Catching Up!

Wow! Where has the time gone? So much has changed since I last posted, I just don't even know where to begin!
I think I'll start with the week before Christmas.  We planned a trip back to Utah to celebrate Christmas with friends and family.  Clay and I had already made plans to have the girls stay here in Utah where they would go back to their high school after the winter break.  There were many reasons for this but the main one was because the school they were attending in Australia just wasn't a very good one. It was a few years behind what the girls had already learned in Math and science. Plus,  most of their friends were not coming back for the new school year because in year 10 the kids can graduate and most kids at their school would not be going on to year 11.  Crazy I know, but very true! We first planned on having the girls stay with Clay's mother, but after arriving we realized that her health was not very good, due to a recent surgery and it would also just be too far for the girls to drive everyday. So it was decided that I would have to stay with the kids in Utah while Clay would return to Australia.  We still had six month left on our lease with our renter of our house in Highland, so we found an apartment in Pleasant Grove, which is only about  a 15 mins drive away.  We will be here until June and then the plan is to move back into our home! I can't wait until June!
So that pretty much explains our situation and why we are back in Utah. 
Just after our return back to Utah, we were able to sneak in a visit with Mason. 
Boy has this kid packed on the weight! He is a little mini Luke in the making!

 Cody couldn't get enough time holding his little nephew.
. He has always had a soft spot for babies!
 Jessica and Mason

He was in such a good mood while we were visiting. What am I saying, this kid is always in a good mood! He has got the best and most laid back personality! It's only when he is tired or hungry that he gets a little cranky!

My heart just melts every time I see this picture!
The funny thing was I got to visit with him again a few weeks later and I swear he had gained another 5 pounds.  Like I said earlier he is a little mini Luke!

Mason is so adorable! I love those toothless grins!

I'm so glad you guys are back! But I hope Clay can join you soon! That would be so difficult to live apart. Hope it's not for long!

Finally a new post! Now if we could get Libby to do one also.

Mason is so darn cute!! I'm sure Cody loved holding him. That is really nice of nick and Erin to let you come so often to see mason.
