HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETHAN

We got to see Uncle Cameron today.

Goodbye Old Girl

Yesterday, with much sadness, we said goodbye to our house and Utah. When we first moved here I was convinced that I would hate it and yet some of my best experiences have been here. I have made such wonderful friends and been so blessed to spend time with my family. Since we have been here Russ and Carrie were married, Heather and Jordan were married, Daniel started preschool and took Toddling Tots and made a best friend, Owen.

I actually became social and worked on the Girls Night Out Committee and headed up the monthly crafts for the MBA spouses. I wish I could say that I remember all of the crafts that we did but I can't. While here I made a patchwork quilt (and will never make another again) and almost finished my jeans quilt, a 10 year long project. All I have left is to bind it. Hopefully that will get done before another 10 years passes.

I can never thank my friends and family enough for all that they have done for us. We love you and will miss you all so much.

Let's Kick It

Last Sunday we had Russ and Carrie over for dinner. It was such a beautiful day that after dinner we went outside. Danny had so much fun kicking the soccer ball around.

Danny loved following Carrie and Russ around trying to get the soccer ball. As true newly weds they had so much fun playing together. The game was "who can keep the ball." Russ would take the ball, Carrie would get it and give it to Danny. Then Carrie would have it again and "The Big Dog" would take it from her. This continued on and on. Ahhhhh! It was so cute.

Carrie did get the ball back several times and fought back when Russ would hit her in the head with the soccer ball. She didn't go down without a fight. Eventually, Russ had the ball so Carrie took his hat.

We had such a lovely time.

In the hotel

We are still looking for a house but Danny had a really cute moment this morning.

"I Hungwee"

After church today we came home and Danny didn't want to eat his lunch so he went and played and had room time. Room time never means room time. It means that he stays in his room for 10 minutes and then comes into the family room to bug me and then I tell him to go back to his room. This happens 5+ times until I let him out.
After about 30 minutes he came to me and said he was "hungwee." I told him to go eat his pbj sandwhich that was at the table. I was on the computer doing my family history and then I heard nothing. Hearing nothing is never a good sign. So, I looked over and found Justin asleep on the couch and Danny asleep in his chair clutching his sandwhich.

For the past few days Danny has decided that he doesn't want to eat when we eat but about 30 minutes after we are done he comes to us and says, "I hungwee". Tonight he didn't want dinner and so when we ate Carrie's yummy cup cakes he didn't get one. He said, "Pweese" and I stood my ground and said, "no". He tried this several times. He also said it and climbed into my lap and kissed me. My favorite petition was when he came up to me and said, "Happy Mother's Day Mommy. Cup cake pweese?" I still didn't give him a cup cake although I was VERY tempted too.

Amy's House

This week after coming back to UT we went to Amy's house. We had fun at the park and gave Erin her birthday present, Hannah Montana doll. Danny, being his adorable self, found the doll, mic, and hat and went to town. Enjoy

Crus'in in our Caddy

We came out to Chicago on Tuesday to get our stuff moved to UT so it than can be moved again with all of our other stuff. We don't have a house yet but we will be going out there for a house hunting trip soon. While at Mom's we have had so much fun. Today Mom (Grandma) bought a car for the boys to ride in. They had such a great time in it. It was so cute... they would each drive for a minute or two then say it was the others' turn. They would then get out of the car and switch drivers and it would begin again.
