One Roof

We are finally under one roof again. For the past seven months Sheramie has been living alone because of work and finishing up his internship. Me and the kids have either been braving the cold winter in Rexburg or playing by the pool at my parents in California. Now we are living in Northern Nevada. We just moved apartments and are still getting settled in. Sheramie was living in a one bedroom apartment, and we moved in for a few weeks..besides it being not permitted, it was a little tight with us all sleeping in one room. We stayed down at my parents and went to the coast, zoo, swimming and just enjoyed playing with Grandma and Grandpa and the kids loved having their Aunts so close. Sam graduated high school while we were down there which is so weird, shortly after she started school at BYU. My 10 year reunion is coming up and that just unreal--where did the time go?

We enjoy our new apartment. My mom and sister came up to help us move and they were lifesavers. Dad came back through after dropping Erica off at BYU-Idaho. It was fun to have them here for a little bit. The apartment is nice. The kitchen is a little small (there is only 1 drawer and 4 cabinets above the sink and 3 under. (If you think your kitchen is small try this one.) It does have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths which is great. We were able to get rid of our storage unit and are slowing downsizing. The kids each have their own room and really enjoy it. We are enjoying it too because they are the majority of the time sleeping through the night. Miles now has a real bed instead of the play pen, Madison upgraded to a twin size bed and loves it. She picked out her own bedding and a matching stuffed dog which she named "charlie" after my parents dog. She has a style all her own (which should be obvious with the love of her pink stylish sunglasses she sports daily). They both have grown so much over these past months. Miles started walking and turned one in July he has been picking up a few words here and there, such as "up, down" (from a Winnie the Pooh song), "dog, cat and bird". Madison continues to work on her ABC's and counts really well..when she wants to. I am loving, yet still adjusting to being a stay at home mom. Hope you enjoy these pictures.

Going down the slide all by himself..kids grow up too fast!
