She likes to Move It!!

Peter gets Aly to do this cute little dance to "Move It". She loves it so much that she just laughs and laughs. It's so adorable.

Our Hike

Yea!! Jill has finally learned how to edit and post video's to our blog. So here's the first of many.

Here's a short video of our Hike on the Lava. It's about 4 minutes long. We got half way up and realized that we didn't have the camera. So Peter hiked back down just to get it. He's so amazing!!We tried to show just how beautiful it is up there. Enjoy!

Cabin Fun!

This month we have spent a lot of time at the cabin. It has been so nice to escape our hectic lives. The first trip was with Mom and Dad Austin. It was lots of fun to spend time with them relaxing and playing lots of games. This was Aly's first trip to the cabin. It was such a treat to see her exploring new sites and sounds. She loved the rainbow windsocks and windchimes.

The second trip was with Jill's sister, Nikole and her hubby Adrian. We really enjoyed having them there. Again it was lots of fun spending time with them relaxing and playing games. Peter and Jill introduced Nikole to Settlers of Catan. For those of you who know the game you know it can be complex. Well, Kolie picked up on it quickly and did very well for herself. Adrian claimed that he doesn't care for the game, but we think he secretly does. After all, he did win.

Adrian And Nikole were only able to stay the weekend, to much dissapointment from everyone. So after they left Peter and Jill went on several hikes and walks. We climbed the Lava Rocks in the backyard and we also followed Mammoth Creek down for while. It's such beautiful country that anywhere you walk is amazing. (The first picture is from hike to the top of the Lava and the second one was on our walk by the creek.)

All that exercise really took it out of Aly. This picture was taken on the morning we were packing up to leave. She slept the whole drive down the mountain and the entire drive home from Cedar City to Las Vegas, about 4 hours. We really felt blessed.

Well, we really enjoyed ourselves and hope that everyone else did to. We can't wait to go back.

Our BIG Girl!!

Here's our Aly. We bought a booster chair for her so we don't have to hold her while we feed her rice cereal. She love's to clean herself up with the washcloth when she's done. She's really growing up. Some mornings we wake up and don't even recognize her.
