Easter

We had a great Easter this year. It was the first year that Maya really got into looking for eggs. The boys loved hunting for the eggs.
We really like our new ward. The program was great. We are NOT the loudest family by far. The ward is very young, so we are happy about that.
I hope you Easter went well.

Excuvation

Well we have been in our house for 2 week and we had Roto Rooter come over for a visit. After a video and a little snaking they found roots in the sewer line. Now I can look out side and see my "new kitchen"

Our House

Well it is true we do have and own a house. I didn't want to get my hopes up and share with everyone until we closed. As of Friday, March 27, 2009 Jeremiah and I became home owners. The house is a ranch with unfinished basement. 3 bedrooms and 3 baths.
That is Jeremiah shoveling his 2nd driveway of the day.

Blizzard of 2009

This is our first good snow all winter. A BLIZZARD!!! It just happens to be 2 days before we move into our new house! (Pictures of the house will come on Friday or Monday)Alex is such a sweet boy. He is shoveling for his Dad to come home. Jeremiah left work at 1:00 pm and 30 minutes later he was about 5 miles away from his work. The boys built an other fort out of moving boxes.This was taking on Monday.
