It's Official!

The boys say good-bye to their fort!
Way to feed the workers-Sugar them Up!

We did it! This is the BIG MOVING DAY! Our family was there bright and early to lend a hand. I think we may have broken the world record for the fastest move in history. From the first box on the truck to the starting of the engines was two hours TOTAL! Thanks to the the Fam, Elders, and all our friends for the help. We never could have done it without you! There were lots of tears, in fact we didn't stop crying until Desert Center, but we were leaving such a big piece of US out in Blythe! We have grown more than we ever imagined and we know that it was indeed a blessing to have lived there. We are already missing the little gem in the desert and all of our AWESOME friends that made the place that way. We'll be back soon. Leave the light on for us!

Rock On!

The VanHornes

Brad's a natural. Cade decided to dress up for the occasion!

All the newbies in the Band did awesome!

But no one could beat Julia the Drummer Goddess!

The VanHorne Posse threw us an AWeSoME going away party complete with Oscar's carne asada and cute little decorations with the letter M on every cupcake! Julia you can't be beat on your party planning! Thanks so much for an awesome way to end our time here in the 'hood! Rock Band Marathon was the Best! Keep up your mad skills in drumming and as for me, Penny Twilight, I'll try to challenge myself to move the skill beyond EASY!

Love you all!

There will NeVEr be another neighborhood like this! We will miss you more than you know.

Nice Wheels!

I can't believe it! It's really happening! We are moving! It's the Final Countdown!

Bring out the Mariachi Band!

The Infamous Invitation! (thanks Ger)

He looks like he was getting a little emotional....yeah right, probably a little jalapeno in his eye. Love the cake right?

Seriously.....A taco truck!

His oh so authentic family! Love the sambraro and our little son, Nacho Libre.

Lovin' on some friends!

What a Fiesta! Anyone who knows Bryce knows his famous quote, "Murrills don't go to Mexico!" But he never said Mexico couldn't come to the Murrills! I thought it would be great to surprise him with a Fiesta complete with a taco truck and all for his big 3-2! There were over 100 people there, including the Border Patrol! We had a blast! Gracias to all who came to celebrate! Feliz Cumpleanos Babe! We love you!

Give us this day our daily bread....

Pulling out the beautiful bread! It even smelled better than it looked!

Sweet Sister John shared her wisdom and love by teaching me to bake bread from scratch.

Just for the record, now I know why the saying is "daily bread." It is so good, that you can't help but eat it all in a day! Thanks to my dear friend Jessica and her sweet mother, I learned how to bake bread from scratch! I ground the wheat, mixed it up, let it rise, let it rest, pounded it, patted it, practically prayed over it, all for the beautiful end result of an overwhelming feeling of accomplisment and deliciously delightful bread! Thank you Sister John for sharing your wisdom, and thank you Jessica for sharing your mom. Love you ladies.

Oh so Handsome

The BTBB Fam was asked to give talks in Church, ALL of us! The boys looked sharp and sounded even better. We are so blessed to have the Gospel in our lives.

B-Rad Rocks!

The Big Show!

Check out the concentration! Andrew looks calm and collected.

Mr. Cool! Notice the shirt.....it's genetic.

Brad and Andrew were in the school talent show this year. They rocked a little Metallica, and by a little I mean about 1 min and 10 seconds. The crowd went WiLD, or maybe that was the groupie section (the proud mamas) but anyway, they did great! Keep on Rockin'

Grandma would be so proud of her great-grandboys.

In her younger years. Isn't she beautiful? Her sweet Bible, very well worn.

My Grandmother was taken home by the angels on Christmas Day. These past few months have stirred so many feelings and memories. This past weekend we celebrated her life with love, laughter, and tears. We love you GG! God be with you 'til we meet again.

See what happens when you eat your Spinach!

Yes, it's true. Popeye was right all along. Check out those guns!

Whew....what a day!

It must have been quite a day!

The Birthday Star at Chuck E. Cheese.

I can still pick him up and squeeze him tight.Thanks for the funny shirt Uncle Scott!

Grammy's boy!

Breven was quite the trooper this year for his birthday. It fell during our Spring Break so he just went with the "whatever" plan of the day! We woke up in Joshua Tree, spent the morning hiking, stopped by Big 5 where he picked out his own birthday presents, headed to the County Science Fair for Big Bro's award's ceremony, and then off to Chuck E. Cheese for an impromtu Birthday Bash complete with hundreds of tokens, greasy over-priced pizza, and a freezer burned birthday cake. Does that sound like fun or what? Now you know why he fell asleep with his clothes on! Happy Birthday Bud!

Bronze Medalist
