Be Ambitious

This was after the shots she had on her birthday visit to the doctor.
The rest of these are dumb shots we did while wasting time to pick Nate up from school.  Don't feel bad if you don't want to look through the rest of this post.

We made a trip out to Utah to try and find a house in a weekend. It was definitely NOT fun, but we were so excited to reach that milestone together after 11 years of school.  We had a lot of stress while visiting Logan and decided to take a trip out to Bear Lake while we waited for a counter offer on a house.
Although the time of year wasn't peak tourist season it was beautiful.  We loved the cool wind and next to no humidity.  It was so refreshing.


What's that white stuff on the ground?  They told us it was called "snow."

We left Logan with high hopes for a house to come through.  It felt like one of the most adult experiences we've had yet.

The second most important part of my trip to Boston was the food.  We are all about the food.   Christ took us all to this amazing restaurant that did all kinds of Asian foods.  We had a hot pot soup that was amazing.
There was a veteran sitting at the other table with his family.  They shared an American flag with us and we posed for a group photo.  Not a terribly bad looking family.  :)
We also went out for seafood that night.  I don't get too much seafood for a couple reasons.  We're now landlocked where we live and I don't trust the freshness.  Also, Robert's shellfish allergy really puts a cramp on my seafood style.  The clam chowder was huge and they served it in a bread bowl.  Anyone who can finish it off in one sitting is my hero!
If you look really closely you'll see three desserts sitting in front of me.  They were not all mine.  I swear!  When I go out to eat with my parents, I think my dad especially, gets a kick out of how much I can eat.  Also, I feel like eating out with family in fun cities could be a once in a lifetime event.  When will you all be together again eating from the same menu?  I say seize the moment and try all that you've never tried before.  So we do, and I did!
It was all very good!  I really enjoy visiting with my family.  Especially around a table.  Something magical happens when you get a lot of Kunz's around a table.

Since we were in Boston, we decided to take in some of the sights of that beautiful, historic city.  I only wish that Robert could have been there because he loves this stuff.


 I really liked going aboard the U.S.S. Constitution.  Other than eating cannoli's at Mike's Pastry and going to Fenway, it is probably my favorite thing that I have done in Boston.





What is this cold, white substance all over the ground?  Oh how much I have forgotten while living in Houston (Logan is going to be a cold, rude awakening!).


This was a picture I got from Robert while I was in Boston on one of the evenings Robert had to "cook".  I am sure the kids were not too disappointed that they had to go with daddy to Subway.

Happy Birthday to our sweet Scarlett.  You bring so much to our family and we are so blessed that you are part of it.

Nate and Scarlett developed a love of going outside to have a "picnic".  It usually would include taking out backpacks full of books and toys.  I cannot express the joy I experienced watching my kids, if only for a moment, spend quality time together without fighting.


During the NBA basketball season, a frozen yogurt store called "Menchies" had a deal that you got free yogurt every time the Houston Rockets won.  Lucky for us, the Rockets were pretty good and won a lot of games.  I am ashamed to admit (well not really) that we went every time they one, and we ate a lot of frozen yogurt during this time.



 My parents went to South America and they brought these handmade beanies back for the kids.  Not very appropriate for Houston, but they will come in handy when we get to Logan!


Scarlett's last Valentine's Day party with the playgroup in our ward.


 Nate, like his dad, refuses to grow up at times and give up toys that are no longer age and size appropriate.  He ended up getting stuck in this car.
