A great perk in UT

Our realtor was telling us about the community center and I thought it sounded great. When I was telling my sister in law where we were moving she said, "you are going to have a great community center" when I got here I checked it out. Here is the Legacy Center. I thought the aquatics center looked great. Now all I need is a great workout buddy. (Lauren, Utah is a really nice place to live:)...although I haven't really lived there...but how can I find a better work out friend!!!

We have been swimming and playing here in CA. We are going to the beach today. Tomorrow we are going to swim and get ready for AZ and then on Friday we are off.

It has really been fun being on vacation. We are going to be homeless for a month, but I have not seemed to mind, although I can't find my camera.

We made it!

After 2,200 miles, 36 hours of driving and endless hours of the Muppet Show, Dora, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry...WE MADE IT! The kids really had a great time.

We looked at TONS of houses yesterday and we think we found a great one. It was really hard to choose because there were so many great houses. We are just waiting for the realtor to call and then we will go and see it one more time and then hopefully make an offer.

I will let you all know if we get it!

Sunset for sale

We have been taking pictures of our stuff that we want to get rid of and the other night there was a really pretty sunset and Aaron went out to take a picture. Becca asked, "Are you going to sell the sunset?" We thought it was pretty funny.

Well only a few more days to go. I was talking to a friend today and just broke down crying. It is going to be hard leaving all these amazing friends! I still have LOTS to do, but it will all come together.

I probably will not write again until we are in UTAH! Thanks to all those friends I am crying over. I LOVE and will MISS you so much!

More tears

Yesterday I was packing up and largely ignoring the kids...well Becca said she wanted to cut the grass so I gave her some old haircut scissors. I didn't think anything of it because usually Becca is really responsible, anyway I look out the back yard and see Becca pulling a chunk of her hair and notice that all but the back was gone. I walked outside and just whispered Becca. She immediately burst into tears. She didn't want to look in the mirror because she didn't want to see what she had done. I will have to post pictures later, but it did actually turn into a cute little shoulder length hair cut. I should take her to a haircut place, but I think I will wait until it grows a little more.

Here are some random pictures. I have not been too consistent with David's naps, therefore when he is tired he sleeps. Apparently he needed a snack before falling asleep. Sarah and Becca filled up water balloons and stuffed them down her suit and then there is Super dad...a great father's day present from Becca. The best picture from the girls messing around with the camera.

boo hoo

Only two more weeks here! Aaron had his graduation dinner on Saturday night and his speech made me cry. Then I talked in church and cried all over again! I love it here and it will be sad to say goodbye to all my friends. I guess this is just part of moving on! It is weird how this is what I have been looking forward to for the last 8 years, but now that it is here I am a little (okay REALLY) sad to actually leave the East. Fortunately most of my friends know someone in UT and might actually come and see us too.

Thanks to my awesome fashion consultant I looked great...the dress from Costco (which is the same dress she got for her husbands dinner), and I borrowed her jewelry and shoes! The best food of the night...peanut butter and chocolate pie...YUM YUM!

Salvation Army vs. the GAP

Today I had the rare opportunity to go shopping by myself (thanks Lauren!) I have had a store credit to the gap forever and have gone 3 different times and just have not found anything I liked. Well today I was determined to get it over with. Well, as I was shopping by myself and it is Wednesday (half price at Salvation Army) I decided to go there too. I found some really cute gaucho pants, darling high heal sandals a skirt that I knew Sarah would wear and pj shorts for Sarah that she needed (why I was there in the first place). Grand total: $5.25

Then I went to the GAP. After trying on various pants I went with a cute pair of floods - you can't really call them carpi's because they are almost to my ankles - two tee shirts and a pair of pants for Aaron (which were supposed to be his size but drowned him...DARN I have to go back to that blasted store!) Grand total: $70.97.

Even though I had store credit for $69 worth I liked the things I got at Salvation Army much better. Am I twisted or what!

Seriously can't that tooth fairy get it together!

Dear Tooth Fairy,

You are fired AGAIN! Why are you consistently one day late in seeing that my child is paid for her tooth? She has been wiggling it for months now and the last few weeks it was only hanging on by a mere thread. How did you not see this one coming? Please send a replacement tooth fairy next time or be here on the night she loses her tooth!

Yours truly, A frustrated mom
