We're Back!

Well, here we are finally after 3 months! Sometimes blogging makes me feel overwhelmed because I just want to add all of my pictures. Notice that I finally changed my blog background thanks to my sister in law Amber. I have no idea if the colors go, but there were so many color options that by the end I felt like I had just smelled like 50 bottles of perfume. Everything was about the same and all very strong! The colors are what they are. That is also the first family picture we've had in almost 4 years. Happy day!

Tonight me and Thomas were hanging out while the kids were taking a bath. For some reason everything was just making that boy laugh so I had to not only take like 10 pictures, but make that super cute video. Have I mentioned that I so so sooo much love this little boy? because I do!!!! Oh, and notice his curly hair! I can't believe my luck to have 2 adorable straight haired blondies, and then 2 super curlies. I love it!

Just because he is so handsome.

This is the first time I have ever braided Katie's hair like this and she was just so stinkin' cute that it definitely called for a picture.

I had to post the picture because of what Katie is doing. I had been feeding Thomas some cooked green beans and after I was done I went into the living room to find Katie devouring the remains. Most kids sneak treats.

This is how Thomas feels about cottage cheese...

and this...

and after the battle had been fought. (he won, no more cottage cheese...for now).

This is always a bitter-sweet moment for me. Here is my biggest baby getting ready for his first day of 1st grade. This year has been harder for me than kindergarten. Walking him to class I even had to fight the urge to hold his tiny little hand because he's a big boy now and doesn't need to hold his mommy's hand. He will still kiss and hug me, but I need to be able to let him be a big boy with his friends. Oh my broken heart. I just love this little boy. He is turning into such a good big boy. I picked a shirt for him on the first day that had a cool car on the front. He would have non of it! There was to be as little print as possible so that the could look cool. Yet another heartache to see him starting to be his own little self. It gave me a good chuckle for sure though.

Steve got to take the boys to Lake Powell for an annual trip with his family before Nicholas started school. They had so much fun! As a side note, notice Nicholas's eye looking a little out of sorts? He got stung by a bee on his eyebrow the day before they left and unless Steve kept his doped up with Benadryl his eye was as good as swollen shut. Poor little buddy. His comment after he got stung was "It's okay mom. The bee didn't mean to sting me." That's just the kind of nice little man he is.

Me and my best bosom friend Brittanie. She came all the way from Texas and we got to spend 2 glorious days together! We've been best friends since high school. Oh how I love her!

The Soter and West kids. (Does my couch ever have cushions on it?) This is the best we could do, but aren't they the cutest!?

This is Thomas and Brenan, Brittanie's handsome little baby guy. They weren't so sure about the camera.

Just a cute picture that couldn't be left out.

There isn't anyone who loves this baby more than his big brother Matthew. Whenever I lay Thomas down for a nap I am in big trouble if I don't let Matthew kiss him and say goodnight. First thing in the morning Matthew is right there to greet him. Sometimes he gives him a wee bit too much "tough love" but he always gives Thomas all the love his little heart has to give.

Thomas's first sink bath. I'm thinking it was a success.

Spiderman getting ready to suite up and bust some bad guys.

Awesome pose man! The only tricky is that it seems that whoever does Superman's laundry may have accidently shrunk his costume.

This is Katie's dress up of choice. Especially the shoes. She is a shoe freak! If I pick the wrong shoes for her she promptly takes them back and picks the ones she wants out of her drawer. And thus we enter the world of little girls.

Nice stained onsies, but he just got out of the bath and was off to bed. I can't help but take about 10 poses evertime I take his picture because this is always Thomas.

Littlest and Biggest!

I have discovered that Thomas thinks stuffed animals are the happiest little buddies he has ever seen. This is an automatic face when he gets handed a stuffed animal. Cute!

Funny things and other randomness...

Cute Katie and the elephant feet.

This picture doesn't do them justice, but this is what I affectionately refer to as Katie's Elephant Feet. Out comes the tom-boy again because this girl is in love with bugs. "Hi buggy!" We have lots of ants in the backyard and she loves to follow them around and just hang out with them. Unfortunately for her she is allergic to ants. She came in last night crying because her beloved buggies attacked. Thus today elephant feet. So sad, but so funny! I love that little girls quirky ways!!!

