With the move and settling in our new house and our new city I haven't really updated this blog at all :( very sad I know but I have lots of pics to post so enjoy!

Big Day :)

Here he is!!!  Our big Kindergartener!

All the boys :)

He got a spiderman backpack, which he was very happy about.  

Waiting to go in.  The boy in front of him is in our ward so I was happy about that.  

He is getting so big :)

In his classroom.  

He did so great!  I think it was a lot harder for me than him.  He is going to do such a great job in school.  It is just so hard for me to let him go.  I have been the primary care giver for his whole life and now he won't be with me all day everyday.  I am happy for him growing up but it just seems so crazy that he is ready for kindergarten.  Love this kid, we are so Proud of him :)

Alive and well in West Pasco :)

Have no fear we are still alive and well.  We made it just fine to Pasco and all of our stuff arrived intact and undamaged.  I feel like we are finally starting to settle in and I hope to have pics up soon.  I am just wanting to get a few more pics up and then I will post pics of the house with our stuff in it all set up.  

We have been to church once and hope to make friends soon.  The elders quorum and a couple of members of the bishopric have already visited :)  

If anyone is wanting a road trip and need a place to go we love having visitors and have a quest room ;)

Blessed :)

With Chad's new job there are going to be a lot of changes coming up in the next few months and I was starting to feel very anxious.  Two things were making me really nervous: 1) I had never been to Tri-Cities ever in my life and 2) We still didn't know where we were living and we were going to be up there in like a month!!!  

Well those two things were solved last week.  Chad and I were able to take a trip up there to see the area and find a place to live.  (thanks to our friends Ryan and Liz for letting us crash at your house) 

I am happy to introduce our new home! 

 It was actually the first home we looked at.  Our realtor just met us and was driving us around showing us the area and trying to get a feel for the kind of home we wanted.  He told us he had a house he wanted us to see because he thought that we would love.  We walked in and were like this is exactly what we are looking for.  It was in an area that was originally not where we wanted to live but after seeing what we could get for less money we decided it was worth it to live a little further from work.  Plus our good buds Ryan and Liz only live about five minutes from us now :)

This is the entry way and the double doors go into the living room/den

The living room

The dining room with the sliding door that leads to the backyard.

The really nice kitchen and we got them to let us have the Fridge too :)

Master bedroom

Backyard

Backyard (it is all fenced and a pretty good size, very excited for this!)

The boys new room (I have contemplated keeping it pink but I think the boys would hate it ;)

We actually put and offer in on another house first that was just a little bigger but needed a little more help but the owners just wouldn't budge on the price at all so we decided that we just needed to move on and get this house 

So many new adventures coming in the next few weeks.  The boys are so funny and keep asking us if we are taking all their toys.  They are really nervous that we won't take everything so I have to keep reassuring them that we won't forget anything.  

BIG Changes...

Can anyone guess what these are photos of? 

Richland, WA 

Why would we post photos of Richland, WA? 

Because it is going to be our new HOME!!!!  

We are moving!  

Chad was offered a wonderful job working for a company called Areva and the job is in Richland, WA.  We are so excited for this new change in our lives!  

He will be starting sometime in the beginning of July and we plan to move there at the same time.  We feel so blessed to have this new opportunity.  The Lord often takes us on paths we would have never expected but if we have faith and trust we will be happy.  

Wish us Luck on our new adventure :)

Anyone still out there....

So I have been terrible at updating this recently and the only excuse that I have is that I have three boys.  Life can get kind of crazy just trying to keep everyone fed, alive, and make sure the house doesn't get burned to the ground :)!
I have so many things that I would like to update on so I will just start with a sneak peek so you can see all the delicious goodness that is in store for you ;)!  (mostly it is just so I remember what I wanted to blog about).
Some of these are from a long time ago but are note worthy so here it goes:

This little guy had his tonsils and adenoids out last year and he was quite the trooper.

We got to stay in this lovely cabin with Chad's roommates from college and their families.  

Had new family pictures taken with my crazy family!

My grandparents let us use some of their season tickets to BYU football (four rows up baby)

Two of my roommates from college and their families came over for lunch one day.

Halloween happened and we won a pumpkin carving contest.  Okay maybe we won because we were the only ones who entered :)

Went up to Seattle for Thanksgiving much fun was had!

Got to see Santa and had a wonderful Christmas.

Went to Big Judds with the girls!  They ate an entire Big Judd together!

My little bro got married to wonderful girl named Marissa.

Chad and I got to go to Florida for a quick trip.

Got a picture with a movie star.

I will post more in depth on these topics at a later time as Miles has had it and wants to be picked up.  Hope you enjoy and come back soon.
