We moved into our house almost a month ago and we are tired even our kids are admitting these days, and sleeping in the weirdest places!!! There are still so many projects to get finished and things to do. I thought that once you moved we were close, but there has still been a lot to do. We have managed to go escape up to Enterprise fishing, gone on a bike ride around the golf course, went through about 5 bottles of children's motrin, unpacked boxes that we have had boxed up for over a year (my husband wonders why we didn't just throw it away since we haven't used it), thrown away boxes that we have kept since we moved up to Provo 7 years ago, almost finished our landscaping...
We have had a MIRACLE happen this past week. Our kids are normally up by 7-7:30 even if they go to bed at 11 o'clock. But for two days (Saturday and Sunday even) in a row all four of our kids slept in until 8:30, it was much needed rest for all of us. One of those tender mercies for sure!!! It did make it kind of hairy to make it to church by nine but it was sure worth it.
She digs so much better with that pink shovel!! I sure do. It made her day anyway!
He has eaten more rocks and dirt than I think is allowed for human consumption, more protein right? He loves it and can't get enough. He also enjoys eating toilet paper fresh from the toilet! Gross, I know. But if the toilet lid is open he makes a mad dash for the bathroom and gets really mad when someone gets in his way!!
Joel enjoyed driving this little toy around, for the first couple of hours anyway, what boy doesn't enjoy moving a little dirt around.
We are trying to enjoy it all. It is so nice to be in. Joel never wants to do another project again. I have never heard him talk like that, he always has plans for something. Don't worry there are still plans for things he is just ready to relax (if that is possible for him to sit still, other than to read a book. Got any good recommendations?)
She wanted breakfast in bed for her birthday. This picture is taken right before the green cup filled with OJ spilled all over the bed/floor!
Brooklyn was baptized on Halloween so we had most of Joel's family stay and come trick or treating with us. It made it for a crazy time getting ready, but very fun for all of the cousins to go trick or treating together! It was a lot of fun!!
This skunk costume is the cutest thing I think I have ever seen, I wish I would have gotten a picture from the back! And he truly is a skunk sometimes!! Thanks Kathryn for letting us borrow it!!
This is the best we could do, my dream is someday to get a shot of all of them looking and smiling because they are in their costumes!!! Maybe next year!
Meet Raskal! Joel's brother, Jayson, tried to breed their sheltie with another sheltie, but that didn't work, another dog must have jumped the fence. After two days sitting out in parking lots trying to get rid of them Jayson had no luck, we felt sorry for him and of course, our kids have been wanting one ever since they were born. So we caved. It has been fun so far, the poop has been scooped up each day by Brooklyn, he sleeps good outside, and doesn't require to much attention from me while the girls are at school. We will see how the next week goes! Oh there are six more puppies, any takers?
So Santa brought our first BOY toy to our house for Christmas and it has been the best toy ever. The girls will put Luke it in and push him all around. They even push each other around in it. Luke will even walk around behind it and think that he is pretty hot stuff. Until he walks into a wall and can't go any farther. Then he gets ticked off so his sisters come to the rescue. I don't know if it will ever get used as much if we take it outside! They love it, he loves it, I love it!!!
Thanks to a handy, hard working husband, a patient wife, and his trusty side kick we now have a truck that we can all ride in, now that we are done with our reunions and other camping adventures (until next month, of course), and most our trips to Home Depot for big items are over.
