Our new house finally

LOOK MOM A MOOSE

We were headed to our house the other day and this moose was in a yard eating off a stack of hay the kids started yelling so loud I thought something was wrong. Mom stop the car stop stop.So I turned the car around and we had the camera so we snapped a few pictures this was almost in town!

We can't wait!

We are just a few weeks away from moving into our new house Chris has been busy laying tile and hardwood and I am so sick of painting I never want to see another paint brush or roller ever again! We haven't put the rock on the bottom yet we are waiting for the weather to warm up so we don't have to heat the outside!anyway here is our new house!

Brylei's dance

Brylei went to her first dance performance this morning! Funny story when we got her costume from her teacher I was very dissapointed to see that it came just above her chest and there were no sleeves, so wanting her to be modest I stayed up late last night sewing on some wide silky ribbon for sleeves I was so proud of my self because it looked so cute but a little anxious to see what the teacher said this morning. When we got to the school this morning they did a practice and then we all went to the dressing room to help them into there costumes I was getting ready to put Brylei's on her when I looked around and noticed everyone elses costumes, then I started to panick I had been trying it on her upside down and sideways so what I had thought were strings to tie around her waist were actually to go around her neck making it a lot more modest then I had thought. I quickly ran out to Chris and had him use his strength to tear off the sleeves that I had so carefully sewn to the bottom of her costume. And quickly returned it to her without anyone knowing how UNCLEVER I was. Welcome to the world of dance

Treagans tongue

Treagan has discovered his tongue and it is always sticking out he is such a happy baby!

Snow snow and more snow!

We are definately ready for spring,we have had it with the snow they said it's been the worst winter in years the other day I woke up to it snowing again and I really wanted to cry. Bryhton was trying to walk across the yard to the trampoline which you can see in one picture but is no longer visible in the other. Gavin and Brylei are by the snow that has been plowed off our road what a mess it will be when it starts to get warm and melt!One plus was this beautiful sunset we saw one night!

It is so exciting to see our house finally taking shape the kids are all ready to move right now we have four kids in one little room it's been a big fight getting it to stay clean. We all can't wait it will be slow from here on out because we are doing most of the rest of it by ourselves yeah!

Fun with Clifford

Our library does so many fun things last week Clifford came and handed out free books and cookies, Then they had story reading and clifford movies playing the kids had fun. Declan ran right up to him and said I love you clifford and gave him a big hug. I couldn't hardly drag him away he thought for sure he was the real thing! The other day I was making cookies and stopped to feed the baby, Declan was really quite so I went to check on him and found him eating sugar right out of the bag there was obviously not enough in the cookies for him,no wonder he has so much energy!

Hunters Paradise

We went to Idaho Falls today to the greenbelt to let the kids feed the ducks we took a loaf of bread and it took about 5 minutes for it to be all gone there were so many ducks and geese. A hunters paradise is what Chris calls it!The kids had fun feeding and then chasing the ducks all over the place,it was pretty chilly but they didn't seem to care!
