March Memories

 Took the kiddos to the zoo. Haven't been in a long time...always so fun!
 Ran into our friend and old neighbor Thomas. Dylan paid for himself and Thomas to ride the camel together!





 Oh Isabelle, how I love your sweetness. Sometimes it's hard having a sister who isn't so organized! :)
 The Moore's came for a visit! Actually this happened about 2 weeks before we moved out of our house. Love having them come for visits. So fun for the kids to be older and have fun together!


Moved in March

Well...we are buying
a house but our closing date isn't for a few weeks after the time we have to move out of our rental house. Needing to move out so quickly wasn't what we wanted when needing to purchase a home...but this is the way it has worked out.
We found a home that needs lots and lots of love, I love that we will be able to make it our own! 
 So everything is being packed into this box and stored for just over a month while we live with the Whittemores. Yep, that is correct...our family of 5 is moving in with their family of 4 plus Israel's brother! They are so generous and I am so thankful! I couldn't imagine needing to live with anyone else...so thankful they love us so well! 
 I will miss our neighborhood, I love it here! The house not so much...but this yard has been amazing. So many memories have been created and love that this is where we have called home for the last 3 years. I never thought we could live in 1200 sf, but it really wasn't that bad. :)

 This home allowed us to grow our business, Twigs and Twine. Hours upon hours of time has been spent in this workshop. Refinishing, sanding, building. Words really don't do justice with how thankful I am to God for providing this perfect home and workshop all in one. 

 Final load that didn't fit and what we need for the Whittemores. The vehicles are packed out and Mark is done loading! 

 I think there are going to be a lot of sweet memories made over this next month. How fun to have the girls' best friend be who we get to live with! 


March Fun!

 Right after bowling a strike! Spent family fun day doing some bowling. 



 Stayed the night at Grandma R's house and they took a ride over to the ostrich neighbor. Ended up giving Dylan an emptied egg...which he now has on his keep shelf shelf in his room. I have a feeling he will have for his whole life!


Both the girls played soccer this season...well, I made them give it a try! Have to try every sport after all, to find out what you really love. Isabelle is such a fast runner but as soon as she gets near the ball she slows down. :)
Cadence surprised us and was super agressive and right in the mix of things all the time when she played. So fun to watch them! 

 Will he ever have better eating habits and manners??!!

 Current crew for us. So thankful for these guys and our little growing business. 

February

 Sweetheart dance with Daddy at school. Isabelle's first time to go, she was super excited. 

 Dad turned 66! Celebrated with lunch at Thunderbird park and then went for a hike. 



A new year - 2016!

Went on a field trip with Cadence to the ASU planetarium. Love that I get to go with when I can, always sweet to see them interact with their friends from school. 
Maggie and Eli were over for the night so we had to go out for a treat at LaGrande Orange. I love our neighborhood and the local places that are all around. 


Janae turned 10 and her party was going on pony rides and then painting them! The girls LOVED it.
Dylan is close to being taller than Grandma B now!
The weather is warm and it's nice being outside doing crafts and games. 


North Mountain








He is so lazy...making himself home on our sofa!
Yard sale - how do we get so much extra stuff!!
