Finally updated!

Oh wow. Where to start.....It has been a crasy couple of weeks and way to much information to possibly type all of it. So...I am just going to post some random pictures of the last month!

This is Rai doing an arabesque as she saw it on the Barbie movieThis is Lissas next door neighbor Frank. He came over, and Rai came running into the room and started hugging his leg. I thought for sure that she thought it was her Dad or even her Uncle David....nope. She just immediately loved Frank. She would stop rubbing his face and put her head on his shoulder. Luckily he is a nice man and Lissa and David know him really well...Even still..We will have to have the stranger danger talk once again!

Jocy LOOOVes the cats at Lissas house. She cant get enough of them!

Logan and his Uncle David playing at our house in Las Vegas.

Jocy does NOT like sitting with Lissa at the table for breakfast. This is a regular occurance at the table. In fact, she doesn't like when Lissa talks to her at all! You would think that she would be used to her by now since we have been here for 2 and half weeks already!

Cutting Logan's hair. I did a pretty good job too if I do say so myself!

Logan, Amber and Jade in Las Vegas

My Girls and their matching shirts...

I looked in the closet today and realized that my girls had matching shirts ( Thanks Lissa!). How have I not bought them matching clothes before??!! Isn't it cute? I am going to have to raid Lissa's clothes and make her give me more matchies!

Logan's First Day of Kindergarten!!! WAIT...didn't we already do this???

Logan started his first day of Kindergarten at his new school in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. He was very excited to go after having a few weeks off of school. They started Aug 24th here so we had plenty of time to move and get situated before we had to start up again. They do things a little different here...Logan doesn't have full day kindergarten anymore ( which is a huge bummer - I was very spoiled at eduprize) you have to pay $300 a month for all day kindergarten here in Las Vegas. Not going to happen. Logan doesn't seem to mind though. He loves his school and he has made a lot of new friends and has adjusted very well. The second day of school he told me that I didn't need to walk him to class because " he can do it himself". *sigh* My little boy is growing up so fast!

Our new house in Las Vegas!

What a crazy week! We packed up and left for Las Vegas on monday. I have been unpacking ever since... I got a few good pictures of the house. I havent finished cleaning up my room or Logans room, so I was absolutely not going to post a picture of that mess! Here are a few pictures of the rooms I was able to clean up...

Another shot of the front room. I had to take pictures at different angles since Charai is going to help me decorate by picture... :)
The kitchen
This room is obviously not finished yet...
Rai and Jocy's cute bedroom. I had to take a lot of pictures of their room because it makes me so happy! I pulled out all my purple decorations from my purple room growing up. I love it!


This is one of two big splash parks in my neighborhood. We have already been 3 times this week!

We love our home, and we know we are supposed to be here, but we sure do miss our family and friends in AZ. We love you guys!

Jocy's 1st Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Jocy!! Storm turned 1 yesterday! I know I say this a lot...I can't believe how big she has gotten! She has a ton of personality, (and a ton of attitude) :) We are so happy to have her in our family. word to the wise...strawberry cake..not that good...

We woke up from her fun birthday yesterday and it was like she grew up overnight. Today she decided to actually try to walk everywhere. She has been taking steps for a few weeks, but was never really interested. Now, she tries to walk everywhere! She also decided today that she likes to climb on to everything. My other kids never really did that, and I don't know how I feel about this! It probably doesn't help that I have boxes everywhere for her to try it out on....

Climbing...
she made it...
time to crawl into the DIRTY laundry. Gross I know...
She made it ! Look how happy she is with herself...

Las Vegas Update....

Its Official!!! We are moving to Las Vegas! Zach got the official word this morning...he got the job! He has to be there on the Aug 24 to start the academy, so we will be working hard to get packed up and settled by then. Woo Hoo! Thanks for everyone's prayers!

Kindergarten!!!

Logan started Kindergarten today! I can't believe my baby boy is old enough for school! Here is the run down of Logans first day...

Logan just before leaving our house...

We just arrived at the school...
Dad walking Logan over to the "Kinder Gate" To meet up with his class...
The fam...
Logan and his teacher..Mrs. Eicherly
Lining up with his class to go inside...I was so proud of him. He was so excited to go.
Notice how Logan is the tallest one in the class! The boy in the white shirt next to him was the second tallest and Logan was easily 2 inches taller than him!
Logan had a wonderful day today... He said he learned about science and his teacher said he did great in class. He found a baby lizard that his teacher said he shouldn't play with and it died, according to Logan, because he played with it too much...( what a boy)! After school we drove up to the main gate and his teacher walked him to our car. He had such a great day and we can't wait to do it all over again tomorrow!
