AuBrey first day of SCHOoL

Sunday night Aubrey couldn't sleep very well she kept coming out of her room saying that she wasn't able to sleep cause she was nervous about school the next morning. She is starting first grade and is going to be going all day (whoho:-)) But we were a little hard on her and not very sympathetic- telling her to just stay in her room and she will eventually fall asleep.

Well when we went to bed this note was on our pillow.

Traslation: To Mom and Dad, School I am scared to go to school, I am going to first grade.
Love Aubrey.

Oh she brakes my heart. I should have been more reassuring and comforting to her! I felt so bad.

That morning she was a little less nervous and more excited. She kept telling me that her tummy hurt meaning " I am really excited"

It's she so dang CUTE!

And Yea! She has Mrs. ROCHA!!!
Love you Mist.

Summer in Our NEW HOUSE

We bought a new house in April but didn't move into it until the end of May. I decided that the base boards needed to be redone (anyone who really knows me knows that I LOVE tall base boards!) and it toook a little longer than I expected. But having been able to spend the summer here has really been like living at a resort. Just check out this yard!


My Mom and dad came over for a BBQ and Swim. Dad shows up often to swim- and we LOVE IT- to cool down after a long hot day.

We also have Misty and Anthony Rocha fam over allot since they live just down the street (so good to be back in Utah). This is Andrew with Rylee and Aubrey.


My girls just LOVE swimming! We have been in the pool almost every single day. Heres Aubrey showoff some of her tricks.




And last here are a few pictures of our beautiful yard. It's allot of hard work, it seriously takes me a half a day every Saturday to maintain it. We'll see how long that lasts.

Breaking Dawn is Awesome!!

K- so I went to get my copy at 11:55 PM Friday night. My number was 1108 and the lady at the desk informed me that I would not have my book until 3 or 3:30. Well I decided to go home get a few hours of sleep, cause I knew that as soon as I had my book I would not be able to put it down!, and read all day Saturday:-) And I FINISHED the book early SUNDAY MORNING (Jake was so good to take the girls out to lunch, a movie, to Grammies, swimming, etc.....) This was fun to read with my two good friends Crystal and Jackie- we all started together and ended on Sunday. Of course I can't stop talking about it, I really loved it! and I can finally move on with my real life:-)

PS I can't get my new pictures to upload to my blog page ARUGH! So until I have a couple of hours to kill there will be no pictures of our new house and such, sorry.

Back online WOHO!

OK so I FINALLY got my internet setup today...I know! And now I need to figure out how to upload my pictures from my new camera. This might take me a few hours but I Promise it will be done soon (and I have to do it before Saturday 12:01 am cause I am going to be a little busy following this time :-) Yea!!!! BD)

PS Comcast Sucks (but the On Demand does not)
