New place, bike and long blog!!

Okay we are all moved!! Finally! We were supposed to move last weekend. Through a series of events it all changed to Monday or Tuesday. Fine. I’ll tell you from the very beginning…. I really dislike moving!!! A LOT!
The lady said we could move some stuff in the garage Tuesday night. So Eli and I loaded some crap up and took it out to the new place. The door that was supposed to be unlocked wasn't. Long story short, we finally moved everything in Wednesday. Its a great little neighborhood. Its a cul de sac with about 50 + kids. No freakin joke. They are everywhere.....comin’ out of the wood work I'll tell ya what. The girls were so excited!! Not only to see all the kids but to finally get bikes and toys out of storage. It was pretty crazy moving in. Kids running around everywhere, in my house, garage you name it. We have the only sandbox in the cul de sac and everyone knows it!! AHHHH!!! I was feeling pretty anxious..... nice to meet you, I'm the new crazy lady!! They would knock on the door, or their preference.....the stupid doorbell!!! I hate that thing!! Time for that to be disconnected!!
Everyone was outside or hanging out in their own garages....watching me unload all my crap. Eli helped unload everything but had to work so I was trying to put everything where it went. I came back with another load in the pickup. My nerves where so shot. Trying not to run over any children.... I was backing up and this kid (had to 8-10 yrs old!) made eye contact with me and I was backing up and he starts walking behind the truck!!! What the ..... hello!! I had the window down and and yelled at him ( it was nice I promise) and he proceeded to walk EXTREMELY slow all the way to the other side of me...... ahhh! I'm going to have very poor health before we leave this place!! Talk about anxiety attacks! There are some very tiny babies barely walking out in the street! Where is your mother????!! not to mention all the bikes, scooters, and skateboards left in the middle of the street to dodge.....sorry I really wasn't planning on venting! I'm happy to be in a new place!!
Finally late that evening the door bell rang...hahaha....yah. I answered and it was the guy who appeared to live next door (that’s where I noticed him all day) he was like "is my daughter here?" Um like I know who your daughter is!! I went back to the girls' bedroom and sure enough there was a unknown stranger... I was like, I think your daddy is looking for you. She just sat there and stared at me! K, grab your coat and shoes kid time to go!!!! hahaa..... I went back to the door and he had the nuts to ask if I needed help!! K that might seem harsh....but when he sat outside the whole day letting his kids "keep mine company" and then ask if i needed help at that hour??? whatever I think I got all the big stuff moved and under control!! thanks. K- speak to me, this is probably raunchy acting. I really honestly didn't want help. I get too flustered!! having kids everywhere and trying to be nice.....whatever.
Last nite the girls were able to swim in the outdoor pool. They loved it and it was great fun!
This morning I came back from taking BrookLynn to school and noticed a bike in the garage. Crap. I felt bad some little brat didn't have their bike. I went inside and Eli asked if I liked Elle's new bike!! haha!! yep I do!! He had stopped by D.I on the way home. I had to go get her out of the car and show her. She's had a perma grin ever since!! Thanks D.I. $4 is well worth it!! Until next time!

Mesquite

On Monday night Eli and I took off for Mesquite for a little R&R, Birthday, whatever we call it...it was a wonderful get away! We had a great dinner of Prime rib and king crab legs. It was so good! My favoritest part was the hour long swedish massage! It was the first time for both of us, so a little unsure of how everything was done it ended up great. I'll admit that mine was a little bit better than Eli's! He had a girl and I had a guy. She didn't do a very deep massage and Eli said she spent alot of time on the shoulder "bone"! The muscles inbetween his shoulderblades get really sore and he asked her to move in toward his spine but thought that she was rubbing a knot out or something!! Anyhow it was great and we both are looking forward to the next massage!!

Our Weekend

We had a fun Easter weekend! Kacee and Cole came down. We ate way too much candy and junk! But had a lot of fun. On Saturday we hurried out to an easter egg hunt at the park. We were late and missed the hunt, horrible I know.....my poor girls! They were so excited. BUT! (There's always a but isn't there!?) They had a huge blow up slide and jumper that the girls loved and then they played at the park for awhile. It wasn't a total loss??? We had bbq's and games which was way fun. Sunday we went to church. I was glad to be done with accompaning choir and a flute number with the junior primary. Yep, flute. I haven't played that thing is forever!!
We hid some eggs in the back yard for the girls. They found a lizard too! It was pretty funny, they weren't too sure what to think of it.
To top of the whole weekend......the girls got their hair cut! Elle has a cute little bob and BrookLynn chopped of all of hers.....I'm still in shock! She is going to donate it to Locks of Love. She loves it!
It was a fun weekend!

Another One Down!!

YES!! He did it again! Haha! Eli just passed his multi-engine rating yesterday! What a relief! He was very relieved to get that over with. So now on to bigger and better things....ok they may not be that big yet, but this is the way to get there! We are putting in a couple applications to small places around here! The Grand Canyon has air tours and started hiring this month, So hopefully they are still needing help and we will get a job!
Last night BrookLynn was brushing her teeth and showed us a huge cavity on one of her molars so that was wonderful!! Its always something isn't it! She missed a week of school and was very glad to go back!
The girls are loving Spring! Elle wants to go outside before breakfast and stay outside the whole day! We took them to a fun (different) park in Santa Clara the other day and they want to do that every day also!! Its pretty funny to see them so interested in stuff. Elle is totally consumed with her ballerina outfit. I will get her all ready for the day and she will come out with her "baler-weena" on! Anyhow, thats whats been new here in sunny St. George!

Wyoming

Loved this one of Elle and Grandpa walking back to the house!
Grandpa "Great" and the girls getting the chicken eggs!

Elle is exhausted! Amazing where and how she can fall asleep!


Our trip to Wyoming was great. We got to go hang out for a week with fam. The girls had fun with the baw-ma's! We were able to fly this time....(Thanks to Allegiant Air $39 per ticket!) which made it great! The girls loved it and they did really well.



It was a little on the chilly side while we were there! (by our standards of course!)



Eli is still busy with school. He is taking the rest of his commercial rating today. Then he moves on to work on his multi engine rating. The plan is to start this week and get the rating by next week! Thats the joy of an excellerated program..... it's supposed to be quick training and get where you want to be sooner. But of course it's more difficult at the same time.



Who knows where we will be in 6 months! We can hardly wait to be done with school. Eli doesn't have a set plan on what he wants to be doing! After he gets his Multi engine rating it is just time building to get enough hours to apply for an airline. Sooooo.... thats our life right now!



We finally heard on our housing! We will be able to get in the 1st of April! Yeah! Thanks to Kyle and Catherine for putting up with us for the last three months!



BrookLynn and Elle are growing like weeds. BL got a violin to start learning. It is so cute and very teeny!! I started learning awhile back so it will be fun to learn with her!
