4 Months!!!
Hello all! Our little man had his 4 month check up yesterday. We are pleased to relay the message that he is doing great! He weighs 13 lb, 4 oz and is 25 1/2" long. The doctor said he is in the 62% for his height and only 11% for his weight. Which is hilarious to me! 
I never thought I would have a kid that is considered tall and skinny. :) But he confirmed that David is in very good health and he is very active for a 4 month old. 
He is rolling all the way over now and is even trying to crawl. He lays on his belly and sticks his little bum in the air and tries to push his feet against the floor to move. It's so cute. Our internet isn't fast enough to download video, so sorry. So feel free to check out some pictures I just took of him tonight. As you can see, he has discovered his feet and loves to use his big toe as a new chew toy. :) Love you all!

A day at the lake
I know this is a late entry, but I just had to post it. James' dad came and visited us in Kanab the first weekend in June.
None of us had ever been to Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam, so Steve was nice enough to take us for the day. 
We went on a 3 hour tour (insert Gilligan's Island theme song here) of 2 canyons at Lake Powell. It was beautiful! 
It was a warm day, but David did really well. Here are a few pictures. Enjoy!
Oh, David just loves his Grandpa West!

Our New Lives!
Hello everyone! Well, we have officially begun our new small town lives here in Kanab. I know I am a little tardy in writing this post, but hey, better late than never. :) This is the official update of the West Family.
James is doing great! He is really enjoying his 40+ hour weeks as the Assistant Manager of the brand new Holiday Inn Express here. The hotel is doing very well. They are in the middle of their busy season, so they sell out almost every night. James is in charge of all group sales and he is doing great. They have at least 2 tour buses every week. I'm so proud. James has also recently been called as the Second Counselor in the Elder's Quorum Presidency in our new ward. They just called the entire presidency, so they are starting from scratch.
I am doing good also! Actually, I'm doing a lot better here than I ever thought I would. I just started my new job at Zions Bank. They have a Customer Service call center here and I started my training there last week. I wasn't too thrilled about being chained to a desk and phone again, but I have learned to enjoy the atmosphere again. I am in a training class with 3 other women, who happen to be quite a bit older than me. Two of which have no idea how to even turn on a computer. Well, we started our computer and phone call training this week and I picked it up pretty quick... unlike the other women. The trainer pulled me aside and asked me to help train one of them one on one. What a compliment! So she sat with me for 2 days while I took my first calls and tried teaching her how to navigate the computer. Tough job. I sure hope she gets it. Other than my job, my life is going great. I am loving the small town atmosphere and our new ward.
David is such a sweetheart! He is growing bigger everyday and is becoming quite chatty these days. He rolled over for the first time a few weeks ago and still does it at least once a day. He has his 4 month check up on Thursday, so we'll see just how good we've been feeding him. The best part of my day is the morning with David. I get to wake up every morning to his babbling in my ear through the amazing invention of baby monitors. I walk into his room and peek over the side of his crib and watch him play for a minute. But the best part is when he catches me. He starts laughing and shows me that big gummy smile that melts my heart. Oh, he truly is a gift from heaven. :)
So that is a (not so) brief summary of our new lives. I'm sorry that we haven't been able to update our blog very regularly. But I am happy to say we now have Internet at home. So, for all you dedicated readers... stay tuned. :)
