Hair

Emily, this is for you and your not so subtle reminder. :)

Updates

This may be the longest post ever, but I don't want to do a whole bunch of little ones. We moved into our new house. I love it. It is so cozy and homey. The kids love having their stuff back and love that we live within walking distance to a park. The dogs even love it. Having grass is a major plus for them. The best part of this house, are all of the beautiful flowers.
We went to Hogle Zoo the other day with my brother Cody and his wife Shiloh and their darling daughter Lexie. We had so much fun. Livie loved the elephants. I think she could have stayed there the whole day. Dylan's favorite part was the zoo train.Finally, I got in a car accident last week. A man ran through a red light and smashed into our van. Luckily, no one was hurt except for some sore muscles and bruises. We are so blessed that nothing worse happened. The kids were terrified, but some wonderful people helped them feel better with balloons and movies. The cute ambulance men even gave them some bears. Our van is fixable, so we are just driving a rental for a couple of weeks. The last picture is the peaceful intersection where it happened.

Changes

So many things have changed in the past month and a half. To start off, the job Jon originally came up here for didn't work out. But, the good news is he got another job with fantastic benefits and perks at Malt O Meal. The best part is, every time he works, he gets to bring home 3 bags of cereal! We are moving out of my parents house this weekend. We are going to live in Tremonton, since that is where the factory is, and we are going to move into my brother Cody's old house. I am so excited and it is such a cute house. Also, I cut my hair off today. I was so ready for a change. It is just above my shoulders now. I still don't have my computer set up, so as soon as I do, I will post pictures of everything.

Saying Goodbye

Livie and I had to say goodbye to a few friends today. It was sad, but it made me realize how much I appreciate the people that have been there for me. I love these girls and their kids.

Changes

As most people know, Jon lost his job with Pulte Homes about a month ago. We have been searching for a new job and we found one about a week ago, in Logan Utah. Therefore, this Friday we are leaving our beloved home and friends and starting a new adventure. Everything happened so quickly, (Jon is starting this Monday and coming back to help us move this Friday), that we haven't found a place to live yet, so we are staying with my parents until we can find somewhere. It has been a sad week saying good bye to people we care about. Dyl said goodbye to his wonderful occupational therapist Shannon. She has been such an inspirational person in his life and has done so much for him.

On Saturday night, my friends threw a goodbye party for me. It was so incredible. I am going to miss them all so much, but I know I will always have a place to stay when I come and visit. I want to thank Jenna and Kate for organizing the party and getting so many people to come. I know I am so blessed to have so many amazing women as friends. Thank you all so much, you will be missed greatly.

Easter Vacation

We went up to Utah for our Easter vacation. We first stayed at Jon's mom and dads. The kids had so much fun, and Dylan actually ate in a restaurant. He hasn't been able to do that for awhile. Livie and Emma were so cute and thought they were little princesses. Dylan terrorized them by being a shark and putting them in the smelters. It seems Livie has gotten over her irrational fear of babies, and actually loved playing with Gavin. After Heidi and Wayne's, we went up to Tremonton to my parents house. It was fairly good weather, on the non rainy days at least, and the kids loved playing outside. My dad took all of the kids on a jeep ride while we hid eggs. They had so much fun searching and Dylan managed to sneak most of his candy in his mouth before we made it back to my moms house.

That Saturday we went bowling. I think Coby's little boy Beckham beat all of us. Thank goodness for bumper pads. Easter Sunday was beautiful and Dylan kept saying how much he liked what "the rabbit" brought him. I was trying to teach them about the true meaning of Easter, and how Jesus was resurrected and came back to life. Dyl and Liv were convinced that meant he was coming to visit us that day.

Livie's Dancing

We had our first parents day at Livie's dancing class. It was so much fun. Livie is doing so well. She has only been in for about a month, and the girls in her class are a year older than her, but I think she is doing great! She loves going and that is the most important thing. Her teacher Miss Stephanie is so wonderful. She makes them use their manners and teaches them balance and rhythm. My friend Emilee and I were observing that she does a lot of stuff with them that an OT does. She even had them do Miss Puffy, which is a dance I did as a little girl.
