Bunks

Well it finely happened! the boys grew up and we broke down.(Thanks mamom and Papa for all your help). The boys got a bunk bed this weekend. and the best part was the store we bought it from delivered it and put it together for us. the boys LOVE it. they climbed up right away and dax helped put the sheets on his bottom bunk. Then put him self right to bed. it was too cute They play on it almost non stop. Adam Dax and I all fit on the bottom. It works out great. It took us almost a month to get Malac from his crib(that he didn't want to give up) to his big boy bed. I have a feeling, it will take us at least that long with dax. He can crawl out of his pack and play but he apparently doesn't want to give up his crib just yet. When laying with dax didn't work we figured we'd let him play till he passed out or what ever, but he kept crawling up and bugging malac and turning the light on bugging malac so I brought the pack n play in thinking it could block him in and keep him in bed, it sorta worked. as i pulled in the pack n play Dax yelled "YEAH!" he was so excited. then after I blocked him in, he threw in every piece of bedding and stuffed critter and climbed in himself, and went to sleep.  the boys love the bed but it will be interesting on how to get dax to sleep in the bed!

Jam'n

well  i've been busy! It was my first time making Jam by my self. First I de-seeded all the raspberry seeds from the jam. This makes the jam very yummy. It's hard to see but that wad is not jam, I got a little more raspberries out of  this but it is almost all Seeds! who knew we eat so many seeds from such a little fruit. Then you add pectin and sugar. Lots and lots of sugar. Then the jam sits out and volia! the best jam ever! I got 2 bags from a church berry sale, and from that I was able to get 16 canisters of jam. Enough to even make it through Christmas breakfast! yum!

Airplanes

WEll yesterday Adam flew to California for work. He left from the Wenatchee airport. It's a cute little airport. There was a large fake apple on the wall Dax wanted to eat and a large artistic metal plane hanging from the ceiling, that both boys insisted was REAL! We got to watch Adam's plane land, unload and load again and fly off into the rainy clouds.  The boys LOVED it. We got to talk to Adam on the phone through a thick piece of glass the boys kept trying to talk through. Thankfully it's a short trip. We miss him already. The airplane at top looks JUST like the one he flew out on but his had a husky W on it. can't wait to see you Friday honey!

Were Here!

Well we have finely made it to Wenatchee. We spent just short of  a week living at Adam's Aunts house in epharata, while we waited for our house to be ready for us. It was super nice of them all. Then we moved in to the house with the small u-haul load we had. We have been here just over a week and our moving pods just got here. So now we get to unpack. The past few weeks here in wenatchee have been the hottest of the summer, and i think the paper even said they were record breaking, so getting our stuff in the house is a slow process, as no one wants to be in the heat. On top of that my two little helpers, slow me down quite a bit. This house has the least amount of storage then the last few houses had so it is difficult for me to figure out where everything will be unpacked to. Some of our can foods will have to go to the garage as there is just no room in the kitchen. Our new ward here in Wenatchee is super friendly and nice. there always seems to be a gathering or activity going on and they work hard to make sure we are included. And one of the nicest things is, if I want to jump in the car and go to the store I CAN! I don't have to drive a half an hour to get some where or spent twice as much to get it faster. We are really enjoying our new home and area. That's whats up with us. more pictures will come soon, as soon as i figure all the gadgets and stuff out.

Changes

Well we have had changes. After living in Quincy for two months the house we have been living sold, giving us 20 days to find a  new home and move.  So here it is. It is in wenatchee nestled against a hill. It is 3 bedrooms and nice inside, the only down side is it is not fenced. but we'll live. It was the nicest house in our price range, most were dumps, or close to it. So we are so grateful to have found it. There were several other people looking at it, and the lady after us, told the lady she hope we had a criminal record, so she could have it.

In other news, Malac is again having a very hard time, lots of temper tantrums and crying. we talk to him all time but it only seems to go so far. The other day he couldn't control him self and I tried to hug him to calm him and got a sore tooth and a large purple lip. Malac was calmer when adam went into talk to him, he asked if my "broken" tooth killed me. After a few talks he is doing a little better.

Dax is as silly as ever. He ends every sentence with "funny huh!" He loves to talk and laugh. His vocabulary expands every day. He is always in to something and doing what malac does. They are both dancing all the time and both seem to love songs mixed with a little techno-not too much.  Were loving Adam's new job and having him home so much. We'll move at the end of the month, and that's whats up with us!

family pictures

This summer we had family pictures taken here are some of my family's favorites.

Traveling zoo

We have been busy lately. We drove to Salt Lake City with most of Adams family.We did lots of fun things. We went to the Discovery children's center and mall, Dax loved this place as he could do what ever he wanted and touch everything. We also went to snowbird, its a ski resort that in the summer does lots of fun things too. We made it for the last skiing weekend. It had a lot of fun things for the older kids, and a really good restaurant. Then we went to thanksgiving point to the dinosaur exhibit. Malac loved everything here but the  3d movie about Sue the T-REX.  Then on Sunday we went to temple square. It felt a million degrees outside, but all the sights were so lovely. Then Monday we took Adams parents to the MTC. Afterwards we did some really fun stuff they missed out on. We had Sub Zero ice cream its ice cream made fresh, from scratch, then frozen right in front of you with liquid nitrogen. AWESOME, and great for kids who are really into science. I recommend the banana ice cream, although Adam's MT DEW was pretty good too. Then the girls went to temple square and got charms and I also got missionary action figures, which i have to say are totally sexist. no girl missionariess or old people missionaries. Afterwards we went to Cherry Hill a water park. Dax hates the water so it was a real fun stop. Malac had fun though. And then we ended the day putting of fireworks to make all our guys happy. there were so many other people putting off fireworks we had our own show from every angle.
        Now we are home, it is mostly quite between the tantrums Malac has started to throw. Lots of unpacking to do to. I wish I knew what the future held, then I could know how much to unpack, and if were going to a similar sized house or smaller or what. I hate not knowing. But I am enjoying what I have while I have it. Adam is heading up to Seattle latter this week for more training. The boys melted down in church on Sunday so I didn't really get to meet anyone, hopefully we will do better next week. We miss our friends and our family but we have faith that we will make friends soon!
