Announcement!

We have an announcement!



We are moving to Logan, UT!
I bet you thought it was something like we were have another baby.  

Brandon has been officially accepted to Utah State's Mechanical Engineering grad program.


He has also has been blessed to receive a Research Assistantship.  This is where he works with a professor doing research on a specific topic.  His topic will be the feasibility of using nuclear fusion reactors in the future. He's actually pretty excited about it. Which is good because he'll be doing that for the next two years as he gets his Masters.

We are super excited for it and know that it's an answer to many prayers.  In other good news Brandon also passed the FE Exam.  Which happens to be the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam.  This is an eight hour engineering exam. :(  This will open up some opportunities in the job field but it will also give him the opportunity to take the PE (Professional Engineering Exam) which really will help a lot in the job market. He took it back in October and we found out that he passed it the same day we found out about the Assistantship.

Now enough talk, here are some pictures!

This happens often in our house.

Discoveries!

These last few weeks have been full of new discoveries at our house.  Here are a few:

 We tried peaches, prunes and rice cereal.  She loves the peaches and doesn't mind the cereal... the prunes, well, we're working on those. :)
She does love Popsicles though.  Mostly she loves food.  She has gotten to the point of trying to take the food out of your hand and feed it to herself.  She also like saltine crackers.



She LOVES her toes and blowing raspberries.

And someone learned how to roll!

We also got new flowers from Grandma Lee for Christmas... They are pictured here:





And finally Grandpa Nelson made her a hat!
