Pictures from Utah trip

Cherry Hill with Aunt Debbie. Turned out to be so much fun, Owen loved both of the kiddie water slides, he could not get enough. He was the smallest kid on the bigger slide and did not like having to wait his turn, so funny.

Trying to beat the heat of a hot July day in Vegas!

The last month

Finally, a new post! Here is what has happened in the past month or so...
We went to Utah for a good friends wedding and to visit with the fam. Owen and I stayed for a week to beat the Vegas heat for a while before our move. Jared stayed for the weekend and then had to come back to work. My mom drove back with Owen and to come and help us pack up to move to our temporary house while we continue to look for a house to buy. Thank goodness my Mom came because I was really really sick. I became pretty sick just before leaving Utah and then the worst of came once we returned. Without my mom we would have never been able to make the move. Things are going better now but unless somehow I forget how sick I have been we might end up staying a family of Four plus penny and future dogs. Anyway we are still on the house hunt and can't wait to just be settled in somewhere. I will try and post some pics soon.

Happy Birthday America! and an Update on Us

This 4th of July we spent the majority of the day house hunting. We did squeeze in a bar b q and fireworks at the end of the day. Fortunately there were tons of great firework shows by our house. Owen liked the fireworks but LOVED the sparklers we bought. Each time one would burn out he would sign and yell "MORE"! It was really cute and funny.
Finding a house to buy has been one of the reasons we have been so so busy lately. Our current landlord refuses to let us go on a month to month lease so we are getting booted at the end of July! and we don't want to rent anymore. So we just started packing and are hoping to be able to find a house really soon. I don't think we will be able to get into one soon enough to be able to prevent us from moving twice but we are sure trying.
Other things keeping us busy....
We celebrated our 4th anniversary on June 30th. Jared turned 30 on June 28th! Happy Birthday, we still love you even though your getting old! Jared has been super busy with work, he was out of town in Alabama with his boss getting new clients for his law firm. Being out of town did not help with our house hunting!!! He also had to prepare for his first jury trial which was last Thursday. Thank goodness its over now and YEAH! he won. We are so proud of his hard work. He did the whole trial alone and went against two attorneys that have been practicing for more than 20 years each.
Now lets get back to finding a place to live! I have stayed busy with the house hunt and have been really really sick. We just found out we are expecting a baby in February, that explains the sickness.
Owen has been a trooper looking at houses with us, he loves to run around all the empty places we have been looking at. He is growing like a weed and learning new words all the time. We think we have finally broken his habit of jamming food i.e. cheetos, raisins, apples or crayon tips up his nose and in his ear, time will tell. He pooped in the potty twice! Yeah! but has never wanted to do it again. He does pee in the potty about once a day so he is thinking about being potty trained. We are not going to get serious until we move and get settled. Owen has also acquired a new chore to help with penny. He feeds penny every day and now its his job to let her outside in the morning so she can do her business. I think he mostly just likes opening and closing the door.
Well thats enough typing for me, hopefully I can update on a more regular basis...as soon as the sickness goes away.

Busy Busy

We have been really busy lately so I have not been blogging much. I will try to post more soon but in the meantime there are some really cute pictures of Owen on Megans blog so... Grandma's and anyone else if you need so see some new pics check out the link "Chasing all our crazy dreams".

Not enough pictures!

During Debbie's visit we did not take enough pictures. I can not believe that we did not get one of the two of us together! Maybe next time.
