We Have a Renter!

So I guess we better get moving on making our decisions....
I called someone up to give me a bid to trim our apple tree in the backyard and mentioned we wanted to make it safe so we couldn't get sued if a branch broke and hit one of our renters in the head. The guy that bidding asked if we were going to be renting. He asked if he could take a look. After we walked through he asked if he could bring his wife by to take a look, so two days later him and his wife returned. She loved it! So they returned on Monday and signed a rental agreement with Andy and I. We are to be out by the first of June so they can move in. We currently have no idea where we will be going but I do know it will be in the Salt Lake area. We are trying to purchase a second home where prices are so cheap right now. Some are in Tooele so we could end up there. That is all I know for know. Hopefully in the next week or so we might know more. If not then we could be needing to stay with someone while we figure it out. We figured we couldn't pass up having a renter. People usually don't "fall into your lap" like that.

Hello Everyone

So here we are the 25th of March and I am watching the snow fall. I guess that is what happens in Utah during the Spring. So far I am okay with it cause softball hasn't started so it can rain all it wants. We are ALL waiting for baseball to start. Brandon has been saving himself for baseball all year. I think he is more excited then me. I hope we are able to get him signed up somewhere. In case you don't know or haven't heard...we are moving so Salt Lake, or at least somewhere in the valley, when school gets out. We have been doing a lot of little stuff to the house to make it look nice so we can rent it out. I don't know much of the details right now, as we are not sure how long the whole process is going to take and we don't want it to be too soon. That is why I am not sure if we will be doing baseball this year. I did call down there and they have some leagues that start in the summer too so we will definetly get him in one of those. I was hoping to get him in, what they call the Pony League. It is more involved I think so he would have learned more. But anything is better than nothing. Next year we will put him in that one for sure. As for me...I don't know what I will be doing. It might be time for me to stop playing and just focus more on him. If I happen to find some team to play on that would be awesome but I will be okay if I don't (At least I think). I will keep you all posted as details come in. I have to admit...I am a little nervous about moving. I have gotten REALLY comfortable up here in Logan. I know that it will all work out, but I am still nervous. I am also very excited at the same time. It is weird to think that I could actually have Andy home for more than a couple hours here and there and one day a week. I just hope everything works out. I am secretly hoping I am able to quit working all together, that would take care of a lot of my worries in moving. But we will have to see what happens there. I guess I will stop now, like I said I will keep you posted. Until then....GO BRAVES!!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

To "celebrate" Dr. Seuss's birthday Brandon's school has crazy hair day. I had no idea what to do since he doesn't have much hair to make crazy. My friend Trina offered up some hair color spray. I told Brandon that was what we were going to do so he went to town coming up with an idea of how he wanted to spray it...


When he woke up this morning we went to town working on his masterpiece....






As you can see, he decided to do all three color polka dots instead of just green on top and orange on the bottom. I think it turned out pretty cool, if I don't say myself. Next year after Halloween I am definetly snatching me up some colored spray so I don't even have to worry about it when Crazy Hair Day rolls around again. Thanks Trina for hooking us up.

Brandon is 7 continued

So to finish up Brandon's birthday we spent the night home as a family. We had pizza with cinnamon rolls (like they do at school) and opened a couple presents and watched Megamind (for the 5th time...at least). Here are some picutres from the evening....enjoy!





Oh yes, how could I forget...he lost his first tooth at school that day too. It was the highlight of his day. He made the box for the tooth fairy to "deposit" his money into. He wrote the tooth fairy a letter asking her to leave the tooth, not sure what happened to it though. I didn't get a picture of it before she took it I guess.
We also went to school and gave some cupcakes to his classmates. They were bright colored with Oreo sprinkles. I should have taken the picture before we gave them all away, but oh well. Andy and Brandon also went outside and built a "seven layer snowman" (Andy's idea). Andy was too cold to stay outside and build an actual snowman...he has shorts on.
