Bundled up to go out. Clover seem to really enjoy the cold....seriously.
She is constantly in the pantry grabbing cereal. Notice the door knobs...they are levers so there is no chance of keeping her out.
An after school project. They did a really good job.
Let the whole truth be known. We could not keep the thing together.
So we decided to eat it several weeks early.
Our second day here in our new city. Cold and beautiful.
While Stevey and the rest of the family were relocating someone so generously decided to vandalize our other vehicle while it was parked at our friends house....Welcome to Idaho!
Dalton's first day of school included a slip on the play ground, a head to the play equipment, and a black eye.
So do you think it made the guys like him better because he's tough? Well he has friends so it must not of hurt him socially too much!

Making My Mother Proud
For our FHE project tonight we are going to take cookies around to our neighbors and introduce ourselves (hopefully it won't look like we are begging for their friendship which we are) and you know do that whole thing.
I just sampled one of the cookies I slaved all morning over and it was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. I have made this recipe for over twenty-five years and it has always worked except for now.
The question....will I still deliver them? The answer is YES! And as of now I really don't care how disgusting they are. I am almost all alone in this whole city, megga pregnant, lonely, and pissed off. So enjoy my dear nieve little neighbors and hopefully they will be touched by my inabilities at cooking and offer to bring in some dinner!!

New Home
After being shown over thirty houses in two days this is the one we chose. What we like best about this house is the location and yard potential. It is located in a cul de sac, on a third acre, with our church just around the corner. The streets are wide (those of you from San Antonio will appreciate this) and clear of cars and traffic.
My least favorite thing about this house is the lack of size and lack of flow of the kitchen and the size of the dining room. HOWEVER we do get these stainless steel appliances so it makes it a little better.
Some of my favorite things are the finished basement, duel sink in the master, and the closet in the master.
For the next couple of weeks we are going to continue with this level of insanity. Stevey is leaving for his new job in a few days, the movers are coming and moving us on the 15th, we close on our SA house on the 16th and me and the kids will head out that night to pick Stevey up in El Paso....who is flying there so he can help us get to our new destination and still be back in time for work on Monday. We close on our new house on the 21st (the day before Thanksgiving) if we miss that day it will be Monday the 26th. We do have a couple of back up plans if things don't run as scheduled.
We have been able to see the hand of the Lord in everything that has been happening lately and are so grateful for his love, direction, and Spirit that has sustained us and kept us pressing forward.

SOLD!
You would never guess that this is the worst time of year to sell a house or that the market really is struggling, because after just a week and a half our house is SOLD!
Christi Easton is quite the miracle worker and worked her magic for us, thank you.
Everyone keep their fingers crossed for us winning the salary negotiations presently going on with Idaho Falls!

What a Weekend!
Our Weekend started on Wednesday night when our friends the Yeates made it into town from Dallas. It has been a couple of years since we've seen them.
On that same night another friend came into town from Houston with her girls so we all got together for some brownies and ice cream.
YUMMY!
The following day the Yeates were to come to our house for a nice Mexican dinner, BUT that was the day that the rain didn't stop falling and they couldn't get to our house due to flooding and road closures. They had to spend the night in their hotel room with with nothing to do...sounds like a great time.
We had to wait in too many lines for way too long. Our one year old girls were all out of patience and Clover cried for what felt like hours until I sat her here in this beach chair and gave her this bag of crackers. We won't even talk about the woman who accused my friend of stealing her "saved" beach chairs and who started thowing our bags around and the tantrum I threw over it!!!!
Around one o'clock we went to the parking lot to say good bye to our friends and to exchange lunch...no food is allowed to be brought into the park. They ate it on their way home to Dallas.
By the next day and immediately after Stake Conference (that I enjoyed walking the hallway and in the drinking fountain with Clover) Zoie decided she was going to run away! On her way out the door she was considerate enough to drop us a note.
Stevey quickly caught up with her and gave her a cell phone to use incase she got scared or needed anything.
After about two minutes on her own Stevey set out to follow her just in case this got too serious, and luckily he found her in the drive way unsure where to go. They decided to take a walk together and take pictures with the cell phone camera. By the time they made it back home she felt much better and had a great time with her family.
