The Most Amazing Family

We have the most amazing family anyone could ever ask for. I can't believe how blessed Michael the kids and I are to be surrounded by so much love. We recently purchased a house and as luck would have it we closed 1 day before we were heading out on vacation. We have an annual trip we take with a group of friends to Saline Valley so we were already committed to the trip. We knew that it would be a little difficult when we got back to find help during the weekdays to move, but that is what we chose to do. We came back from vacation on Saturday and we were going to move as much as we could on Sunday (Today) with the help of those who could after church. Well!! Much to my surprise while we were hanging out in the desert soaking up some sun and trying to relax our family (both sides included) had arranged to move us while we were gone. Michael had something to do with getting things going on this but I am pretty sure that our families just took this opportunity and ran with it. So, literally the afternoon we left members of the family were over at our "new" house cleaning it and others at the "old" house loading up stuff to bring over. Through the cold and rain by 1:30 the day after we had left they had all of our stuff out of storage and our "old" house already over to the new house. They spent the rest of the week cleaning and decorating here and there, setting up our rooms, putting the kitchen stuff away. . etc. They even had some friends to come help, our extended family really.

We had arranged for family to clean up the "new" house while we were gone, so. . . Michael and I had decided on the way home that we were going to stop by the "new" house to see if it was move in ready. Again, much to MY surprise, when we walked in the door a flash went off and lights turned on and there was my (our) family with big smiles on their faces and as I walked around I saw all of our stuff.

I seriously don't know if anyone has as awesome of a family as we do!

We love you all!!

Oh and don't worry, I will eventually find where you put everything. LOL

Saline 2009

Ok, we took way too many pictures!!! Guess that's what happens when you get a new camera and have too cute of kids! I am going to have to look through them and pick out my favorites before I upload too many. There are lots of pictures on my Facebook page.

We found a new site this year. It is called Blue Marble Bath. Someone (Wizard) actually hauled out an old bath tub and filled it with blue marbles!! It is quite a site out in the middle of nowhere. We had to check it out, the kids thought it was pretty cool. There are so many marbles that Michael never got to the bottom of the tub when he dug around. There are little yellow duckies "floating" in it too.

Getting Packed Up

The kids are doing their best to help us pack up to move, but seem to get distracted from time to time. . . . .
