March 2008
Ok so today is March 6th and i just found out about this blog stuff. I know im a little slow!! So i thought i would sign up and give it a try.
Well I think Allie is getting the cold that we have all been passing back and forth for the last 6 weeks. Jessica woke up with pink eye today. At least thats what I am thinking. Called the Dr. and just waiting to hear back wether or not we need to take her in or they might just call in some drops for her.
Steve was in a car accident on friday morning. Thank heavens he was not seriously hurt. A little achy and a nasty headache but is well. The car was not so fortunate. We bought it for 6 thousand in november and they want 5100 to fix it up. We only had liability on it so insurance wont cover it so now we are trying to decide wether to fix it or buy a diffrent one.. When it rains it pours!!!
We are still trying to get used to life here in New jersey.. Its been a hard adjustment for us all but hopefully it will get better day by day.. We are missing home and family in utah terribly.. The kids are doing pretty good in school and we have kept them in their same activitys they were doing in utah. Allie with her piano lessons, Austin with his karate and we decided to put jessie in horse riding lessons and she is just enjoying it so much.. She has had such a passion for horses since she was just a baby and now she is just loving the lessons. I think we are in trouble... she has been asking for a horse since she was 3 and i dont think she will ever stop. We keep telling her to save her money!!! We are excited for spring to come and be able to be outdoors more.. We have had a couple days since we have been here that has been in the 60's and it felt so nice. But then drops by 2o degrees the next day.. The weather pattern is really strange here. We did however finally get our first snow a couple weeks ago which made us feel a little more like home. I even got to shovel the driveway for 1 1/2 hrs. They canceled school for only 4-5 inches which we thought was really strange because in utah it would have to snow 3 feet for them to cancel school there, but hey the kids loved it and had a blast playing in it. Unfortunately it rains out here like every couple days so it didnt last long and has been melted away.
Allie and Jessie both had their birthdays in february. We celebrated jessies by going to chucky cheese and taking a friend. For allies we just had a family party gave her a scavenger hunt to find her new bike and we let her have a sleepover with her good friend yunni from school, and this friday we are letting her invite a few of the girls from school to have a pizza party hoping she can get to know these girls a little better. It has been hard on her because she only has made 1 good friend in school. We dont have any girls her age that live near by so it has been a big change for her to get used to. She has learned to play with her brother and sisters or just read alot. We are hoping we find more girls her age as it warms up and kids start coming out more. Austin happens to have 1 friend (Jonathon) in his class at school that is in his primary class at church as well so they have become pretty good buddies and he lives about 5-6 blocks away so he plays with him. And there is 1 girl on our street (Alysse) that is jessies age so she has made a good buddie as well. We havnt found anyone for logan yet and she feels kind of left out but she is still to little to be really going to play with anyone yet anyways. We hope the kids find a couple more friends to play with to give them a little variety but are grateful for the ones they have made so far.
Steve is staying busy with work. Its not quite what he was expecting but is trying to make the best of it.. It looks like he is going to start traveling again for the next few months for some trainings going on within the company so hopefully once its over he will settle back down and be home a little more. I'm still just me doing the same thing i do everyday being a mom and all the fun stuff that goes along with that responsibility.. I hope to find a good friend out here to go do some things with occassionally but i tend to be a little shy and dont make friends real easily.
We are looking forward to this summer to have my parents come out and go see some of the history back here. And maybe a visit from some good friends back in santaquin. We miss our friends terribly.. Anyways thats us and what life has been like for us since we moved out here in Dec. I'll try to get on daily to add stuff but wont promise anything..
