The busy life

Travis and I and Abby made a trip back out to Farmington, NM to look for houses. Oh...if you've been out of the loop, we're moving again. Yep, hasn't even been a year yet and we are leaving little Payson, AZ. The practice has really gotten slow here, and with some major loan payments coming up here soon we had started to get worried. Travis was offered a better paying job with an LDS group of Dentists in Farmington and after much prayer, and fasting, and tears of frustration, we decided that it was too much of an opportunity to pass up. So after talking to Trav's parents one night they decided to come out and watch/spoil the boys while we took little Miss and searched for housing. We really wanted to rent, but the renting market there is extremely small. But you have to put down way more on a house than our small savings account can muster. Which makes us even more frustrated because we have been trying to save but it's been one thing after another with Doctor bills, and car repairs. After two days looking and more time sorting things out after getting home, we still didn't find anything. Well, anything that we can possible save up for in a few months. There's is one house that I am so in love with, but they want more than we want to pay. Any way.....


Grandma and Poppy spoiled the boys with eating out and late night parties. They were in HEAVEN and not too excited to see Mom and Dad walk through the door. Grandma did all she could to get as much time with Abby as possible.



Abby didn't mind being held while sleeping, Daddy spoils her like than all weekend.


Miss Abby attended her first full day of Church. I LOVE dressing up a girl. It's way more fun with all the shoe and bow options.

Xander learned to raid the Pantry while I'm busy on the phone with Banks, Insurance company, and Auto Shop. That gave him just enough time to eat a half full bag of Cheetos. I didn't get to angry once I realized that it was 1:30 and he hadn't had lunch yet. OOPS!In between all that time on the phone, and sweeping up Cheetos crumbs I found the time to play dress up with Miss Abby. She is just starting to out grow all her Newborn clothes and fit into the many cute outfits that have been hanging out in the closet.



She is reacting more to our voices. This is her smile and coo combination. I love it!!




This morning I came in and thought that Travis had taken her out of her bed, but she wasn't in his arms when he came around the corner, NOR was she on our bed. I had a panic moment for a second until I heard a muffled snore.



Still not sure how she managed to wiggle herself all the way down there. She lays on a sleep positioner and still she managed to get her arms over the sides and make her way to the bottom.

Oh what is life if there are no quick turns to make you stressed out. I seem to be able to totally relate. I hope that all will work out for the best. Sounds like it will atleast be a much bigger town than little Arizona. Good Luck!

My cousin is a dentist at a dental office in Farmington. one with lots of lds guys. we saw him in hawaii in oct, and he really likes his job and the place he works. maybe it's the same firm? also my home town is in Monticello Utah. I think that you are in that temple district in NM. My sister lives in ABQ, (lots of good shopping there) my bro-in-law lives in los alamos. we are hoping that an opportunity comes up there. it's rough to move again, but i think you'll really love farmington!
