Good and current news for us!!!

Well, first of all we ARE MOVING!! (surprise surprise right?)  But this time we are actually exited.  We have had plans for a while for Rye to attend a certain trade school, but since his current job is so wonderful we decided we would wait out the economy until heading off.  BUT about a month ago Rye came to me and told me he wanted to go to real school (college)  He thought I would be stressed but I was SOOOO relieved.  So, were heading off to SUU!!  To go to school.  When Rye first went to SUU, he wanted to get an engineering degree, but has now narrowed it down to a mechanical engineering. I am so exited for him, he is going to be so good at it, and he cruises around the Internet and gets so exited about his future.  Luckily we are in a good situation to pursue it all.  It took us four years to figure out that this was the right thing for us but at least we did!!!

Sometimes it takes living how you know you don't want to live to realize how you want to live....That's like my new mato, haha!  What we want is to attend church every week as a family,   and for Rye to spend all the time he possibly can with his boys, and we will be good. We know our kids will need all the help in this life they can get from us. 

My mom and dad challenged our entire family to read the book of Mormon in  100 days, there is a schedule, and we have LOVED it.  It came at the perfect time for us.  We feel like we have all our geese in line and our priorities strait and are ready for life. 

It has been a little stressful deciding to leave his Current job. He just got two raises and the insurance is the bomb. But  he is a mechanic on drills and shovels.  Which being a mechanic can be a dime a dozen job but luckily he is a mechanic on some of the biggest equipment in the world.   He has worked on the biggest shovel in the world (it's like a loader)  So, that makes him kinda special.  He got looking right away for jobs in cedar, like a college boy job.  He got wind from a family member that the iron mine there might be hiring, so he made some calls.  The next day he got a call!!!!  When we went home they gave him an interview and job offer. His offer was much better then we imagined, especially for Southern Utah.  Not to mention his schedule is perfect for school, and we are not much worse off at all then if we kept his good job.  We are so blessed and so lucky I think.

Before we went home we drove 4 hours to get our temple interview (wont miss that)  so we could go with my family when we went home.  And the stake president gave us the best advice about our situation. He pretty much said.  The lord wants us to be smart and educated and if we obtain this in a righteous manner then he will find a way and help you get there!  So there you have it! 

Wish us luck!!
Have I mentioned how bad I hate to move =)

Holden:

He is so special...

He says Thomas S. Monsons name, Thomas Ms. Mcmuffin, in his prayers.  He doesn't have a clue it's wrong.

Knox kept biting him, bad!  and so we finally told Holden to punch him in the face if he did it again....I know that sounds bad, but if Holden didn't do it some other kid was going to. Holden  is to nice though he still hasn't hurt Knox back.

He gets everything so confused shoulders are Knuckles and elbows are L Bones and knees are L Bones to!

He wants to grow up and be a Christmas elf.  Before Christmas I was wrapping presents and he was in the hall way banging on the door crying saying he WAS a Christmas elf for wrapping presents!

He loves to wrestle and gets to start this coming fall.

Holden hates when people are mean.  He always has to yell at My siblings "Sahde (Slade) it's be nice day!"  That's his defense against everything, It's be nice day.

Knox:
Ohhhh.....Knox.  He is still confusing even to his mother.
Everyone tells me I need to have a new baby because I got jipped and gave birth to a 70 year old man, and that is exactly what he is!  It's funny!
He has gone 4 days with no Binky!! He has been so fussy and stressed out and we deiced he hasn't realized we stole his binkys.
He is finally getting some different teeth.
He says some words now.
He is VERY smart.  He figures out everything, and is very coordinated.  He can do all the wrestling moves Holden can.
He loves to play with Holden and when Holden isn't playing with him he gets so mad and wrecks Holden's toys and lays down and kicks Holden while Holden is trying to play.
He loves babies and animals.  It is so sweet.  Rikki's little girl Nixon is his size and age and he was getting so mad because he wanted to hold her.
He loves to sing, but has the deepest voice.

We are so lucky to have these boys!
By the way this  is my 100th post!.....cool
