On the road again

Here are a few random pictures of our journey along the way to Utah. We had frequent stops.. EmmaLynn was great, and Ezyas was surprisingly not as bad as we'd imagined. The hardest part was getting him back in the carseat... He still has some issues with it to this day, but not nearly as bad as on the trip.

These two pictures were somewhere in Arizona on the way there. We had some interesting experiences.. Dan almost got us killed in a head on collision at one point, and later this night before we got into Utah, EmmaLynn had enough and puked on the side of the road. Poor girl, we spent way to long in the car.

EmmaLynn was so happy to be in a place where she could play with her cousins. She had fun dressing up with Alexxis and playing with Conner and AJ.

Here is a silly picture of Ezyas. We found these silly antlers at Aunt Brooke's house and they sure made for a great picture moment.
We loved spending time with all our family in Utah. We were even able to visit my Uncle Rick and Aunt Jenny and my cousin Brooke. We had so much fun. Wish we could have stayed longer to visit all our friends in Utah too. Maybe some other trip. :)

We arrived...

We arrived at our first stop in Bossier City, it was a long drive. At one point when we were nearing Bossier City I told Dan to go on ahead of me. Little did I know his phone was dying, and when I tried to get a hold of him to find out where he was I couldn't get a hold of him. It was pure luck that I just drove around and decided to find the Storage unit... I saw the budget truck stop right behind me. We were both relieve to see each other. While the guys unloaded the truck the kids were able to play. Ezyas was so happy to just crawl around.

We let EmmaLynn ride her bike before we packed it in the storage unit. We were planning on leaving right after dropping everything off at the storage unit. Well, plans always change... Dan was taking the truck to get it weighed and ran out of gas. So he had to make several trips to a gas station... needless to say we didn't end up leaving till the next day. One of the members who was helping us unload, invited us to stay at his house for the night. We gladly accepted and were able to bathe the kids and get a good nights sleep. I am so thankful to find great members everywhere we go.

Graduation Day

So after we had all of our stuff packed up, we had Wednesday graduation day. Dan graduated from Weather training. They even presented the spouses with a certificate of appreciation for being supportive during school.
* funny graduation story*
So after each student was given their certificate they were allowed to say a few words of thanks. When it came Dan's turn he offered up a great speech of thankfulness, when he was finished I think he forgot where he was, cause he began to close with " I say these things in the name... uh yea thanks"
Except the only people who knew what he was trying to say and why it was so funny were the few LDS people in the room. You'll have to listen to the video below to see what I mean.

Moving day for the 10th time

We decided to move our selves. We got this budget truck for $220, seriously awesome deal. Everyone else we checked with was asking double that for their biggest truck.

I am so grateful to have people in the ward here who helped us out. Sister Vadrine (Relief Society President) helped me out Tuesday all day packing the rest of my house and was there at midnight helping us clean and mop everything up too. I couldn't have done it with out her.

We also had our good friends the Cook's come over for a last goodbye, and they helped us clean like crazy too. We'll miss them so much.

A random picture. We were so grateful to the Relief Society and Elders Quarm sp? who helped us out. Next time, if I have anything to say about it.... The military will do it all!!

Big boy walking

Ezyas is so good at walking around as long as he holds onto something. As soon as he runs into a wall though , he screams and cries like it is the end of the world

Here are some pictures of the kids recently. EmmaLynn loves going to the splash pad. She's all geared up and ready to go, cheesy grin and all!EmmaLynn likes to add in her prayers " and please bless we can go to the splash pad" She is so funny.

Ezyas crashed after a long day. His little hand by his face is just too cute!

Here he is again just chillin in sister's Dora chair. He's chewing on our favorite teething tool, the soothie.. heaven knows it's the only thing it is good for with my kids. He's such a handsome little guy!
