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!

Congrats on the new home! I'm jealous, we are renting because California is soooo expensive. Good luck unpacking and I can't wait to see pictures of your new place. It's always exciting to start fresh in a new place.

Good luck,
Brittney

WHAT?!?! Just a few weeks go by and KABOOM Noah has a whole set of chompers? My oh my. I think its safe to say your boysers are the cutest "guys" (as Gavin would say being a guy) ever.
Ya, unfortunately we didnt get our lazy butts out to the garage sale, bumbs me out but atleast I saved what I didnt spend right? I have to look to the positive side. :)
Im happy youre starting to get settled in, nothings worse than living in boxes. :(
Hope to see you Tuesday?

I'm so happy for you guys and your first home! I miss our Nampa house so much. Hopefully we will become home buyers again soon. It's nice to be able to do whatever you want to the walls and what not.

We miss you guys! I can't believe how big your kids are getting. They're so adorable!
