New Job Here In Kansas City

So it feels like we have been in limbo all summer. We moved here to Kansas City for a couple months while Scott worked and helped oversee the sale of the company to another. The new company offered Scott a job and so we will be staying here longer. Its a great opportunity and there is a lot of potential to grow with the new company.
We are going to be signing a lease at a different apartment on Friday, so we will be moving again this weekend. Thankfully it is only across town and not across the country. That will entail packing the small amount of stuff we have been living with here because we thought it was temporary and also making a trip to Oklahoma City to get the rest of our stuff soon. Just wanted to keep everyone updated with our plans since we finally made some decisions.

Like Father Like Son

I decided to post some pictures about my boys today. I love this first one. Dallin loves to wear his sunglasses and hat just like Daddy does.


I also thought this was adorable and post worthy. I got called into the bathroom the other day to show me this. Dallin wanted shaving cream on his face like Scott. I will be able to look back on this day when he is older when Scott really teaches him how to shave. I love my boys!!

3 Year Anniversary

Today is our three year anniversary!! We are very excited to celebrate and take the chance to reflect on the past year of marriage. We have experienced some firsts thats for sure.

Dallin had his first birthday. #2 is just around the corner next month.

Scott graduated from BYU-Idaho.

We moved across the country from Idaho to OK.

Then we moved to KS a week later.

I had a miscarriage weeks before we moved.

We welcomed a new niece and nephew to the world.

Its been a wonderful year and we are looking forward to many more!! I love you Scott!

Children's Farmstead

With Dallin's love of animals we thought we would take him to see some at a farm. They had a few more animals than at Mema and Papa's farm. The farmstead we visited is a beautiful 12 acre plot of land with several animals and activities for kids. We saw turkeys, chickens, goats, cows, pigs, bobcats, bald eagle, hawk, horses, ducks, swans, and buffalo. Dallin was moooing and quacking all the way through the park. There was a fishing pond, pony rides, wagon rides, and mining. It sure was hot, but we had a great time seeing everything.

KC Royals vs. Minnesota Twins

We took Dallin to his first major league baseball game on Monday night. And for Scott we decided to go when Minnesota was playing. It was so much fun, Dallin had a blast, and it was an exciting game to watch. There were so many fans from Minnesota there and they won 19-1. They started off with a 6 run lead and a grand slam in the first inning. After that we were pretty sure Minnesota would win!!!

Oklahoma Joe's BBQ

We can't live in Kansas City and not post about BBQ. We tried a couple different places until we found this one that we really like. Oklahoma Joe's has won several cooking awards and trophies which are so proudly displayed when you walk in the front door of the restaurant. It has more recently been made famous when Vanity Fair placed it on their list of best BBQ places in the country and when President Obama ate there when he visited Kansas City last week.

I had to post this second picture for Scott.

Church History Sites

This past Saturday we decided to visit some Church history sites since we live so close to them now. It was a first visit for all three of us. First, we traveled 40 minutes to Independence, MO to the visitors center. We watched a short presentation on the plan of salvation and how it applies to us directly with our busy lives. This is Dallin driving the covered wagon in the pioneer display.

Right across the street is the Commmunity of Christ temple pictured below. We were curious as to the design of the building so we went inside and also visited the museum there.

Then on to Liberty, MO to visit the jail where Joseph Smith and other men were kept for many months. We are sitting on the outside edge of the jail. We had a great trip and it was a good reminder of some early church history events. We hope to visit Far West and Adam Ondi Ahman before we leave.
