The Fourth of July!

Target has lee press on nails for little girls. We had to have them.


They stayed on for almost two days.



This is Rieley's first trip to Urgent Care. She and Morgan were riding their bikes too close together and they crashed. Rieley's toe must have hit the bar on Morgans training wheels because it split all the way underneath her little toe. It was unpleasant...for everyone, but it could have been worse. She was as brave as little Rieley could be.

We decided that it would be fun to go back to our old stompin' ground and watch the USU vs. U of U football game in Logan, UT. It was fun...and that's the only thing I can say about it. USU did not win. It's funny to watch all those young people and think it has already been so long since we have been there. College kids are so immature.

This is USU losing.

A couple of Saturdays ago we decided to visit the Hill Air Force Base museum. It was really cool to see all of those old planes. It gives you a new respect for all those who serve and have served for our country.

To continue on....

This is our awesome new home!!



This is our front lawn and a view toward the East.



Here is our great room. A bunch of 10 year ild girls from the neighborhood came over to play with the girls while we unpacked. Rieley, Morgan and Leyton had a blast!
This was us just after signing on the house. My smile is sincere......Todd's trying not to throw up.

Finally!

Now we are in our new house and I have actually found our USB chord. There are other things I may never find thanks to the movers, but atleast we have pictures.

We will start at the beginning. This is our lovely rental home.







This is the heart of the home and where all the meals were made.

This is where we took turns eating the meals that were prepared.



And this is where we would all gather around the computer for a nice movie while the meals digested.

I haven't been putting pictures up because our USB chord is packed and so I can't download my pictures to the computer. Unfortunately, because I couldn't download them right away, I somehow thought I couldn't take any pictures. Obviously I wasn't thinking. So now, two and a half months into Utah I am starting to take pictures. They'll make it to our blog eventually. I have all sorts of fun posts that I'm thinking up. Like my wasp stingsss. Keep your eyes peeled for that. So luckily I have mended my ways and am getting back on track. We are signing on our new house in 3 days..and we will start moving in on that same day. What else????? Todd's job is going great. He is super super busy. It isn't as exciting as Border Patrol, but nice in other ways. He is next in line for a "flight". He says that there is talk of some good ones coming up like Russia and Africa and some other place that I've never heard of...but they have a one night layover in Hawaii on the way there and back. It is really rough to be him. I was thinking that all that overtime he makes could pay my way to Hawaii and I'll wait there for him while he goes to that place I've never heard of. ANyway, he likes his job and is glad to be getting the hang of things.

Home sweet home

We are currently in the process of buying a house. We are suppose to close in two weeks exactly. Everything seems to be going well although nothing is done until it is done. We still have our Arizona home, but the lenders don't seem to mind so as long as nothing comes up..we are good to go. It is an older home that was built '87. It is white brick with 5 bedrooms and a basement. It kind of looks like grandmas house. Eventually we will update it, but there is no immediate need for that yet. It has 3700 square feet so I guess I'll have to go furniture shopping...one day. This means that we have lots of room for guests. The neighborhood is great and the school rates well too. Not that we'll need that for another year since Rieley misses the cut off. Anyway, we are excited to move and have our own home again. Plus the mold in this rental is giving me allergies and probably slowly killing me. I will enjoy using pots and pans that don't flake every time you stir the food and a cheese grater will be a nice luxury too. All of the things we take for granted.....it will be nice to have all of our stuff out of storage.
