Alive!

Yes we are still alive! We have just been every where from California, AZ, UT to Washington and back and I finally have time to download the pictures that prove it. It has been a long journey and I am so glad to be in my own home again and back to a regular schedule. I'll start in May where I left off. After graduation the girls and I went to WA (meanwhile Justin did interviews in AZ and UT) to watch my two studly brothers run in the HS track state championships. It was great and they did awesome bringing home four medals!

Jake and James's personal cheering squad


Justin joined us in June for Jake's graduation and Taylor's fourth birthday!


Then we headed back to Phoenix to start a Temporary job. Justin's first day on the job he got a call from another dentist offering him a full-time position in Provo, poor timing! Justin had to give his two weeks notice the first day of work. So after two weeks in Phoenix we loaded up the Uhaul again and headed back to Provo. Things are still changing with work which I will post later but we have signed a year contract for the house we are renting so we will be here in Pleasant Grove for at least a year. I hate moving! But while we are here we are enjoying it. To celebrate the 4th we woke up very early to watch the hot air balloon race, it was fun but my girls fell asleep before fireworks that night!


Wow long post but after the fourth my parents came for a visit and my girls got to go fishing for the first time.

And finally...for the 24th we went and played at a park where the firefighters sprayed foam all over the field and then went swimming to clean off!


It's been a crazy three months and I am glad it is over but it was fun to travel everywhere and visit everyone. And we are so grateful for the family that took us in while we were homeless. Thank you!

How is it ok for these kids to be growing up so fast. I cannot believe Jake graduated and your kids are getting so big too. Life goes to fast.

So good to hear you are in Utah it sounds like that was crazy. We are down there often we would love to see you guys sometime. Does that mean you guys are done with Cali? I wanted to get there before you left.

I am glad things are settling for you.
