Trip to PA

So a few weeks ago I flew to Pennsylvania with Tahlia to attend my nieces wedding. It was a lot of fun to see most all of my family. Many of who I have not seen in many years. Amazing enough all of my brothers and sisters were there. That tends to be difficult.
I love the Washington DC temple and was so excited to do a session there and attend the wedding. It turned out to be a perfect day for a wedding.

I appreciate everyone that helped us out. Aunt Rachel who stayed with the boys. Aunt Donna who took us in. Grandma and Grandpa who got us to where we needed to be.

50's Night

Last month a friend of ours invited us out for an evening for a 50's murder mystery dinner. It was so much fun. We were just filling in for another couple that could not come. In one day I found saddle shoes and a belt that fit me at DI. What are the chances? Laura helped me pick out fabric to make a great poodle skit and we even found a poodle to put on it. Laura made the perfect skirt. It was so much fun dressing up and getting out.

Another day out

We have been so blessed this year this was the second opportunity that we had to take the kids to see inside a temple. The new Oquirrh Mountain Temple is still our soon to be temple district. We are so excited! It is so close to John's work and that could be nice too. The boys love to go to the temple and see its beauty. Ashton is always amazed at its beauty and always picks the same room as his favorite. I hope they will always remember the feelings they felt there.

Walking already!

I really wanted to share Miss Tahlia walking theses were taken on May 17th(14 months old.) Now she is a pro. She now often runs. I have loved her learning to walk. She never required any fingers when learning to walk and she still hesitates taking any hands or fingers when walking. There is a down side to all of this independence. I often want her to take a hand to avoid getting hurt and she refuses and tries to run into danger.

Who Knew!

Who knew that it would take so long to update the blog? I had no idea that I would have been so busy. The time has come for me to clue you in, if you care if not, go ahead and skip all of this.
Who knew that we would put the house us for sale so soon? It has been five years that we have lived in the house and made tons of great memories and made many great friends. It was the first time in ever in my life that I had friends in the neighborhood and felt like I belonged to a community. Because of all that I did not want to leave but we knew that it was time to move on.


Who knew that a house could sell so fast? We put the house up for sale at the beginning of April and by the end of April it was under contract. We were suppose to close on May 26th so we moved out, not knowing that we would not actually close until June 12th. After we moved out all I cared about is that we did close and get that part over with and finalized.


I knew that it had to close on the 12th of June or we would not have been able to close on our new house the next week.
Who knew that it would all work out and we would close on a new house and get everything moved it. After closing the previous home owner told me that he told his agent 3 days before closing that he was not going to closing and he did not care what the consequences would be they changed their minds and decided to stay. I of course did not know that they did not want to close but the most important thing is that did go to closing and all is well for us.
Who knew that in the end hind sight tell us that 3 days of homelessness would have been it instead of 3 weeks that we were thinking and living. The kids had a great time playing with there cousins all day long. I had a great time hanging out with one of my favorite people in the world. My sister and her husband were very generous and kind to let us intrude in their busy lives and take care of us for a few weeks.
