We're Back!

I am back to work which means back to the Internet! It has been way too long. I love looking at every one's blogs so that I know how everyone is. I makes me feel like I am involved in all of your lives! ha ha. A lot has happened the past couple weeks. Rylee is 7 weeks old and still has hair! She is growing like a weed, put still is the tinest little thing. Shea is having a ball, and loves being a big sister. We recently bought a house and have been slowly moving in. (The cheapest house in the valley! ha ha.) We closed on October 30th, the day before Halloween. It went very fast, and I am still a little shocked that we have a house. Wayne literally did everything in the process! My parents came up from Utah last weekend to help us move. They also finally brought us my dog Teby. My sister and I always knew that secretly my dad loved him. He finally admitted it! He has already called us to see how the dog is doing, and it hasn't even been a week. Well, dad, Teby it doing great. He loves being out of the city. And he already has a friend, Rocky. The dog is doing great! ha ha.
Still has hair!
Teby's friend Rocky.
The house is almost put together. Our first project was painting the kitchen cabinets white. I didn't take a before picture, but the cabinets were nasty. They reminded me of cabinets you would find in a RV. Old and Cheap. I think it looks a lot better. Next thing is to paint the walls so that EVERYTHING isn't white! The house is on an acre so we have a great view of the Tetons and the Bighole's.

Halloween this year was a little different. Instead of driving over to Jackson, we decided to suck it up and go trunk'r'treating. That is what they do out here in the country. Everyone parks in the church parking lot and hands out candy from the trunk of their car. I always thought that sounded stupid, boy was I wrong. This weather was crappy, and it was cold. It took us 30 minutes to go to everyone of the cars and it was over. You get a lot of candy in a short amount of time, which is nice when it's snowing. These two little puppies really enjoyed themselves!

I've been waiting for more pics of that sweet baby and I wasn't disapointed. She is a doll! Love the double dalmations. Your house looks fantastic, love the space you have around you. Someday Elijah and I dream to live somewhere where our neighbors can't look in our windows!

Good luck juggling work and the kiddos!
