Relaxing...

We spent a few days at the lake house and enjoyed relaxing & laying by the pool.  Scott worked in the back yard down by the lake and groomed the front.  Mack played and took l-o-n-g naps after swimming in the morning.  Soxy & Moon chased squirrels and explored.  I read a book while we were there and really enjoyed our trip.  We went out for dinner in the evenings and watched the boats.  It is nice... there is no TV down there so we are forced to unwind a little. ;)

Fun @ the pool

 Mack enjoyed handi snacks on the way home...

This morning we woke up and Mack got "dressed" - tank top, boxer briefs, snow boots, and his new backpack.  He was racing around the house...Scott commented that he has really gotten fast lately! haha :)  So stinking cute!

... and then he topped off the 

  look with his bike helmet!

 

Grandma & Grandpa are coming to visit us later today.  We are going to the Clark County fair and look forward to a good time.  We are really starting to enjoy the small county fairs!

A visit to the farm

We stayed at Grandma & Grandpa Graves' house Saturday.  We took the whole family...Soxy & Moon enjoyed all the open space to run but were VERY preoccupied with the farm cats!  Saturday evening we went to the Davis County fair and had a great time!  We ate yummy fair food and Mack had a blast hanging out and riding rides with Uncle George, Ike, and Drew.

Twins - they were dressed the same! :)

Sunday we had a nice breakfast and enjoyed time at the farm.  Grandpa took Mack for a tractor ride - this was a big deal for Mack!  Scott and Mack rode the 4 wheeler around a little.  And, of course, Grandma took Mack for a wagon ride.  George came out and took all the boys to the pond to feed the fish - Mack will be telling stories for days after this visit!

We are off to the lake for the rest of the week.  Our local fair here in Clark County begins Wednesday - we look forward to attending when we return this weekend.

Have a GREAT week!

Our new house...

We were very busy the first week unloading and getting settled.  We had lots of help and greatly appreciated it.  My parents helped the first couple days - then Scott's mom & Loren came to help - George, Mel, and the boys also pitched in.  Thanks everyone!!  Scott has been very busy with football practice and weight training.  I have been cleaning and organizing.  Mack has been very helpful and enjoying our new location.  The preschool is right behind our house and we have been enjoying the playground in the evenings - Mack loves it! :)

Vacation @ the lake

We really enjoyed our week with Grandma Laura and Loren.  We swam, shopped, barbecued, dined, worked around the house, and relaxed.  We enjoyed an evening at Bagnell Dam - we rode bumper cars, looked in the gift shops, and had old time photos taken.  What fun!!

Day 2 of our move...

Saturday was a big day of driving.  We crossed 3 more states - driving a total of 16 hours and made it all the way to the lake.  WOW!  It was a long time in the car but we were so glad to be there!! 

Scott’s brother and family met us Sunday evening for a nice visit – the kids had a great time.  We all went to the pool and relaxed Monday.  Then Bryan, Dre, and the kids had to go back to Kansas City Monday afternoon. 

Grandma Laura and Loren arrived Monday evening in time for dinner and fireworks.  YAY!!! Mack was so excited to see them.   We had a really nice and relaxing week.

Well, we did it!  We got everything packed on the trailer, the car loaded, and we left Las Vegas today @ noon.  Today was our 5th wedding anniversary and we are excited about beginning this new chapter in our lives. 

I am so blessed to be married to the most amazing man!  I love every day we have together and look forward to all our future holds!
