Where have I been?

Dreams, Family, Family Fun, Kevin, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Move to Utah, Travel, Vacation
OK, if Kevin did this, it would be an entirely different landscape, but here's mine, I've been all over the West having grown up in Utah, and lived in Idaho as a baby, and then there's the 6 years in Texas, and the drives between Utah and Texas (we mostly flew), both the Kansas route, and the New Mexico route, personal preference, I like the southwest route.  In the near future I'll add Oregon and Washington.  Kevin served his mission in Portland Oregon, so we hope to make a trip back there soon since our family vacation time no longer needs to be spent to SEE family. :) visited 12 states (24%)Create your own visited map of The United States Oh yeah, and sad as it is, I've never left…

re-cap of the last two months Part I

Aiden, Animals, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Move to Utah, Pictures
So looking back, it looks like I need to re-cap through the move...  We've certainly been having fun, and my computer isn't as centralized as it's been, making computer time more rare and hard to come by. So looking back, it looks like I need to re-cap through the move...  This is going to take a few posts, and I'm going to split it and post them fourth to first, so that they read down the page correctly...  So...  If I ever get around to booking my blog (or whatever they call it) you'll have to skip ahead a couple pages and flip back.  Sorry for the inconvenience. Highlights (and lows) since just before the move~ November 1st (the day after we agreed to the new job) we went up…

Bella and Edward in Utah

OK, maybe not all together, LOL! Wednesday morning Joseph, Aiden and Michael set out on our trip up to Utah.  We got on our first flight without too much stress (heaven bless whoever invented a good double stroller), and we sat down to get settled on our first flight (that's right, we had a layover) As soon as I was settled a Man came down the isle with a little girl and a wife with a baby girl.  As soon as they sat down the woman started hyperventilating and stressing about a flight with two kids...  Um yeah lady, I had to bite my tongue to not tell her to find 4 more kids, or add a kid and loose the husband, and then complain...  Soon after we took off the husband asked me why I'd fly alone with…

Our last date in Texas!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Dreams, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Move to Utah, Pictures
So lastnight we were able to get out on the town one last time.  Last Christmas Kevin was drawn for a gift card for Trevesio's for $100!  Sweet deal! The first time Kevin gave me a tour of the Med center was right after they finished the water fountains there, and we walked up to the top and peeked into the restaurant and said "I hope we can eat here someday, that would be a lot of fun!"  He's had a couple work lunches there but they were more of a "here's a platter, pick what you like" format. Well being 9 months pregnant last Christmas, and me being miserable it just didn't happen while we had two kids.  Then with marathon nursing around the clock, and several other big…

Halloween Costumes

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Family, Family Fun, Games, Health Concerns, Holidays, Humor, Kevin, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Move to Utah, Pictures, The end is near
In the spirit of blogging, and since I'm so picture obsessed, it's only fair, regardless of other circumstances, to share some Halloween snapshots.  Friday was the day we made our final decisions on the job and move, so it was a BIG day in many ways! We went to the ward "Trunk-or-treat," and had a great time. Michael was our "Soccer 'ball' Player"  I got the outfit at the AF DI, on our trip last month, and hoped he'd latch onto the "basketball player" idea, he didn't, after three weeks of 5 different ideas a week, we went to Traders Village, and ran across some soccer balls, he decided he wanted to be a "Soccer 'ball' Player" (the "ball" addition all his own), but when it came down to time…

We’re Moving!

Dreams, Family, Family Fun, Kevin, Life in Texas, Move to Utah
And this isn't just a move down the block! Kevin has a job offer in Sandy Utah, he's taking it, which means we're moving, and that our kids will get to grow up knowing their grandparents and other extended family!!  We're beyond thrilled. Edited to answer a few Questions people are having~ He'll roughly be doing the job that he was doing before we moved to Houston (new company). He's got 12-18 months of school left before his Bachelors (depending on what he takes on each semester), and we're hoping he'll get a promotion once he graduates.  It's nearly impossible to be in his current position without a degree, so we've been very blessed, but we've prayed about it and it's definitely time for a change. Amanda, that was one…
