Here's to a new adventure...

This morning we started our new adventure.... James starts his new job MONDAY!! He left early this a.m. so he will have plenty of time to get settled before his big day!!

 

My poor little Kobe cried so hard, he is sure gonna miss his dad these next few months. James had showed him how to help me start the lawn mower, told him what night to take down the garbage and gave him a few more instructions. I think Kobe was feeling like he is gonna be our lil MAN while his daddy is gone...

 

Mads was pretty sad too, she is pretty tender hearted!! But over all she handled it pretty well...

 

I cried here and there but tried to stay strong for my kiddos... This is gonna be hard for all of us, we are a pretty tight knit lil family. But we can do hard things!!

 

 

Hope all goes well, and good luck to my babe!! :)

The Last Supper....

Last night Jerian planned a little going away party for James. We went to the bowling alley here in Tree-town and had us a pretty good meal and then bowled BOYS against GIRLS!! And you will never guess who won...... That's right us GIRLS!! We kicked a$$!

 

Me & Hoffa

Miss & Newt

 

Chrisy Poo & Sue

Bucket & Jody

 

Jo & Spur

 

Toad Frog & Nena

 

We have had lots of fun and made lots of memories with all of these guys. We will miss all of them for sure!!

 

Thanks for planning such a fun night Miss Jerian!!

OMG!!

So last night we went to James' parents house to put some stabilizer in the 110. Well I have NEVER driven a motor bike and have been wanting to try it all summer but always had shorts on or I'd get too scared. Well last night I thought I better give it a lil test ride and it was totally AWESOME!! It was way easier than I thought and I have never laughed so hard in my life!! I was having a BLAST!! I shouldn't of waited til now to try it, I rode it around last night more than Kobe. :)

 

 

Next step.... the HARLEY!! :) LoL

Conference Weekend.....

James was scheduled to work Conference wknd... But because we will be moving we decided he should take the weekend off so we could ENJOY one last camping trip with all our peeps... We went up Logan Canyon to the Sinks and it was BEAUTIFUL!! It was a little cold, but we had us a good ole "KC fire" to keep us warm...

 

We went on an awesome hike, ate lots of good food, listened to conference... The boys got to shoot guns, do a little hunting and the best part was just being with our friends!

 

Maddi wasn't to thrilled about coming with us, so she brought Kami along to make hanging with us a little more bearable... I think they had fun, they played lots of PHASE 10 :)

And here is my most handsome lil man!! He LOVES being outside, LOVES hanging out with SHAY and LOVES BUCKET!! So I think he had an AWESOME weekend!! ;)

 

One last KC fire :)

It was a perfect weekend!! :) We have had so much fun going camping over the years and we will for sure miss our camping trips... But I am grateful for the memories we have made and I am especially grateful for all the friendships.

 

 

CrAzY BuT ExCiTiNg BuSinEsS!!

So as I posted below we just signed the papers to buy our little house in Garland.... So for most of you, you will think this is the MOST CRAZY business EVER!!

As many of you know we had been wanting to move to ARIZONA a few years ago but the job just never came through... While we were doing the paper work for our loan we were having a hard time getting things to go through so James applied for the job in AZ again and GUESS WHAT??? He got the job!! :) :)

 

They offered him the job and gave us a few days to think about it, so after talking it over with our lil family and saying LOTS of prayers... We decided to take the job!! :) I know it sounds so crazy to buy a house 1 week and the next week take a job out of state... But I/we have never felt so good about things and it just feels so right!!

 

So of course we have mixed emotions... We are super excited for the new adventure, but sad to leave all we have ever known and we will miss our family & friends. But over all we feel BLESSED!!

 

This week as James is finishing his 2 weeks @ Malt-O-Meal they had a big meeting yesterday and are changing things there... They are going to be doing a layoff, not matching their 401K any more, and taking away their yearly bonus.... So again we feel BLESSED!! and feel like this job opportunity came at a perfect time!! I have always said everything happens for a reason.....

 

So James will be heading to AZ on the 25th and will start his new job with Nucor in Kingman, AZ on Monday the 28th. The kids and I are gonna stay here and finish up the school year.

 

Here's to a fresh start and a NEW adventure!!

B.R. FOOTBALL

 

So another year has come and gone.... This year the football season seemed so short!! And I am finally starting to understand the game a little better so I was kind of sad to see it end! Not to mention my boy did AWESOME!!

 

I never got any of my own pics, so I stole these and they are way better than any I would of gotten... Thanks Coach Andy! :)

 

Here's Maddi, Shay and Kami holding up the banner I painted for the boys @ half time!! LET'S GO BEARS!!

I am so proud of my boy he did so awesome!

I LOVE YOU P'DAWG!!

 

Thanks to all our coach's for another great year!!