So my kids have the best daddy ever and earlier this week Steve up and decided to take Matthew camping, just the two of them. While they were gone I gave Nicholas and Katie a popcicle outside. The funny part about this picture is that Katie's popcicle broke and was all over the ground. I missed the moment, but I walked outside to Nicholas and Katie with their faces on the ground sucking up popcicle.

Katie brought me an apron the other day and wanted me to tie it on her so she could be a super hero like the boys. She is such a little tom-boy. I'm pretty sure no one is going to mistake her for a boy though.

We went up to Show Low to visit my mom for Mother's Day and while we were there the kids got to go to Uncle Josh and Aunt Amber's house. Behind their house is Amber's parents house and they have the most beautiful, fun backyard you've ever seen! They happened to be irrigating and so the kids stripped down and went on in! They had so much fun! On the side, I didn't get any pictures of me and the kids, or me and my mom and the kids, just the kids naked. Maybe next year?

This backyard is complete heaven for my kids! Everytime we visit Josh and Amber (my brother and sister-in-law) I feel like I need to live in the country where it's green and beautiful and SAFE! The kids had an absolute blast running around more than half naked.

After all the fun of running through the irrigation the kids chose up sides. The babies all went in the "baby bath". Aren't these the cutest little people!

This was the "big boy" bath. They even got the bubble bath with the jets. Awesome!

Matthew climbed to the top of their waterfall in his Captain Underpants.

My great-nephew Trenton (good grief that makes me sound old!) turned one and we were lucky enough to be in Show Low and got to attend his happy birthday! The kids were in heaven! My nieces and nephews were spoiling them and I am pretty sure Katie got at least 3 pieces of cake and I don't even want to think about how much ice cream Matthew ate. We spent the day with grandma too, which made the partying even better!

To go along with the picture below this one. These are the moments that warm my heart. See, they really have it in them to like each other. How cute that they are sharing a ring pop.

This is a moment that absolutely had to be captured because it was a moment that is completely few and far between. Anyone who knows Katie and Matthew knows that they are the best of friends, and the worst of friends (we're still working on the best of friends part).

Oh happy pudding! Normally I try to just wash the hands and face of a little grubby that has just eaten, but there was not a chance for this little thing. Into the "buddy" with her!! ( I love it, she calls her bath a buddy instead of a tubby!)

At the end of the year Nicholas's school does a Spring Sing. This is the kids standing outside, excited to go listen to Nicholas sing his cute little heart out.

Nicholas is the cute little buddy right under the teachers hand. It's great that he's the tiniest because he's always guarenteed to be front and center! He did such a great job and we were so proud of him. Katie loved it and Matthew was madder than a hornet that we didn't let him go up and sing with Nicholas.

Matthew the incredible "cheese head" Where the heck do kids come up with these ideas? They're hilarious!

Katie kept getting this particular shirt out of daddy's drawer the other day and so we let her sleep in it. It was a wee bit large, but so very snuggly.

A couple Saturday's ago we decided to make up for our lost annual Easter Egg hunt at Tonto Creak. It was so much fun. This is Matthew and Katie hangin' out in their awesome Bass Pro chairs. So cute!

This is what I affectionately refer to as the "Pee Pond". Matthew started the trend and I think that each little boy in attendance followed suit at one time or another. Don't swim in there!

Trying to roast hot dogs in a 5 bazillion degree fire. That baby was hot!!!

Nicholas the mighty (shaggy) rock hunter.

I couldn't leave out a picture of cute Katie and her cute belly in her cute swimming suit. It just wouldn't be right.

Isn't Katie so darn lucky to have such great big brothers to love her and make sure that she is 100% happy and comfortable! (She really is lucky because most of the time her brothers are the greatest, just not all the time).

Matthew forging new territory with Grandma Burke.

Happy Thomas (I'm tellin' ya, all this little boy does is smile and laugh. We love him!)

What a fine mess!

Matthew in Bernstein Bear Heaven!!! He loves these books. We are so close to having the entire collection!

How could I not include this picture? This one is for the grandma's that we miss and love!

Katie built this block tower all by her little 2-yr old self! We were mighty proud! (Laugh all you will about the dump-truck jammies. She'll get girlie ones someday, it's not like people watch her sleep!)

Thomas and Matthew are the very best of friends. Matthew loves Thomas to death and Thomas doesn't seem to mind one bit.

What the Soter's have been up to this month.

