We made it!







 Washington, we miss you.
Before we left we had a nice farewell BBQ with the family. It was nice to get to be all together.
C and Tober loved staying at Bopa and Nana's. I guess Alfred did too since he got to be held and loved so much.


We took off on time, which I thought was pretty awesome with 3 kids, but the truck we rented from Budget {horrible experience by the way} needed oil, like really needed, so that set us back about an hour and a half. We ended up stopping in Oregon a little earlier than planned. I couldn't drive any longer and checked into a hotel.
 The kids seemed to mostly enjoy the experience, and I was really excited to take the kids to the pool.
 Then it was back on the road again, another long day, but finally at about 10 pm we got to Provo.






















I am such a mixed bag of emotions.

I am so thankful for the opportunity I had over the last 2 years to be close to The H family. I was blessed with the best sisters in law, hAha and Pipsta have been there for me through all the ups and downs of the last 6 years. You have made me feel loved and appreciated, and your support and encouragement has meant the world to me. 
Plus you guys are just fun, and easy to be around. :)

Moms and Pops, We can't say enough how much we love you guys,  and all the help you give our small family. You give everything you have for your children and are the perfect example of unconditional love and sacrifice.  There is nothing more fun than seeing you love my children, and they sure love ya back. 

And the nephews T pants, Cus cus, and Finner, I am so sad I won't be around to see you guys grow and give you sloppy aunt kisses. I look forward to the summer trips and reunions that we will for sure make happen, so you guys will grow up knowing your cousins.


much love, and goodbye, for now.

no good at saying goodbye...

As if I weren't emotional already I get on the computer and see hAha and Pip's goodbyes on their blogs. 

We just got into the hotel halfway between home and, well new home I guess. 
more to come, along with my goodbye to WA, and all the people I love and left there.

Moving

Moving with three kids believe it or not is kinda hard. 
Yesterday afternoon the kids were starting to pick on each other and the sound of crying and whining was turning my brain to mush. It didn't help that it was about 80 degrees inside the house. Alfred was sleeping finally and I needed to pack so I remembered something Jones had said the night before about taking the kids out in the backyard and letting them play with some bowls and water.
So I decided to fold laundry and pack clothes in the laundry room so the kids could play outside. 
Suddenly the world went from chaos to calm and productive.


When I finished with the clothes I grabbed some popsicles and side walk chalk and sat outside with the kids.
Jones arrived just in time to join us. 
It was nice. 
Today is another hot crazy day. 
Dinner with the H crew tonight, looking forward to it. :)

 Did I mention Tober is teething? yeah not fun.
Whenever we do her hair like this she reminds us of Boo from Monsters Inc.
Last 2 pics thanks to C :)

Big thank you to everyone who is helping me, with food and babysitting. I literally could not do it with out you!

Doodle # 2

Mama R since you loved the first one so much this is for you. :)


Cartoon C


The awesome adventures of my favorite 4 year old!

























Last night Jones sat down with Bug and doodled this picture of him. I love the way He captured all of his nuances, like the way his hair sticks up in the back, and the way he holds his arms.
I think it was really fun for C to see his Daddy do something he loves to do everyday, color!

The Green House

We got to live here all of 4 1/2 months.
It has been an excellent 4 1/2  months.
Here are a few pictures to remember it by.

Goodnight!

One of the things I am going to miss are my flowers. This place has been landscaped beautifully and I just love  the assortment.
I get a great deal of peace from nature and I feel that this has been a huge blessing. 
This house has definitely by far been my favorite place we have ever lived.
It feels like mine even though it is only a rental. I wish we could take it with us. :)
