Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers and soon to be mothers! I hope everyone had a very relaxing and joyous day. I had a wonderful day! We got to listen to my second set of parents report their mission in our old ward. It was the couple we house sat for, also my good friend Emily's parents. Like my mom said at dinner after church " I could have listened to them speak for the whole three hour block." They did such a good job. My younger sis Amanda and I made dinner for my side of the family after church. I have to say it was really good.
Cort and I took our kids out to the cemetary to see his mom's grave. This was the first time we took Noah.
I wanted to take pictures of the boys. We have pictures of Gavin when he was about Noah's age out there. The boys fell asleep in the car and we had to wake them up. You can tell who is a bear when their sleep is disturbed. Cort says Gavin takes after me and that I am always grouchy when someone has to wake me up.
On the other hand Noah lights up with his big cheesy grin every time a camara is in his face.
We have ended our day at my father inlaws house. We come over every Sunday night and just shoot the bull. I guess it is on to another week. I hope this one is better than last.

The Big Move!!!


Well for everyone who thinks I fell off the wagon. I am back! We have had a very crazy month of April and our blog pretty much was forgotten for awhile. For those who don't know we finally made the big move into our first house. We got the keys on April 1st, but since we were still house sitting till the 26th we couldn't completely move over. Living in two houses on opposite ends of the valley can be very advantageous, but also very hard. I never knew what stuff was in what house. My poor kids were so sick of being hauled around by the time we got everything moved and the old house cleaned. I think we quadrupled the amount of stuff from our first move. At least we made some money at our garage sale with stuff we have never used in four and a half years. We are loving our new house and will get some pictures of it when we get some of the piles of boxes put away. We haven't had a lot of time between work and other things. Cort's new office in Nampa is now finished and they moved in today. He is really excited to be close to our house. To bad I still have to drive all the way to my school which is on Warm Springs Ave. That is ok the school year is almost over and I will have a nice long break. We also get to attend our new chapel on Sunday. It sits less than 5 min from our house. We also have the elementary and middle schools that sit about 5 min away as well. We have even taken a walk to the playground at the elementary to play.
I just wanted to add how thankful I am for our friends and family that helped us to finish things at the house in Boise and move things to our home in Nampa. I especially want to thank my wife and kids for all of their patience and excitement for our new place! We are all really excited for our new house, new neighborhood, and new ward.


These our some of the last pics of our kids in the old house. We loved that house and will miss
it. We had some great times.
I love these pictures of Noah. His little sloth teeth. My baby is getting so big.
Noah just discovered his little bike. He loves to sit on it and just laugh.
This is my beautiful big boy. He is turning into such a cute guy(he always tells me he is not a boy just a guy) He doesn't think so, but he will always be my baby!