I don't know that anyone can love Thomas anymore than this little, big brother. Matthew doesn't really understand (at all) the meaning of the word soft, but he loves Thomas something fierce. When Thomas wakes up I try to sneak into his room to get a second to love on him by myself, but without fail Matthew hears me everytime and comes racing in "I want to kiss Thomas's head and say hi!" What a lucky little boy Thomas is to have such great brothers to look up to (and the sweetest big sister that ever there was).

This little boy is a reading machine! As a goal for school his teacher wants her students to have read 100 books by the end of the year. We got a bit of a late start, but Nicholas is totally into it and really wants to make the goal (not to mention he gets a "prize" that mommy and daddy have yet to come up with). He has read at least 40 books in just over 2 weeks. I'm tellin' ya, he's amazing! Just 28 more to go!

Katie and her pretty dress that I totally scored after Easter at Target. Gracious do I love their clearance!

Mr. Thomas and his friend, Mr. Worm

This picture is so completely adorable to me. My squeezy little adorable, buggy-eyed boy!

My boys after an Easter egg hunt at my brothers house. This picture had to be put in. Notice Matthew's smile pretty much doesn't change in any picture. Cheeze Wiz ought to be his nickname.

Daddy and the little friends. Happy Easter!

Me and my BEAUTIFUL babies (minus my sweet little Thomas).

Poor Thomas slept through just about the entire Easter Sunday (or at least the picture taking part). This is the best "group shot" I could come up with. It is most definitely not hitting Katie's spot. It is most definitely hitting the boys spots though. Teasing Katie? Oh happy day (mostly for Matthew)

My pretty pretty princess in her Easter dress.

I'm pretty sure there are not two more handsome boys out there.

What is the Easter season without Bass Pro. This store is heaven to my little boys (and my big boy Steve).

This is how Katie felt about the whole Bass Pro experience.

Look out Miami Vice (how did this sweet background happen? I don't know but I have one word for this picture...AWESOME!)

BLISS! This is the special Bass Pro Easter bunny and I am pretty sure Matthew could not have been any more excited if Santa himself had walked in just then.

I was waiting to get a friend with more talent (way more) to give Thomas his first haircut, but one day I just couldn't take it anymore and chop chop I went. I have to say I did a mighty fine job. (Just an FYI, Matthew is the photographer in this picture and he did a mighty fine job as well).

I must say that this is a pretty goodly amount of hair for a 3 1/2 month old.

Thomas's first big boy food. He did great!

While we were in Utah for conference this is the best I could come up with taking a picture of my kids when we attempted (and attempted being the key word) to get a picture of all the Soter grandkids. Poor Katie woke up sick the morning we got there and stayed sick until we went home. No fun!

We decided to take a picture of all the babies. This was as good as it was going to get. So cute though. I love it!

That is one handsome, happy little man in his chubby nakedness.

CHEEZE!

and CHEEZIER!

I was feeling plucky one day and decided to straighten Katie's hair. Man that girl has got it goin' on with her hair (and everything else). She has more body and bounce in one section of hair than I have on my whole head!

It's my party...

And I'll cry if I want to!!! Katie was having a rough go for a section of her party. I think it was some serious overload. Notice Matthew with his ears plugged. What a sensitive guy (I can't say that I blame him though. That girls got some lungs). Happy 2-yr old birthday to my sweet baby girl!

Katie and Daddy on her sweet 2 birthday.

This picture is hilarious because OOH is this girl mad at me. I put her in timeout for one of the first times. The good news is that she stayed put until I told her to come out 60 seconds later. Way to be super mom and take a picture of her at such a brutal time. Who could help it?

Thomas's super cool new toy! He has grown quite a bit since this posting and I find him often surprising himself with some good bouncing. Everytime he gets going he first gets a look of shock and then when he catches on to the great time he's having it's a look of glee! As you can see this toy was money well spent. He loves it! (gotta love Craigslist!)

Thomas's other new-found toy (and score! A permanent attraction)! This is my very favorite of all baby toys!! (his feet of course!)

This little man just lights up everything when he smiles. Ooh I just love him so much!

My poor Katie got so sick again. It seemed that for 4 months we probably should have just quarentined ourselved. My gosh was it possible to get sick anymore than we did. Poor sweet sis

Matthew's big #4, Thomas's Blessing Day and other fun happenings...

