I am going to try and start to blog again. In Jan 09, we put our house up for sale in Logan. We decided to move down to Lehi so that we have a better retirement. During the summer my wonderful parents allowed us to live with them. Kody started working in Draper in April of 2009 so he came home on weekends and slept in the car during the week (which is 3 nights...he works 4 tens). When it was time for the kids to start school, we came down to Lehi and lived in a hotel for 10 days. The only problem was we still weren't able to move into our house so we had to stay at one of my dear friends house. Thanks Tanya and Dave.



We love our house in Lehi but really miss our friends in Logan. We stay busy with Halee in a dance company, Isaac in scouts and soon Samantha and Isaac will start soccer. The Dance Academy that Halee goes to just went to Saint George for a competition. They took 1st in their lyrical and 2nd in their jazz. She has practice 5 hours a week and has learned many things and her latest trick is a back bend kick over.Samantha is also in an integrated preschool and enjoys her new friends that she has met. She only goes on Wednesday and Friday but has a wonderful time.

Painting Eggs

Friday after school Grandma and Grandpa Fackrell came to celebrate Isaac's and Kody's birthday. Isaac opened the card from Grandpa and Grandma Nelson and there was money, so of course we HAD to go spend it. Wal-Mart has so many choices for me, let alone a 7 year old. I have tried to teach my children to save money but they still will not do it. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Saturday March 14th was a busy day. The kids had a primary activity and Isaac didn't want to go because he was so excited about his birthday party. I had to remind him that he still had several hours until his party started. For his party we just made cupcakes and invited his friends to McDonald's. Boy did Isaac hit the Star War's jackpot. It is hard to beleive that seven years has passed by. I am so thankful to have Isaac in our lives. He brings us lots of joy and love.

That night we had our friends over and we sang Happy Birthday to Kody. Afterwards we watched the Aggie game and my friend Shannon and I played Phase 10. I am going to miss playing games with them and hanging out when we move.

Sorry to all my friends and family who have to suffer while I learn how to do this blog thing. My first pictures are huge and I even did the size to fit. Please be patient with me and I will do my best.

The kids and I just went to Wyoming to celebrate my Grandma's 84th birthday. She is the oldest daughter and was diagnosed with cancer one year ago, and outlived the time they gave her. Before she got sick, she had been healthy all her life and only been to the hospital once to have something removed off her chest. It has brought a lot of my family to visit and put the Priesthood to work. I am thankful for Kody who was able to administer to her with one of my uncles. Having the Priesthood in my life has been a wonderful thing, and I am grateful for a husband who honors his covenants.

Thank you Amy for having the party for Grandma and it was wonderful seeing everyone.
