What Have we been up too???

We have settled to life in Utah. Josh started his internship and I think he actually enjoys it. So between that, laying carpet here and there, and remodeling the bathroom he has managed to stay pretty busy. I am just happy he is liking law stuff since I have only heard awful things for the past year....


The girls and I went to the zoo with my sis in law Amanda. It was a lot of fun and as usual I enjoyed it just as much as the girls.


Both of the girls loved this little turtle at the playground. Look at that little smile, it just melts my heart.These were by far my favorite animals this time. This little orangutan family was so cute. We sat and watch them for like 20 mins. We thought the big one was the mommy because we only saw these 2. The kids kept saying "no that is the daddy." It was so mean it wouldn't share the giant popsicle and kept swatting the baby away.

Sure enough the mommy came up from the bushes and gave the baby a great big hug. The kids were right it was definitely the daddy. Amazing how the gender roles don't change much even in animals....I am grateful josh is such a loving daddy.Hope once again, loved the giraffes. I think these are her favorite.


Hope is following in her sisters footsteps in more ways than one. SHE CUT HER HAIR! I was mortified. I was so angry I couldn't even talk, I knew I would scream. The funniest thing is she cut it with little tiny nail scissors. That is what I get for staying out til 2:30 in the morning and being a bum mom the next day.


We FINALLY got a new car. We loved our old one so much that when we found this one just like it, a year newer with half the miles, we couldn't pass it up. So though it looks like we have the same old car we really have a new love.

Brielle was so funny. She just kept saying little things like "this is my new car, but it is like my old one" The center console in the back seat is curious georges bed. She was thrilled to have it back.

My niece Jessica, and nephew Matthew graduated from high school last week. Congrats guys. We love you!
We went down to my brother in laws farm to see the baby pigs. Hope wanted to get into the cage with them, and felt so bad for the mommies. She kept pointing and saying "ouch"

I am so happy I only have to have one baby sucking on me at a time. Poor mama!Hope ended up stepping in like the only puddle around. It was a little green, and a little yellow, and a little brown so we are not sure what it was made of.
This is what her feet ended up looking like. Thank heavens for the hose right there, and thank heavens for rubber shoes!

As soon as we got here we started tearing into the bathroom. Fun, fun! We are slowly trying to get this worked out!

This is the most current picture. They were in the process of working on the plumbing, which left us with out water overnight. They thought they could do it and were really close they just had one small leak they couldn't get to seal....dang those leaks! We called the plumber and he was there to rescue us the next morning. Plumbing complete!

So, that has been our month of May. We are thrilled to be around family, but starting to miss our VA family.
We plan to keep filling our days with fun and work!
