Denver, Stay At Home Mom, What??

Well hello everyone! We are back and hope to be a little better about this, this go around. We have had quite the life changing events over the last couple months...

First we had birthday fun in April which included taking a trip to Colorado since I had taken a few days off for mine and Ike's birthdays. It was not very well planned, but it was very fun. We pretty much just booked a hotel room and hopped in the car. We however forgot many things like Ike's birthday presents and that it would Easter when we got home and we had purchased nothing! We pulled it all off pretty well, thanks to our minivans stow and go seating area, we were able to hide all of the presents and Easter supplies in the floor :) For Ike's birthday we celebrated with cake for breakfast...I think this may become a new tradition it sets the mood for the day and tastes delicious! However Hailey found it so great that she would like to celebrate her next birthday in Hawaii or Mexico....this could get expensive in a hurry.

Next we were on to Jason getting a job offer with Sports Authority in Colorado! Wow we went there fell in love and now we had a job, things couldn't have been working out better. Soon Jason left for his two week summer camp, blech! While he was there Saralee got wind of him leaving and found him a job here...even better! So the kids and I began packing and throwing things away. We listed the house and found an apartment. When Jason got back, I went on a work trip while he finished and we met in Ogden to drive out with my parents. Thank you mom and dad we couldn't have done it without you, you truly are the best!!! We were settled in a day and it was great.

Jason started work and I took the week off to do some exploring and settling. I LOVED the time I was getting with the kids and they loved it too. When I had to go back to work you could cut the tension in our house with a knife. The kids HATED it. They were crabby, fitty, pouty, whiney, and just rude...I'm not sure that I was much different. After a couple days we all knew this wasn't working, so we looked over the numbers and decided I needed to be done working. I finished out the week and have been exploring parks, libraries, and everywhere else ever since! I love being home and the kids love having me here.

This has truly been an amazing couple of months! It's been a large whirlwind, but now that it is all settling down we feel blessed by how it has all fallen into place so perfectly.
We love and miss all of our family and plan on visiting soon!!
