We Moved!!!

So John being gone 24 7 was just not working. Us girls were missing him and he us. So while I came to visit during Thanksgiving we house hunted. I never found any thing but John had 2 more weeks till he came home for 2 weeks. So he found us this cute little 4 bedroom 1 bath place. It is cute and close enough to John's work we even eat lunch together, a first in our almost 5 year marriage.

We are only here tin May or June some time so we tried to  leave as much home as we could get by without. We moved the 17th  and plan to get back to Gunnison by June at the latest.

D'Ennas room,  I am borrowing the crib my mom used for Zack and I growing up. SO we didn't have to risk banging up the beautiful one John made.

  Got to have a changing dressing  area. I think I need a bigger bow holder.

 Kaydence's room / toy and book room. I found a killer deal on the Tangled bedding  so I let her have it in her new room. She adjusted so well.

 The master, we have a tiny room at home. Moving to this is a nice up grade.

 The family/ entry and a peek into the kitchen. 

 Family and hall. there is a closet laundry area, it is nice to have it close to the kids bedrooms.

So this is the worlds smallest bathroom and the only one for the entire house. But it keeps us clean.

 We moved up here on the 17th of December, so not only did I have unpacking to do but I decided to do Christmas as well. I tried to only bring what I could get into 1 tote.

Thanksgiving

Well I am feeling like the poop of mothers tonight. I forgot to take any pictures.  I packed up the girls  and headed up to Idaho to be with John(he had to work, and it made more sense for me to drive than him).  This was the first year I had ever not been in Gunnison besides 1 year, but I was still with my parents at my aunts so that doesn't count. So this was huge for me. ha ha. The food was great and the company was fun. It was a big group of people. John did have the day off, so he got up early and went hunting ducks, then came back we got the girls dressed and went to lunch.  We had lunch with John's family in Burley.So We all got together at a church. All of Susans siblings were here. His mom and dad married siblings so grandpa Barclay joined the fun as well. Sorry there are no pictures. :(

Halloween!!

Halloween was so fun this year. We( Kaydence D'Enna and I) Went to Idaho so we could be with daddy. So we went trick or treating in John's old neighbor hood. It was super cold so we only did 5 houses  and D'Enna went back to John's Aunt and Uncles. I think Kaydence would have stayed out all night!!! She did help hand out candy and thought she was pretty neat!

We couldn't keep the leaves out of D'Enna's hands she loved them.

 D'Enna and Siri, Siri is John's double cousin Dougs little girl. They are only 5 days apart. it is so funny to watch them crawl around  now.

Family Pictures!!

As always isn't it amazing how fast your babies grow and change? I can't believe D'Enna is this big already. Her favorite things are anything mom purees. I got a baby magic off an infomercial ha ha. She  really just loves to eat.  She is so happy and has the most amazing spirit, she loves to snuggle into your kisses and hugs. She is our "average sized" baby according to the charts, but still seems so petite. And I love it.

We had my favorite photographer do us some family pictures. Jessica Ann Photography. I guess 7 months with a new baby is about time.  I love Jessica, she is so good to put up with my crazy ideas, but I am good to let her try out stuff on us as well. I could not be happier with the way these turned out.  It was kind of a quick  decision with John's work I knew we would only have a few days with him home. So I grabbed some stuff for John and I and the girls outfits I had.

Kaydence, did not want anything to do with D'Enna being on her lap so I was shocked to see 1 picture let alone this one that is so CUTE. There had to have been a few hours of photo shop to get this.

Our little Kayde Bug, she was woke up from a nap, it was not good. but once she woke up she loved the camera. I was so glad Jess is patient.

 Some of our fun family shots.

 John and I hadn't really had any pictures of just us since our engagements. So I had her sneak a few as we were leaving.

 And this is how I was sure all the pictures would turn out, crabby pants kids and parents pretending to be happy. ha ha. Love picture day!!

Ship Stuff--

Pirate Party

 

 Formal Night, I got the girls matching dresses, can you say stinking cute!

 Kaydence loved all the towel animals!! She slept with one every night.

 Welcome aboard party. Yes We all had matching blue shirts made. :) it came in handy

 We stood in this line full of wired little girls and cranky parents for more than a dang hour all just for pictures and autographs.With the princesses.

 Breakfast with the Characters.

 Mexican Riviera Minni. Ha Ha

 Princess Tea party!!! You are only able to come with a special ticket.  Don't worry I got them the first day. Ha Ha, time well spent, Kaydence loved it. Juice, cookies, princesses and a mini ball, yup you can't go wrong.

The Princes snuck in, too, don't they both seem thrilled?

 The Ball

 All 10 of the granddaughters. What a beautiful bunch of girls. Watch out boys!!!

Puerto Vallarta Wednesday!!!

 We took a private tour!! it was so dang fun, Thanks to Stephanie and her inability to not plan. She and Scott got us a little tour set up, we went to a killer little  beach and waterfall.  Then to a restaurant and another beach. John and I got the best FRESH seafood platter ever, it probably could have fed the entire population of the island. But soo yummy.

 The boat ride knocked out all the kids, by the time we made it to the island.

 a pelican Island thing, there are tons of nests, because the predators can't make the swim.

 Our little snorkel group, I was chose to be photographer, D'Enna was too small to go out, maybe the idea of it was scary.

 Ken and Lindsi with their 2 boys.

John Took Kaydence out, she loves the water!

 Gunner and D'Enna, how cute are they!

 The older kids played in the sand while we had lunch and the babies napped. 

 

Friday Cabo Day 1 & 2,   Sorry the pictures are all combined. We did the whole tourist thing our first day, John and I met a lady who claimed to be Pinks mom or mother in law. Who knows, the grill she worked at had great food. We bought the girls including me  little Spanish dresses, it was 117 that day so we all traded our clothes and just wore them. They were nice and cool! Then we had to be back to the cruise ship.Day 2 we  had a great day, a mini glass bottom boat tour along the coast over to this gorgeous beach "lovers beach" it was really nice until about 11 when all the rest of the tourists arrived and crowded us out. all the adults took turns tending kids, while the others went to see "divorced beach".

 Waiting for uncle John( aka John Bar) to work his big spanish magic on a killer boat deal, ha ha.

 Fish!

 This is how D'Enna kept grandpa out of trouble. They kept each other happy.

 John and I  saw a few guys jumping off this rock and thought why not. so swam out and Jumped off the top of it Soooo fun!!!

 The girls made"muffins" for like an hour it was so funny.

 Chillaxing in the ocean!

 Sea Lion island, lazy bums.

 Window to the pacific.

 Our sandy feet picture! Kaydence loved all the sand.

 

 Lovers beach, peaking at Divorce  beach

 I am going to DIE!!

But some how we still made it alive, all for a cool picture, John is too brave some times
