Trevor and Burgundy were officially engaged this past Friday night at our cabin! You can read all about it at their new blog site http://www.burgsandtrev.blogspot.com/ The big date is February 12th in the Bountiful Temple. We are very excited to have Burgs join our family! The family is really starting to grow.
We celebrated Lexi's one month anniversay of arriving here in Utah to join our family. A great reason for Lexi and Derek to celebrate with an ice cream cake from DQ :)
It was FUN to have everyone home for Halloween weekend. Left to Right - Trevor and his girlfriend Burgundy, Ryan and his wife Ashlie, Shea holding "Jack", Lexi, and Derek.
Lexi was proud of the first pumpkin she had carved. Halloween is a new holiday for her to experience.
Lexi went on her first date to the Harvest Dance at Viewmont High School with Trevor Evans who is a good friend with Derek. It was just before Halloween and they dressed up as Pirates. She was a little nervous because of the language barrier but they had a great time. She was all smiles when she got back that night!
Lexi is holding her new dog she named Jack. He is a Schnoodle which is a cross between a Schnauzer and a Poodle. He's 8 weeks old and a BIG surprise given to Lexi by her Sisters Shea and Ashlie.
We showed Lexi and her friend Alisha how to ride ATV's. Lexi had never been on an ATV before. She was quite nervous at first but learned how to ride it by herself before long!
Lexi invited Alisha to spend the night at our cabin. Alisha was her best friend from Sumy Ukraine where they shared a room in the same orphanage for over 5 years. Alisha has been adopted by a family in SLC a year ago. They have really enjoyed seeing each other again after being apart for a year and a half.
Lexi decided to get her hair cut and colored the first week home. This picture was taken right after the haircut. She was very happy the way it turned out.
