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.

Hals and Adds Dr. appt.

I scheduled the appts at the same time so it would be more fun for me. Mike was able to take off an hour and come. The girls did wonderful until it was shot time. Yes, I did get all of Hallees Kindergarten shots. Hallee got 4 and Add received 2. They both cried. Thank heaven Mike was there with us to hold Hal down. Love to see the girls healthy and growing.

I took some pictures of Mikes first time at the zoo. He's been here 2 years and never been with us.

The random things they do.

Hallee and Addie are such good friends lately. The love playing together. The love hide in go seek. I just had to snap these random pictures.

Addie turned 2!

Our little Addie turned 2 this past week. She had a combined birthday with Hallee at the end of Jan. We did celebrate it on her birthday as a family. She had so much fun blowing out her candles.
Addie is our chill child. She is so easy going. She makes Mike and I laugh everyday. She loves to do exactly what Hallee does and wishes she was a little bigger than she is. She is loving Signing Time and is learning so many signs. She loves to sit and cuddle with me and I don't want her to grow up. We love her so much and cant imagine life without her.

The little things.

Mike and I are enjoying our kids more than ever. I am going to start with Addie. She has been so cute lately. She is starting to make sentences. She loves to color. She has been using her left hand. Mike and I are trying to make her use her right. Nothing against left handed people, but we live in a right handed world. She is so funny when she goes to color. She looks at Mike or I and says "hand, hand, hand?" She is getting our approval on what hand to use. Too cute.
Hallee on the other hand is keeping us busy. She loves to play games. I find myself getting sucked into playing them all the time. She also loves to read scriptures with us. The youth and leaders have been challenged to read the Book of Mormon by May 31st. Mike and I are doing it. Mike isn't in YMs, but he helps me to read. Hallee pulls up a pillow by Mike and when it's his turn to read she repeats everything he says. I love it.
We are so grateful for this time in our life.

Hallee has her own camera. Her picture was taken by her camera. She loves it!
