We're....kind of back!

Okay, I am really sorry for not posting in soooo long!! WE MOVED!! YEAA!! We finally have our own place and have enjoyed being first time home owners! We have been busy painting, changing door knobs, cleaning, organizing, decorating, taking numerous trips to DI and everywhere else, losing a week because our sweet little family got the flu, safe guarding our house for our baby, etc. We are still in Henderson (of coarse). A quick update on our family...

Aurianna- started KINDERGARTEN at Gordon McCaw and loves her teacher, Mrs. Kofford. Even though she fights me about going to school in the morning, by the afternoon she is ready and waiting to head to class. She is headstrong and loves to argue with her daddy. I'm thinking a major debater in the future! We love her strength and willingness to learn. She is a HUGE help for me and the other 2. I feel so blessed!

Aniston- was supposed to start preschool but, I (mom) was a huge slacker and forgot to get the ABC Etc. Packet from VVRC. Needless to say, she is not in preschool this year but will definitely be going next year. She is very excited and talks about it all the time. She is our little suck-up! It's pretty funny. Whenever Auri gets in trouble for doing something she is not supposed to, Ani's reply is usually, "I'n not doing that Dad. I'n being good." She is a burst of energy and keeps me on my toes! We love her laugh and her fun personality.

Ammon- is walking and trying to run. He has already fallen down the stairs a couple of times (sorry that you had to be there for that one Kim!) It breaks my heart when that happens. He loves to climb in and out of his car seat, loves his new highchair and has the cutest laugh you will ever hear in your life. He absolutely LOVES his big sisters! They play so well together! He is growing way too fast for me but I am excited for the memories we will make when he's older. Future Volleyball player in Mom's eyes. Future Hockey player (or soccer) in Dad's eyes. We love him!

Jesse and I- We are attending the Temple as often as possible to get some stress relief from our everyday lives. IT HAS WORKED!!! We have received peace and organization along with better spirits towards each other and our kids. Jesse has received answers to prayers and has had to make some pretty hefty decisions! He is still working at Timet in the Chlorination department and I am still at home with the kids. The one job I've always wanted! (Thanks to my HOT husband!) Jesse chose to take the rest of this semester off and next from school, due to a blow up he had on one of his professors. (Stress maybe??) Even though it has prolonged his graduation, we both feel he really needed this little break. We love our new home, new ward We miss the old one and all the friends we made, we love you all and are very excited to make new friends! Anyone and everyone is welcome to come visit, call, email or even leave a comment! We love comments! We love family and friends! Thanks to everyone who helped us move (Clint and Jeremy, we still owe you IHOP) we could not have done it without you! Sheldon, thank you for helping Jesse with the Garage Door opener, your a PEACH!! Ben for the great job you did on our living room fan and to your sweet wife (thanks Jen) for letting you come over and help us! We love you guys! I am so thankful for the gospel and for my husband. I love him with all of my heart. He's blessed our family with the Priesthood and I am thankful for his willingness to honor it. He gave Aurianna a Father's blessing before school started, (a tradition we will definitely continue with all of our kids), and it was awesome. The spirit was so strong! I am so proud of him! WHAT A MAN!!! I can't help but hear the tune of "Count your Many Blessings!" I'll stop there!

We will post pictures later but for right I am EXHAUSTED!

Good Night!
