We found a house!

So, after 4 months of searching, calling, driving, looking, and stressing, we finally found a place to call home. It's a cute little house over on 10600 So. and
40th West. And, the neighborhood has access to a club house and pool. Yeah! I've actually only gone through the house once and we'll go back tomorrow, with Jason, he hasn't seen it yet, so hopefully I like it still! Jason has been so good about letting me drag him through all the houses but he keeps telling me to just pick one! So we'll see if he has any compliants with this one. So, I feel so relieved yet a whole new set of worried has laid upon my shoulders! Packing, Cleaning, Packing, Moving, Cleaning, Ahhhh.... What have I done???

The Party....

The girls all got here at 3:30. They had a surprise scavenger hunt that ended up at Texas Roadhouse where we ate rolls and had drinks. We then went across the street to see the movie "Bed time stories". After we came home, had pizza, cake and ice cream and decorated aprons. The girls played twister, limbo, and pop the balloon... Finally, it was time for "bed" they watched Twilight and well, then I went to bed. I'm not sure how late they stayed up! Such cute girls! Mikayla got everything she wanted and except for some complaints about Brinley, she had a great Birthday!

Happy 11th Birthday Mikayla!!!!

Happy Birthday sweetheart! I can't believe you are 11. You are growing into such a beautiful girl! We love you so much! You are such a hard worker and have such a warm and caring heart! Hope you have a great day! We LOVE YOU!

Adoption Day!

YEAH! Lara and Mitch finalized their adoption of Julia today. They took their kids out of school and went down to the court house. She just called me and told me all about it. I am so grateful for them and, like Lara, I feel so at peace and so happy! I know things all worked out for the best and I love that I can still be a part of her life! CONGRATULATIONS. What a special day. They will be blessing her and then will have her sealed to them for all time and eternity in the next month. I'm so excited for them!

Easter pictures, pictures....

My mom wanted to get all the grandkids together for an Easter picture this year. It was almost impossible to get all 4 families together but we pulled it off. At least I think they did. I had to work so Jason took the kids, it was pretty nice for me actually. So I tried my best to get a few pictures of my own before the big adventure.

There are 15 grandkids now, starting at 14 years down to 6 months. I'll post the cute pictures when I get them! I'm sure it was quite exciting.
Oh, and thank you Jodi for making the cute headbands!

I need MOTIVATION!

So, I was talked into Face Book. Like I have extra time to spend on the computer! It was fun to see old friends from high school though.
I hate this snow!! I want spring! Although getting into "swim suit" shape is weighing heavily on my mind......only 3 months. I have no ambition! Anyone want to help inspire me? Jason wants to start the PX90. He downloaded it for free in Lime wire. Everyday he says, "Tomorrow, PX90" as he pats his belly. I'm afraid one day he's really gonna mean it! So I really really need some motivation. Ya know, before summer hits and I have to buy all new suits cause all mine are too small.......
Anyone else stressed about Easter? I need a house! I think that's the root of all my stress. Well. That's all I've got today. Need to go clean out closets!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We had a hard time finding something green to wear this year.... A leprechaun got in our fridge and turned an egg green, also an ice cube. Those little guys are pretty sneaky!
All three girls have had the flu since Sat. Today I can finally say We're on the mend, only because last night I actually got more than 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep! No cleaning up throw-up and washing sheets at 2 am. I so did NOT want to wake up today! Well, Happy Day to Everyone!

One BUSY week!

Friday Feb. 27th:

(Happy Birthday Kwissy!)

Tonight we had Jordan's Blue and Gold Banquet. He earned his Wolf, 3 progress towards rank beads, one gold arrow and 3 silver......Way to go Jordan! We are so proud!

Our ward hasn't had pack meeting since Aug. so that's why he's getting it all at once. Also his Wolf leader forgot to order his stuff, after I reminded her 2 times. Luckily they had an extra Wolf badge.

When we left that night the moon looked so COOL! You could see the whole moon but only a sliver of it was bright and right next to it was a really big bright planet. This picture doesn't serve it justice but we tried!

Saturday Feb. 28th:

We woke up early and dressed in layers to meet Jason's sister Nicole and her husband Matt to hike up to Donut Falls! It was so beautiful and so much fun! We took all the kids. They were great. Saddie rode on Jason's shoulders the whole time. We all had a blast! Thanks Nicole and Matt for dragging us along!

That night we went to my nephew Campbell's baptism. It was very nice. He wanted his dad to baptise him and Grandpa Kevin to confirm him. They all did such a great job! Congrats Cam!

Sunday, March 1st: We were invited to watch our nephew Krew be blessed down in Lehi. This was the first time we have seen him. He is darling he smiled so much at Jason the kids were all excited to see Jason's family and all their cousins! Mikayla and Jordan then slept over at Grandma Linda's with cousins Kaitlyn and Spencer. They are all off track. Lucky ducks!

Monday, March 2nd:

Grandma took kids to classic skating. I took Saddie to the Dr. (She's fine) Then I met friends Kris and Michelle for dinner for a girls night out and............SURPRISE Sandi popped around the corner. Kody, Kris' husband flew her in from Texas for a few days. It was SOOOO FUN to see her and catch up! Thanks Kody! Oh and thanks for dinner too!

Tuesday, March 3rd:

Lara and I took the kids to the Children's Museum. We rode tracks down so we wouldn't have to deal with driving down town. That was an adventure! The kids all had a blast, as for us moms? It was fun but so exhausting!
