Swearing In..

Last Monday I checked the littles out of school, grabbed Taylor, and rushed to South Jordan so we could see Reed get sworn in as Battalion Chief, and the rest of his crew to their respective positions. The kids had a great time, and as they all had cameras they resembled the paparazzi. We have no less than 10,000 photos of the event and some video if you are interested. I was able to pin his badge on, and was planning on a big kiss, but all I was offered was a very chaste cheek. Awesome. Afterwards they served cookies and punch, and then we were off to the other station for a delicious spaghetti dinner. We are so grateful for Reed's new job and the opportunities it presents, even if we have to leave our little comfort zone in American Fork. At least that is what we keep telling ourselves.

In case you were wondering, the house has been done for about a month, it is beautiful, we are moving soon, and No, we haven't sold our other house yet. Double Awesome!

Your family looks beautiful! What a memorable day. It is fun to see kids who are as proud of their parents as their parents are of them. We will also miss you. If you need any help let us know!
