PS. We moved!

Holy craziness the past few weeks! A little less than a month ago I interviewed for a school counselor position in St. George. They called less than a week later and offered me the position. Then about a week later once my background check came back, I started and a few days after that, we moved! It was all REALLY fast!!! We moved the weekend before Thanksgiving. It's been really nice to be here but it still hasn't sunk in, which is weird considering it's been a few weeks now. It was really hard to leave my AWESOME ward/calling and my FABULOUS BESTEST friends. Many of you know that I've never been too fond of Las Vegas, but I have to say that somewhere along the way I grew to be okay with it. I'm not gonna say I love it, but I do LOVE the people we met (and the shopping and food was great too!). My ward was trully my family and I loved all the fun things we did and the people I met because of it. So pretty much you all better come and play up here considering we are SOOO close and we also have good food and shopping! Anyways, it was hard for Reag to leave too, but she has gotten comfortable with her new school and has made a few friends. Our neighborhood is great with lots of kids and my job is really good. I work from 7:15ish to 2:30 and get all school holidays off, which is SOOOO awesome! I live really close too, so travel time is about 5 minutes, not bad! The school district also provides REALLY GOOD, FREE FOR THE FAMILY insurance which was REALLY needed for Hunter. Nick will start looking soon, hopefully when the new airport opens he can get on there. We'll see! For now I'm glad that the kids are able to be with him to ease them into the changes. So pretty much, that's what we've been up to! It's been a little nuts and it wasn't at all what we thought would happen for us, but it has still been a blessing for our family and like most, they usually don't come as you plan! PS. I bet most of you thought I was gonna say I was pregnant, huh?! Nope, not yet!!! Sorry to lead you on though! :)

Thanksgiving 2010

This year we went to Caliente, big surprise! We go there every year. So nice having both of our families there, but since everyone was home it's hard to fit it all in.

He takes after his dad!!! :)

I needed to document this moment. Nick is always good to help, Calvin--sure, but Mark, not so much!!! We made all the boys peel potatoes before they could play games.

My cute sis-in-law Andrea, love her!!

Linda, Andrea's daughter Madison and Hunter

Grandpa and Reag getting the eggs

Hunter LOVED this, but Uncle Justin had to keep steering for him! He's a good uncle!

Pretty much this is what the boys do the whole time. Notice Hunter right in the middle! He's the only boy grandbaby so they're teaching him young!

Holt Family minus Chauncey on his mission

All the grandbabies. Funny story--Hunter was standing up right when he got in and Reagan yells, "Hunter peed! Me-Where?? Reagan-On Madi's arm!!" Oh wow, we laughed sooo hard!

Best Buddies (and cousins)

Aviation Nation 2010

One of our most favorite things to do each year is go to Aviation Nation at the Air Force Base. We always have a great time watching the amazing shows and the kids love it too!

Big Changes

Big changes are going on for our little family. I've been swamped but have lots of updates coming soon!!!

Remeber when 30 seemed so old??

Nick turned 30 last weekend. He went hunting and let's face it, nothing can ever top that so I cancelled the fun plans I had made and he went and had fun being cold in the mountains and loved every minute of it. After we got home from church the next day we had his favorite cake and spent a lovely evening at home. It's such the opposite of how I like my birthdays, but it was perfect for him. I kinda can't believe that 30 is here. When we were younger, it seemed so old and now it's not really that big a deal, although I have totally enjoyed teasing him! :) Happy Birthday to the best husband, father, and friend I know. I love you!!!

Hunting

Nick went hunting with family and I love this picture!!! It's home and beautiful.

So old...

So this is Nick's attempt to "sneak" up on Hunter and take a picture of him climbing in the chair, grabbing the remote and watching tv. As you can see, Hunter's staring right at him. Not so sneaky!!

Also carries Reagan's lunch box around. He wants to be like her.

Wanting to sit and do homework like Reagan. When did my baby get so old??? He will be 2 in January and I feel like we just had his birthday.

Trunk-Or-Treat 2010

Every year after Halloween, I say that I'm going to put more thought into it next year and dress up and do something fun as a family. Then it comes and goes so fast that I usually end up just being glad that we were there! This year, Reag said she wanted to be a kitty. I thought, that's perfect I'll have Hunter be a doggy and I can be a Vet! Minimal costume, but still effort and fun. We go to the store and Bam! She now wants to be a fairy. Oh well, maybe next year. :)

Trying on costumes.

Bribing Hunter with candy and it's just the dress rehearsal.

After they get undressed, this is what he does. Seriously, should I be concerned?! :)

Bite

We LOVE Bite Of Las Vegas! We go every year for lots of music and food. Except for last year when we all had the swine flu--good times! Sara Barailles, Plain White T's, Switchfoot, and lots more. Way fun!

Ice Cream and Cupcakes--we're trying to get parents of the year :)

Isn't Nick such a good sport?! He'd do anything for Reagan.

So hot!! :)
