My sister Chelsea came to stay with me last tuesday, she's staying with us till we move down to Phoenix. I'm planning on putting her to work. We have lots of packing and cleaning to do, and I'm glad to have the help!!! So far, we've just been having fun. We're putting off the working part! ha ha. Wow, nice face!
We had some CRAZY fun last weekend. We got together with our best friends Curtis and Courtney. We went to Target and got a glow in the dark football and some glow sticks. Curtis was charging the football. It only lasted for 20 min, so we had to keep charging it.
With the glow stick we made a hole in them (usually with a lighter). That's why Nate was playing with a lighter. Once you have a hole in the glow sticks we threw the glowing stuff all over the place. We went to a dark area with lots of trees and threw it all over them. It looked like tons of stars. Then it got a little out of hand and by the end of the night we were all covered in the glowsti ck juice. It was so much fun! I tried taking pictures of it but it didn't really work out. Here are my failed attempts.
This is supposed to be a picture of Nate, me, Courtney and Curtis. You can kind of see shapes but not really. It was so much fun though!!!

The Nelsons

Last weekend Nate and I got the awesome opportunity to watch the Nelson kids while their parents were out of town for a couple days. They are the coolest kids ever, but we had our hands full!! We went to the pool on Saturday, Nate took some of the kids to go see Space Chimps, we watched all 3 Spiderman movies, Nate and I played "You smell like........(fill in the blank)" with Hunter, I haven't laughed so hard the whole time we were there. We had so much fun the whole weekend, and without any major incident. I'm even more proud to say that our marriage survived the weekend (I did stress out once when a certain two year old got into the kitty litter). But we made it through. Candice asked us if we're ready to have 7 kids and I do have to say, if I had 7 kids like the Nelsons I would totally do it. They are the neatest kids and we are so sad to be moving away from them. The best part about it all was when Ryan and Candice got home and Lucee came to me over her mom. That totally made my day. I'm sure that was just a fluke thing but I loved it. This picture was taken just before we took off to the swimming pool. My favorite is the way Lucee is looking at Nate. It pretty much described their relationship for the first couple days. She warmed up to him by the time we left. We had so much fun and we just love the Nelsons!

We're Moving!!!!!!!

Well, Nate got a transfer for his job, and we are moving to Phoenix!!!!! He is most likely going to be working in the Glendale or Scottsdale area. And we are moving on the 2nd of August (with Nate's brother Taylor and Kristin). We are so excited to be so much closer to home and all the people we love. We still have so many details to work out like...... where to live......where Nate is going to school....... and where I'm going to work. It's a little stressful trying to figure it all out and in such a short amount of time, but I'm sure everything will work out. We have been praying for this for a long time and we are so happy to finally have an answer to our prayers. We are sad to leave our ward and all the friends we've made but it's worth it to get out of the nasty winters!!!!! Yea!! We are so excited and just can't wait to be back home!

Slip 'n Slide

Holy Cow I haven't done this for years. We went with a bunch of my siblings. The slip 'n slide was definetely made for kids 12 and under but we had way too much fun with it. We got some good pictures too. This is me almost running into the tree.Will

Baseball

We celebrated Jacobs 9th birthday on saturday. We had a good time eating cake and playing Wii. We got Jacob a baseball glove and a ball, so we decided to go play that night. It was so much fun and the best part of it all was the weather. A storm was rollin in. I love monsoon season in Tucson we got some good rain while we were there.

This is Nate's sister Carli. I had to give her a few pointers on how to swing the bat. Knees bent, elbows up, and most importantly booty out! It made all the difference.

Kanela Rose

We got to meet our new niece this last weekend. She was so much fun to hold. We love her so much. She was born on May 15, so she was about 6 weeks old. She had her blessing on Sunday and her dad did such a great job. She was born into such a loving family.

Nate was so good with her. To my surprise he is really good with newborns. He loves to hold them and he always puts them to sleep. I keep wondering why we don't have one of our own he would be an awesome father. Someday it will be our turn. :) This is my favorite picture. Just look at that face all scrunched up. Like I said Nate knew how to put her to sleep. We just have to work on the diaper thing, ha ha.
















The proud parents Sandy and Will. Will put on his crazy face for this picture.
