Moab:)

We live here finally. It has been a whirlwind the last few months going from saving to buy a home and be settled in Rock Springs (we really never wanted to stay but figured we could never move), to moving to this amazing place. CRAZY to us still :)ImageI don't think we have stayed home one day since we moved here. Everyday we are out biking, hiking, running, exploring. My kids have loved it here and they are such best buds right now. My kids are dirty so much more because we do stuff like this all the time. Crazy cause in Rock Springs we were inside or at one of my friends home all the time. What a change we are so excited to have more than 2-3 months of summer. My kids are obsessed with outside that is all they want to do or play in the garage..

ImageHere is my little ray of sunshine she wanted a pic of her on the railroad tracks this was one of our hikes. She was pretending to be tied up like in cartoons so nerdy. She has been my little ray of sunshine seriously this little girl it doesn't matter what is going on she happy. She was happy to move, she is super happy here, she happy everywhere. I am really impressed with her attitude about how awesome everything is.
ImageI can't remember what Lucas said this was but it was so much fun. I don't think we have even scratched the surface of the fun stuff to do here.

I have to be a little sappy but I feel like I have my best friend back. He is so happy and smiles/Laughs and loves life I missed this Lucas. When Lucas wasn't working for Ryan and Nate anymore, I didn't realize how sad that really made him until later. When we moved to Wyoming cause he took a job at Bridger Coal, I didn't find out until he quit how he really felt about working there and what really went on. If you know Lucas He does not talk crap and he is not negative. But while we lived in Wyoming he was all but negative and sad. We went thru so most ruff stuff in Rock Springs, no one even knows about half of the crap that went on, because we just started keeping it to ourselves. It was really hard to move and have no family and no one to depend on or help us. But we did it, we learned and grew so much and we made it thru the hardest 2 years of our life so far. We did make some incredible friends in Rock Springs who are now family to us. Rock springs made us stronger and if we made it there we can make in anywhere. Especially HAWAII that's where I want to move next:)

Update(s)...

I know its been a while since I have updated but we have been so crazy busy. If you haven't heard yet we are moving. I will admit I was sad until last weekend when we went and found the place we were going to move too. I was so nervous cause really I didn't want to rent a small little place like where we live now. Anyway seeing the town and everything I am more and more excited. Plus really its so fun to move to new places, and the decorating possibilities make me so excited.Here are some photos the realtor sent me that is of a similar unit.ImageI am so excited to have a bigger kitchen. Our kitchen looks like this except it is flipped and I think the fridge is different. Its a 2 car garage / 3 bed / 2.5 baths. Plus a dishwasher a dishwasher enough said. I thought the kitchen was vaulted ceilings its only the upstairs. I guess it just was really light and open a very different change from where we live now.
ImageHere is what are front looks like I really like it. This particular complex doesn't' have very many units(there is one next to us with a ton of units) and has a pool that is opened Easter weekend, and a playground, and basketball/tennis court. It will be fun to live here and my kids will absolutely love it. They get there own rooms which will be so nice for everyone. Anyway we also wanted to rent a bigger place for visitors, cause everyone is welcome to come and see us and do fun outdoor stuff.
ImageMy sweet baby west:) we went to Primary children's hospital today I was so hopeful that is would be our last visit. However, he is still failing his hearing test in the right ear. The doctor convinced me that we should do exploratory hearing test. This is where they go into the ear and look at it etc.... They will have to put him to sleep which always makes me nervous. He was right if he is def there are alot of things we can do now to prepare him for school etc... It makes me really sad because its all my fault. If I hadn't been sick while giving birth to him he wouldn't have gone through hell and back. And now he might be def (even if its only in one ear) and I honestly feel like its all my fault. So I am having a really hard time wrapping my head around this. So this is a very sensitive issue for me. But my son is such a happy little man and so much fun. I am so in love with my little guy...
