4-Wheeling

Mark found an old Power Wheels motor 4-wheeler in the garage when we moved in. It didn't work. So, being the genius he is, he fixed it. The kids have had a blast driving around. Hannah is actually pretty good if she is facing forward.

32 Birthday candles

What a cute kid. I guess there is no denying where our kids get their good looks from.

We're going to Chipotle for dinner tonight to celebrate. This will be our first visit to the much talked about restaurant.

Happy Birthday, Daddy.

Packing Up

The packers were kind enough to let Hannah and Isaac take a look around their truck. Besides hauling all our household items,they are also moving a car and a lot of bikes. I've never lived anywhere for more than four years, so I should be used to moving by now. But, this is very emotional move for me. We invested alot of money, hard work, and memories into this home. There won't be another like it. The sell on our house closes on June 30. We'll have a little celebration during vacation.

SOLD!

After a long week of house hunting in Cleveland,
we pulled up to our house on Friday night and saw this: It feels so good!

Turns out we got three offers on our house. We picked the family that wrote a long sentimental letter about how wonderful they felt visiting our home. It will be their first home.
Thanks for all your prayers on our behalf.

Thanks Mom

I love being able to sew. Besides knowing how to cook and clean, sewing has been one of the most useful skills I have to take care of my home and family.
Thanks Mom for teaching that skill while I was yet in my youth.

Cute fabric--75% off
Time--one week
Showing up to church with matching dresses--priceless.

Hannah's Sacrament Debut

Today was Hannah's first opportunity to shine with the Primary as they sang for their mother's up on the stand. At first, the spotlight vanished as two CTR 6 boys pushed their way infront of Hannah. But, luckily, a 12 year old girl picked Hannah up so everybody could see her. She was the only Sunbeam singing. Here is a taste of our young budding talent. We dedicate this to all the mothers in our family.

Happy Easter Everybody

What a wonderful Easter Sunday. We had a wonderful meetings at church. The kids were even well behaved. We didn't have to take them out of Sacrament meeting once. The kids loved coloring eggs and having and Egg Hunt. We had 12 colored eggs and 12 candy filled eggs. Amazingly, all the hard-boiled eggs ended up in Isaac's basket. What are the odds of that?

For all our friends and family, Mark received orders this week. We are being transfered to Cleveleand, Ohio. Mark will be doing some engineering stuff. We are expecting to move mid June if we can manage a move that quickly. We will miss our friends in this area and our house that we have put so much heart and sweat into. But, we look forward to a new place and new experiences.
