Yep it's True

That's all I have to say is Yep it's True!

New House

Here are a few pics of our new house. Will put more on later when we move in and it's not a mess!

Ethan's First Day

Ethan started preschool finally! I have been very excited for this day to come! Even Alivia was excited for him to go. We got all dressed and ready to go, then went and got Landon and Carter. Christy and I drove them to Ms. Nicole's house. Ethan jumped out of the car and was ready to go. I walked him down to his classroom and hung up his backpack. He sat in his chair and started to color. Then he looked at me and asked "Are you staying with me mom?" and I said "No I will be right back to pick you up" then he started to cry. To get him to stop, I found a pirate coloring book. He was excited when I picked him up. Hopefully tomorrow won't be worse. Now I just have to figure out what to do while he is gone. Hmmm maybe read a book, scrapbook, catch up of Lost. So many possibilities! It has been so quite at my house I don't know what to do with myself! Thank heaven for school!

Liv's First Day

Here are a few pics of Liv's first day of first grade! She was very nervous to go. So nervous she made herself sick in the morning. She can thank her dad for inheriting the nerves. I walked her into her class and sat her at her desk so she knew where to go. The next few days I had to walk her to the back of the school where the entire school lines up. She was pretty intimidated by all the big kids. She has been enjoying school lunch for the most part. Or at least I think she is, who knows she could not be eating any of it. Ethan starts preschool next week and he got into a special speech class called Talking Time. We are very excited about that. Other than that, we have been busy packing and trying to find a new house. We will update when we know more about the house situation. We did put in an offer and now are just waiting to hear back from the bank. Hopefully all will go well and we can close quickly. Our buyers want to close sooner than expected, but we need to make sure we have a place to live before we push the date up. I didn't realize how much stuff we have accumulated in 6 years at this house. Well maybe I do, but didn't want to admit it. Oh well.

Changes

Well we officially accepted an offer on our home yesterday! We are scared, excited, and a little sad. We have lived here for 6 years and have decided we need to expand. We are hoping to stay in Saratoga or maybe Eagle Mtn. It is just central since I work in Murray and Trent works in Orem. The hard part is leaving the friends/neighbors. Hopefully they won't forget us and come visit from time to time. Now the search begins to find a new, bigger home. I sure hope our marriage survives this hurdle because we all know how different our opinions are!! Wish us luck!

Our Summer so far. . .

Well we haven't been up to too much this summer. We bought a new swimming pool for the kids so everyone could fit in it. They have loved it so far, but sometimes still prefer the slip and slide. We went to the cabin one day just for fun with the friends: Dusty and Tiff, and Kelly and Christy. Even though we weren't there very long, we still had a great time. We made kabobs that were really tasty! One day I took the kids to the park and it was funny to see the big wheel parade going down the street. Lucky for me, the fun of the park didn't last long and they decided we should go home. On Father's Day weekend, we went to the cabin again. Trent decided to try out his new repelling skills and repel down the mountain side. It was pretty fun to watch. I wish I would have done it, but I was wearing white pants and flip flops. Ethan is obsessed with pirates and wanted it to be his birthday so he could have a pirate cake. Since his birthday isn't until November, I decided I would make him his own pirate cake. Definately not a pro and making cakes! We went to farm country at Thanksgiving Point the other day with the Johnsons and Tolboes. The kids had a great time until Ethan needed a drink. Being my child, he didn't want water he wanted a drink from the "drink store". So far summer has been really fun!

What we have been up to

This spring we have been a little busy. Not too busy though. We went to the zoo, had Liv's kindergarten graduation, and went to the lodge a few times. We are looking forward to a lazy summer!
