Mr.Sneaky Pants


I was in the kitchen cleaning and notices I didn't hear my little Finn so I went to find him and he was standing in his draw taking out all his clothes. I asked him to take a pictures for Daddy and he smiled and was so proud of himself!! 


Sunny Days

The weather here in AZ has been beautiful but we can tell the summer is on it's way. We've been trying to get as many family hikes in before the heat hits us! 






A sweet girl in my ward had a egg hunt at the park for all the kiddo's!




 The Saturday before Easter Brian's school had a big Easter egg hunt and the Easter bunny showed up and Finn thought he or she was kinda of wird! 



My friend Kara invited us to the Phoinix Children's Museum. It's a really cool place where the kiddos can run and play. 

Finn ridding the motorcycle, he LOVE'S bikes just like his dada! 

Painting, Kari and I ended up with paint all over us but the kids had fun. 



There were some flat rocks the kids would wright on with water but not my kid he just wanted to drink the disgusting water!! I know it's so sick I had a sippy for him but he thinks he's Mili (our dog) and can drink from anything!




I try to get pictures with Finn but he's such a little turkey and never wants to take a picture with me.

This picture is my favorit picture because this was Finn's favorit thing at the museum. It was a room full of noodles hanging from the ceiling as soon as he saw it he made a ran for it!!  

Time is Flying by


I'm so bad about updating my blog and I told myself this year I'm going to do better so it's a little late but "better late then never". My parent came to AZ for Christmas, it was so fun to have them around. We didn't do much but talk, play games and cook. I took some pictures during the holiday I thought I would share.

First thing Christmas morning I woke up and had Finn put on his reindeer antlers, normally he just takes them right off but he must of forgotten about them because he had them on all morning it was so cute.

Christmas morning Finn was excited about opening his gifs which was wird because the week before when his Grandma Lehnhof gave him a gift he didn't care about ripping the paper open. I think he was a little confused because I told him not to touch the gift's so many times!


We loved having my parent around, we would really like them to move down here in the heat with us!

Our good Friends Kara and Jon invited us to go skiing with them in Flag Staff AZ. We were a little skeptical about skiing in Arizona and didn't expect a lot but we were surprised the snow was decent and the resort wasn't to bad either, and best of all we had good company!



We also took Finn sledding for the first time and we really thought he would like it because he loves going down slides he went down the hill a few times and then just wanted to pull the sled around. So much for sledding!



O Christmas Tree

We have attempted to start a family tradition this year by getting our Christmas Tree the day after Thanksgiving. We took some pictures and they totally remind me of my old childhood photos, strapping the tree on top of the station wagon! I love Christmas and the decorating, food, party's, and holiday spirit that go's with it!





Finn went to see Santa and wasn't to fond of him!





I know it's been a long time coming for this post. We had a great summer celebrating all of our birthdays, spending time with family and friends, a trip to Idaho for Finn and I and Brian in his rotations in full force.
Finn turned 1 on June 21, hand had a blast eating his monkey cake and playing with some friends and new toy




Finn likes cake!


Brian and I celebrated his first board exam is over and he passed!!


We visited California to see family and to take Finn to the beach.


Finn and I took a trip to Idaho to see my family and to get out of the heat. When we checked in to the airport my friend Carl was on the same flight, Carl helped me keep Finn from destroying the air plain, it was very nice to have him there and to see him!!
Finn has a brown teddy bear he sleeps with every night and he loves it and go's right to sleep when he has it. On my way to the airport I realized I forgot it. I was very worried he was going to freak when he was ready for bed so I told my mom this and she improvised and found this pink rainbow bright care bear for him. It wasn't his teddy bear but it work for the time being!

We had a family reunion in Island Park


We went to Jackson Hole

We did a trip through West Yellowstone and watched Old Faithful go off.

It was a wonderful summer and now were ready for it to cool off!

I See Light


I'm seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel! Brian has started his last quarter of his second year of medical school and will take boards (USMLE) and (COMLEX) in June and starts rotations in July. We are so excited for this change and for Brian to get out of the class room. His first rotation, (family medicine) will be across the street from our house.

Brian has been doing really well in school and works hard and is fully dedicated to medicine. I'm so proud of him, he's going to be an amazing Doctor!


Our little Finnabugs! He is 9 months this month and how he's growing like a weed. He's starting to be more interested in reading books and is curious about everything. I think he's going to be a flirt, he's always making funny faces and looks at you with his big blue eyes and sucks you right in!

He is crawling a little to fast for his own good, he get's bruises all over his head. My mom told me that I might want to take him in to get his eyes checked out, but when he started head banging his crib and the wall, I figured it wasn't a eye problem! As you can see he's a little wild in his crib!






Finn fell out of his bumbo and did a face plant into some Lemon bars