My boys on Thomas's special blessing day. These are some seriously proud big brothers and it was such a special day for our little guy. He got the best blessing and we had wonderful family there to support us.

Our sweet little Thomas on his big blessing day. Doesn't he just look so handsome! The boys were "helping him" sit up.

This is a picture of the boys on Matthew's birthday. We were lucky enough to have Sam and Jennifer and their kids here and so for Matthew's birthday we headed off to Jeeper's (we loved it so much last year that we had to do it again), and then we had a BBQ and of course cake and ice cream. I just love my little 4-year old Matthew. Our home wouldn't be complete without this sweet, adorable guy. I can't believe he's already 4. Time goes way way too fast for me.

Here's Susie Sassy chatting with her girlfriends.

The "adults" playing a serious game of Mario Cart WII!

So, Jennifer and I bought these Minnie Mouse shoes for Katie and Maggie at the Disney Store and they were so hilarious! They have a little bit of a heal to them and you should have seen Katie and Maggie stumbling all over the place, but in heaven with their beautiful, sparkly shoes.

The birthday boy and daddy.

This roller coaster couldn't help but bring smiles and laughs every single time.

Me and Katie getting ready to brave the roller coaster.

Me and the birthday boy.

Riding the bug. Fun for them, a day of sickness for mommy and daddy. Why does spinning and rides have to go together I wonder?

Happy Thomas again. His smile takes up his entire face.

The birthday boy bustin' the bumper cars. So fun!

Kyle, Nicholas and Katie zooming down the slide. Nicholas is such a good big brother. He took Katie down without even being asked.

I'm putting in this picture (much to Steve's dismay) for the benefit of Sam (seen in the background), Jennifer and Mom Soter. Downright hilarious!!!

Yet another great slide moment. Jake in heaven, Jennifer in...

There aren't many things happier than a boy and his birthday cake.

My sweet little princess and her fabulous hair.

Matthew wiith probably his top of the list favorite birthday presents. He feels super cool when he wears these sweet shades!

On one of the days our cousins were here we decided to head down to the lake. It definitely wasn't swimming weather for me, but kids seem to be immune to that and they had a blast!

Here's a picture of Steve in one of his happiest places, getting ready to go fishing.

Thomas was supposed to be going to sleep, instead he thought he would just lay there and smile.

Nicholas dancing a jig. Actually his goal was to wash one foot at a time in the lake and then hop back to the chair to dry off. Good idea, too bad it didn't work quite like he had hoped.

So, I know that everyone thinks their own kids are the cutest, but my gosh can I just tell you that this little girl is the most stinkin' cute little thing ever! I could not get enough of her in the little suit that hugs her in all the right places. Ooh! She is just downright pinchy!

Look at these handsome dudes! Notice the marker on Jake and Matthew. They thought they were being awesome by coloring their tummies. Pretty awesome!

What a stud boy!

We visited an old mining town just outside of Mesa while Sam and Jennifer were here and it turned out to be a pretty good time.

Matthew is my "potty holder". He will assume this position and over and over I will ask "Matthew, do you need to potty?" "No, I'm okay". Then all of the sudden it's sheer panic and the boys gotta find a bathroom right now. Who knows why he holds it to the death, but that's our Matthew.

Here is my little monkey boy doing his thing.

Katie and Thomas got a bit of the shaft on this wild west adventure. They didn't get out of the stroller even once. Quite the happy face for such a rip off. Thomas wasn't too fond of the sun in his eyes though, go figure!

Thomas with super cousin Kyle and Aunt Jennifer. Kyle was in heaven feeding Thomas and it was a great break for me.

This is a monumental event. Nicholas caught his first lizard after living in our house for almost 4 years now. Poor old lizard (he was definitely old because he didn't have much give left in him), Nicholas loved that lizard right to death and even beyond. After the fellow finally gave in and died it still took another couple of hours to convince Nicholas that he wasn't just taking a nap.

Thomas doing what Thomas does best...SMILING!!!

Super awesome dudes just chillin' on the bed.

The kids having a mock sleep-over on the trampoline, jammies, blankets and all. Too bad we had to lug everything back in the house for bedtime. They were pretty bummed when I busted their bubble and told them they coudn't sleep outside for reals. What a mean mom!

Matthew hitching a ride at the park with his cute little girly friend Jersi. She is our next door neighbor and best little buddy.

