Utah Trip / Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, the kids, Grandma Twitchell, Autumn and I drove out to Utah. We went to see Alicia and her Adam because they were moving soon to Tennessee. As an added bonus, my Adam made the drive from Fort Huachuca to see us. It was a full week of visiting family, Thanksgiving and see the Temple Square lights. It was a lot fun and the time with Adam went to quick, as usual. Austin was Adam's little shadow the whole week. He's missed his daddy.

Oakland Zoo

Adam is leaving soon for Fort Huachuca, so we decided to go on a family outing to the Oakland Zoo. It was a really nice zoo. Elaina discovered that her favorite animal is a zebra and Austin liked the giant orange frogs the most. Elaina also got to see the "Lion King" and then told us all about his baby Simba and the mean lion, Scar. It was a good time.

Moving... Again

Moving... again. Moving is something our little family is very accustom to, I figured it out and in the five years Adam and I have been married we have moved 12 times and since Elaina (who is 3) was born we've changed locations 10 times. Our longest at a location was 15 months and our shortest was 3 months. 3 of our moves, Adam has lived in a separate state as the kids and I. (I do not count his moves as separate from ours.)

This last place, Thorneberry Apartments, has been the first time that we have lived in our own place since Elaina was born. We really enjoyed it! We made some great friends and really enjoyed the ward and our apartment. Now it's off to California for the kids and I, and Adam is off to Fort Huachuca in Arizona to go through military intelligence school. We are really hoping our move after this one will be a little more permanent.

Austin was not too keen on the whole packing thing. He did not like me packing things up and many boxes had to be packed multiple times because he would undo them. Often Austin would disappear and I would find him in an empty box or the cupboard. Silly little boy!


Moving... again.
