We put earnest money down on a house in Eagle Mountain. The builder was Sierra homes. We loved it until we got to walk through a finished modal. (Every time I have moved into a new place; my apartment in collage, our cave of wonder, and our current home when we walked in we just knew) When we walk out of the modal we both had major negativity feelings. Then when Greg was redoing calculation we discover that we would be stretched thin on finances. It was a huge example to me about the lord commandments; Live within your means. He says that so we will not be as stressed and happier.
We have been using our pass of all passes; we went to Ka Fu Panda 3. The kids thought it was cute but the best part was all the popcorn. I went to Idaho with Timber to see Baler and just get away from life. I tried to make Sierra and McCarty oneies before I left (I am a boob man but my cricut would not work) when I have some down time wink wink I will work on it. We stopped at Sierras for the first night. It was so fun. The kids just played and played. They even got into play makeup. Everyone looked so pretty. Sierra had baby chickens. My boys could not get enough. Denali started getting really ruff, he put them all in a hat then yelled popcorn chicken while bouncing them out. (I owe sierra a chicken or two). The next day we left Denali and took Katana on to Carts. At McCarty I was ready to be out of a car and move. Blazen, Brenden and I ran a mile. I was so proud of myself. (I have really started to run again and it made me feel so good, it makes me a nicer person and gives me tons of energy throughout the whole day) Baler is so little and McCarty took to being a mom like a duke takes to water. She is so happy! The 3rd day we went to moms. Brenden took Cart and I to Simco road. We all piled into the Timbers Van (6 kids and 3 adults - you cannot take the Nef out of our blood). Colvin was being himself. (he had not slept very good and no nap for 2 days.) Timber and I were just talking and asking questions. About 20 min into the drive McCarty yells out, "Can we do anything for or with him" yes McCarty learn to ignore him. When we got to moms I was so excited to see Denali. I hugged him fast and was good. I had a way harder time than he did. We went boating twice. The first time we had to be towed in by this little fishing boat. The guy was super nice. Then Monday we were on the boat for hours. I got in a tubing wreck and really jacked up my knee, we found out later I have a grade 2 tear in my MCL. I had to have a MRI, the worst part of the MRI was it was sooo cold I could not even relax. Greg had to be a stay at home, dad for most of the day. He did good but was glad to go back to his normal job. (I also discover that I have very vain and hated having a limb) Colvin loved the tube but he was mad to get on and mad to get off. Denali was just so excited to be on the boat he could hardly contain himself. Sierra had left Denali's blanket, he was really brave for 2 nights. When Brenden picked up Cart, Preston had met him at the freeway to drop off his blanket. That night he was holding it and said mom this is so nice. I had a question for all my siblings; what is something weird that you find attractive on your husband, Timber - Aces chest hair Me- Gregs feet Sierra- Preston Butt (that non of his pants fit him) McCarty- the way Brenden pees Mom- dad hands Dad- mom ears. Idaho was so much fun I could never tell it all. We stayed up way too late and ate way too much food.

Right before I left I fasted that we could find a house. When Greg picked to up (Timber was staying in Salt Lake) He asked if I wanted to go see a lot in Spanish. Three hours later we had earnest money down and a contract. It is .29 acre in Spanish from Flag Ship homes. We went to the design center 2 weeks later. Our house has a red door, light gray blue outside, dark blue pop out and white trim. It was faster than we thought it would be, because we knew we did not want to upgrade things we can do later. We want a great foot print. We started packing right away, the sad thing is this is only a part of the boxes we are going to need.
When I got Home McCarty sent me to nicest email. I just love having siblings that are also my best friends. Mom would always tell us; Friends will come and go but siblings will always stay. I hope I can ingrain that into my boys.
Syringa,
Every time we get together it always uplifts us but sometimes its hard to
specifically cheer us individually so here is my cheer for you.
Having lived through, and causing I might add, you as a short fuse bomb in high
school you have mastered patience especially with your boys. But it’s not just
patience is love, love in its truest form what you do for those boys they are
your life. We give you a hard time but we know what you are doing for them and
that you live for them. They are becoming extremely caring and thoughtful for
little boys. I always worried about have boys but watching what a little boy
can be instead of what I fear they could be gives me hope.
You have/had amazing in-laws. You treated/treat them with respect and love,
living close you have developed the ability to bridle your tongue, let things
go and build a great relationship; this is a wonderful example to me.
I’m proud that you have lots of moms characteristic, I hope I can follow
in your footsteps as we follow in Moms. Thanks for your strength, friendship
and love as a sister, friend, and example.
I love you! Thanks for loving and building a relationship with me as a
sister even though we lived/live far and have been in different stages and ages
of life my siblings have always been my best friends (until I met Brenden) and
they still are very important to MY strength. Thank you
You are blessed and highly favored and everything always works out your way
Love,
Cart
I have never been addicted to a game until now. It is a kindle game called cooking fever. I was playing every minute I could. I had to stop and give my self projects. If I get this and this done then I can play for 2 days. It really did help I get lots done and after a little while I did not want to play as much.
Other something kind of funny thing. Duke acts like a mother cat to the kittens. He will lick them just like their mom. The cats are good and just stay there most of the time.
Jimmy Johns had a customer appreciation day, they had $1 sandwiches. I stood in line for about 15 to get one. I felt really old because I think half the high school was their but it was worth it.
Summer has started; we went to the drive through. We went to Zootopia. It was cute and the boys did really good. Neither one of them fell asleep till after the movie.
Denim had a dance competition in Spanish Fork. Greg stayed home with kids (mine and Timber's) I got to go with Timber. It was so fun to watch Denim. I am not sure when she got so big.
Greg also let me go to Madison's play Crazy for You. Sonya invited me because Sidney was sick and she had an extra tick. I will take anything I can. It was a really cute play. The kissing for middle school students was WOW impressing.
We ended April with a big bang. We had a party for the boys. Denali was over excited about his birthday annoucment. He insisted giving one to everyone he knew. It was colder than I was hoping for but it was fun. Tons of friends, and family came. The boys got so many presents. Denali wanted popcorn and pizza for their party. EASY! I make "Train" brownies (it was a pinterest fail). Ok, story about the brownie; I wanted to make brownies by scratch but could not find the recipe. I found a brownie bar recipe so I used that and double it. It spilled over and I had smoke billowing out of my oven. The smoke alarm went off and woke up Greg. Then I was late to the party cleaning up.
After the party I brought, Sammy, Tink and Drex home. (the rest of the family finished cleaning out grandma's house) the girls took a 3 hr bubble bath.
Some of my family were missing because love is in the air and they were celebrating Daniel and Madelene wedding.
Stories: They (Gregs family) is moving his grandma out. They asked everyone to go through the house to see if there was anything they wanted. Denali wanted the swing set. He settled for lot of popcorn.
*Until our kids are older it is not really worth really sitting down and listening to conference. We have it on and I know that I will read them letter to really get everything out of them. We did listen to one of the women’s talk for FHE and the kids did really great.
*Denali has a light up light saver. Greg was asking me if it still worked. Denali said yes dad you do this; he banged it on the ground and it started to work.
*Since running helps me get through the day, I had to really figure out what helps me relax. A BATH with my kindle. Greg is great to let me do this every once in awhile.
*Greg and I switched cars one day. I went to get into his car and it would not work. His key had broken off from the main part I did not think anything of it. We even had to have someone come and tow it to get fixed. The fix was to fix the key. Greg’s car had a safety feature that if the key is not all together the car will not start. Pain but good, now we all got new keys to Greg car.