Katie doing what Katie loves best...COLORING! Anyone who has been to our house, specifically in the toyroom, knows just how much she loves to color (our walls are fantastic!)

Smiley Thomas and Grandma Soter

Random, (and not in any order) but SUPER CUTE pictures

Here is my Mister Thomas. He is the happiest, sweetest little guy ever. All of the family is in love with this little man. He's a handsome, happy, hairy Soter boy and we are so blessed to have him!

Is this not so darn cute! He was wide awake, no gas involved and smiling like crazy. This was at 4 weeks old. He is the smiliest baby I have ever had. I love it!

I"m not sure what he was thinking here, but I have to imagine it had something to do with stress.

The boys got super cool bikes for Christmas and because on Christmas day all rules are off (within reason obviously), they got to ride them in the house all day.

Katie on Christmas day with her new pretty jewelry and her new baby and stroller. Once again to my dismay I found her baby dumped out of the stroller numerous times. She sees no need, but dang it, if I have anything to do with it she's going to find a need for her babies.

Thomas all ready for church (don't worry, his hair did get a comb after that). Me in the background, not so ready for church.

What a little sneak with his hand. What a cute picture though.

The kids on Christmas Eve.

Here's my boys (minus Thomas).

Here's the Baby Jesus in our nativity. What a handsome boy!

For Christmas this year we stayed home alone and so Christmas Eve we went solo. We decided to start a nativity tradition with our kids and so here's a bit of the action. The sheep decided to hitch a ride on the shepard.

This is the boys "bowling" with the Wii. It was so fun that they were able to play. Nicholas was pretty darn excited about his strike.

This was one of our Christmas break activities. Call me lame, but it's the first time I've ever let the boys loose with paint. They loved it!

Thomas's first tummy time. This was the beginning so he was doing pretty good. Let's just say it's not his favorite thing.

I am in love with cabbage patch dolls. It's a wonderful childhood memory and what can I say I am reliving my childhood through Katie. Imagine my joy when for the first time she played with her very own cabbage patch doll.

Imagine my disappointment when instead of being tender with her baby, Katie decided to take the monster truck and drive it on the babies head. So sweet. She doesn't spend much time in close contact with Thomas.

Sour and Sweet

Thomas and the monkey.

I love his sweet little serious face. I swear this boy looks like he could be Matthew's twin at this age.

Nicholas loving every minute. Thomas, not so much.

Oh, he is just so darn sweet and cute to me!!!

Here they are with their beloved Santa. (who knew Santa wore such sweet glasses).

This is the boys at Bass Pro. That is just about the coolest store ever. We have definitely added that to our To Do list for Christmas. The boys got to shoot a crossbow, make a candy cane reindeer, drive a remote control car, see the huge fish and sit on Santa's lap. It was great!

Is that a sweet face or what!!!

Here we are with the finish work of our gingerbread house. I promise that we do include Katie and Thomas in things. They were just sleeping.

This is the boys with our annual gingerbread decorating night. Good job guys!

The dream continues for this little boy. Can I tell you that Matthew sure loves "his baby". What a good big brother (aside from all the times I have caught him trying to launch Thomas out of his bouncy chair. We won't count that).

Introducing Thomas Kyle Soter!!!

I have been meaning to post on my sweet little Thomas for a long time, but it's been kind of bitter-sweet for me. Thomas Kyle Soter was born on December 1st at 8:31 in the evening. He weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 19 inches long. He is now 2 weeks old and has since gained a good deal. He is definitely a fan of meal time. He is the sweetest little blessing in our home and we love him so much. He is definitely our sweet in the midst of some bitter. The morning that Thomas was born my sweet dad passed away after a 6 1/2 year fight with kidney disease and dialysis and finally a painful fight with bone cancer. I loved him so much and he is so very missed. December 1st will always be a tender day for me. My sweet Thomas was sent to us brand new by my dad who was able to be there to send him down. I feel very grateful for this tender experience.

This was me and my dad on my wedding day. This will forever be a treasured picture for me. I miss him.

This is me the day before I went to have Thomas. Maybe you're thinking that I don't look too big (or maybe you're not), but I can tell you that this picture perhaps does not do my belly justice.

Thomas and his proud daddy. So cute!

Here we are with our sweet new little Thomas.

