Yes, we are alive...

I know it has been a long time since I posted, and according to our blog we still live in Idaho. Turns out that we moved (one of the reasons that I haven't posted in a really long time). When we finally got settled and all of our boxes unpacked and got back from our trip to Bear Lake, I realized I had no idea where the camera was (the second reason for no posting). I looked for weeks, through all of the storage through every nook and cranny and there was no camera to be found. I was bemoaning the fact to Steve, when he asked if I had looked in the suitcases... no... I hadn't, and so that's where it was. Now that I have my camera back, I'm all ready to update :)
Here is a picture of the beautiful 150 year plus home that we are living in. We share the house with a number of God's other creations (namely; mice, beetles, earwigs, spiders, mosquitoes, and more flies than you can imagine, even if you just moved from Jerome.) We also share the house with Mildred, who is the Ghost who inhabits the upstairs. I only put that in so that those of you who have lived in haunted houses can swap stories with us.

Just before we moved, we took a trip down to Las Vegas for a seminar for Steve. We moved in the middle of June and were in our new place for about a week, then we were off to Bear Lake for the Davis family reunion. When we got back from that Steve went full tilt in getting his new business set up, and I am proud to say he is finally to the point where he is treating patients... yes, it takes that long! This is Ethan at the Adventure Dome at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. He was too little for most of the rides, but he sure liked the kind you put the quarters in. We also spent a good amount of time swimming in the Lazy River at the Monte Carlo where we stayed.

We got to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. Ethan was so excited to go and kept asking when we were going to Oquirrh Mountain to touch the temple. He loved being in the temple and was surprisingly well behaved. He only attempted a couple of times to put his feet on the carpet that hadn't been covered. :) And little Chloe? She just keeps growing and growing and growing. When she grows she gets taller and chubbier and cuter :) Hopefully I'll be better about posting now that I have my camera back. Here is a funny video of Ethan. He has reverted to baby talk, especially around Chloe, and he has started making up his own songs, which is a weird Taylor trait. I'm pretty sure Lauren taught him this one :)
