2 wheeler!



The first week we were here Hallee learned to ride a bike. Mike and I worked with H, but no luck. The next day she taught herself how to ride a bike by herself. I guess she just put her mind to it and decided to do it. Go Hal!

I did it!


I made the girls some dresses. I had help on my first few, but now I can do it by myself. I just had to show them off.

Memorial Day



We have a tradition of going to the graves in Peoa. We stopped at my parents good friends farm and were able to spend some time with them.
Hallee actually got her nickname from Shar and Big H. My dad loved how Shar calls her husband H and it stuck with our H.
We fed the chickens and rode horses. It was a great time. It's fun to be able to spend time with family this time of year.

Home Sweet Home










I have waited to blog our move for several reasons. My parents internet wouldn't let me make comments or blog. I needed to get pictures and I have been so emotional about moving. We moved to UT almost a 3 months ago. We are finally settled and are excited for what's in store for us.
We had some great friends in AZ. We really enjoyed being there and spending time getting to know all of them. We had several outings before we left. The Durst planned a going away party and we had so much fun. I loved spending time with all of our friends. We had such a fun last week.
Hallee had a great friend named Drew in AZ. She still talks about him and misses him so much. They would play great together. I wish that she was the only one that was having a hard time. I still think that I am going to the gym with Michelle every morning and then to the park to hang out with the kidos. It has been a hard adjustment.
Moving to AZ was one of the best things for our family. We grew so much there. The first year was more difficult, but the second year went way too fast. We were so excited to meet The Grays, Hunningtons, and both Durst families.
We are adjusted and are doing great now. Change is always hard, but good. We miss all of you and hope we see and visit soon.
I know I didn't mention all of our cute friends, but you all know who you are and we LOVE you!

Pictures







I had the girls pictures taken. They are 4 and 2 and I was only a month late getting them done.

Easter

My parents came for easter weekend. We had a ton of fun. The pictures are all from my parents camera. Thank you to them. They kept the girls so busy. They blew bubbles, shopped and played with the girls a lot. We fed the ducks and played at the park a lot. My mom loves to take on craft or fun projects for the girls. It is always fun to have them come. It makes time fly when you are so busy.








For Easter we went to a Easter part and hunt at the Dursts home. We had so much fun. We ate and had a Easter egg hunt. Great friends and food. We also played Cornhole while the kids decorated cookies. I think that may be our favorite game at the moment.

Utah or Arizona?

These past few weeks have been such an emotional ride for our family. We have had so much fun in AZ. We LOVE our friends here and were so sad to even think of leaving them. I also love the weather here. I feel like we are always outside. We have some big decisions coming our way and that need to be made soon.
Let me start from the beginning. Mike has his last 2 rotations at home. We had decided to move home because there wasn't a job that he had been offered that he liked. We have arranged everything to move home. I turned in our notice of when we would be leaving. We have rented a truck and storage unit. We were set to come home. Mike got some texts, phone calls, and emails from this Dr. that he loves. It was his first rotation that he so enjoyed. I loved it too. He was 9 to 5. Who wouldn't love that? The doctor called and wanted to talk to Mike about a job. What would it hurt right? Well Mike went in yesterday and we thought that there was no decision to be made. He wouldn't offer us enough money to stay. He sure has tempted us. We now are in limbo. We have no clue what to do. We are happy here and I love it. We have friend who are like family to us.
Mike being in PA school has been such a blessing. It has made out family grow so much in the past 2 years. It has been a wonderful experience. It will be so nice to finally find out where we will be in 5 weeks.
