A lot has happened since, well, October. In response to recent requests (or demands :)), 

here's the rundown:

 First, we're expecting our third little King (or queen)! Second, Ben's job changed, a lot. An opportunistic job in Twin Falls, Idaho presented itself. The end of January we sold our first home and moved to Twin Falls. In the meantime . . .

We hosted our first Thanksgiving. In fact, this was our first Thanksgiving with familysince we got married. Mmmm, makes me hungry thinking about it! 

We went sledding (despite what you think about New Mexico, we did get snow about an hour away).
Ben stuck  Levi on a tube and sent him down the hills-  Levi loved it.

We rode the Polar Express in Durango, CO.

And of course, celebrated Christmas! 

Ben got into duck hunting
(yes, those are ducks hanging in my garage).
Levi would pull us to the garage to look at the "quack-quacks". So sad (although they tasted surprisingly good).

The boys have learned that it is fun to ride Ben together. What a good dad!

Then we moved to this cute yellow house in Idaho
(which is, conveniently, Dayton's favorite color. He's super proud). 

So, to wrap it up- Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Valentines from Twin Falls!

Hello out there! Sorry for the lack of bloggage lately- after months of computer breakdowns, we finally broke down and got a new one. So, yes, we are alive and I promise to keep you updated, at least now and then.

Halloween!

(We were actually going for the super hero theme, but Levi screamed bloody murder when I tried to put on the superman costume; however, he did make a pretty cute frog)

Trick or treating was CRAZY here! This is a pretty bad picture, but I was trying to capture the  endless amounts of cars parked along our normally quiet street- getting in and out was like parking at a BYU football game. We were out doing some trick-or-treating ourselves, but our neighbor said he gave away almost 500 pieces of candy! We were home for 5 minutes and gave away 20 pieces. I guess the kids from the reservation ride buses into Farmington and they drop them off at a big church near our house. Everyone else drives in (as you can see)

This is my super-scary zombie sister who danced for the youth Odyssey team in Thriller


So, we've been traveling a lot lately- Ben's job is going to change quite a bit in January and only 1 of the current 13 CRNAs is staying. So, we went to Twin Falls, Pueblo, and Coos Bay for job interviews only to decide on working at the surgery center here in Farmington. We did have some fun trips though!

 Dayton came home a chef one day and now wants to help cook all the time. 

Levi- always coming up with something!

Lake Powell Time!!!

After 5 years and two kids, we finally made it back to Lake Powell- and she was greatly missed!

I thought I'd let the pictures do the talking- Lake Powell is the BEST! Thank you to the Newmans for inviting us. The boys were great, the weather was great, the food was great, the water was great, and the company was GREAT!

Dayton's Birthday and other stuff

After months of telling people "I'm two, but I'll be three on my birthday", it's here. Dayton turned 3. We sure love this boy! He loves any sport, particulalry baseball and golf. He loves learning and is into letters and their sounds right now. He's a great big brother and is the sweetest son. We sure love this handsome dude! For his birthday he had a baseball AND golf cake (at his persistant request) and got to go golfing on a real course (also his request) with mom and dad. Happy Birthday! Check out these superboys (thanks Shari)!

So big! He can even dress himself . . .Dayton holding the Oberg's new bunnyAs for the "other stuff", we just got back from a trip to Utah. We were so lucky to be able to go to Amelia's baptism. She looked so beautiful and the boys loved watching her be baptised (Levi was hoping he could dive in).
The next big event was a broken arm and another Sunday at the urgent care. It wasn't a very exciting story, which we may have expected from our daring little Levi. Instead, he slipped on the bathroom floor and hardly cried. When he tried to crawl, his arm kept collapsing. It was so sad. He doesn't seem to mind the cast much. He's mastered what we now call the "gorilla crawl". Other highlights included catching lots of fish with Grandpa ClingoGoing to Hogle Zoo with good friendsAttending my sister, Brooke's, dance competition. She did awesome on her solo, being awarded with gold and earning a "JUMP" scholarship!Hiking with our much-missed Buffalo DaytonsPlaying baseball on a "real" diamond, of courseSpending the day with Rachelle and Luke- we love little boys!Miniature golfing (and catching snakes) with Aunt CassieGoing to one of my best highschool friend's wedding. Congrats Brielle!It was a fun-filled, wonderful trip! We loved seeing everyone!

We got back on Sunday, assuming Ben had to work on Monday. Well, due to a slow day he came home at 7 AM! So we decided to get check out the Chacoan ruins south of Farmington.

It was amazing to see the remains of such a large and industrious culture. There were petroglyphs, pictographs, and obviously the structures. We were the only people on the tour with kids and were doing really well until Dayton ended up in an ant hill. I think he got a few bites and refused to do anything but be carried after that. He kept saying, "lets go to the hike with a train- those ants weren't very nice".

Now, we better get back to work . . .
