First day for Becca

Yesterday was the first day of school for Becca. She loves it. I thought she would. Her favorite part - snack time right before recess!

Notice the Utah licence plates (boo hoo - Aaron made me give up my PA plates!)

$2 Tuesdays

In the month of August Thanksgiving Point has $2 Tuesdays where all attractions are just $2. Being the cheap person I am I went 4 times! The first week I went with my sister to the farm. The kids LOVED riding the pony (even though it just went in a circle). The next week I went with my sister to the Dinosaur museum. My kids LOVED the huge dinosaur and digging for the dinosaur. This week I went with my kids to the gardens. I was supposed to hook up with my cousin and sister, but they both had other things come up. Then after school today we went to the dinosaur museum because Sarah was in school last week when we went. We had just as much fun today.





Here are some pictures from the garden. (I forgot my camera at the museum!)

More hope for resident's wives

Aaron has been home for breakfast and dinner the past month! To some this may not seem like a lot, but to ME (and all those wives who can't remember a family dinner or *gasp* breakfast) it has been AWESOME!

I have actually been waking up at 6:30 to exercise because Aaron doesn't have to be to work until 8. Really, I didn't think this day would come!

Potty training - well, almost!

The last few days David has been potty training (or I have been telling him to go to the potty and he went) He did GREAT for the first three days - because I would make him go potty every hour or so. He just never took the initiative to do it himself. Today I thought I wouldn't make him go potty and see if he could do it on his own...4 wet and 3 stinky accidents later it was confirmed that NOPE he is just not ready. He has to do it on his own. It may have to wait until after the baby comes, but he has to be ready. Tonight I will eat his potty treats :)

One last token from PA

Well I can no longer hide the fact that I AM PREGNANT! I am only about 11 weeks, but man I have just really exploded. With Sarah we didn't tell anyone until 16 weeks...yeah I look bigger now than I did then! Well there is the news. We didn't really think hard when we stopped preventing babies because Aaron's test is March 31st and the baby is due March 14th. Yeah, smart thinking!

Another budding photographer

The other day we went to the aquarium in Sandy with a friend of mine and these are the pictures Sarah took.

A budding photographer

So my friend is a budding photographer and asked if she could take my pictures (well not really, anyone who knows Andrea knows that she just did it :) Here are some of my favorite ones.

New house pictures

Here is a sample of the house. We have a few rooms started, but have not even begun to decorate. The second picture was of Sarah on her first day of school. She loves it so far. Becca starts next week. We will go in today for some evaluations. I think it is a good idea to screen all the incoming kindergartners to see where they are.

don't you just love our 90s chandelier? We will have to do something about that :)

Our house is pretty much ready to go, but we will have to replace the windows and put a fence up. No big deal.

sorry about the last post

If you click on see all images then you can see the pictures. I tried, but for some reason it didn't work. Sorry!

We're in!

We finally made it and are BACK ONLINE! Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of our house yet. When I get furniture I will post some.

School starts on Monday...WOW where did the summer go? I will summarize the summer in a slide show. Some highlights of the last week.

Becca came down the stairs and said, "I love this house."

Sarah has had a HORRIBLE rash/allergic reaction to some poisonous something. She had bad itchy sores all over her body.

The girls had a get a Hep A shot today, one not required in PA but is here. Sarah was really brave, but Becca cried. I think Becca remembered what it was like 2 months ago when she got 4 shots. Not fun.

We went to the Thanksgiving Point Farm yesterday and to BYU Bean museum today with my sister Amanda.

Our couches and dining room are coming tomorrow!

We are going to the Aquarium on Friday.

Almost not homeless!!!

After spending a week in CA with Aaron's family we went to AZ to be with mine. It was great seeing all the family. We really had a great time rocking out to Rock Band on the Wii and horse back riding (the kids on a pony) and playing with the cousins and swimming in the lake and at the ranch. On Friday we went to the Grand Canyon and it was just beautiful. We hiked a little but mainly saw the canyon from different view points along the rim (pictures to follow when we are not homeless) After that we went to Aaron's sisters house in UT and went hiking up a beautiful canyon. I sprained my ankle (OUCH) although it didn't really start hurting until that night. We were hiking up the cold stream so that helped. I didn't go to church the next day because I couldn't even walk! Fortunately I could walk the day later.

Now we are at Aaron's grandparents house in UT. We have been furniture shopping all week! We have found a bedroom set for us and the kids, a dining set but the living room is HARD! We have sat on so many couches, but none seems just right. We did go with the front loader washer and dryer. We also got some pots and pans, knife set and dishes. I will send out an e-mail with our address and phone soon. THANK YOU to ALL the people who helped us out this month!
