~The Marathon Move~


And the work begins....
We did it! After moving for almost 18 straight hours, blistered feet, rough hands, and with the fabulous help of our family and dear friends (which we cannot thank all of them enough) We can finally call our house our new home. We are over the top thrilled with the way things worked out for us. We love it here, it turned out so wonderful. We are extremely blessed to already make new friends and to be able to add them to the list of our old dear friends. I have literally been going NON STOP for a week now. People tell you that moving is a huge job all the time. But you never really know how much of a job it is until you actually do it. And I thought I was pretty prepared, boxed, wrapped, labeled, and grouped by room. But it was still super crazy. And I am glad it is over. We are still slowly organizing little things and trying to figure out some small things. But, overall, seriously...this is where we are supposed to be, to raise our family and stay for a very long time!! We have already had neighbors come over the first day we arrived. They have to be some of the nicest people we have ever met. So friendly and very welcoming. Already offering to lend a helping hand. One young man even came over twice to ask if he could help. It is just hard to explain the feeling, it is different, a much welcomed different. Another lady that lives behind us, dropped by with a plate of cookies and told me if I needed anything to call her in a "jiffy" :) hahaha! It felt so, so good to have that kind of welcome...

So we continue to settle, unpack and organize. We are so very happy and can see us here forever and looking forward to a very happy future...

Day at the Track..


Mimi and Papa...

the ridin' boys

Just call us the motorcycle family....we spent most of the day out at the Larry Miller Sports track. Brayden had the time of his life watching dad and papa race bikes. It was fun seeing them go so fast and hearing the roar of the motors. Only a matter of time until Brayden does this himself...was a fun day!



And here he is on papas bike...not much longer until he can reach the pedals!! haha

Girls Trip!!








A few weeks ago I got some time to relax, unwind and laugh with my girlfriends from high school. We had a blast together and stayed at my friends moms home in St. George, the house was beautiful, had cozy beds and a gorgeous view!! We of course ate lots of yummy food and treats, played games, shopped and took in the musical Aida at the stunning Tuachan venue. It was so good!! I had such a wonderful time, it was a great break...cannot wait to do it again soon!! Love ya gals..



and.. we ate at this DARLING cafe called twenty-five and main. Being the nerd I couldn't help myself am I took some snapshots, she had the place decorated to a "T", there was also live jazz music and had really yummy cupcakes, what more could you ask for??!!
