We are desperate for friends here....

So I threw a little tea party and begged a new church friend and cousin to join us.

The girls were in complete princess heaven!

Some tea treats

Some Princess Dancing

Yes, this is how desperate we are.

I even told them I would be a princess for the party and pulled out my sisters prom dress for the event.

So moral of this story is...

COME VISIT US!!!

Please.

Pretty Princess Please.

Where We've Been...

Lake Powell '10
One of the best trips yet

My Dream Car, For His

So long Mini Coop.

It's time to say goodbye, a wonderful journey it has been.

You saved me from my mini-van life and filled me with thrilling go-cart pleasure. Your wheels gave excitement to our date nights and adventure to our road trips.

But you are gone, sold Saturday night.

My dream car...

...for His.

Not necessarily his dream truck, but the truck that will allow his dreams,

our dreams, to come true. Scott passed his Contractor License test this week, started his business and bought a truck. (Yes, all in 1 week)

So here's to you Scott, the man I would sell anything for.

And here's to dreaming big.

We're Loving It!!

We are loving life here.

Just a few glimpses of the past week.

The 3 monkeys

Ice Cream and laughter w/ Cousins

(We have seen ALL of our cousins in the past week!! I only got a few of them on camera)

Now this means I'm home.

Just a random afternoon in the backyard, with my sisters

It felt wonderful

All in all....

we're loving it!

We're Here!

My mom and grandma flew into Cali last Monday and worked to the BONE packing, cleaning, babysitting until they dropped. Like true angels they saved us!

Even after we got to Utah, Grandma came and unpacked and organized! Like I said, angelic!

We got everything done in less than 2 days. Drove 12 hours and by Friday morning we were mostly moved in.

Thank you to everyone who got us boxes, carpet cleaners. Thanks for those of you who helped keep our kiddos happy and entertained so we could actually get something, anything done. Thanks to those of you who came and cleaned and painted and did dirty jobs. Thanks to everyone who helped get our stuff into yet another moving truck! Thanks to those of you who were there to unpack the truck and unpack our boxes.

Thanks to everyone for making our time in California such an incredible journey. You are part of us. And you are with us here...even so many miles away.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Dancing Days

Goodbye Dance Classes

So I teach dance, to lovely little girls and boys, in the sunshine every week and this week was my first week in a long time that I didn't. Classes ended last week (as I am 9 months pregnant) and I will miss these days and my little kids.

At least I get to take 2 of them home with me.
