A Quick Update

So far I have packed a few boxes. It's been really hard. It's like packing up an old friend. As I am packing I ask, "WHY are we doing this?" But I have felt peace and know Heavenly Father 's hand is in my life.

We have rented out our house to some people that used to be in our ward. We have a good feeling about it.

This weekend we plan to go down and look at some houses. We talked to some people and have a good feeling about a few places. So if all goes well we will be moving in a few weeks.

I am going to miss all my dear friends. I will just have to plan trips up here and they will have to plan trips down there.

By the Way: Happy Leap Year

Here is a poem from my mom:

Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November;
All the rest have thirty-one
Save February, she alone
Hath eight days and a score
Til leap year gives her one day more.

Moving

It's true, we are moving. Ben has been trying for a few years at a Sergeant spot. We always thought he would get a promotion somewhere close and we wouldn't have to move. But we are so happy with the way things turned out. We will be moving back to Southern Utah to be closer to family. We will only be an hour away from my parents. It's going to be a bitter/sweet move. We have lived here for 8 years and have truly grown to LOVE the people and area. The kids seem to be doing OK with the idea of moving. Kaelynn has been writing "goodbye" notes to her friends (sad). She also wrote this note to Ben.

Can you tell where will be moving? She needs to work on her spelling.

Coleman 6 months

The more kids I have the faster time goes. Coleman turned 6 months old on the 16th. We didn't do anything exciting except take him to the Dr. He is doing great by the way. Here are a few things to remember:

-Rolls around. Both sides, front to back.

-Can sit up for a short period of time

- Likes to be held (Not so fun for me)

-Started eating rice cereal, apples and bananas.

- Favorite toy is paper

-Sleeps about 8-9 hours at night

-Takes 3-4 naps a day

-No teeth

I am going to try squash out this week. I hope Coleman likes squash, because I made a ton. Right now he usually only eats once cube at a time. I still have bananas in the freezer too. I probably won't have to make another batch of squash.

Valentines Day 2012

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. We had a fun day. Kaelynn and Tyler had school parties. I went to Tyler's party and it was a lot of fun. Ben had the day off and worked on the truck. It was a great day!

Valentine Dinner. This was so good. I cooked lobster tail for the first time and it turned out delish! We also had steak, potatoes and cheesy biscuits. O man my tummy is full.
Helping with Tyler's Class party!

Valentine's from Grandma. We love Valentines from grandma. She even made homemade sugar cookies. YUM!
