One month update

I cannot believe how incredibly lucky I am to have the family and friends that I have.  We were granted a good week with my mom in town taking care of us, then Jases parents.  Kendyl misses having pals to play with and have sleepovers in her room.  My neighbors here are amazing and are always quick to make sure im still sane in the blue house. 

Easton (Figaro as Kendyl is adament his name is) has colic or something like that.  He may have a milk allergy, but it has not been "diagnosed" but for the mean time im off dairy.  Oh how I miss my morning cereal!  All we know is he likes to cry.  Other than the crying, we love the little guy and we think he is so cute and a perfect fit into our family!  Kendyl loves the heck out of him and loves to give him hugs and kisses.  She also loves to wake him up, because I guess having a quiet house is not up her alley.  Me on the other hand, I feel like I get a fresh breath when its quiet....unless its too quiet, then I know miss bug is into something she isn't supposed to be.

I hate to admit but Kendyl has been watching a little more tv than I would like her to.  Heck, I am too.  Something to help drain the crying noise, and the nonstop feedings!  Im lucky to get a shower.  I struggle during quiet time if i should shower, clean, rest, do dishes, wash clothes, etc.  Im lucky to get one chore done a day, whether its a load or two of laundry to getting us breakfast lunch and dinner at a decent time.  Seriously, how people have twins or more than 2 kids or kids super super close in age, I have no idea.  Maybe Im missing to secret.  If you have it, pass it this way. 

Easton is a little piggy and weighs in at 10 lbs 3 oz at his 1 month check. I have no idea what percentile that is because my doc said as long as its going up thats all i really care about.  I do know its somewhere around 50%tile.  I love her pediatrician.

We were also able to get our pictures taken by the INCREDIBLE Renee Jacobsen Photography.  She did such an amazing job.  Money well spent!  Seriously Florida friends, get on her! 

Oh and....its time to say goodbye to our blue smurf house.  Im a little sad to say goodbye.  Im a lot happy toget more space.  Kendyl HATES the idea of leaving the blue house and wants nothing to do with it.  As bad as this house sticks out as a sore thumb, I secretly hope they never paint it back to a color that isn't so....out there. 

Jase and I are doing great.  He is busy working and hunting.  Im busy being a mom.  I just signed up for the Disney Princess Half Marathon at Disney World.  I am beyond excited.  I chose my princess to be Ariel.  Now if I can only find the time to train!  :)

Below are just 4 of our pictures....

 

 

Good Bye Idaho

We have been oacking like wild indians trying to get out of Idaho. We have no tv, couch, plates, toys and Kendyl is having fun sitting on boxes throughout the house. The weather has been so nice which is very odd for idaho. We are expected to get rain on actual moving day :(

We decided to take half the day off and say a friendly hasta la bye bye Idaho! We spent it going to Idaho Falls and picking up bugs Easter toys, then heading to the Zoo! Tyson and Shawney know a lady that is the penguin keeper at the zoo and they got to invite us along for the day!

Kendyl was so scared of the penguin but by the end I think she warmed up to it. I mean we have been watching Mr. Poppers Penguins the last couple days since it was the only movie that didn't get packed. Seriously this little penguin was SO sweet and she loved to walk us around the park!

We also went on our last hoorah to Kiwi Loco (frozen yogurt) with the neighbors. It has become a tradition that every tuesday night we go there since it is buy 1 get 1 free! I almost cried walking out of there for the very last time!

We are happy to annouce we will be living right across from City Creek in Salt Lake city for the next couple months. Weird to say that we might miss this boring little town, or more the friends we have made here. Well we will be friends forever right!?

Now pray the rain doesnt hit and we can make it out of here on time!

Why we move SO much

So many of you are aware we move about every 6 months or so. What many of you are unaware of is why. No were not gypsys and no we don't move for the heck of it. It is actually for Jases job/School. He is employed for the LDS church in their ranches. This is a company called AgReserves. He is on an internship for the management training program. They send him to school and then during his "break" semester they send us on an internship. So we move around the country going to different ranches while Jase plays cowboy. (wouldn't it be cool if i was an indian!? jk)
Some facts about these ranches.... The Florida ranch is Called Deseret Cattle and Citrus. It is one of the largest (if not already) cow calf operations in the United States. The ranch is just shy of 300,000 acres. The citrus grove there goes to the orange juice we drink everyday. In fact I don't know if it is true or not but i hear that every time you drink orange juice then your getting some oranges from this very ranch.
So then the next question is How or Why did Jase get into this...he is SO lucky to have such an opportunity. here is the answer:
The day Jase got home from his Mission, he went straight up to the Utah ranch (kinda by Morgan) and up there we guided Elder Holland around. Elder Holland called him into his office to bring him his walking stick he left behind. (Imagine Jase going through security with a giant stick!) There he told Jase he knows the President and gave him his number and gave jase a blessing. Not a few days later this very president called Jase and asked to sit fown and have a meeting with him. Jase thought he was nuts...who would pay for school, housing, moving, and want him to be a manager of these ranches? So it honestly took Jase a long time to decide he wanted to do it. Sounds crazy right? So thats the story.
Right after we got married we moved to Florida, then to BYU-I for school, then to Elberta Utah to the dairy farm, now back to BYU-I. Next we go to Kansas, then back to BYU-I. As of plans for now we will end up back in Florida for 2 years. Then Jase with have to go to Texas A&M to get his masters and work on the King Ranch.
To get a little view of the Florida ranch check out the video on youtube. For some reason I am a titch computer illiterate. I do know how to copy and paste but for some reason I can't for this website . So anway it is posted somewhere either before or after this post. Or just search for Deseret Cattle and Citrus in youtube and it should be the first video.

Well so thats our lives and we have SO much fun doing it. The people on these ranches are unreal....they are truly amazing and we are so greatful for them. They have really made living across the country easier.
