Esti's First Tooth!

Well you may not be able to see this, but one is breaking through on her bottom left side.  This explains why she's been a bit fussy the past couple days.

Phoebe

My good friend from New York Rachel  was able to finally adopt her little girl Phoebe after years of waiting and dealing with "red tape" in China.  Her family came to Utah this summer to have Phoebe sealed to the family for eternity in the Bountiful Temple.  I was so happy to be able to witness this.  
(I'm sacrificing a bad photo of me cause it was the only one with all our eyes open!)

Family Time

We still can't get over how enjoyable it has been to be close to family.  It's been such an exciting and special treat for us and the kids to have so many opportunities to connect, which is something we didn't do very often alone in New York.

Cy loves to spend time with Grandpa Tom who has so many interesting stories being a "real" cowboy, a smoke jumper, and a wonderful chef and gardener!

Drill Golf Classic

We thought when Madison decided to quit Ballet West we would finally have a break from the 6 days a week dancing...not so.  She is on the Drill team now and seems to be dancing just as much this summer, but she loves it  and has made some wonderful friends.  This past weekend they held a fund raiser golf tournament that Mike, my brothers and a friend participated in.  They had a great time and looked pretty hot (in more ways than one) playing golf!

Cutest Baby Ever

I'm not sure if it's the photographer or the model, but I think this is the cutest baby of 2011... thanks Ann Stucki for the amazing pictures!  Here's a sneak peek of Esti

California Love

It's been years since we've visited the west coast so we decided to take a family trip to Solana Beach.  The kids had such a great time playing in the ocean (minus the sting rays and sand sharks....yikes).  We even visited with some of our relatives and Madison participated in a surf camp.  I think this is a vacation we will be taking every year as long as we are here in the west!
