Summer Fun

The last couple of weeks seem to have flown by. We have been enjoying warm weather finally. Today we played in the pool with my cute sister and her darling baby Brigham. He loved it. He giggled and giggled! I went fishing with my bro last night. He caught 4 big brook trout up by the canyon in our "secret fishing hole". Alexis had her first big bike crash. She got going down a steep cement driveway and fell off her tricycle. She got her forehead scraped up but thank goodness she was ok! We saw Kung-Fu Panda at the theatre. It was really funny. We enjoyed it thoroughly. My birthday is coming up this weekend so Shaun went birthday shopping today. Of course he had to give me early presents. (it's a family joke). He gave me a new tennis racquet and a new fishing reel and lure. I'm excited to try them out. I went on my first mountain bike ride the other night too. It was just up and down the street, but at least it's a break-in. Tommorrow i'm heading down to Provo to help my sister look for apartments. It has been stressful still not having a job, but all in all we are enjoying being close to family. We love to spend time with them.

Birthdays, Train, Job Lead

June is a big month for my family. We have 3 birthdays. My cute little brother just turned 24 I can't believe it! They had a barbecue and we played Lasso Golf on the lawn. Alexis rode her tricycle around in the front yard pretending to be "the ice cream man" she would sing louder and louder as she drew closer to signal that you needed to buy ice cream from her. It was so cute! Then she would open the back trunk of her little trike and pull out a colored straw for you and tell you what flavor of popsicle it was.

Today is my Dad's birthday. We took the new "Frontrunner" train down to Salt Lake yesterday and went to Temple Square. It was so fun! I can't believe how smooth and fast it goes. We walked around at the museum and ate a hamburger and onion rings at Hires Big H. Shaun went on a bike ride and we are going to fix up my Dad and Mom's bikes' today. It is still a bit chilly and rainy but we are enjoying it because we know it will be hot soon.

Monday we look forward to calling on some job leads in the Utah area in Biological Engineering. We are keeping our fingers crossed. We would love to live in this area close to family. We love seeing them.

Memorial Weekend to Moving Weekend

We had a great weekend up at my brother in law's cabin for Memorial Day. (Pictures coming as soon as I get my computer hooked back up)We relaxed mostly taking a break from packing. We headed back to Idaho and packed up the rest of the apartment. Yesterday we moved to Utah. It is always so crazy to move but we are so greatful for all of our family and friends who came and helped. THANKS EVERYONE! We couldn't have done it without you. We are excited to be back around what we know call the "big mountains". We've lived in Utah our whole lives until recent and we are amazed at the beauty of this state. We love being back. We will miss all of our good friends in Twin Falls and plan to make it back for the temple open house. Shaun has been temporarily working on some detail paint work there. It will be such a blessing to see the way the temple blesses that area of Idaho.

Alexis becomes the Window Display!

Just wanted to tell a funny story. These kind of things happen daily! Alexis and I headed to the mall to get some boxes for moving and exchange some capris. She hadn't had a nap and anyone who knows her knows she always has energy which is multiplied ten fold when she's tired. The nursery leaders are always saying on days she is tired "She was a bit wound up today" I just laugh because i'm glad they dealt with it while I got to go to relief society! While we were in Aeropostale she climbed in one side of the window display and was running up and down in front of the manikins laughing and skipping and having a ball. When I tried to coax her out (it was like a tunnel) she would run to the other side. I finally got her out and explained we couldn't go in there and gave her timeout which to her is making her sit in the stroller for a while. In the moment it's always frustrating but later in the day I always look back and laugh! Good times!

Moving!

I haven't posted for awhile because we don't have the internet right now. We are getting ready to move back to Utah. We will be living with My mom and Dad till the job hunt serves us well. We are excited to spend the summer near family. As soon as we find a full time engineering job we will be moving again! It feels really surreal to be moving again so soon after thinking we were settled. Part of me is jumping at the chance for a new adventure on the other hand I feel so out of place with knowing where to go from here. The possibilities are many. We would like to stay close to family if possible. We'll keep in touch!
