okay, i am going to talk first, and then dump all my iphone photos second. because thats how we roll over here lately.
since i am the queen of lists.. :
1. we bought camper! and we have had many adventures in it thus far. we've camped in Preston, az. where we got caught ina giant monsoon! and no leaks in the camper haha we also camped in flagstaff. and were caught in yet another monsoon..but luckily by the time we got to the campsite place, the rain had mostlt stopped. we love camping. lynley just gets as dirty as possible, and we dont' have our cell phones attatched to us, and it's jsut nice to have peace and quiet. oh and beating the summer heat for a day or two is nice too :)
2. we went to priest lake! this year was honestly, one of my favorite years that i've had there yet. i am not sure exactly why? but it just was! sanette and everyone threw me a surprise bday party the first night we got there! 24. wow. i am old. and ikinda feel old right now? first birthday since probably 16 where it's like, woah! anyways, the weather at the lake was amazing, and the water was just perfect and crystal clear. everyones kids played together, and the babies were amazing! ah! it was just perfection all around. this year we played volleyball on the beach, so fun. it kept everyone entertaiend for hours and i think most of us walked away with decent tans becuase of it :)
3. we are MOVING. yep, that's right. and when i say we are moving, imean in 3 days we are moving. it's kinda....i dunno, not hard really, but just kinda ugh to talk about. but we are packing up and heading to utah next week for family weddings and such, and then on to our final destination which is washington. tyler is GIDDY with excitement 24/7. lynley is actually mostly thrilled as well. i am happy. i feel, content. i am nervous, and i get a little bumbed out when i think of the limbo that is in front of us agian. packing up my "stuff" for who knows how long? i like my "stuff" i like to make someplace ours. ya know? it's like nesting and junk. ha but anyways, mostly i feel great about it, i mean it's a dream job opportunity for tyler (working at evergreen, john deere there) and to be able to raise our kids away from the 5thish largest city in the country, and where they can have kitties and chickens, ya know? a great place, in a great community. all things that i want. just making the jump and actually getting there has been hard. trying to see the big picture for 2013 is hard, and honestly most of it is all still a blur.. the why's behind the ups and downs and twists and turns.. eh there is one thing that i do know, and that is that there is a PLAN. and it sure as heck is't my plan..someone much smarter. and that all these moves and from place to place and limbo that we've been in is for a reason.. that someday i will "get". for now, i am just trying to not think things through too much, and just go with it! i feel happy. and that is what matters.!! and to have ty doing high kicks and loud singing, agian is pure heaven for us. goodbye arizona.. you will be missed!!!!! ( i mean that!)
4. lynley learned how to whistle. she is alsyo very good at riding her bike and opperating the VHS player. she loves to sing, constantly, and she likes peaches, and lieks to eat one everyday. (heaven forbid us not have them in the house...!) she is excited to move to washington. and she loves to make mail. she sends ppl letters allllll the time. :) i love that. she still has a large entourage of stuffed friends that she loves. hazel is currently boxed up and it's hard on them all. she LOVES the little "find it" books. ispy? shes so good at them. she wants to go to preschool thi syear, so i need to find one in our new place. her amazing curly hair is getting super long and i love it. she 's little fishy too. she so big. my baby girl is smart and funny and loving and sensitive and she is our everything. her little freckly nose is my absolute favoritttteeee. oh it makes me melt. anyways, gush gush gush. i've been gushing about lnyley loo for 4 years, and i will do it for the rest ofer LIFE. lol :)
5. CALLIE IS CRAWLING. hello. that should've been number one for sure!! my baby! ah! she's so my everything and i love her more then ever. she's so sweet. she just wants to make people happy. she just wants to connect with you. and dangit that girl, she has me wrapped around her finger. no crying for her, ever if i can help it! ha! i plan on spoiling that baby absolutley rotten for as long as i possibly can. :) OH! and a slight fever the last 2 days..and i see 2 jagged little white outlines of bottom teethies in that gummy mouth, and dangit i almost cried when i saw them. happiness? kinda. saddness? ya. whoops i forgot, i am that mom. she is still nursing and eating. ah! she's perfection in a tiny little chubby baby girl. i thank heavens every day for her.
life is good. and we are happy and the church is true, and gosh dangit, we've learned so so much being here. we have loved the ppl we've met and all the expiriences we've had. on to our next big adveunture!
