Some fun in the Sun!!!

We got Collin this pool this week because it has been so hot out here. He loves it he is in it almost everyday. The other day we invited Liz, Austin, and Amberly over to come swimming with us. It was so much fun. Maddie didn't really know what to think of it at first, but then really enjoyed it until some one would splash her in the face. I think that we are going to have to get a little pool for the girls to play in. Amberly was quite daring though, she would try to climb up the slide so she could go down it. She would always fall in but loved trying. Collin and Austin had no fear at all. They would try going down on their feet. It was really fun watching them play.

By the way the boxes you see are just there so the rocks will not pop the pool. We don't really have boxes just laying around our yard. (Well we do but we are waiting until trash day to put them in the recycling can. It is just so full from the move. But usually we don't have them. They did come in handy!)

A place to call home!

Sorry for all the pictures, we just want family to see our house :)

Home Sweet Home

Okay i finally have my house clean and almost everything out of the boxes to actually take some pictures and post them.

We moved in on May 9Th. It was crazy trying to find a place to live in a week. I don't know how i did it but we are here and we love our new home. We were really blessed. We have so much room an are loving it. We have a fenced back yard so Collin can play outside. There is not a lot of water here so a lot of the yards are rocks. It takes some time to get use to. It is a weird how you cant walk out back in your bare feet. We really want to put some grass in but we need to wait until we buy. It is different but we are getting use to everything out here and are learning to appreciate it. We have a lot of lizards in our backyard. I would rather have lizards then snakes though. The first Sunday we were here a lizard crawled right in our home through our garage door and right into our family room. Jason caught it and put it back outside. It was really pretty funny. Well my favorite thing right now are the sunsets. They have the most beautiful sunsets here. There are not a lot of mountains here so you can look for forever. The sky is full of clouds. Witch makes the best sunsets i have ever seen. I wish i could take a picture but by the time i finish what i am doing and grab my camera it is gone. We really love it here. Jason loves his job. We enjoy being by our family again. Collin loves having his own room again (so do we) and having his cousin Austin around again. Maddie doesn't really know the difference, but she is sleeping so much better in her own room. Everyone is doing so good. We miss all of you so much. We hope to see you soon.

Girls Night

Maddie and I had are very first girls night. Jason took Collin camping for our wards daddy and sons camp out. So we had fun painting our nails and eating cookies (well i ate cookies) and going to sleep early. I know it doesn't sound very fun but we have been busy lately so i haven't really had time to spend time alone with with Maddie. It was just what we needed. It was really nice to actually do real girl things. When Collin is here we cant exactly paint our nails because he wants to do it to. So for Jason's sake i have to do "manly things" around Collin so he doesn't act like a sissy (as Jason puts it). But believe me he might want to paint his toes every once in a while but he is total boy. So it was nice to have time with Maddie, and actually get a good nights rest.
