Green Doggie!

Cookie turned green while helping us mow the lawn. Miki and I thought it was sooo funny! He would follow the lawn mower around and the grass was a little wet. We had a good laugh and thank goodness he came clean with a bath!

Bath time Fun!

Here is my favorite part of our new home!! I love having a piano! Chad went to the music store and bought me some books so I could begin learning a little. I have now moved on from only knowing how to play Peter Piper to some other fun songs! I was so excited to have it here that after the piano movers left a few tears came out. I now subject the family to mini recitals to show off the songs that I am learning. Jaidon is having fun learning a little too!

Living in St. Joe

We are offically living in St Joe. We were able to close on the new house with no issues on April 5th. Thank goodness to because we loaded the moving truck up and Chad's brother and the kids hung out at the new house while we signed the papers! I am enjoying being up here more and more each day. We really loved Lees Summit so it was hard to leave it. The kids have had to make the most adjustments,but I think they have adjusted well. I told Chad that it is much easier to move when they are 2 and all they need is their toys to be happy. Miki had the hardest time leaving all her friends at school but she has quickly made new ones. She is one of 16 students in her class at school...yes it is a much smaller school! I think church was the biggest adjustment for her, she is the only Valiant 9 in the ward so she is in with the Valiant 10...only three of them! She was so used to having so many that were around her age and all such sweet friends. Good thing we are still close! Jaidon is looking forward to summer school. In June he will get to go to summer school and have a blast. It is a great program where they get to play -even learn- for a month in the summer. He is so excited to start school. So that means mom will be home all day with just Chase!! I am sure I will be busy! I think that Chad is enjoying it the most being closer to work. We are deffintly seeing alot more of him, which we love! Jaidon has loved having alot more time helping Dad out.
I will add some pictures when I get my camera back! Chad stole and took it with him to Utah for his sisters wedding! Chad, Miki, and Jaidon are having a blast with family while I still try to get this house put together :) I have played a little too!

THE NEW HOUSE IN ST. JOE

This is the new home we found in St. Joseph, MO. It has been a stressful process since we had come to an offer agreement on another house and as we were signing the papers they accepted another offer and we were out of luck. We are happy in the end with finding this home, but the process can be a killer on the nerves. We will hopefully be in by the first week in April since the buyers of our house have no respect for school ending in a a few weeks later. Miki will survive, but it is hard to leave friends right before school gets out.
