So for you who don't know we moved. Not a big move just to the other side of St. George. My grandparents are leaving on a mission and asked if we could stay in there house while they were gone. So we have been planning this for a while. We would have liked to sell our town home, but as we all know the market is not so hot here in St. George, so we decided to rent instead of sell. We ended up renting in out a lot quicker than we expected (like before we put the sign up!) So we dropped everything and pack up and left our home. We have had such mixed feelings. We Love our little town home. It is so warm and cozy we hated to leave it but it is a great chance to save some moola.
So as you can imagine our lives have been turned upside down trying to be out in 3 days. I can not believe how much junk we have accumulated in the past few years, yikes! My grandparents were nice enough to move out most of there belongings but we still don't fit. We have a storage unit FULL, their Garage FULL, and Shawn's Trailer, FULL also. Needless to say we have the house FULL to the brim, and we have fully restocked the DI. Shawn and I have vowed not to go shopping for a long long long time.
Jack has finally settled in and is enjoying having a bigger room, a yard to play in, eating dinner out on the patio, playing in the pool and most of all discovering new things in every cupboard. He has been such a handful this last week. He has learned to whine and get his way, which is quickly going to come to a stop. If he can't get something open or get to what he wants he lets out this ear piercing yell. Can we say OH BOY!!!! But we still love him more and more each day. He has developed so much these past few weeks. He loves to talk and talk and talk. Most of it is just high pitched squeals, but he can say Scout and says it about 100 times a day. It is really cute. Jack can also say Momma and Dada and Jack. We hung these pictures of him on the wall and he will point to them and say Jack, well it doesn't sound perfectly like Jack but he is getting there. He still is not walking. He loves to push everything around, but the second there is not something to hold on to he drops to all fours and is completely fine with crawling. We will keep you updated on the walking... Jack had figured out how to point and wave bye bye, which we have been working on for awhile, yeah. His personality is so funny I will try and try to teach him things like waving... and he acts so uninterested, then one day out of the blue he does it like "it ain't no thing" He has also picked up on this playful shy thing. When he first sees someone new he buries his head into my shoulder, then slowly he peeks back at them. You got to love it. Here I go again jibber jabbing about Jack.
One other thing I washed my cell phone in the washer, sweet I know. That darn phone!!! So I am lost without any phone numbers :( so if you get a second will you e-mail me you cell #'s. shlambert@hotmail.com. I hate hate not having a phone, it is the worst and they are so expensive to replace.
Well this is all for now. If you are over in Green Valley area give us a call (well not me for a few days) you can come and check out our new pad....

Wow! We must be related! I can't believe you washed your cell phone! So something I would do. Jack is growing up so fast. I guess it is somewhat humorous that your one year old says more than my two year old. I guess you're a better teacher! I must be too much of a pushover.. literally.. why talk when you can just push and pull Mom around. Can't wait to see you guys this weekend and to check out the new pad!
p.s. call me so I know how to get ahold of you. New house phone?
How fun! Not the moving part-- but the bigger house part...
moving is such a pain! we'll be moving on campus soon and I'm already thinking about what I can get rid of...it's going to have to be alot. Yuk! good job getting it all done.
Moving sucks I know that for sure! As for Jack, man that kis is freakin CUTE! I'm glad Payt's not the only one throwing tantroms and screaming. ha ha.
We will FOR SURE visit your new "pad" when we come!
Thats great you are all moved in! It is amazing how much stuff builds up in a few years! Call me when you can :) Have you bought a new car seat for Jack?
That is awesome that you have the chance to move in there and save some dough! Jealous! I bet it was hard to leave your place though... I am the same... I love out little place, its the first place we have actually made out own so it would be hard to leave. But I would do it in a second for free rent or no mortgages!
Im so glad you live by me now! We will have lots of fun! And thanks for the cupcakes, they were way good! Ali ate hers for like an hour, she took tiny nibbles here and there and it seriously took her so long, i guess she just wanted to savor the moment! :)
That's so exciting that your grandparents are on a mission! They will be great missionaries! I'll bet it felt sorta good being able to get rid of a few things, or more than a few things, by moving! I loved moving to California cuz I had to get rid of A LOT. But Ben and I decided when we move someday, we're getting movers. It's HARD moving! haha good luck getting settled!
Did you rent it out yourselves? WE might be getting new renters in ours too.
Hayley-So where in Green Valley do you live now? Are your parents selling their house anytime soon? I know they were thinking of moving a few years back. I am envious you have a pool for this summer! How fun.
Your not my friend anymore:( Wahhh I am going to pout now!!! Now I don't have anyone to yell out the car window at.