Matthew was completely in heaven holding Thomas for the first time. He's been asking to hold "the baby brudder" for 2 months now and this was his magic moment!!!

What a handsome little man with his handsome little brother. It's crazy to think that Nicholas is the biggest brother of 4! Good grief, I have 4 kids!!!

The kids loved coming to visit Thomas. As you can see Katie was a little curious/unsure about the whole situation.

Here's to November

I found this picture at the last minute and I just love it. This is me and my dad.

Here we are in the months of October/November. This is the happiest time of year. I don't know about you, but I am way in the thick of Christmas music and if I don't get my Christmas decorations up tonight, it will be happening tomorrow night. I am not usually this punctual with Christmas stuff, but since I will have a newborn and who knows how that's gonna be I thought I would get a good head start. I am not officially 2 weeks and 3 days away from my due date. Sorry about no prego pics yet, but they will come. I just realized today that my camera is not working, which could have something to do with Matthew dropping it yesterday. Bummer! I am determined to get at least one good prego shot (since it's definitely a sight to behold) and when I do it will get posted for sure! Happy Thanksgiving/Christmas!!!

Nicholas's school has an annual fall picnic for the families. We got to go meet with Nicholas and even eat at the cafeteria. Matthew was pretty excited about that. Nicholas loved having us at his school to show off everything. It was good fun!

Here's my little giraffe.

Here are the kids getting ready to do some serious trick or treating. Poor Katie was having a hard time keeping her costume out of her face, but she was one cute giraffe.

This is Spider Man with his cousin Brookie getting ready to go trick or treating. Is that not the sweetest pose ever! (It's actually just Nicholas).

I couldn't resist putting this picture in with her Oh so Cheezy smile. Gotta love it!!!

FHE during the month of October is always fun. This was our pumpkin carving night. As you can see Katie is in bed as usual. We missed her, but sleep is better for tiny girls. The boys had fun (despite the look on Nicholas's face).

Daddy and Maff with his SCARY pumpkin!

Nickelby and his SCARY pumpkin!

It was a creepy night. The boys were feeling in the mood to be a little creepy with their face making. I was pretty impressed.

Aaah!!! Don't worry, as scary as this picture may be, it's only my 5-yr old Nickelby.

Here are the kids just before the trunk or treat. So fun!

I didn't have a costume for Katie yet and my brother invited us to his trunk or treat so Katie got to be a little farmer girl. I thought the whole look turned out mighty cute. I love the freckles!

Here's us with our finished annual ghost house FHE. Once again Katie didn't make it staying up this late so we have left her out. Poor little thing. We still love her though! Luckily my mom was staying with us so we had help with the picture.

We did it! The house looks great! Fancy faces if ever there were fancy faces to be seen.

The boys very intent on the positioning of the candy. Doing great boys!

Nicholas figured that there was probably too much candy for the house to handle so he thought he would make things easier for the poor house by eating some (a lot) of it.

Matthew was especially helpful is making the house as you can see.

Could these boys be any goofier or CUTER for that matter! They busted these poses all by themselves.

That is one handsome little man! His next goal is to be a photographer. I am always finding him with the camera and he either wants to take pictures of me or have me to pictures of him. What a guy!

Katie cozying up with her Halloween bat from Grandma Soter.

Here's my sweet little big girl Katie. Hot stuff!!!

This is a picture of my kids with their Grandpa Burke. This picture is especially tender to me because as most of you know my dad has very bad health. My kids think that Grandpa Burke is wonderful and it cheers him so much to have his grandkids around. We just wish we lived closer. I would love to be around him more with my kids.

Here's Katie getting loves from Grandpa Burke. She loves him so much and as you can see the feelings are mutual. So sweet!

This may look just like a typical spray bottle, but oh no. Not so at our house. Katie and Matthew and Nicholas all think that this is a water bottle. What luck for me when they need a drink and turn to the bottle instead of their mom every now and again. (well doesn't that last phrase sound just wonderful. We are not talking alcohol!)

I guess if you don't know what I looked like when I was a baby this doesn't mean much to you, but I have a picture of me, in this very nightgown, with curly hair looking like her twin. Katie is definitely my child and what a lucky mommy I am!!!

Grandma & Grandpa Soter came for General Conference weekend and we had so much fun! The kids love them so much! We love it when they come to visit. We get to go visit them in December for Christmas. Yeah!
