Swing Time





Well... It got up to about 60 degrees today, so we broke out the tree swing and let the kids play for a little bit. They had a BLAST!

Malty Salty???

So, I was making some orange juice from the frozen concentrate, when Jordan walks in and wanted a taste. I decided, SURE, Why not? I gave him a little taste and he says "mmmmmm... Malty Salty". I looked at him and said "What? Where did you learn that?" He told me that he learned it all by himself. What a strange little boy. But man... It was FUNNY! He is such a sweetheart. We love having him around.

Update on Our House!!!

Here's the update folks. We have had our house listed for less than a month and we have shown it only 3 times and each person that we have shown it to has made an offer. We SOLD our house. Can you believe it? We have had a few realtors tell us that it was going to be extremely hard to sell our house on our own. They told us that we needed more exposure, but they ALL said we have done an excellent job at displaying our home and they ALL loved it. That makes us feel good. We have put a lot of work into our home and with mixed emotions we are leaving it behind. We had one family come look at it that said they could really feel the spirit here and that they felt peaceful. You know... we are TRULY blessed. Heavenly Father will ALWAYS be there for us and it is pretty amazing. We give all credit to him. He says that if we obey his commandments we will be blessed, and we have!

So we will be closing on June 3rd. Both houses will close on that day! How miraculous is that? I am just in AWE at how this has worked out for us.

Digging to China



So... Jordan was outside digging by the apple tree (his favorite thing to do). I came outside to check on him and he said "Mom, I'm almost to China". I just chuckled. I asked him where he had heard that (cause it wasn't from us). He heard it from his friends Jake and Austin at daycare. What else does he hear from daycare? At least it wasn't something bad. It was just out of the blue. I remember when I was younger and thought that I could dig to China too, I even thought if I dug too far I would get to where the Devil lived. Ah... the joys of being young. I am looking forward to everything that my children are going to come up with.

Our first REAL days of Spring




Okay... I know Spring officially started on March 20th, but here in Idaho it has been darn cold. It has not felt like Spring yet until Saturday (April 12th). We finally got up into the high 50's low 60's and it was Heaven. We LOVED it! We spent all day outside on Saturday and Sunday. It was wonderful! I even got a little sunburn (YAY for some color!!!) Anyways... Jordan and Elly just loved not being cooped up inside. They were playing and having so much fun. We even got some yard work done.
