Seriously, even though he is a Dr. now he still acts like he's 8 yrs old, look at the delight in his eyes, love it!

This picture captures her personality perfectly!

Absolutely beautiful!

Well, since I last wrote, as some of you may have heard, we accepted a job with the government working for the Indian Health Services. We accepted a position in Yakima, Washington (Central WA). We have now been settled here for a little over a week and I still wake up every morning surprised to find that we really have moved here! Since I last posted, we have been very busy packing, spending time with family, moving, and getting settled. Packing was a breeze, since we just did it two months ago, so we had all the boxes labled and didn't even unpack everything because we had a hunch that we would end up moving again. We were sad to leave Las Vegas, but the last seven months has taught us that Las Vegas is not meant to be our home and I have not doubt in my mind that we were divenly lead to be here in this cute, quiet little town. Before leaving we spent lots of time with family, we went to see New Moon (totally, absolutely wonderful!), went to the Magical Forest, saw the lights at Ethel M Chocolates, and had a wonderful Thanksgiving with all of Ryan's family. We also made time to get some family photos done by a good friend, thanks Alexis! We packed up the huge truck and headed out, my mother in law Linda drove in the car with me and the girls, while Ryan drove the moving truck the whole way there. Three days later we arrived in Yakima. We have the cutest home! It was built 2 years ago and is in a really nice, established neighborhood. We have been really impressed with our ward, and there is a really good mix of young familes and established families in our ward. I feel so blessed that that we were given this opportunity to work with IHS and give us a head start in paying off our loans quickly and get some awesome experience. Ryan really likes it so far. Yakima is a really cute city. There are about 80,000 people who live here. So it is pretty good size, but compared to Las Vegas feels tiny. I am looking forward though to living in a small town and raising our kids here. We will miss all our family and friends in Las Vegas, but if your ever in the Northwest, come visit, we would be glad to have you!
