What other beautiful children would I want to share pictures of but my own? It has been a while since I have shared much, thought I would do a short update on family life. The kids are getting so big!
Here is Clayton wearing some of dad's clothes...
The most beautiful baby girl ever! Vivian doing what she does best (looking cute)!
OK, a couple more:
Aren't they beautiful? I don't think it is me being prejudice...
We have been busy moving into the new house we bought in Westpoint (I know some thought we dropped off of the face of the planet). The house is an 80's style rambler, in a beautiful quite neighborhood. The schools in the area are all new, and from what we hear very good (Clayton is only two so we have no first hand experience).
There are beautiful, mature trees in the yard, Trumpet trees grow along the front yard, a beautiful silver leaf maple in the back and a small leaf lindon in the back (the tree is medium sized, the name is small leaf lindon). I love the lindon as the tree has a beautiful spade shape. I love trees period, way better than cats! You only need to clean up after a tree once a year, cats on the other hand the clean up is nearly a daily requirement.
There are rose bushes planted around the home in the planter locations, as well as a couple of lilacs. Enough of the descriptions lets have a photo: 
We have a lot of plans for our new house and are hard at work making it our home. The yard is a bit overgrown and needs some work, and well the interior is a little dated (working on that too). Wish us luck as we work on making our new house our new home. Maybe, just some day, some of Anji's sisters might actually visit us in our new home...
I just had to share a few photos of home. We went down over the weekend to visit my parents and to visit Grandma Pedersen. Of course when ever we go down to Sanpete I feel like a big weight has been lifted from my shoulders and a calm peace fills my entire frame. Everything slows down and there is just time, time to think, to enjoy, to talk, to walk, to see, smell, hear, taste and feel the world that we live in. I tweaked a couple of these photos a little to give you a feel for what Sanpete is to me. It is hard to replace a whole array of senses with one (sight).
We spent some time at Grandma's helping her out. We cleaned out her food storage (some of which was older than I am) and preped the old chicken coop for winter by putting plastic. We also looked at the large pine that grows in front that sadly has cracked and is beginning to rot. We talked about how the world is changing and gossiped about the locals.
I took Clayton outside and he played with a strange ball grandma had while I took a few photos. The skys were so blue and the air is so clean. I'm sorry but salt lake city air is so dirty and putrid. The Sanpete smells are of pine and the undergrowth. Not the smells of car exhuast and stagnat salt lake water.
