A day at the farm

Well as everyone knows that we have been moving. Our sweet sitter took the kids to her house in Florence, where they have pigs, goats, chicks, and horses. They had so much fun!! It was cute to hear Tanner talk about the baby chicks and how fuffy they looked. Here are some pictures that Kelsea took while they were there

Before and after..

People keep asking me which picture below is the before.. well the one with the blue floor is the before picture. The one with the black cabinets is the after.. so me don't you think?

House

Well the time has come that we are FINALLY moving!! I am soo excited!! This will be MINE! I have owned houses in the past but I was never allowed to decorate or paint them how I wanted to. Sean has given me full reign over the decorating. I love what our house has become!!
I have attached the after and before pictures of my kitchen.

Parent Teacher

I went to parent teacher conference this past week, and I am happy to say I have 2 smart kids! Tanner is in ELP now. He is only 1 of 2 kids in the entire Kindergarten class to be doing this. It's a first grade class that he goes too for 2 hours a day. He also gets to start taking AR. he read his first whole book last night by himself. It was soo cute to listen to him sound out the words.
Rylle is doing good for all accounts. We are not liking his teacher and he is growing bored. She's not challenging him. For all that know him know that he's one that needs to be challenged. So we are working on getting him a new teacher!

I love this..

Ohohoooh..oohhoohhoooh...you got the right stuff!

Last night I was able to relive being 14! It was soo awesome!! I saw New Kids On The Block! They did a great show I was surprised. The funny thing was... just about everyone there was my age or OLDER!!! So it was funny to watch these chicks get all mushy and cry over someone they dug 15 years ago! I had soo much fun I didn't get home until after 1. I can say that it was the best thing ever. It's not very often that a girl gets to see her favorited boy band of all time!!!!

Priesthood

Well I must say today has been a day.. Sean has spent the past week stressing about doing the sacrament for the first time. I must say it was awesome to see him up there breaking the bread and setting such a great standard for the boys. It was soo awesome that Kelsea and Mitchell and by bff and sister from my previous life were there for the support. Than Tanner talked Sean into going up with him to bear his testimony. I almost cried listening to Sean. But the kicker is once Sean finished Tanner was like no I don't want to! he just knew Sean needed to do it!!
I can't say enough about what an awesome guy I got. I have never felt this way for anyone other than my kids.
I also want to thank Kelsea for becoming a BIG part in our family!! I don't think Michelle or I could EVER function without you!

Conference

Here's a few quotes from conference that were soo good!!

Just because a marriage starts with two imperfect people, happiness is not unattainable, he said.

"Just as harmony comes from an orchestra only when its members make a concerted effort, so harmony in marriage requires a concerted effort," Elder Nelson said.

Focus on gospel principles that will strengthen marriage and faith often comes from teachers in the church.

Challenges faced the pioneers in the 1800s, and challenges face the church today, though they are different.

"Instead of angry mobs, we face those who constantly try to defame. Instead of extreme exposure and hardship, we face alcohol and drug abuse, pornography, all kinds of filth and sleaze, greed, dishonesty and spiritual apathy," Elder Ballard said. "The Lord isn't asking us to load up a handcart; he's asking us to fortify our faith. He isn't asking us to walk across a continent; he's asking us to walk across the street to visit our neighbors."

Toofers

Rylle pulled out his bridge the other night. It's been loose for a while, so I sent him to bed one night and I hear water running in their bathroom about 10 min later. So I went in to see if her was ok. I saw he was pulling it out. He's never pulled a tooth out by himself. I've always had to use a floss pick and I get it stuck under the loose tooth and pull it out for him. So he was brave enough to do this one on his own. he was so proud!! So the tooth fairy left him 5 bucks for the effort!!

Baby, baby, baby!!!

Good news!! Sean and I are starting our adventures with foster to adopt. We have our first class on the 8th of Nov. We are so stoked. We have a piece missing in our lives and we are unfortunate to not be able to have kids together. So we are going to be giving an infant a home. We get to choose the age range that we want. We are going from newborn to 1 year!!! Keep looking back for more updates!!!
