The Move

The move went smooth. We had a whole bunch of guys show up from our Elders Quorum and also some friends and family and everything was done so fast. We had the truck loaded before 10 and unloaded before 11. We even got it unloaded so fast that our new wards Elders Quorum didn't have to help.

Luke has survived a tumble off the end of his bed into toys and also a fall off of the porch into a bush. He did really good the first couple of nights in his own room and the toddler bed but not so great last night. Hopefully tonight will go a little better.

Haley and Emmy like it for the most part. Haley was a little sad because she didn't make any new friends her first week at church. But I'm sure that will come with time. She wanted to know why we'd been banished from our old ward.

Things are crazy right now since we still have so much going on in the old neighborhood but that will be over with soon. Thank goodness we only have six more days of school and two of those are short days.

We've done a lot of unpacking but still have lots to go. That will probably have to wait till the weekend if not after school gets out.

Anyway, thanks to anyone that helped. It was so nice to get it done so fast. And once we are really home and get more unpacking done we'll have to show it off. We love it here and are so glad we found this place.

Ogden Marathon

Zach ran the Ogden Marathon today. It was a little warm for a marathon. And because he took his cell phone with him I was at the finish line. It was so nice not to be fighting kids while waiting for him to finish. (Thanks mom and dad for taking them.) When Zach talks about running a marathon I usually pipe in saying something to the fact that I think he's crazy. But honestly I think it's pretty awesome that he could stand to run for that long, and he wants to do it again. I don't like running for 30 minutes so for me to run for 5 + hours I just can't even imagine. Good Job Zach, you've now completed two marathons....I'm proud of you. The pictures aren't great cause I only had the little camera and it's not as nice as Zach's but at least I got some.




Now with this over I can start to think about the move. Having the marathon this weekend has really stressed me out. Hopefully I can have everything done by next Friday so we can move on Saturday. I just might have to take the offers from people to help me get everything packed, even though I'm not sure I want to. The truck will be here around 8:30 Saturday morning. YIKES!!!

Moving Craziness!!

I don't like the fact that my house is in complete shambles. The walls are starting to look bare the closets and cupboards are getting cleaned out. Everything is crazy. Boxes EVERYWHERE!! I do like that I'm getting rid of a bunch of stuff. Things that were, for some odd reason, never unpacked when we moved here. I think that if I haven't needed it in the 4+ years we lived here then I likely won't need it anytime soon. I just hope I can get it all done and packed up in time for our move on the 24th.

We're Moving!

May 24th. Email us if you want to come help. There will be donuts &/or pizza for the volunteers. You know you want to.

Zach's work

The pictures aren't great, but Zach designed this sign that goes on the ice cooler thing so we had to go and check it out.

Luke's Artwork

Luke loves to draw on anything and everything. I've had to wash it off of walls, erase it out of books, wash it off of hands and arms and even his face. It seems that he can always find something to draw with and he'll draw on whatever he wants. The girls never did this so it is making me a little crazy. Hopefully he'll grow out of it and start using those dinosaur and elmo coloring books rather than the walls...

May!!

I woke up this morning and looked at the window and was greeted with a this white stuff. It's the first of May. I'm ready for some warmer weather and no more snow!!!

Answer...

And Luke but I don't have a picture of him. I guess you could maybe even say Zach since he cuts his every other Sunday. My picture is taken before I had highlights added to my hair. I know mine doesn't look that different but I did take off 2-3 inches. We are all ready for summer with our new hair cuts.

With the crazy spring we've had I've been needing to see some tulips. Mine in the front yard are maybe finally just coming up. On Friday after we got our hair cuts we went downtown and met Zach and went to see the flowers at Temple Square. They were so pretty. I'm glad we made it down to see the Tulips and other pretty flowers. The colors were just amazing. Notice the new blog header. The picture was taken at Temple Square.

Who got their hair cut?

Sleepy Boy! And other stuff.

This kid will fall asleep anywhere as long as he's not in his bed. This was last Thursday when I was in the kitchen making orange rolls. He decided he was tired and took the towels off the stove and used them as a pillow. He slept there for over an hour. It sure made cooking the orange rolls hard but I wasn't willing to disturb him. He will often fall asleep on the floor with a pen in hand and paper close by, or playing with toys. He's taken over Zach's side of the bed to fall asleep at night. I think right now he is probably asleep in his high chair. Now if I could just get him to go to his bed when he is tired and ready to fall asleep...

On Friday we went to the Kindergarten Orientation for Emmy. Part of me can't believe that she is going to start Kindergarten this next school year and the other part of me can't wait till school starts. I can't believe how old my kids are getting.

In other news... On Saturday morning Haley and I went for a 2 mile run and then walked another half a mile. We did it before the air was so bad. It was kind of fun to get out there again. I haven't done anything since my 5K on July fourth last year. We are getting ready to run a 5K in Springville the first Saturday in June. Zach ran this one two years ago and because of soccer last year and other things we weren't able to run it. Now I just have to keep up with the running so that I can do it. It is a cheap race and they have great prizes afterwards. With any luck having three people to win the prizes we just might get one this time.
