 His teacher Mrs. Rogers reading them there last story

 Us all clapping and taking pictures.. Glad Mason could lean in to the picture..

 Mom with the big Graduate

Dad and Sadie helping Ethan do the craft

With his alphabet book he made and his best friend Carson (who is 3 1/2 who's mom is the other teacher so he gets to go) Glad Ethan befriended him he is cute, turns out he has an older brother who is Ethan age who well he's younger then Ethan to. but long story short. Great family we have done things with them. next post..  So glad Ethan befriend him. Also one of the only other LDS kids in his class. 

 ANYWAYS...

So proud of him- his is not the shy kid that I thought he was going to be he out grew that. He still is quite and I did get a note brought home once that said he couldn't stop laughing! 

He's growing up to be one sweet heart! 

Ethan's other teacher with Mitch

Oh also forgot to say Erik wasn't going to be able to make it but he did. We were all so happy I didn't have a fun time carrying Mitch a watermelon with fruit kabob things sticking out everywhere.  So I was probably most happy to see him sneak in. 

I wish my camera worked better grrr, all these pictures are weird..

Easter Weekend

Easter Morning pic, I was not planing on a bonnet for Sadie

but when I saw this one at Target I had to buy it.

Oh the brotherly love

 I DID IT....... I made her a dress and I actually did it right after I posted about making

her one. So it was so hard to not let her where it the week before Easter.

 A little more of the huge bow

As for Mitch I was sewing those bottoms on right before church...

 My First Zipper and Snap dress, I lucked out and had the yellow zipper and loved it, and did the snap on the shoulder strap.

I have some good looking parents!! So glad you came, love you!

We went to the famous Mesa Easter Pageant

Darn kids got in the way but one of the cast members, and there lamb.

Waiting for it to start. I loved the palm trees in the back. 

We invited some non members and got some good seats.

Mitch's first hair cut

 Before

After

giving me a look like Stop taking pictures mom.. Yes I got a hair cut that's enough. or he hates it..

The wedding

They came and found me dressed and ready for their wedding! 

The funny thing about this is they were begging me to take a picture.. Im sure Sadie can blackmail him latter with it!

what...

So where have I been?

Well.. here, just doing nothing- really..

I feel like I am living in a dream- I havent really done anything for awhile.

Half of our home is packed with boxes and it feels like I am just living on a long vacation-

I havn't touched my sewing machine for MONTHS... I havent done anything with buttons.. which I wanted to do, a new years goal a new craft with all my buttons.

I just feel weired. really- we go on bike rides and go swimming, take Ethan to school but thats all. I go out and get food. thats my outing..

So I need to change.. I put it on here so maybe I will.. I want to make Sadie a Easter dress.. Can I do.. Yes I can.. if I can only open the right boxes to get what I need..

So there you go.. I am still alive and I am loving this nice warm weather that is sure heating up way to fast....

Mitch at six (months)

Mitchell was 6 months on the 27th of last month, I'm a little slow..

 

He is loving:

  getting up on his knees and pushing off,

sitting up, but still falls some,

saying da da, gaggaaaa, 

smiles all the time,

rolls all over the house,

and flirts with all the girls.

petting zoo

 Last week we went to a petting zoo, it was fun that camel be hide us was HUGE...

 I was thinking the whole time... this is going to be the day that I see on Discovery Chanel of where the petting zoo gone mad. those horns would have hurt.. But I was just being very paranoid and scaring the kids when they were just fine. 

all in all it was fun, free, and lots of candy. 

happy v.day

so its not to happy at our house. mom's sick and when mom's sick nothing gets done..

until dad gets home who made us a very nice dinner and cleaned up the kitchen, and even brought me home some

seira mist because there is no HFCS now that I'm married to a doctor we are more health orientated, Sugar free Popsicle,

and Im glad he knows me and knows I would have been sad or mad that It was V.day and I didn't get any chocolate so he brought me the 8 pack of reese's.

