It's hard to believe that we've already reached a new year! My last post was over 6 months ago... and a crazy 6 months it's been!
Z turned 5 in August and we had the option to send her to kindergarten or let her have 1 more year of preschool, after much thought we decided that one more year of pre-k would be great, especially with a big move coming up. She is enjoying school and is beautiful and feisty as ever. She loves dresses and all things sparkly, and though she challenges me every day, I love her to pieces.
Ryler turned 8 in November and was baptized, I still can't figure out how my little boy has grown up so fast! The house, as suspected, went a month over schedule so Ryler was baptized in Farmington with 3 of his buddies in the ward. He kept telling me that he was going to do a cannonball into the font, which wouldn't have surprised me, but luckily he never followed through. Ryler is the tease in our house but charming nonetheless.
Aspen also had a birthday in November, she turned 3 and as 3-year-olds go, she is a very pleasant one... except for 2 weeks ago when she cut a big chunk of her hair off, and Zoey's too. She's lucky she has such a pretty face to offset the haircut!
Taevin turned 11 just a couple of weeks ago. My handsome boy is getting so big, he's in 5th grade and has been very excited about making new friends.
We moved into our new home just 2 days before Christmas which wasa little a lot crazy. We set up a little tree and the kids decorated it with candy canes and bracelets, we were surrounded by boxes and without a fridge and washer & dryer, but we were excited to be in our home.
It was harder than I thought it would be to leave Farmington, not so much the tiny rental house that we had hated for 2 1/2 years, but the friends we had made. I'm not sure how we've been so lucky, but we've always been blessed with phenomenal neighbors. Meggin, Kenny and Ruby next door ended up being amazing friends that we'll never forget!
Everyone we've met here has been friendly and welcoming and I have a feeling we're going to love our little cul-de-sac. We are settling in and are for the most part, unpacked. It's been so much fun furnishing and decorating our new home. During the construction process I kept myself busy by refinishing furniture for the house and making quilts for the kids for Christmas.
Russ' brother Josh & his family moved here to Stansbury just a couple of months before us and it has been so nice being close to family. We're loving this new place and feel so blessed to be settling into the place we know we're going to stay!
