying on the couch so that we can watch our movies! Welcome to the family, Max!

The Big 4
Lindsey is getting so big these days! This last week we celebrated her birthday. It's hard to believe that this little lady came into the world 4 years ago.
What a beauty!
Lots of hair
Very silly with Brandon
And lots of smiles
And when Katelyn was born she took to being a big sister so well
Now she is 4 and it's hard to believe!
We had a fun family party and enjoyed a great spaghetti dinner that Lindsey requested. She had a fun time opening presents and spending time with everyone.
Happy birthday Lindsey girl! We sure love you!