Im guessing he thought I was smart enuf not to eat them while Im sick.. well 2 are gone.. :)  I feel lots better now!

I did write everyone a sweet v.day letter, each kid so that they can collect them each year and when they get older they can read them,

or when Sadie has a boy who brakes her heart she can pull out her love letters from mom and know that I love her, I would say the same for Eth and Mitch but there boys they wont care... There be the heart breakers!

Happy love day!

Sadies sad tooth

 When we were in Portland with boxes everywhere Sadie came in our room one night and tripped over one and hit her mouth on our bed frame and now her tooth is dead- I thought it would fall out but it hasn't yet, it just slowly has gotten darker and darker...

She's sporting the ever so sweet nerf glasses up.side.down! Protect those eyes Sadie!!!

We made it

This is at my parents house.

 Then this is a shot through the window on the way to AZ.

This is beck and I helping Abbi and Hailey get ready for there fun dance Friday night! 

Look how gorgeous they are:

We made it after a very eventful trip here, It all starts with us leaving Portland and getting to Preston at 6 p.m. and my sister saying "Lets go play some ball tonight" so after sitting all day I went and played B.ball for a hour and realized how much I truly Love playing and miss it! I really haven't played in like 4 years.

Anyways woke up that next day to get my hair done and
my sister and I have a shopping day together. Then that night we had a fun game night with the fam, we played Curses it was SO fun and hilarious!!

Saturday we leave to go to see my Dad in Brigham and the car really sounded weird so Erik asked my dad and they took it to check the tires, So we got two new ones on the back and still theirs a sound. So next step took it to my dad's fixer, He said it was way to full of transmission fluid. So went to Jiffy Lube and they said "No its fine" And the fixer guy said it might be the bearings and so my step-brothers-in-law work on our car all day while I hang with my step sisters who I actually haven't met until then so it was a great day meeting family.  Well they changed both bearing in the front and got back to my dad's at 6p.m. but the sound was still there. So we woke up and went to Church with them and took off about 2. Hoping our car was not going to blow up on the way..

We stayed in Panguitch at my brother-in-laws parents house, it was really fun they are so nice.
Then we made it to Mesa that next day. We came into our apartment and it felt so small, which it is but now that I have everything in its fine, I have lots more kitchen room so that is nice, just no place to have my sewing machine or anything I would have in a craft room/office. But I love the location of it though. It looks out to the pool (the picture below) and I was thinking I would have to say go bye to the green but I didn't its VERY green! A big plus is Erik walks to work and I have a CAR!! There is a bunch of people in our ward her. And Ethan has already made a buddy! Who kinda lives at our house when he gets home from school... hmmm still don't know what I think about that..

Today at church the kids came out of class and said they loved there teachers and they were really funny, and Sadie said her's were silly! Lots of people came up to us and introduced themselves. It seems to be a very great ward. I'm excited to becoming apart of it.  Recap as of this week. week 2 already got a vt rout and lots more friendly people!

One crazy thing happend!! Alot of you know my friend Heather Miller well she has a twin.. And she came to my door and said.. Do I look familiar and then just gave her a big hug! Her best friend lives here who is the mom of the little guy Ethan is hanging out with!! SO SO small of a world!!

We are loving going on walks everyday and just hanging out outside! Its great! And I am already acclimatized I think!! Because I was cold tonight when I went outside, and it was probably 60! Oh Erik starts work tomorrow, yahoo good luck babe! And also my Mom made it back from Mexico feeling GREAT she had a great week up there with lots of energy to bring home! I'm excited for her, she said she even tried running, which she said she shouldn't have done because she had forgotten how to. I'm glad your home safe mom! Now come and see me ;) Before we move again!!
 

Here is from my living room and kitchen view, so you see we are right next to the pool, 

and do you see all those trees! And the nice blue ski!!

Here are the kids eating there oranges they picked off the tree tonight. And of course they could not just smile for me!
