WOOOOOOA WHAT HAPPENED!!!

Well as some of you know the first few weeks in Utah were full of surprises. Emma was really sick for a little over a week and everyone else in the family except for me, thank heavens, got sick as well. Luckily everyone but Emma was only sick for about 24hrs. So for about two weeks I was constantly cleaning up throw up and doing Laundry. Since everyone finally seemed to be doing better I thought we would take a trip out to my Mom and Dads. About 5 minutes from arriving to our destination I look in the rear view mirror at Brigham and Ammon. I wasn't sure what I was looking at so I asked "Briggy, what is that on you?" he said "I don't know, paint." I was thinking where the heck did he get paint from. When we got there I took all the other kids inside and came out for him. I opened the door and to my horror realized that he found the refilled ink cartridges that my father in law so nicely filled for me. I had placed them into a glad storage container and put them in the back storage compartment in the car when we were driving up here to live. Anyways, he found them and thought that it would be a great idea to take them out and play in them, and yes I mean play IN them. This is one of those moments I wish I had my camera, luckily my dad did and took these pictures for me.

For those of you who are wondering, It was church the next day and I was thinking there is no way I am taking this child to church looking like this.

I took him into the bathroom and thought, how in the heck am I going to get this off of him. Everyone who has ever had ink on their hands knows that it usually stays there for at least 2 days or longer, so how would I get it off. I started with rubbing alchool for his face and hands and that took off most of it, then I put him in the bath and the water instantly turned a nice dark shade of blue. We did go to church the next day and he didn't look so bad. Hopefully he will never do this again but he will probably be the one to always keep me on my toes. I sure do love this silly little boy.

Update

Well, we made it. We have been in Utah since June 5, 2008. YES!! We are back together as a family.


I know I haven't posted in such a long time. We don't have the internet yet so I have been using Jenny's Computer and haven't had a whole lot of time to post.

Since I last posted Brigham has turned 3. His birthday was May 19th and we had a combined party with his cousin Connor. It was a lot of fun, and it was at a very nice park. Thanks to the Monroes for planning it, I don't know that I would have been able to give Brigham a party. He had a great time.


Andy and Stacey moved into our house the next weekend to help me finish getting things together for the big move. It was so nice having them there. My good Friend Aletha saved me with all of her expert help with packing and moving. I couldn't have been able to do half as much if I didn't have her help. Andy and Dad Terry packed up the Trailer, and it was stuffed. I even managed to throw a few more things in there after they left on there way up to Utah. I set off the next day after I stuffed the Sequoia with everything I would need for the next few days. And man was it packed. I had it almost up to the roof with bags and I even had stuff tied down on top. It didn't take too long to get there and we of coarse went to Tim's work first to say "Hi" and then headed out to our new home. We are renting Becky and Charles home in Tooele. We have been here almost 3 weeks and are trying to get adjusted. I miss California and everyone there, but there is a higher power telling us that we need to be here for one reason or another, hopefully we will find out sooner then later.


We (I meen me, mostly) have been able to do some fun stuff with the kids. I took them swimming at the aquatic center here in Tooele. They loved it and can't wait to go back. We go to the park right around the corner from our house almost every night. Tim doesn't usually get home untill 9:30pm or later, so I try to keep them busy throughout the day. We also went with Jenny and Connor up to Emegration Canyon and walked on the path where the Pioneers came through. It was really cool. We are going to go back with Tim so we can walk up a little farther and have a picnic. All of us went to the Hogle Zoo to see all the cool animals. Afterwards we went to the park for a picnic and then a few other places before we headed on home. On the way Tim had a great idea to drive up into this canyon by the house and have a BBQ for dinner. It was very nice and relaxing.

The boys are already enrolled in school and they picked out their teachers. There are only about 625 students total. They will be able to walk to school or even ride their bikes. Well I will post some pictures later but for now this will have to do. Thanks to everyone who help us get up here.
