I am sorry - still no pictures!! I have helped my parents move back into their home and have been super busy trying to help them settle in (and keep the kids out of boxes before things are childproofed!) The internet just got connected up here and I feel like I have missed out on so much of everyone's lives - two ultrasounds, all kinds of pictures, even hair color change:)
We are looking at places in Logan...a little sooner than we planned but the preschool where Emily will be attending in the fall has a great summer program too which starts the end of June so that is the next move. Cory will be in Vail until September so I will be alone alone with the kids in Logan - and we will love any visits!!!
I am growing so much in appreciation for my husband!! He is such a great husband and father. Just one of those sweet, quiet guys who is often misunderstood by many - even me at times! I am grateful every night for his sweetness, loyalty, strength and faith. He is my best friend....

To Ephraim to dwell...
We are settling in and doing well! The loading and driving all went smoothly. Cory had a storage unit ready for us in Logan and we had lots of help there to unload.
Emily started preschool in Manti - little rocky at first(she threw up on the teacher and didn't want to ride the bus at first) but is doing great now! I think time goes faster with the second child, I can hardly believe how fast they are growing up! Emily looks like a little girl now, not a toddler and Owen is WALKING!! Usually he needs to be holding something to walk his best like his sippie cup or a toothbrush...its humorous to me!
Anyway, we are good here. Cory is working now every day-he had a few snow delays but good now, and is enjoying his work. He is coming here this weekend so we are all excited for that! My camera's usb wire is still packed (we are in my parent's apartment until school is out May 2nd and then we will move into their big house so for now I only have essentials like clothes and bath stuff out:) so pictures again are going to have to wait! Leave a comment anyway!!
ps. the post title always comes to my mind when I think of living here...anyone else know the hymn?

On the MOVE
Hello all! Sorry our blogging has taken a back seat with all the prep for moving! Cory starts his internship on Wednesday so we left Washington today to take him. We are making a short stop in Boise (THANKS Theresa!!), on to Logan for a few days to check out possible schooling and housing options (and a nice weekend by Bear Lake). After that, we will be in Ephraim on Monday and Tuesday, then Colorado on Wednesday!
Our other excitement is March Madness! This is Cory and Kaylynn's favorite sporting event of all! Sadly, Cory's fav team - Gonzaga bulldogs lost tonight. Kaylynn's fav team - Michigan State pulled out a win!!

12 DAYS!
Whoops, it has been 12 days since our last post! I actually did do a post on my family's blog and was going to do one on here but I guess I got distracted:)
So, life here has been, well, a little crazy..we have all been sick and passed it around and got more sick. Owen scared us - he was coughing and wheezing the first of this week and I took him in on Wednesday and the doctor gave him a steriod shot and gave us a nebulizer for him. Thankfully, I only had to hold him down three times for a treatment!! (He has the same little dinosaur mask his cousin CJ!)
We have also nailed down some moving details...Cory has to be in Colorado on the first and Emily has spring break that week so we are leaving the 27ish for a family trip to take him there and then Kaylynn and kids (and niece to help) drive back to Washington. Two weeks later, Kaylynn's Mom will be here to help pack a moving truck and help drive it down to Utah the third weekend in April. So there you go!
Look for the kids' bday pix soon! If you scroll down to the bottom you will see a fun countdown!!
