The LONG Awaited...

I know that pics of the house are long over due. It is just really hard for me take take and post pictures of a cluttered dirty not finished or decorated home. But I figure it might take me a year to get it all done. So I ask as you look at these that you not judge me and my organization skills.  I also have tons of pics from summer and soccer and the first day of school, that I will try to catch up on. We love and miss you all!!

Update From Wisconsin

So I am still in Madison working and Elsie and the kids are in Utah packing the last few things before the long haul to WI.  I will be flying out to Idaho later this week to meet up with the family for a vacation in McCall.  After 10 days of vacationing, I'll fly home to WI with Urban while Elsie and the girls make the drive.  It will be great to actually live together as a family again.

We will be moving into an apartment while the builder finishes up the house.  The house was supposed to be done mid-August, but now it won't be finished until September.  I had a meeting with the builder last week to go over what is holding them up and they didn't really have a good reason that they could validate adequately so they will be paying some extra fees.  I am pretty sure they weren't expecting me to call them out on their management of the build, but I am really wanting to get my family moved in. 

The job is going awesome!  The Tour is in full swing and the whole office is into it even though Lance isn't doing too hot.  It is great to work where people have a passion about what they do.  The humidity isn't as bad as I thought it would be, although it did take a little getting used to, especially exercising outside.  The first time I went running it felt like I had to chew the air before breathing.  Not quite like dry Utah.

Elsie has the camera and so no pictures yet.  When she gets out here I am sure she'll post some with the house.

Just a quick update.

So no pics. Sorry, I am not at home. We have been visiting family for the past 3 weeks. The girls went to Gma Walker's and I went to Wisconsin. It was nice to see Justin and good to get a few more steps into our move. We bought a house!! I feel like it has been a long time coming, and we are so excited, It is in Lake Mills, WI. It is in the process of being built. So that ends up being good and bad. It won't be finished until the end of August. But I got to customize a lot of things. I am super excited. Justin's job is going good. He likes it a lot. He likes how friendly and family oriented of a company it is.  They truly care if their employees are happy and that is a good change. We are currently in St. George and are melting. It is so hot here. But we are having a good time and are looking forward to all of our other trips to visit family before we leave.

A little catch up!

If you didn't read the previous post you might want to. And as for this one, Here are some random pictures of our lives lately. We have just been at home, playing at the park, The girls graduated from Preschool, and my Dad's 50th in Beaver.

It has Finally Happened!!!

I have been without internet for the past month and a half, so I am sorry about not posting anything, but I think it is a good excuse. But this bit of news had to be shared.
              Justin got a new job!!!
We are making a move to WISCONSIN! Justin got a job with Trek Bicycles. We are super excited and terrified at the same time. I am so excited to have a husband again, But it is so far from family and everything that is familiar to me.
Justin will be leaving in about 2 weeks (that is the plan anyways, He could end up leaving sooner if Attask says they don't want a 2 week.) And the kids and I will follow after we find a place to live. We are hoping to buy something.  I will probably just hang around and spend my time visiting family until I leave.  Wish us luck!!

Easter!!!

Easter was a lot of fun. Because Brandon and Zeffie were already in SLC area, we didn't go to St. George as planned. Instead we went to me aunt Lori's house and did the whole shabang there. We dyed eggs had a hunt and had lunch. It was fun to be with family. Thanks Lori for letting us use your beautiful home!

Hazel sitting on the couch. The dogs had escaped her grasp for about two seconds. She loved the dogs. To bad her daddy will NEVER let her have one.

Layla's cheesy I don't want to look at you smile.

What a sweet boy. Who couldn't resist those eyes?

Our silly girl.

Running to get as many as she can.

He got one sucker and couldn't have cared less about the rest.

Hazy did a lot better than last year. This year she filled her basket and then opened the eggs later!

All Done!
