Let's Go Fly A Kite!

Spring in Vernal is very windy! Of course I am not sure you could really consider this spring since it was 19 degrees this morning! We still manage to have some fun outdoors. Our playgroup went kite flying and had a great time! For about 5 minutes. Not too long after the kites were in the air the kids grew bored and went to play in the sand. I guess standing around in the wind isn't as fun as it looks :)

BIG News!

After 10 years of living in Utah (except for those 9 months in 2003) we are moving back to Texas. We plan on living in Conroe which is just outside of Houston. Nate has decided to work with his dad and will be building an event center there. We expect to be there by May so that gives us about a month and a half to pack up and move on. Hunter is excited that he will be living closer to his cousins. Nate and I are also looking forward to spending more time with family and hope to get lots of visitors! We will miss Utah and the friends we have made here. Luckily we live in an age where distance doesn't matter thanks to blogs, e-mail, and of course airplanes! We plan on making Utah our offical vacation destination in the summertime; we will need a place of refuse from the Texas heat! For those we are leaving behind we will miss you dearly. For those we are coming to we will be home soon.

The Kickers

The indoor soccer season is almost over. Hunter's team the Kickers did great, they have won every game so far! Hunter has done so well learning the game. Last game he dribbled the ball half way down the court then kicked it to the goal. He almost made it, but the other teams goalie stopped it. Never the less he was very proud of himself as was I! He really loves to play and we look forward to the beginning of outdoor soccer next month.

Fun February Photos

Took me a while, but I finally downloaded some photos!

The windy city and other happening in our family

I just got back for a long moms weekend! Me and my friend Jamie went to Chicago for some time away and had a blast! It was quite unexpected. We had been talking about going somewhere, but we didn't know when or where. Then last Wed Jamie called and said "is this weekend too short notice?" "Heck no!" was my reply. So off we went! We stayed at nice hotel in the middle of downtown. We pampered ourselves with pedicures, ate tons of local food including authentic Chicago pizza that had to be eaten with a fork, went to the top of the Sears tower, and took in some culture at the Chicago Field Museum. The cab drivers were a fun experience. Exactly what I expected meaning a lot of honking and yelling and almost killing us and some poor biker. I tell you it is a little scary when a cab driver gets out his car and starts yelling at you for picking another cab over his. All in all it was a fun trip although I am glad to be back home with my family. I missed them so much! I guess that is the purpose of these trips; to relax, unwind, and be reminded of how much you appreciate, love, and miss your family when you're not together. In other news Hunter won is third soccer game in a row! He is really enjoying soccer and asks everyday if he has a game. We signed him up for outdoor soccer this summer and look forward to seeing him improve his game. Jackson is still a cutie pie. I was a little sad when I got back from my trip because he didn't want to give me a hug. He just kept holding on to Nate and hiding his face from me. Could he have really forgotten me so quickly? No! It only took a few minutes then he was all mine again! Daddy who? Also this month(well I guess last month now) our friends the Haymores came to visit from Salt Lake. The kids had a great time! I don't think I saw Hunter all weekend even though we were in the same house. They camped out on the family room floor and thought it was great to get to sleep in their sleeping bags. The adults played games and talked. I kick b..t at Scrabble! We really had a great time and can't wait to do it again soon.
