Halloween

We were Pirates again this year because Hey we are in a new place and no one saw our costumes last year. Kiya did join us as a pirate this year however. We had a good time and Ryan's employee didn't recognize him when we ran into her!!! And yes I did get braces, that is  not "fun" pirate costumery on my teeth.

So excited!

My friend just launched her first craft DVD. I know it will be great and I am so excited for her. If you are into crafting, especially scrapbooking check her out at mypinkstamper.com  she has some awesome giveaways this week to celebrate the launch of her dvd.

I learned how to make a "movie"!

I learned how to make a movie this week! It was actually super easy on my mac. Yeah! Now I can combine all of my little short videos of our family and adventures into a movie! So excited! Then I can send a copy to the grandparents and great grandparents! 

This is some clips from when I for to go to the Canary Island of Tenerife with just my mom. We had a great relaxing couple of days! Excuse the swim suit.

Finally a few pics!

Our main computer with all of our pictures is kinda freaking out so I can't put any pics on from there but thanks to my BFF who is great at taking pictures I can post a few that she took. Thanks!

Kiya at the zoo was roaring like a gorilla!
The Last Lunch (before I moved). Thanks for the great lunch ladies!

My BFF thru me a great surprise farewell get together. It was a great ladies night!
She also had a Memorial Day get together at her house that was super fun, but guess where my little man was most of the time. Brekken kept getting the drinks our of the ice!

Hopefully I can get some more up soon.  We have been busy figuring out business things, and working and unpacking (yes still). My mom is here now and the kids love having her and she has been helping me a lot! Aren't mom's the best?? I know mine is! This week we might actually eat dinner at home everynight! I am very excited about this because our lives have been so hectic lately that we don't always get to eat at home:( It is sure nice to have an extra set of hands!

He Never said it would be easy.... Only Worth it

Well we survived Graduation and the big move as well as it taking a month for the internet to get set up (we only had one choice for a provider and so got stuck waiting for them) anyway. Our lives have been extremely crazy and I feel like we are on a rollercoaster that never stops. All was perhaps too easy with the way things fell in to place for us to make the big move/step that perhaps I should have been expecting all to go crazy when we got here. With all of the many things and the extreme exhaustion I am feeling right now compounded by an emotional blow from out of the dark I CAN'T SLEEP. I really should be but hey isn't how that works?? When you really want to be you can't. For the last couple of hours I have just been reminding myself that the Lord never said that it would be easy he only said that it would be worth it. This is probably really bad but I am having a hard time waiting for the worth it. I know that the reference was really about our entire life but I think that it applies a lot in our life. I do like my new place, and our new ward and my jobs are even good. I am excited about Ryan being out of school and being able to work. There is just a lot on the plate and it is different getting used to it and figuring out who can give you the support that you need when you need it. I miss many many things about Oklahoma, but most of all I miss the shoulders that I knew I could cry on. And for those of you who know me well you know that I have a hard time asking for help. I miss that I had such good friends in Oklahoma that I couldn't get away with that no matter how hard I tried. Thanks to all of you for being in my life. On lighter notes Ryan is really enjoying being out and practicing and things are going well with that now that we finally got his license after sitting on some guys desk for two weeks. (That is a whole nother drama) Kiya is in Tball and liking it. You should see ryan though, he wants Kiya to be a super star, funny daddy but I think it would be totally different if baseball wasn't his favorite sport. I am sure I would want her to be a super star if it was my sports too. We are well and climbing a mountain of to do's but we are walking one foot in front of the other and hopefully soon we can start having some fun.

The beginning of the final HOORAH!

Just a quick update to everyone so that you all know that we did not fall off the face of the earth. We have been super busy finishing up school and moving again. I so could live without the moving process. Anyaway we just got back from the Senior Graduation Dinner. We had an wonderful time and we were able to go with some dear friends of ours. Thanks for supporting us all these years. I can't believe that the end is finally here. I have been trying not to think about it because I did't want to get emotional but wow it is an amazing feeling to be done. My friend was so awesome and took lots of pictures at the dinner so when I get thoes I will post them! I will also post pictures from graduation after we get settled in our new pad.

Pictures Finally

So I know that I have been a huge slacker on updating and especially about putting pictures up. So here are some from the January and February. I actually don't have any pictures from March:( I guess that is what you get for moving. I will have some great ones from my surprise visit to my mom. I surprised her at the beginning of April and we went on a very fun girls vacation. I will tell more about that when I get all the pictures together.
