2 week life span

Feb 1
A huge snowstorm kept us from lingering longer in Nebraska and we had to say our goodbyes quick.
(I hear small town Nebraska is a great vacation spot,
anyone up for buying this?)
*we will miss this house. a lot*
and alls das peoples

It was hard to leave. There were tears all around.

But tears turned to grins when we stayed the night at a hotel, and hit up the smelly pool.
Feb 2
We pit stopped for a few days in St George. Where we played with cousins, aunts, uncles, grams, gramps, ate delicious food,
but most importantly
let Julie work her magic.

Feb 6
Paul, the babe and I drove down to our new town of Buckeye
to get the keys to the new place.
Which we will be leasing until one of you buys your new vacation home in Nebraska. {make it quick please}

New place.
The house in the middle.
Its a tight fit in here with 3 bedrooms and 6 peoples.
But the master bathroom is worth it I tell you.
{huge fan of grown up tub time now}

Leah, Asher and Maya spent the week in Utah riding horses, eating cheetos, watching Despicable Me, and whatever else their little hearts desired.

This gave me time to unpack and set up shop while only playing mother goose to one child.
And here is how she spent quite a bit of her time.
{at the drive in movie}

Feb 11
Summer, Mom, Julie and baby Cole
drove down the chitlens to their new home.
They got here late on Friday night.
Maya could not for the life of her figure out how her room looked just the same, but the house did not.
She kept saying in her little mouse voice,
"someone took our house mom."
We partied and shopped and ate and found lots of parks to swing the babies on.
Did some Jillian Michaels
then ate some more.

Feb 14
Which bring us to today.
Leah starts school tomorrow.
Pauls been at work for a week.
I have most of the boxes unpacked.
Weve eaten at Chick Fil A 1 million times.
The kids are swimming at the pool as I type
Ive only seen one dead teency scorpian (hallelujah)
And found a little gem of a park up the street.
Me thinks were gonna like this place.
So come visit.
Any time.
My door is always open.
Unless its locked.
which is a lot.
since we arent in Nebraska no more :)

Fun for new beginnings!! Your old house looks so adorable and cute! But then I see palm trees and I think I'd rather go down there.

I'm so excited for you and jealous you live somewhere so warm! I'm hoping we don't freeze to death in Colorado. Good luck with everything.

Yay for warm weather, swimming pools and parks within walking distance! I am so glad you are getting settled and loving your new place. Here's to your house selling super-fast. It's so darn cute, I'm sure someone will snatch it up!

Okay...Arizona looks amazing!
I would be sad to leave that darling little house though.
And Chick-fil-A? It's a vital part to my survival too! YUM.
