Circus!

To keep up with our tradition we headed to the Circus in Indianapolis for Nephi's birthday 

instead of a party at our house. 

We all enjoyed it! 

The elephants are being retired and will no longer be part of the circus in 2016 so I am glad that we got to experience them. 

15 Tigers in a cage with 1 man.....YIKES

Elephants! We were SO close it was scary and amazing.

Sleeping - This was Nephi's favorite part

Dinner at Brunos with Grandma & Grandpa Brigham

Nephi's Birthday Dinner

With all the hectic life I need to catch up by saying Nephi is 4!! 

He got to celebrate a hand full of times because it was also us saying goodbye to several people too.

Merry Christmas!

We decided to head about 15 minutes west of our house to take a few pictures on Christmas. 

This is the Colorado River. 

Merry Christmas!!
(Honey just write whatever you want on your board.......) Wife Mistake.

She just hates to pose for the camera....

Coraline still has not adjusted to all the sunshine. 

FLYING

No Smiles - Too hungry at this point. Lunch it is!

Back in Business!

We just got internet at the house so no more traveling down the mountain to Starbucks to send emails or for Levi to work. 

THANK GOODNESS!!

LOTS to Catch Up on Coming Soon!

On the Road

We have started the trip to Arizona!
Right now we are driving in Texas.
No meltdowns yet.... but we did drive at night for eight hours while they slept....so Lee and I look like we have been hit by a bus.

We stopped in Oklahoma City and walked the zoo for a few hours in beautiful weather. They had newborn gorillas which we got to see up close due to the fact that the zoo was vacant during early morning winter hours on a Tuesday.

Thanks everyone for your love and prayers on this trip. We will miss our Indiana family but we will enjoy this adventure and getting to spend time with Levi's baby sister and her little family.

More to come when I am not entertaining these crazies.
