California

Over the 4th of July we drove out to California to see the grandparents. It was Sabrinna's first road trip. It took us 12 hours to get there. She did wonderfully! We had a nice time relaxing and swimming. I was way excited to get a picture of Sabrinna with her great grandparents.

Simpson Springs

We went camping out on the desert with the family. Grandma and Grandpa Fotheringham joined us as well as Wayne, Cortney, and Tegan. Sabrinna got really dirty playing in the dirt so she got to take a bath in a plastic bowl. We did a lot of driving and saw some old cabins. We had lots of fun!

Sunday Dress

I just think that Sabrinna is so cute in this dress.

Fun in the City!

Steve is stationed at Fort Lewis right now and he was able to get a pass so that Sabrinna and I could go up and visit him. We flew to Seattle and were given the grand tour. Steve showed us all around Fort Lewis, where he works, lives, and does different training. We spent a couple of days in Seattle. We went on a cruise around Elliot Bay, went up the Space Needle, went to a couple of museums, we went to a Mariners baseball game and got to tour the Safeco Field before the game started. We also went to Point Defiance Park. It was beautiful there and we loved walking around. The park had different themes. They had a rose garden, a Japaneses garden, and a pond with lots of ducks. There was huge pine trees and ferns every else. It was very pretty. I was nervous about flying with Sabrinna but she did really well for a 9 month old baby. We all had a great time and were sad to see our vacation end.


(I will add picture later)

Newspaper!

As Sabrinna was learning to crawl she would play with newspaper alot. She will grab it and start waving her arms all around getting the paper everywhere. After a while she will start to rip the paper. Theora one night made a variety of hats for her out of the paper. This hat looks like something the Pope would wear.

Sabrinna also likes to make funny faces. She will make fish faces, suck her lips in to make a grandma face, and then she will also smile real big squint her eyes and bend her head back. It is so funny to watch her.

Strike a Pose

Sabrinna loves to wear any ones glasses. We put them on her and she will look around and smile real big. Of course it is short lived and then she tries to eat them. She's so cute!

Moving On...

We had a couple of busy days, to say the least. Following Steve's graduation we moved from Cedar City. We lived there for 2 1/2 years. It was always have a place in our heart. We moved in with the Hansen Family for a few months while we are getting adjusted.
About a week following our move Steve moved up to Fort Lewis, WA till August. He is the TOC Assistant Officer. Which means he sits at a desk and answers the phone and takes care of different problems that arise. Sabrinna and I are enjoying the time with family and working on crafts and other fun things.

SUU Graduation

The following day May 5th Steve had yet another big accomplishment. He graduated from Southern Utah University with a Bachelors of Art. He majored in Biology, minored in Military Science and almost minored in Spanish as well. (Thats why is a BA not a BS.) Once again all of his long hours of studying, writing papers, presentations, and labs has paid off.

ROTC Commissioning

Steve has spent the last four years going to a wide variety of classes, labs, Ranger Challenge competitions, FTX's and much more. All of it working towards commissioning as an officer in the Military. On May 4th he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army. He was awarded the Distinguished Military Graduate award. This is only given to the top 20% of the cadets in the nation. He was ranked about 500 of 4,000 cadets. He is branching medical service and has started his active duty service . We are very proud of Steve and all the hard work, time, and effort he has put to achieve such an honor.

South Korea

Life has an interesting way of being funny. We have been waiting for months to find out where we would be sent for Steve's duty station. We thought Colorado or Texas. We got thrown a fast ball and found out its South Korea. We were both a little scared at first but as we have done research about the country we have become very excited for the adventure.

Legacy Estates

Steve and I have been talking about buying some sort of real estate for a while now. Once again we bit the bullet and bought some land. We got a lot in Enoch Utah. In the Legacy Estates subdivision. Its lot #75 on the corner and is 1/2 an achier. We are one of the first to buy in this new subdivision. We are excited for the prospect of making a little money so that when we settle down we can have a down payment on a house.

New Couches!

I have wanted to get some new couches since we got married. It took us two years to finally give in and get them. We got a sofa and matching love seat. I was way excited and have really enjoyed having them.
