Quick Update

Well, we are in our house, and we LOVE it! We don't have the internet set up yet though, so that is why there are no new blogs - I must say I get a LOT more done around the house without TV and internet. We will be getting the internet soon, so keep checking. I wanted to thank everyone who came and helped with the move, it was SO nice - it would have taken me months to do what we did in a day. I will update a little later, with pictures, so don't forget about my sad little neglected blog.

Here are some pictures of our house in Hyrum that we are in the process of buying. We are so excited to move in - only a few more weeks!

This is the living room.

Graduation!!!

Yeah!!! He made it! We are SO excited to be done with school, I'm not sure if it's me or Carl that is the happiest to be done. He started his job Monday, and I have to say it is very great to have him home in the night, and to be able to do things together as a family! I know it's only been two days, but it's great!

We had such a fun day with everybody - thanks for coming! There's nothing in the world like family! We also got to show off our house that we will move into the end of this month - that was really fun to be able to see it with everybody there. We can't wait to move in and have it be ours! It will be here soon though, and there is a lot to do before then.

Ainsley turned 6 months on the 1st - I can't believe she is getting so big - it's getting extremely difficult carrying both kids around these days. She is such a cutie - make sure you check out here cankles!

So, I had the camera on the table the other morning at breakfast, and Fisher was pulling grumpy faces, so I kept taking pictures, and then I would show him, he loved it. It was really funny, cause he'd be all upset and I'd take the picture, and then he would be fine to see the picture. He is my drama king for sure!

This is the infamous fling the head back move.

We learned the sign for grumpy, and he thinks it's funny when I do it, and then he'll pull faces.

This one is my favorite! Welcome to my life. He must be turning two soon, how exciting.

Top Ten Reasons I'm excited to get a house!

10. More than one bathroom!

9. Fisher and Ainsley can have their own rooms, which means they won't wake each other up anymore!

8. A bigger kitchen!

7. A dishwasher, whose name is NOT Carl or Lisa.

6. No more hearing upstairs neighbors' "gaming parties" until 2 am!

5. More storage/cupboard space!

4. A garage!

3. Our own mailbox!

2. No more hearing upstairs neighbors!

1. Our own front door, and of course, MORE SPACE!



For those of you who don't know, Carl has a real job that he is going to start the Monday after he graduates. It is in North Logan, so we will be staying in Cache Valley. We are very excited for him to be done with school, and of course to start making some money so we can buy a house. My kids are both napping, so I better get something done.

First Kiss / 5 Months

So, I was watching our little neighbor girl, Ari the other day, and they were sitting by each other, so I grabbed the camera, then I told Fisher to giver her a kiss, and this is what I got. I LOVE this picture, it makes me laugh that she totally gave him a kiss too, and their eyes are both closed - too funny!

This picture was taken right after the first - typical "that was weird" looks on their faces. Kids are great aren't they?

Yea! Ainsley turned 5 months old! Man how time flies. She pulls the cutest little sad faces - except when the camera is out, she's all smiles. I had to take quite a few to get this one.

Here is my squeally little baby! She has definitely found her voice, and she is using it quite frequently. And, p.s. I stayed up late last night making her hair bow, I thought it turned out rather cute, if I do say so myself.

Cousins!

We were just able to spend a few days with my sister and brother-in-law from Missouri, and their two adorable kids - one of which we had never seen before, so it was a lot of fun for Fisher and Ainsley to be with them. I think Fisher wanted Madi to be his girlfriend, really he LOVED playing with her i.e. chasing her around the house. I also have some cute pictures of the Olsen kids, and the Godfrey kids - we LOVE cousins!

This is the Easter egg hunt - it was SO much fun. Fisher was really into it. He even put the eggs back when I told them they weren't for us.

Here are the kids playing "Apple" Aunt Taunie was improvising when no one had a ball to play with.

Uncle JD holding Flint and Ainsley. Don't forget to look at Kristine in the background, I'm pretty sure she is feeding Cactus.

Which one is the real baby? Too precious, Flint is such a cutie.

Flint and Ainsley loved to lay by one another - I even saw them holding hands a few times. I think they want to be kissing cousins.

Micki was pulling Fisher around in the stroller - he LOVES it, now every time we're over there, he thinks she should drag him around the house. Sorry Micki. And it looks like we have the Von Trapp family singers in the background, "Cu-koo"

Here is Fisher and Micki and my mom dying Easter eggs . Fisher loved this activity a little too much. It was however a big giant mess when he tried to stir or do anything with the egg. So we had him color some with crayons, and that was working good, until he just decided to smash the eggs on the table. Surprisingly enough some of his eggs survived, and turned out quite good, thanks to Grandma.

3 cute little babies! Cactus Jack aka Heath, Flinty, and Ainsley. Flint is 6 months, Ainsley is 4 and a half, and Cactus is 2 months. It's amazing how much difference there is in only a few weeks.

Naughty Napper

Okay, so this was a few days ago, I had put Fisher down for a nap, and I think I had to go in to get a diaper for Ainsley, and this is what I found . . . Yes that is diaper cream on his cheek, and wipes pulled out all over the changing table. What worried me the most was that he had climbed up there and was sitting on the changing table playing for who knows how long. I was a little shocked when I went in his room, but I think he was more shocked when I told him not to move, because of course I had to run and get the camera. He held perfectly still, and as you can see, still has the "I know I'm in trouble, please don't get mad at me" look on his face. I definitely laughed first, but told him if I ever found him up there again, he was going to get a spankin'. So, when do they get out of the climbing stage? I'm SO ready for that to be over - we've also found him in the crib WITH Ainsley, the crazy stinker, I am looking forward to the day when they'll have their own rooms.
