Sunny California!

Hey, we rolled into my sisters driveway in California at 2:00 am today. We had a fantastic trip, the boys were exceptional during the drive....way better than we expected them to do! We drove to St. George and had dinner and let the boys play. We were going to stop in Vegas for a while but the boys were both out, so we just stopped and filled up the tank and kept going. We are all still a little out of it from lack of sleep, but we are doing good! We are having a family party tomorrow and then Disneyland on Wednesday and the Aquarium on Thursday. Should be fun!!!
We are surprised by the fact, as I am sure you will be too, that our internet and phone still aren't hooked-up. I will have to do some mad blogging while I am at my sisters house and have the internet.

still waiting....

This is turning into a nightmare! Because we were the first ones in the neighborhood we have the joy of being the utilities test run family. We are still waiting (not so patiently) for the internet and phone hook up. I guess the developer moved the control boxes and switched a drive way and somehow that is disrupting the service until they get it fixed (a minimum of one week, maximum three).
In other news, we all received our flu shots this week! What fun, especially for the boys!!! Tate is starting to talk up a storm. I love his little voice so much!
"Peak" season at UPS is starting early this year, Darrin is getting busier at work and I am dreading the holidays :( It is sad, but true! I know I have to look at the bright side, but it is just no fun to not see Daddy for a couple of months.
We are going on vacation on the 9th of November though. We are going to California for a week and taking our maiden voyage to Disneyland. Remy is excited!
We will post pictures as soon as our nightmare is over!!!

We're still alive!

Hey, I am sure you have all but stopped even checking to see if we are even alive and posting! We have not (and still don't) have internet access at our home. Some fiber stuff is on back order. So, I can only access the internet from work, which as you can see is pretty hard to do! We are almost settled. When you work 35 hours a week and have two crazy kids the un-packing goes really slowly. We will post some pictures hopefully by the end of next week when our internet should be up and running.
Tate and Remy just love the new space and especially the back yard which is a boys dream. All dirt (and mud, of course) and there is no one behind us, so it literally goes on for miles. I hope it stays that way for a long time too! The other day I was out planting bulbs in the front yard and by the time I was done Tate was covered from head to toe in mud and dirt. What fun!!!
We hope all is well and will be in touch more often when we have internet!!!!

What a Deal!

The Albertson's in our area are having a sale on Quaker products. If you buy in quanities of 10 you get 10 for $10!!! We bought 30 boxes of Life cereal (a huge favorite in our house) 10 boxes of Oatmeal, and 10 boxes of granola bars. We spent around $53. But, more importantly we saved about $141!!!!! What a great deal!

The big migration

We have started to move in. Oohhh, I am really trying to dis-engage my self from the whole process. If I start to think about all the work left ahead I will just have a melt down. So, I just take the advice of Scarlett O'Hara...there is always tomorrow! With God as my witness, I'll never go hungry again! (OK, Maybe that is a little overboard.) But, I just think about what I can do today and know tomorrow will come soon enough!

I am so lucky to have a loading professional on my team. He gets the trailblazer all "bricked in" and we are so much more efficient!

If you "Carrot" all...

Remy has become such a big helper with Tate. I am pleased to see that his indifference towards his brother is changing into a sort of primitive relationship. (You know, fighting over blankets and food, caveman style hugs and tackles, etc...)

I was trying to pack the kitchen up and Tate had eaten all his lunch and was still hungry. I asked Remy to give him some carrots for me. I turned around a few minutes later and saw how generous Remy had been with his brother!

Can I drive?

We met Darrin for lunch at a church the other day. The boys love looking at daddy's "office". They want to get in so bad and take that truck for a spin! I was noticing that Tate isn't even as big as the tire! We love our dad and all the hard work he does for us!!!
