Random Pictures from our move, etc...

I am back, I have a ton of pictures that we've taken over the last 2 weeks and haven't been able to download until now so I thought I'd just post a bunch of them for you....

Our new FAMILY room....full of boxes and mess...

We found out that a mouse had tried to get in before we moved in...here's the damage to our screen. We never actually saw a mouse in the window well so we assume it got out, but I figure it must have been pretty upset to have made such big scratches. There are quite a few cats in the neighborhood......hmmm.....


Ash and Preston cuddling on our "new" recliner

Our apartment cleaned out ------>



Ashleigh making dough...she loves her mini rolling pin and baking set-thanks GnG Call

My new kitchen faucet.... -------->


Our Realtor gave this to us as a thank you....it's great---I write down all our meals for a whole month on it! What a life saver!


My flowers and our "Believe" sign from my sister Tamsen.


We were watching Enchanted---very cute movie---and spotted Preston in this strange position watching it. He stayed like that for about 5 min! Funny kid!

On hold for a while

Life is still pretty hectic here with unpacking, organizing, getting on a new work shift, etc, so until that all calms down a bit, I won't be on here for a while.....Just wanted to let you all know...

Oh, we have a new email address--- nicknmeg2@digis.net
Please make a note of it! Comcast will be disconnected on Wednesday 3/26! Thanks!!!

And please only call our cell phones for a while...until our phone is set up. If you don't have our phone numbers, send us an e-mail and we'll reply with our phone number! ok? Thanks!!!

House and work

It's official, I am the new part-time overnight CSM at Wal-Mart. I start on Friday night...I'll be working 1030pm-7am on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I think this will be really good! I am so excited! The raise isn't nearly as much as I think it should be, but it is something, so I'm happy. There are currently 2 overnight CSM's...one who is a "back-up" meaning her title is Cashier, but she works as CSM on the nights when the main one has off...which isn't often. The main one-Susan-has been working 6-7 days a week for the last 2 months!!! She is definitely in need of a break! I am glad I can be that for her! The "back-up" (Lynne) has called in sick for the past 6 nights!!! tick tock, I think her days as back up are coming to a close! She's just not very reliable! Anyway, I am excited!


AND....the best news of all, we officially have our house, we have moved about 60% of our stuff already and the rest will be moved today (Saturday) with the help of some wonderful family and friends! The problem, however, is that the City of Eagle Mountain didn't tell us ahead of time that it would take up to 3 days to get our power and water hooked up, so we've been light-less and water-less everyday!!! Makes life kind of hard when you want to clean but have no water to do it with.....hopefully Nick and Randy can get it turned on for us tomorrow at least so we can clean...with out getting in to trouble..... ;-) We'll see!
I'll post pictures of our move soon..... woo hoo!

Future player for the Jazz???

We took a break from cleaning and packing up our apartment so Nick could play basketball with Preston. I was able to get a couple really cute videos of them. If Preston is able to be over 6 feet tall, he may have a chance to play in the NBA--especially with the kind of moves he does in these videos. ha ha.


Road trip with Quinn to Payson

Quinn and the kids and I went on a road trip to Payson UT yesterday. Her friend, Richy, was working down there so we went to visit...and so I could meet him. We had lots of fun!!!! Sure love our road trips!

All ready to go....


Taking her sweatshirt off....I let Quinn drive!


Ash was really tired...and grumpy.


Preston's banana peel....oops


View from the van....pretty!


The kids playing outside.


Looking at one of the many floor plans Patterson homes has to offer--that's where Richy was working so he took us around to see all the different houses.


I only got pictures of the back of his head---sorry!!! I'll try to do better next time. And of course I forgot to get more pictures from our drive home. Oh-well. It was tons of fun! :)
