Things we have been doing in Idaho





Kassie (Janelle's youngest)
Jared
Janelle's Birthday
Kassie with Curtis. She loves him, but he is as big as she is.
Papa reading stories to his grandkids.
Abby playing outside.
Abby in the snow in her skirt. I tried to tell her that it was not a good idea.
Jared playing out side.
Abby realizing that I am right and a skirt is not the best idea. She went back inside.
Jared pushing his truck all over the place. Jared's truck with rocks in it. He would pick them up and drop them off at the other end of the yard. He did this for about two hours.
Jared going to get more rocks.
Jared decided this would be a better way to move the rock. Don't worry he made sure he put on his seatbelt.

Spring Break

Last weekend was Mark's final Spring Break. He is graduating and done with school. Since we are doing this long distance thing and it being the last Spring Break every we thought we would do something fun. With our budget in mind we splurged and stayed in Salt Lake for a few days. Here are some pictures of the excitment.




















Mark and Jared at Disney on Ice. I cannot believe how much they look alike.




















Abby at Disney on Ice. She loved every minute of it. We went to the princess one.




















Jared shopping with me at Gateway. Yes, he has on a leash. He wanted to be a dog that day. His dog name is Shaggy. It makes life really easy for me because I don't have a three year old running around. We both win when he wants to play puppy.




















Abby showing off her big purchase. She is all girl and loves to shop. She will be a very interesting teenager.
Here is a picture of Curtis. He is getting so big. He is moble now. He rolls from one end of the room to the other. The other day I heard him cry so I went to pick him up. I couldn't see him. He rolled under the couch.

Matchbox 20

Last week Mark and I went to the Matchbox 20 concert. I have loved this band for 10 years and Mark was great to come with me. They were there with Alanis Morriset. It was a really fun night. Here are some pictures.








It was so much fun. I will put a video on it. Sorry all this is from my phone again. For who the band is I thought they put on a really good concert.

Living in Idaho

Sorry I have not been great at updating our blog. Since my last post we decided to move to Idaho. We are in the process of selling our house and it was too much with three kids in one room. Mark stayed in Utah to work and finish school. Yes, we are still happy and married. The week gets a little long but he comes up on weekend. It makes for a long commute but we hope our house will sell faster this way. Also, it is Mark's last bit of school so he is glad to have all week just to focus on school. He is doing so much better with us gone.

The kids love it here. We are living in my parents basement. It is about three times the space of our house. Abby told me that it is like a gym. We are going back to Utah tomorrow and Abby doesn't want to go back. Jared has so much fun running and playing. They both love to feed the horses and go to my parents office. They think it is great that they get to see Grandma and PaPa everyday. Curtis is getting use to my parents and is starting to recognize them.

Here are some pictures of the fun we have been having.
Jared got himself dressed to feed the horses. When I informed him that he was missing his pants he said that horses like underware. He went out to feed the horses dressed just like this. It was about 20 degrees outside.
















This is Millie. She is Janelle's third. Abby and Jared get to see their cousins here all the time. They have enjoyed it because they don't get to see them that often.






My mom fixed Abby's hair last night. She put braids all over it. Abby loves the curly hair.



Here is my parents house that we are staying in. It gives us A LOT more room.
I will do better with updating. Sorry the pictures are not that great. I took them with my phone.
