Done

I am SO done with moving!! Nick and I have been somewhat nomadic the last little bit of our lives.  Thankfully...we are done for a long time!!!  We love our new home.  We found one of the only houses in Southern Utah with a basement and siding!!! Gaaaasp!! And my personal favorite......a porch!  Holy moly, you know this is all I've ever wanted.  We feel very blessed and have lots of room for our peeps.  We love having visitors so everyone plan a trip!

Wedding Bells

The next weekend after our California trip we were able to go the the temple with Mallory when she took her endowments out.  Then, this weekend was Chauncey and Mallory's wedding!!!! Holy cow, it's been such a busy few weeks and an even busier weekend, but always so fun to be with family. Lots of peeps came and stayed with us Friday night.  We stayed up late visiting and then got up early to get to the sealing.  I was sitting in the room and looked down the row at Nick's siblings.  Every one of them was there except for Colby who is on his mission.  I think it's pretty neat that we can all be there together. Chauncey and Mallory looked nervous and cute and excited.  After temple pictures we went to the luncheon.  After that, me and the kids drove to Caliente for the reception that evening.  Nick was Chauncey and Mallory's little chaffeur.  He set it up with Nick that Nick would fly them to Caliente.  She was totally surprised! It was pretty cool! After the reception we just visited, which is always nice! Today Andrea blessed her new little baby in Caliente while we were all there.  We were glad to be apart of that special moment.  Then we jetted! Nick and the kids flew home and I drove by myself, which was pleasantly quiet after a busy weekend. We were a little nervous at home they'd do, but they weren't nervous at all and did great!!!! They thought Nick was pretty cool....I do too! :)

California here we come!!!!!!

A few weekends ago we had a little getaway with some of our favorite peeps!!! We planned this trip for months and couldn't wait to get away for a bit. We left early Friday morning...started the day with Kneaders and jetted to Vegas.  We stopped and saw Chrissy for two seconds and ran and grabbed Drew and Loke.  Seriously laughing from minute one!!!! WE LOVE THEM!!!!! After we checked in to our hotel we did a bit of shopping before we went to an Angels baseball game.  It was such a beautiful park and a great game.  There were fireworks after which were really fun! After we ran and grabbed cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory right by our hotel. The next morning we got up early and jetted to Six Flags.  It was SOOO HOT and busy.  After the first ride, we decided to buy a front of the line pass.  Expensive, but well worth it! We rode sooo many rides and realized that we aren't as young as we used to be! Our rebound time was a bit slower than in the teenage years....still such a blast and we were able to ride tons.  It was so nice!!!!! We stayed till the park closed then grabbed Claim Jumper and crashed so fast....we were pooped! The next day before we left for home we ran and did a little thrift shopping.....one of my favorite things to do with one of my favorite peeps! Seriously, we laughed SOOOO hard.  We love you guys!!!!!!!!

Preschool!!!

Look how cute he is with his backpack!!!!!

Such a stud!!

Holy cow, my baby started Preschool! Where did the time go??!!! We took Hunter to school and he absolutely loved it.  He went so easy and really had a good time. I asked him a million questions when I picked him up, but he didn't elaborate much.  He had fun and then said he's "too busy" to answer more of my questions!!! I guess that's how it goes with a boy. :) His teacher is Miss Teri and he goes 4 days a week.  It's fun, but it sure poops him out and he's one onery boy by the end of the day!

Randoms

I love the fun random pictures, but it seems that I usually can't get the camera fast enough and end up missing the moment. Here's a few lately....

I love seeing my kids out.  They always look so heavenly and peaceful.

Hunter sleeps nuts! I went to check on him before I went to bed and he had snuck into the guest room and fallen asleep there.  I was a little nervous for a minute!!

Hunter got hurt and Reag was sweet and tucked him in and helped him feel better.   It doesn't always go that way, so I wanted to document it!!

Boredom and a big sister equals blackmail!

Again with the blackmail!!

Faith

Verily I say unto you my friends, fear not, let your hearts be comforted; yea, rejoice evermore, and in everything give thanks; Waiting patiently on the Lord, for your prayers have entered into the ears of the Lord...and are recorded with this seal and testament--the Lord hath sworn and decreed that they shall be granted. Therefore, he giveth this promise unto you, with an immutable covenant that they shall be fulfilled; and all things wherewith you have been afflicted shall work together for your good, and to my name's glory, saith the Lord.

Doctrine & Covenants 98:1-3

I just love this little boy. All the other kids had gone off to bed and this little boy snuck into our bed and watched Mickey quietly so he didn't get caught.  Smart boy!

Just needed to document him in Nick's shoes since he's ALWAYS in mine!

Holy Crazy! This is what happens when you have an older sister! Dress up in girls gynmnastic leotards and makeup!!!!!

Blackmail much?!

I was sitting at the computer and he really wanted my attention and kept turning my chair to him.  He makes it hard to get work done sometimes!

My two favorite boys!!! Look at how sweet and how match-y!!!

Ok, first....ignore the boxes and the hot mess...we are in packing mode. I was sitting at the computer and Reag was bored so she made a little desk so she could work by me.  She even put supplies and a picture on her "desk".  Love this girl!

Fun things they've said lately:

--Reag calls blush....plush. Mom, I'm wearing "plush".
--Hunter found our old baby monitors and has been playing with them pretending they are "lockey-talkies".
--Going to the "prophet"=Going to the property (where Lisa is building her house).
--Hunter likes to do "front tricks".....front flips.
--Reag did something sweet so I said, "Thanks Sis, you're a good girl".  Hunter says to her so sweet, "yeah sis, you're a good girl".  It was cute!
