Well I am slowly adjusting to the fact that I really do live here. For some reason my brain keeps thinking that I will be going back home but this is home now. It amazes me how much closer we are as a family. Grant you we just hang out with each other every night but we spend more quality time together as a family. I really feel like one of the luckiest gals around. I have an amazing husband and two amazing kids who I love more than anything. The Lord has definitely blessed us in more ways than one. All the trials and struggles we have gone through to get where we are today have made us the people that we are. I am getting in to a routine and starting to feel a little more comfortable being here. We were able to go to the USU vs. SUU gymnastic meet lastnight and it was a lot of fun. The girls thought it was the greatest thing ever. We also ran into one of Ryan's old friends from Mesquite who used to live in Logan and now they are in Enoch. Which is right by us so now we know of a great family we can get together with which I am really excited about. They are really fun and great people. We were also able to spend last Saturday with the Hess's which is always great. Patti and I went and had our pedicure and let me tell you it was heaven. My feet were in desperate need of one. Then we cooked out on the grill and just had a great time together. It was like 67 degrees so we just enjoyed the beautiful weather and let the girls run around at the park. We go to our new doctor here on Thursday which I am extremely nervous about but I will let you know the update on our little guy then. He is still kicking his mom's butt and Ryan thinks he is trying to tell us to let him out of there. I hope that is not the case at least not for 5-6 weeks!

Our Visit to Logan
Wow!! What a fun weekend we had for our first visit back to Logan. We arrived there late Thursday night and were greeted by my sister Mindy and all her kids. They came running out the door to give us hugs. It was great!! I missed them A LOT! The girls had a sleep over at the Neal's that night. Then Friday Mindy and I took all the kids to spend the day at the fun park. They roller skated, played lazer tag, and played in the soft play. They had so much fun and did not ever want to leave. We went to lunch at Grist Mill!..one of my favs, and headed to the doc. Baby is still doing great and we are only two months away. I am more than ready for him to be here. I am done being sick everyday and just want him here to play with. That night all my family went to dinner at Hamilton's while the kids stayed home with Shak and had a pizza party of their own. It was delicious!! I am still a fan of Copper Mill though. Saturday was a busy day. We started it bright and early with the girls doing a cheer camp up at Utah State. We watched Taydem play basketball which was so fun. He does such an awesome job!! Then I went to lunch with all of my favorite friends from the hospital. It was so great to see them because I have not seen them for a while. Then my mom, Mindy, and I were off to the fabric store so I could find some cute fabric for my mom to make a baby wrag time quilt. Which we did. My mom is so amazing. She can honestly sew one in like two days. So I am going to make her sew a couple!! Then that night we went to the basketball game. It was a sold out game so as most of you know it is one of the funnest things ever. The girls danced at half time and did great. Of course we won and it was a really fun game to be at. After the game we headed to Cold Stone for ice cream. And ended the night with Tyker falling at cold stone and cutting his lip open and having to have 3 stitches in his lip. I hated for the weekend to come to an end but it was such a fun trip!! Thanks to my fam for making it so fun and spending time with us. I can't wait for you guys to come down here where it is much warmer!!!!

HELLO from Cedar!!!
Well things are finally starting to calm down for us here in Cedar. Our internet is finally working so now I can get back into the blogging world. So far things are great here in Cedar. I have only had one break down so I think I am doing pretty good. The girls just love it!! They think school is great, they love our house, and love our ward. Which has made the adjustment a little easier on me because I was worried about them. It hasn't even effected them at all. Ryan is in heaven with his job. He loves the people he works with and loves to feel important. They gave him his own office(with a window..his words), a new laptop, a new phone, and a company credit card. I know all of you are laughing but he is so funny. He says he feels like a big kid now. We really have been so blessed. All those years of sacrifice and being poor have paid off. School is definitely worth it!!! Now for me. I am SOOOO bored I don't know what to do with myself. I am not used to sitting home all day and it does not help that I don't know ANYBODY!! I miss my family more than words can describe! I love them all so much and have now realized to never take things for granted because I just thought they would always be right there so now that I just can't go see them or talk to them its hard. We are coming up to Logan this weekend and I can't wait to give all my cute neices and nephews a great big hug!!! I have tonz of pictures to post so I am sorry for the overload. So all is well in Cedar and I hope everything is going great for all of you. I miss you all and hope to see some of you while we are in town! Here are some pics of our house. I don't have any of girl's rooms or the master bedroom and bath because they were still a mess.
