Day Out with Thomas

Nicholas' new obsession is Thomas the Train, and we are talking obsession. By the way super expensive obsession, but regardless his sweet little smile is priceless. We went to Heber City a few weeks ago and went to Day Out with Thomas. Just the two of us went and we had so much fun!! They has all sorts of fun activities, crafts, storytime and the main event we got to take a ride on Thomas. This cute little boy had the time of his life and he has been talking about it everyday since. He asks everyday if we can go again.

Let me explain...

I thought once school was out my life would slow down a bit, but really it's been crazier than ever. We moved again, that makes it 4 times in 16 months. Life has been really difficult for us since we sold our house because we keep coming across obstacles that prevent us from settling. I know everyone is so confused and doesn't understand the need for us to change our residency again,or where exactly it is this time so let me lay it out. We made the decision to sell our house last year in hopes of re-establishing in Vernal where Kurt has been working the last two years. The house sold the 2nd day it was on the market and we thought, wow this is really meant to be! We moved to Vernal and it was a real struggle. For different reasons we decided Vernal was not going to work for us. It's extremely over priced, extremely!! The environment just isn't the same and we were all just really homesick for Monroe. We moved back in hopes Kurt could find a job around here, it has yet to happen. So long story short, he is there, we are here and we are still hoping Kurt finds a local job. We had decided to go back to Vernal at one point because the job search had not been successful, but we didn't and we are not going to. We are back in Monroe! :) I hope I clarified for everyone! This living situation has not been ideal, but we are doing our best to make it work, wish us luck that we can stay for a while.

Happy Father's Day!

It didn't take long for me to fall madly in love with Kurtis, he is a rather amazing man. I loved everything about him and that love grew to unmeasurable proportions when we had children. There is really nothing like seeing the man you love, the person you have chosen to spend your life with hold your child in their arms. The love he has for our children is so deep and he cherishes them with all his heart. He works so hard and sacrifices so much to give them such a great life. I couldn't have chosen a better husband and father to share this beautiful journey with. Thanks babe for everything. Happy Father's Day!

Friends Forever

Thanks to the awesomeness of Facebook I was able to reconnect with some of my childhood friends from Salt Lake last year. We hadn't seen each other in about 8 years, since Ty was just a baby. We have been wanting to get together for the last year or so but since I live here and one my friends, Vangie lives in Virginia that has proven to be tricky. Well last month we were finally able to. The kids and I met everyone up in West Jordan at my friend Jennifer's house (which is super gorgeous btw) and had a great time reminiscing and catching up. The last time the 4 of us got together there were only two kids between us and now that number has grown to 11, going on 12. The kids played and we looked through old pictures of our group together and can I just say I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It was great seeing everyone and I am looking forward to our next get together.

We used to get our pictures taken together each year.
Here is a picture of us in I think 1994--- I have to say this is definitely one of the most awkward, hilarious pictures of me. With the braces, poofed bangs, and large amount of denim I was sporting, I simply have to share! LOL


Here we are 16 years later, recreating our ever so classic pose:



Here's another with a few of the kids:
