Isaac is riding a bike

Isaac got up on Miah's bike this week and took off. He rides just as good as Miah even though he has never tried before!

Bubbles

My kids are loving bubbles right now. Here are some fun pictures with them blowing bubbles.

So some weird things have been happening the past few days. We hadn't heard back from the managing apartment place for weeks, so we went on with other plans. She emailed us back on Friday to see what our thought were about the possibility of us managing an apartment complex of 20 in Clearfield. I was a little hesitant at first, but one sleepless morning I got looking into a little more and feel much better about it. The elementary school is literally right behind the apartments. One the other side there are 3 houses, then a PARK! Both of those sound nice to have that close! The only thing I worry a little about is that it is right across the street from Clearfield High.
Then this morning JD received a call from the guy he was suppose to meet while in Utah. He told JD things had been going really SLOW, but they wondered if JD would still be interested in the position! Of course he IS!
So slowly things are advancing . . .I guess. We still don't KNOW anything for sure, but we are hopeful. It would be SO NICE to have a FREE apartment and have JD get a job that was a RAISE! So please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that things will work out!

On Friday Dennis came down to get the kids to show them the dump trucks and other vehicles that were in front of the house to pave a new road. They were excited and stayed out forever. Isaac wouldn't come in to get dressed and Miah eventually did. They even ate their lunch outside, so they wouldn't miss any of the action.

Riding the carosaul at the mall. I have been so out of it that I forgot to pick up the kids' pictures on Monday. I remembered on Friday evening, so we decided to go and get them on Saturday for something to do since it was suppose to rain . . .again. I also wanted to look and see if there were any good sales on some school clothes for Miah. We got a couple of things, but the BEST find was some really cute, black leather boots at Children's Place for Isaac. They were 99 cents!

Applying for jobs, packing, figure out what we are going to do, sharing time and primary lesson all have kept me BUSY this past week! The plan is still to drive home over the July 4th weekend. I'll keep everyone posted on any development as we find out more!

Yeah! New Shoes!

If you know me well, you know that I LOVE SHOES! Since being married my shoe purchasing has been DRASTICALLY reduced! I could count on my hands the new pairs I have bought. Since moving to NY I have bought two pairs of shoes in the almost 4 years! One was a pair of sketchers while in Utah that I got on clearance and the other was some flip-flops last month. My last pair that I bought before getting married finally got a hole all the way to the bottom. The only other pair that I have had was when JD surprised me and bought me them after going back to NYC after me telling him of the shoes that I had found and fell in love with.

Anyway, after deciding to move to Utah I realized I really didn't have any cute shoes to wear since the three pair that I have bought in the last 5 years all would not be suitable for Utah. While going through my favorite blogs one mentioned a great shoe sale, so I thought that I would just look, but I found two pairs of Simple Shoes that I really liked and both were under $10!! I got both of them for $19.90 and the regular cost would have been $120, plus I didn't even have to pay shipping. I was excited and still am especially since they fit!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is our wedding anniversary. I can' believe it has been 8years. It has went so fast! We are going to be able to go to dinner and a movie tonight.

Happy Anniversary JD! I love you so much and am so thankful that you are my husband!
