Crossroads

Okay, obviously I'm just getting the hang of this. Not a whole lot has been going on lately. The kids have been having a blast EVERYDAY in the sun! It makes me quite tired to be outside so often, but I do it for them. Playing both roles (Mommy and Daddy) can be quite exhausting. Mike was usually the one to hang with them outside. That was my break time or cleaning time. We are getting used to things how they are. Penny & Max get to preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays and that gives me a little break to hang with Gabe. I really look forward to that time! But overall, not always looking for a break. I like hanging with my babies. They make me so happy and always make me laugh! :)

Right now, I am at a crossroads. Trying to figure out if I should go to school here in Rexburg or attend ISU at the Idaho Falls extension. I didn't submit a deferment for Spring Semester, and so now I am working on getting readmitted to BYU-I. It seems like I have to jump through so many hoops all the time here. That gives me the feeling that maybe we shouldn't be here. What I will miss about Rexburg if we move:

• My AWESOME Zumba class
• My neighbors and friends
• The fact that the playground is right next door to my house and I can see my kids playing outside from the window
• Being on my own and making my own decisions
• PRIVACY
• My ward (for the most part)
• Accessibility of every store I need nearby
• This is where I'm comfortable. I'm not very good with change.

Advantages of moving:

• My biggest support, which is my mom, near me at all times.
• No rent (I will still pay a little to help the costs for my parents)
• More childcare options if I do go to school
• No religion classes (expedite my schooling)
• Lots of areas for my kids to play (except I would need to watch them closer)
• Would need to get a storage space and have rental fees
• Make new friends...but really no one my age around

I'm weighing my options. I figure if I can't get back into school here, then I should take that as a sign. Really kind of dreading the whole moving thing again. I just don't know. Really, I would prefer not be have ever been put in this situation. Heavenly Father has a plan for us. I am sure of that.

FUN at Grandparents' House!! Finally! Summer in Idaho!

For Daddy...on his birthday...

Daddy may not be here to celebrate his birthday with us, but we still sent him a present. Pictures of his favorite things!! Too bad the stuff wasn't real.

How's that for your 30th b-day?? :\

The kids were sad because they wanted him to be here so that we could have a party and buy hats and whistles!! (That's what Penny said.)

May 15th - First Time on Tauphus Park Rides!

This was our first weekend alone, but Grandma treated us to an awesome day on the kiddie rides!! The kids were in heaven! Don't know what we would do without you, Grandma!! And Aunt Vanessa & Lindsay!

Penny's Tonsil Removal...June 12th

Oh man, this was not a good day for my princess. She took almost two weeks to recover, but she is successfully sleeping all night long now. The doctor took her adenoids and tonsils. Said that there was 30% to 40% blockage...that explains her awakening 3-4 times a night since she was born!! She is a different girl! She was looking a little high in these pictures...hahahahaha...you should've heard her giggling!! :)
