Just Hangin' out!

Not much has been going on here lately. Just planning a Primary Activity (over today thankgoodness) that started falling apart at the seems just a few days before it was supposed to happen. Looking for jobs, finding some, then having to fast and pray to decided which is best for our family, and still not knowing. Driving all over Northern Colorado to see if the places where the jobs are open are places that we would want to live, and after six hours of being in the van, still not knowing. Someone forgot to tell us that it would be this stressful looking for a place to practice and settle down.
Still NO SLEEP for Xander, oh and Mommy. Doctor's appointments that turned up with no answers as to WHY the kid can't stay asleep. And finally, after TWO years, yes two, Trav and I attended the Temple Together.

I look at this picture and WISH....

It's been really WARM (yeah) here lately.

Almost a whole week of middle to high 70's!!

I couldn't get a GOOD CHEESE out of Xan.

About the fifth try this is the face I got:

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME LADY???"

Jacob the stone man.

I have 5 pictures of him standing this exact same way.

Totally unchanged.

Trenton with the straight lipped smile.

I told him to show me teeth. Yeah, those pictures will stay

locked away in the vaults of my computer

so that he won't hate me some day.

I love your boys! The pictures of Xander made me laugh. I can't ever get Kira smiling if she sees the camera. She's too interested in the camera itself. I hope you find a place that feels right for you. You know, you could always check out Portland, OR. :) We are still planning to come stop in and see ya on our way out west.

I'm sure you will find the perfect place for you family! And I hope your children get some more sleep! What a pain! They sure are darn cute though. Have I mentioned how much I just love those little guys?

Good luck with the search. You know you can call me anytime to babysit. I probably still owe you for some time you watched my kids. Love your pictures. Your children are so gorgeous!

Your boys are as handsome as ever. I can't believe how big Xander is getting. Poor guy (and poor momma), hope he starts getting some sleep soon. I know you guys will find the perfect practice in the perfect place......even if you have to start your own! :)

So sorry that Xander doesn't sleep, that stinks big time but he sure is cute and I am so jealous of all the pictures outside, you are making Colorado seem much more appealing. Any decisions on where you will be living? Oh and I always put Caitlyn on the counter, I thought it made me a good mom because it kept her from crying!!:)

HEY Brooklyn can't stay asleep either! Maybe she & Xander are in kahoots.

Your boys are just so stinking cute.
