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.

Look at Ashton now!
Well, Ashton finally did it! He has learned to swing himself, blow bubbles and now ride his two wheeler with no extra wheels or help. He is doing a great job and loves his new found freedom. He loves to go up and down the street and leading his brother astray and going all the way around the block.
Ashton has been in swimming lessons for the last two months. Hopefully soon he will be swimming on his own safely. He has also been learning piano and really enjoys it to. He is doing a great job with it. He has learned so much about music in the last 2 months. I am amazed! (I can't believe how much I had forgotten about music, it has been a great refresher for me too!) I am so proud of Ashton and all that he is learning. He always amazes me.
Ransom was out and about sporting his new wheels too. He is still tring to figure out how to make the bike go.
And Tahlia was happy to be out and playing in the grass.

Easter 2009
Ashton and Ransom were so excited to color eggs and loved every minute of it.
Then Sunday after church Ashton searched high and low to find his Easter basket and then he finally found it, the tricky Easter Bunny. He had spent weeks looking forward to the Easter bunny coming. Now all that is left to look forward to is his birthday and has already started to make plans, yikes!

Easter Egg Hunt!
This year John insisted that we take the kids to an Easter Egg Hunt. So on Saturday before Easter we took the kids to the park for their annual easter egg hunt. I only insisted that whatever we do we get there early. The boys thought that it was pretty fun and loved the game and getting candy.

Happy Birthday Ransom!
Last Week was Ransom's birthday he is now the big 03! While he was eating breakfast on his birthday we wished him a happy birthday and asked him how old he was. He said "two" Ashton and I said "No, you are three." Ransom said "NO! me two" I said to Ashton I guess we will not bother with the balloons. Then Ransom said "Me three." He was so happy when Aunt Laura showed up with birthday balloons just for him. He is still loving his balloons and so is Tahlia. He loved getting presents and tearing all the paper off of them. He has gotten so big and learned so much over the last year it has been amazing watching him grow and learn.
Ransom wanted a car cake so Laura used her skill and patience to make a very cute special cake for Ransom. Thanks Laura!
Conference Weekend!
I love Conference Weekend. I love sittng at home and not stressing about getting to church on time for a change. I love the relaxed nature of the weekend. We do not really make any plans just to watch TV for 2 days. I love that I can sit and listen to our latter day prophet talk to us. I love that I feel good and have a desire to do better in my life. Well, on Saturday evening a couple of us girls got together and let the kids cut out cookies and decorate them. They had so much fun!
