Well we have done it. We submitted an offer for a home in Cedar Hills Utah! We both like the home but it does need work like lots of painting over the lavendar colored walls. Good thing I know some sisters that are professional painters that said they are willing to come up and paint the walls for us! Sorry Hanny and Min, Tia signed you up thinking you would be thrilled with the idea. So, you are on the hook. Get your drop clothes out girls!

The house is a short sale so there is a real possibility we wont get it. Shane seems to think that the bank might be ready to deal now so we’ll keep you posted. We planned to go up on Friday to see the house but Noah had been throwing up all day so Juli went with Shane while I got to watch the kids! Juli took some pictures with her iPhone so this is what we have for now. If our offer is accepted, we will get some better pics up.

Fingers crossed!

The rest of the pics are here (let me know if the link doesn’t work):

GUEST PASS

Our ward had an Easter egg hunt and breakfast Saturday morning. The kids absolutely loved it. They were all over the field looking for eggs and candy. Pics from this past weekend:

Unfortunately, due to current budgetary constraints, no party for you.

Love Dad

Happy Birthday Hailey!

This past week Hailey celebrated her 9th birthday! Good golly miss molly, where did the time go? We were just in Tucson at Hailey’s baptism and now this? It has got to stop.

Hailey has been so excited for her birthday. For at least a month before, she asked us everyday if it was her birthday or informed us that she was going to have a birthday. I love the picture above because it perfectly captures how happy she was once her birthday came. We decided to go down to the West Valley Fitness Center which has an indoor pool. They also had a party room right off of the pool area so we had a swimming party! Woohoo. All the kids had a great time except for Jos. She stuck to us like white on rice.

Speaking of Jos. She is up for adoption. Any takers? That stinkin kid is doing good. Her eye has completely healed. She has one more doctors appointment and if everything is ok then, the doc says that she wont have anymore problems like that for the rest of her life. She is entering her terrible 2′s right now so that might not be that long. Joslin’s birthday is on Monday. What were we thinking having 2 kids birthday’s so close together?!? That’s going to bankrupt me in a few years.

Noah, sigh. He was up for adoption too but we didn’t have any takers. He is so ready for school. Or maybe Juli is ready for him to be in school. I haven’t figured it out yet. He is so full of energy and activity that we can barely keep up. He always has something to say even when his parents are trying to talk, about adoption.

Conference is about to start for the final session. We have all been enjoying conference and hope you are too….
