My New Home... For Now

I officially have moved FOUR times since I got back from school, this time I moved from my dad's company's condo downtown to Tim and Kamie's spare room in their basement apartment. I am sooo grateful to Tim and Kamie for letting me move in, even though they don't have much room to spare! So thanks a million Tim and Kamie! I love you guys!

I am literally taking over their storage area with my clothes and air mattress, and I love it!


GOOD NEWS MINUTE:
Matt and I found an apartment!!! We will be moving into a basement apartment in Millcreek, actually in the same ward that Matt's dad grew up in! I will move in next week and Matt will move in officially after we are married of course! Pictures coming soon...

Bear Lake for the fourth!

For the fourth of July, Matt and I got to hangout at Kamie's family's cabin on the Idaho side of Bear Lake, literally overlooking the lake. It was the best weekend! It was so nice to relax, take naps in the afternoons, play games, and EAT without feeling guilty until I got home...

On Friday we met everyone in Logan for fireworks that were shot out of the football stadium. It was fun to be back in Logan, I miss being a full-time Aggie!


On Saturday, Matt and I played with his brothers in the Bear Lake west golf tournament. We didn't play amazing, but it was fun and a perfect day for golf, not too hot, but still warm! Matt hit this shot off the tee box on a par three that went over a little lake. It was amazing! Can't get closer without being in the hole! (He made sure I posted this picture so everyone could see...)




Later that day we took the four-wheelers and tested out Tim's new gun. I even got to try it out, Kamie took a sweet picture of me with it, I'll have to put that up here another time. We went up with Sarah and Derek and Kamie and Tim and enjoyed the beautiful mountains overlooking the lake!


Nanny Diaries

I love my nanny job! I must say that this is the best job ever, I get to play, play, play all day! It is so fun to see how everyone learns and grows. The babies are doing tricks now, my favorite is "What does a bear say?" and they growl at you. LOVE IT. Hannah and Mason are always surprising me with something they say, and Chloe shouts my name when I walk in the door... what more could I ask for?

Andrew and Zach got hair cuts over the weekend


Mason and Hannah made marshmallow animals, people, and machines. Chloe just ate the marshmallows.


My FAVORITE video... Mason doing hula hooping on the Wii Fit...

Photo Overload!

So the last few weeks have been a little crazy! Getting settled in two part-time jobs, living a nomadic life in search of a home for the summer, and keeping up with wedding plans and playing! So here is a quick update of all the goings-on in my life...

This is the view from my "home" for now, an apartment at the gateway, thanks to my dad's company


Adventures in nannying! The twins decided that playing with the toys from the toy box was not enough... they wanted to play with the toys IN the toy box. It was good until Andrew closed the lid on Zachary...

I can't believe how big they are now!


Timmy and Matt's favorite song "Riding With Private Malone" inspired this funny car ride...

I kept trying to video Tim and take pictures of him, but I could never find him because he was hanging out the window singing to the passing cars! He was having so much fun!


Tim, Kamie, Matt and I went to the Scottish festival at Thanksgiving Point last weekend. No, Matt did not get me to eat haggis... SICK! But we did have some freaking good kettle corn (a must at all these types of events), and had the pleasure of watching Matt and Tim dress up and play with toy swords...



My sister Cassie had her spring showcase for her dance studio last week. It was so fun to see her dance, it reminded me of all the performances I used to do when I was little, and also reminded me how my daughters will take dance classes when they are young! Bring on the tutus and glitter!

ENGAGED!

Yes it is true. Matt proposed! Here is the story....

June 3, 2009
Tim and Kamie bought a fire pit for the front porch and we have fires like every night out there, so it wasn't weird for Tim and Kamie to be over hanging out. We were even taking pictures "to show Diet" because he is not a huge fan of the fire pit plan (that's what you get for going out of town Diet!).


Later that night, we are chilling by the fire still and Kamie is like, "Matt, we brought your birthday present over, do you want to open it?" and he gets all excited and starts opening his present. As you can see, he is holding the present away from me so I cannot see what is inside. I was practically falling out of my chair to see what he got because he seemed so excited and even said, "This is the best birthday present EVER." Duh, of course I'm going to want to see it.


Next thing I know, Matt whips out the ring box from the "birthday present" and gets down on one knee and proposes. He totally caught me off guard and I was 100% surprised. Way to go Matt. Kamie was snapping pictures while she and Tim basked in their glory of pulling off the surprise. Even Timmy kept the secret!


My ring is beautiful and I am sooooo happy that Matt and I are getting married!


Wedding plans are coming along. I am OCD about everything, and have made about a million lists of everything to do, to wear, to buy, etc, etc, etc, already. The date is August 15 so mark your calendars! Love you all!

Sarah and Andrew Moffitt

So last Friday, one of my best friends Sarah got married! The reception was at the Salt Lake Country Club and was amazing! It was soooo fun to see all the girls, it is sad that we only get together at weddings now. I love them all! Sarah looked beautiful of course and the cake was yummy. Congratulations Sarah!
