We are back in business Folks!

Well its been way too long since i've been able to keep everyone posted on our lives, not to mention, keeping updated on everyone else's!!! We FINALLY have internet and after reading through my THOUSANDS of unread emails, i FINALLY get to check and update our blog! yay!! We have officially moved in! Pictures are on the walls, MOST of the boxes are empty and broken down, and HALF of the garage is clean. It has been a ton of work but SOOOO much fun!! We had forgotten what it was like to live alone! It's like been newlyweds all over! ;-0! We have had 2 big parties already.

Warren FINALLY graduated on May 16th! It was so much fun to go to his graduation. The kids were great, and Landen enjoyed watching and screaming at Daddy from a distance! We came home and had a HUGE BBQ party with tons of friends and family. We had well over 50 people in and out that day. At the same time we were also celebrating Landen's 3rd birthday. So we rented a bouncy house (which was really more fun for the adults than it was the kids). Landen had chosen a Spongebob theme so I made a totally awesome Spongebob cake by hand., it really did turn out awesome and i was way proud of myself. It was a lot of fun! We have so many great friends and family who all came to support and congratulate Warren and of course, spoil little Landen! Warren is still looking for a job. He has been working on a prospect for a banking position but we will see what happens there.

Warren and i took Landen out for a day of fun on his actual birthday. We went to Monkey Bizness for the first time and it was a blast!! It was cheap, and way fun for the whole family!! If you haven't gone, its a must!!! I'm not sure who had more fun, us or the kids.

Kaylee is just turned 8 months! She is still not crawling, i don't think she ever will. She will roll all over. It'll take her mere seconds to get from one end of the house, around the corner and down the hall. I'm still trying to figure out how she does it so well!

As for me, i ended up getting the job i wanted but decided to turn it down. i was pretty bummed because i wanted the job, but knew that i wouldn't be able to be away from the kids that much. So now i'm just home with the kids and still watching other kids. I'm hoping to get my daycare license soon and able to watch more kids.

Anyway, theres just a few updates on us. We are doing wonderful and enjoying the warm weather we've had! I took Landen to roaring springs the other day and it was wonderful!!! He had a blast and i'm so looking forward to using our season passes as much as we can!!! The next morning he told Warren he wanted to go to the Ocean, he's definately my little guy!!! When i have a little more time, i will post pictures!!

Landen is officially 3 today! I cant believe it. I cant believe we survived it! Oh what fun its been! Happy birthday to my favorite lil man! I love u bubbas!

unpacking, unpacking, unpacking

Boy have we had a busy couple days! We found out on saturday we could move into our house a day early so first thing monday morning Warren and i went to sign papers for the house, got the key and started moving in. Warren and his buddy moved as much furniture as they could in about 2 hrs then went off to work for the afternoon. I had two extra kids with me that day so we made a couple trips back and forth between our new house and the old house to get as much as i could in my jeep with 4 kids... which wasn't much! but it worked. We got all of our stuff from storage cleared out yesterday which is awesome! But now my garage is FULL of boxes, and i will have practically no help from Warren because he will be working. So Landen has been a lot of help and has enjoyed his new house. He LOVES being able to go outside all by himself and have the freedom of a huge house to play in! He loves his room and i am really exicted to start decorating the kids room. It's funny how the little things you really take for granted... like CLOSETS! Its so wonderful for the kids to have a closet! I don't how i ever managed without it!!

Warren went to work for the first time on monday night and in just about 2 hours did really well. He has a couple potentials that he just needs to go back to but he seems to enjoy it already. He gets really fustrated sometimes when people won't sign up because it could save them quite a bit of money so its funny to watch him talk about it when he gets home. Oh the stories already! :-)

As for Kaylee, she has a really bad ear infection and had to be on meds. Our first night at the new house i think the kids and us slept a total of 2 hrs. Kaylee was up all night sick and Landen's asthma was really bad. He had 2 asthma attacks and was coughing so bad he would gag himself. We have decided he has "allergy induced asthma" now instead of "exercise induced asthma". Poor kids, and after a long day of moving... pooor us! But i got them into the dr the next morning, got some "feel better treats" and they slept MUCH better the next night!

Last night after another long day of packing and unpacking i took a long hot bath, got into bed and crashed! Warren and i both have our fair share of battle wounds from moving and i'm sure its not about to end there!

Anyway, we are definately enjoying our new house! I absolutely love it and would totally be content staying there forever! Its beautiful, it's practical, it's exactly what we need! I am so exicted to start unpacking and going through everything that's been in storage for almost 2 years! We didn't even know how the stuff we had!! So it'll be a fun few weeks!

I cant believe it but driving home today i actually said, do u want me 2 pull this car over and spank u? I never thought i would say that but hey it worked. guess my mom did know what she was doing! Lol! Love ya mom!

Beautiful sunshiny days!

The last couple days have been soooo warm and we have DEFINATELY been taking advantage of it! I have totally neglected my laundry, my cleaning, my packing and just played outside with the kids. Landen would live outside it were an option and i think Kaylee's getting there...

We pulled out Landen's pool and put the slide in it (the ONLY way to play in a pool), added a few water balls and squirt guns to play with....We added lots of color to Grandma's side walk...

Daddy taught Landen how to drink from the fire hydrant....

I got these totally awesome, totally kandid pictures of Landen....! I just LOVE them!

Then it was time for a nap...

And for me to get back to the never-ending laundry, the cleaning and the packing....

Sunday afternoon naps...

Today some of us got to enjoy the well missed, but often sotafter sunday afternoon nap. We unfortunately don't get to enjoy it anymore as we have church from 1-4 but today we owe it all to stake conference... yay! Warren and Landen had fallen asleep while Kaylee and i were playing in our bedroom. When Kaylee decided it was her turn for a nap i went to check on my boys. They were both out and then i noticed they were HOLDING HANDS! It was so sweet! I had to hurry and grab my camera, luckily i was able to get a few good shots before one of them moved! It was just so stinkin cute! Warren doesn't even know i took the picture, so he'll see it for the first time reading our blog, lol!

Where have 7 months gone?!?

Our little Kaybear turned 7 months on friday! It's so surreal to me to literally watch her grow! I often catch myself rocking her sleep just to sit down, hold her and foss her soft fuzzy little head. She is the calmest, sweetest, smiliest, happiest little baby! She is such a joy to have around and i wouldn't have it any other way. She has her Daddy wrapped around her tiny little fingers and she knows it! She will make the slightest little squeek and Daddy will come RUNNING to the rescue. Then when she sees him she gets the biggest grin on her face! She loves to play, and laugh, and watch Landen run around, and is definately finding her voice, which is a lot of fun! It's just not fair how fast time goes with babies. Where have 7 months gone? What have i done the last 7 months? What do i have to show for it??
