lots of updates

Well we've been really busy the past few weeks at our house(es). We finished up painting and cleaning the house in Parowan. Last weekend we moved most of the essential living items and spent the rest of the week sorting those out. Unfortunately the cord for my camera is in a box somewhere downstairs yet to be found. Don't worry even though we are without photos, I didn't leave you without any visuals :)

2 Fridays ago the boys had their last day at North elementary. That was a hard day! We have all loved their teachers and friends at North and it was very hard to say goodbye! Last Monday the boys started at Parowan elementary...see here they are:
Don't they look happy there? They are, they have both done really well adjusting. Tyler has Mr. Wilcken and Jesse has Mrs. Rassmusen. They both like their teachers and have made a friend or two. They also like playing with our neighbor Ethan. They're so excited to have a friend right next door.

I've also had quite a few requests for pictures of our new house. As soon as I find the cord...promise. In the meantime, it still looks a lot like this....

Last Sunday we went to my cousin Justin's missionary homecoming, or whatever they call them these days. It was a lot of fun to see him and to visit with my cousins and aunts. Thanks for the fun time and the yummy food. I had lots of fun visiting!

After we got back from St George last Sunday, Crystal cut all the boys hairs (Hairs is plural because Josh thinks it's pointless to get only one hair cut so we get our hairs cut in this family). They looked nice and spiffy for their first day of school.

We wouldn't want to leave Josh out, he got his hairs cut too....



And an update on Tracen. He's standing and not holding onto anything this week. He thinks he's quite big to balance all on his own and has a big smile on his face when he does it. The other two boys were just learning to crawl at this point. He's a go-er (is that a word?) I hope he doesn't walk before he's 1!
