Landon's 1st day of Preschool!!!!!!!!

Our little/Big boy started Preschool today!!!! Wow... CRAZY that our oldest is going to Preschool! 1 more year until Kindergarten. He has been sooo excited and ready to go to school. He is popping out of bed the last 2 days at 6:45am ready to get going. I LOVE it! It is so crazy entering this new realm of parenthood. I feel like more of a mom now, in a different way.
We are so proud of Landon and know that he is just going to thrive in school! He did Awesome his 1st day! Way to go Buddy!!!!!

Snow Canyon

Meet Gunner

This is our new dog Gunner! We went and picked him out yesterday at the local pound. He is 1 and a half and fully grown. They said he is a little lean so we need to fatten him up! We wanted a good guard dog for the new house. So we shall see how this goes!
We picked him up late this afternoon and so far he's been pretty good! We think he might have been an inside dog, cause during dinner he got a little upset he wasn't inside with us. So he turned his head a little and tore off the screen to the slider. Not so good. Let's hope I'm not ready to return him by the morning.

Grand Canyon and Monument Valley

We decided to finally take a trip out to the Grand Canyon! We have talked about it for years and we finally had time to do it! So we started out 10 day trip with the GC!
We spent the night in Beautiful Flagstaff and then headed out to see the beauty of this BIG canyon. It was truly HUGE and beautiful and of course AMAZING! I was a nervous wreck the whole time though having the kids there out by the cliffs. We made it out safely though! Their were so very crazy people that were way too willing to put their lives on the line for a photo. Not us! We are really happy we went and are now able to check it off our list!

This is Monument Valley. It was a pretty amazing sight! These HUGE rock formations pretty much appear out of NOWHERE after you drive for hours and hours seeing nothing else! Chris likes to watch old John Wayne movies and heard about this place. So after the Grand Canyon we drove here and then onto Moab and SLC!
