THE DAYTON FAMILY

David has been working at a law firm in Almaty, Kazakhstan for the past couple of months. This past weekend, he was able to get a visa to travel to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. He visited a couple of our friends whom we hosted about 3 years ago when they visited Utah for a conference and then was able to visit our brother-in-law, Kevin, who is currently deployed in Bishkek. David had an awesome trip and was quite excited to get to spend time with Kevin. They had lots of fun together. David was especially excited because Kevin arranged for them to play basketball while on base. I think he also very much enjoyed sleeping on a regular mattress and eating good old American food. :) He said it was nice to experience a little slice of America while being so far away from home.

Taylor turned 2 last week!!! I can't believe that we have a 2 year old! I still feel like I just barely finished high school - except that I graduated from college more than 3 years ago - weird. Anyway, I don't know how he got so old so fast but he is still my sweet little baby boy. :) I threw him a pizza party with our immediate family - both the Daytons and the Petersons. It turned out really well. My favorite parts of his birthday were: Seeing him wake up to a living room of balloons 'boons', watching him open presents, and also showing him his cool ball cake. We are so lucky to have this sweet little boy in our family!!!
