So we haven't been that busy. Six weeks after we moved to our new place we got a call from our LandLord. We were given 30 days to move from her home.

So, we frantically began looking and found this home that fell right in our price range the week we looked at it and 2 days after our notice! We got our loan, closed and moved in 25 days later thanks to our awesome real estate agent! It has a beautiful view from the window in the living room:

The day after we unloaded in our new home we drove to Utah to visit our family. Tanner's parents were leaving on a mission and we wanted one last hurrah before we saw them again (in 18months). We love and miss them so much already!

At the cabin we got to spend time with Dylan and Leah's latest: sweet little Lucy Love H. Check out her sweet monkey hair!

Hello, my gorgeous sister in law. Could your eyes and outfit be anymore perfect?! Leah made Lucy's blessing outfit and Olivia helped stitched the heart. I love it!

Olivia (the oldest) is Dylan and Leah's. She's holding Holden and Nicole's baby girl, Belen. Hendrix is Hana and Nic's baby- he's the adorable one in the green shirt up front. Nash and Gage are Dylan's kids too. We had a ton of fun with these cousins!

While on our trip we got the good news that our awesome friends from Idaho were making a special trip just to see us! We had a ton of fun chillaxin and enjoying the outdoors nearby. Thanks guys!

We be Trippin'

The boys and I flew back home for a fun trip to see my brother who's leaving on a mission and all of my extended family.

Everyone but one person of my grandpa's 100+ posterity was there. This included all of his 8 children and spouses, their children and spouses and his great grandkids (a true miracle). The only missing link was Tan the man himself. He needed to save his days off to see his parents who are leaving on a mission next month. Pretty exciting times for us.

Grandpa got everyone tickets to Tarzan that wanted to come. With 20 minutes left in the show Liam turned to me and asked, "Are we outside?"

Grandpa's house

Homemade rockets.


Money hunt. Grandma chucks in some sweet change and the kids fight to the death to find it in the sawdust.

Before the hunt Liam was stung by either a wasp or bee on his cheek. 30 minutes before that he was stung on his arm. I kept asking him what the bug looked like to get an idea...

Later in the day he showed me this creature that Julian's holding. "Mom, this is the bug that bit me."

Get Your Griz On

Tan's work scored us tickets to the first home game and pre-game President's brunch. It was pretty cool; tickets are pretty expensive and everyone from miles around are so excited for this team.

Out of all those attending at the brunch, my name got pulled out of the hat to receive a free Grizzly sweatshirt :) The look on their faces when they read my name was priceless. Nobody had a clue who I was.

During the game both teams got pulled off the field due to lighting that was hitting 3-7 miles of the stadium. After huddling under the concession awning for 45 minutes it cleared up rather suddenly:

To quote a local journalist, "The only things that slowed the Grizzlies Saturday were a couple bolts out of the blue and gray." The team won 73-2 (got to love those first game match-ups).

Side Tracked

I should be searching for a home right now, but instead I'm taking a minute to play with these guys. (Totally posed by themselves, thank you very much.)
