Can you believe it? We have been in Arkansas for exactly 1 year today. I didn't believe it until I really started counting the days and looking at the calendar. The year has definitely been full of fun adventures and a lot of changes. Here are a few:
- Arrived in Arkansas on December 3, 2006.
- Closed on the house on December 5, 2006.
- We found out we were prego with #3.
- Tanner started and graduated from Preschool.
- We took the kids on their first airplane trip back to Utah.
- Brynlee turned 2.
- Tanner turned 5.
- Tanner started Kindergarten.
- Kade was born.
- Bryn is potty trained!!!
- We have made some really good lifetime friends. We are not sure where we would be without them. Thank you Hoopers!
- We have experienced the lights in Bentonville square. (Bentonville's version of Temple Square. It is really quite humorous, they even have a horse drawn carriage. It's my goal to get pictures of it this week to post. I think all those who have experienced SLC in December will get a good laugh.)
- We have taken a trip to Branson MO to experience an "Osmond Show". And learned to really dislike narrow, winding roads.
- We have learned to appreciate family. Our little family here as well as our family far off. Thank goodness for Vonage or else those long distance bills might put us in the poor house.
- We can almost add "Thank you for sending us to Arkansas." in our prayers at night.
- And just today, to celebrate the day, we took the kids to Build-A-Bear Workshop. It has been something they have been wanting to do for quite a while and I thought it might be a fun way to celebrate the day. Here are some pictures of our most recent fun adventure.

Congrats on surviving one year here! Did you purposly choose a blue and white cheer outfit for Brynn's bear or did that just happen?! You crazy BYU people! By the way- I can't move and it's only been 2 hours!!
Two hours sonce we did lunges- I forgot to add that little part to my sentence!
we love build a bear! it is so fun! and we finally have enough (aka way too many) of the animals so the kids are fine to just get an outfit or something when we go! they have the cutest holiday stuff too!
It seems like you have been gone for more than a year. I miss you guys so much. It looks like the kids had fun at build a bear!
I can't believe it has been a year! I miss you!
Moving away from family is quite the adventure and I'm glad you guys are having a good time out there. I just realized I don't have your new address. Can you email it to me? cdenney92@yahoo.com
I forgot to tell you about the SPAM thing. At the bottom of my blog I have blogpatrol and sitemeter. I can't decide which one I like more yet. It tells you what IP's are visiting your site. You can time it up with the comment to see what IP visited you at what time and blogpatrol allows you to block IPs. Unless you have the IPs memorized you don't really know who is visiting your site all the time but it still helps.
Amy,
I need your address so I can send you guys a Christmas Card. I'm sure Elliott has it somewhere, but I figured this would be faster than waiting for him to find it. So...could you email it to me. My address is camillephillips@gmail.com.
Thanks.
Hello?! You need another post- what do you think your busy or something?!
