Visiting Friends


Celeste (with her three kids) Jill, Jennifer, Kristine, Teresa (I am totally stealing this picture) Janna, and Me

Last week right before I moved I went up to Pocatello to hang out with high school friends, and have lunch. We have done an amazing job keeping in touch with each other. I was a great time to see them again. Last summer we had our own "friends reunion". It was great to get together again. Even if we still can quite seem to get everyone there. But I loved seeing them all and all the kids we have too.

Moving!

Life seems so busy. We have had a wonderful summer, and are getting ready to start school for Landon next week. I think that we are going to try and move places this week. But not sure as Marcus won't commit to anything yet. Either this week or next. We found a town house that we are going to rent. It is just a few miles from where we are living but it is bigger - not much but has a two car garage that is attached. We really need to get our stuff moved out of the parents garage. But we are hoping Marcus' grandpa will let our boat spend the winter in his huge garage again.

The kids have mixed emotions about it. Kylie for the most part is very excited. She is usually pretty good to roll with life and okay with change. Landon on the other hand doesn't want to move houses. We took the kids on Saturday to his new school and let them play on the playground. Then today I took the kids and got Landon registered for school. We got to walk around and find out where the library is and cafeteria. He is still luke warm about moving schools. The new one looks pretty cool. Can you believe they have five 1st grade classes!!! Five - I was really surprised. But it is townhouse land were we are moving so it makes sense.

We will sign on Wednesday and probably get the keys. She is moving out today and doesn't care when we move in since she will be moving states. I would like to have us all situated before school starts next week. In my head it would be easier for Landon if the house is stable and not in boxes or in between houses. We will see what Marcus decides to do. But I am sure I will get my way, because he is good like that.

Teething in Twos

Tannen had been a little cranky butt about 1-2 weeks ago. He wasn't sleeping well at night, and for a couple of nights I ended up sticking him in my bed - which I really hate. I wasn't sure what was up. Well about a week ago we were wondering if we were seeing two bottom teeth coming in. I was a little puzzled because with Landon and Kylie they would get red swollen bumps and then there teeth would cut through. Plus they always bit me while I was nursing them when they were teething (but only when they were teething). But he didn't do either. Tannen has been drooling like crazy and gnawing on stuff for the past couple of months. But a couple of days ago I could finally FEEL his first two bottom teeth. I was pretty surprised that they both came in at the same time. Plus I am pleased that he hasn't bitten me (yet as Marcus would say) which he will hopefully continue. That way I will be able to nurse him the full first year and not buy formula.

Also yay for yesterday Tannen turned six months!! I can't believe the time has just flown by.
