So its been awhile since I have posted on here. Life has just been crazy!! We've been doing lots of really fun things this summer so I'll have to post those pictures in a bit. But our latest news is that we are moving... kind of last minute! We've talked for awhile how it would be so nice to have more space but our lease isn't up until December. So we just randomly one day posted our apartment on craigslist, not expecting anyone to really call on it or want it. Turns out someone called a few days later, saw it, liked it, and wanted to move in asap. We were both shocked! But we said OK since we weren't sure this opportunity would come up again. Bad news was they needed to move in July 11 and we are leaving for a week and half long Utah trip on the 2. So, we have had to completely pack up, move out, and clean before we even leave to go out of town. Talk about stressful! So for the last few days we've packed and then on Saturday, Guy completely moved us by himself into a storage unit. First of all, I don't even know how he did it. I'm talking all 3 of our couches, bookshelves, 2 queen size beds, a million boxes.... oh ya, and we live on the 2nd floor. I am like the worst moving partner ever because I am so weak! Never could do a pull up in elementary school and I still can't! No upper arm strength whatsoever so literally Guy did it all. I just carried down the light stuff!
So it was a long day but we were blessed in many small ways such as the storage place had a free moving truck that we thought was already taken for the day but when we showed up they said we could have it. So we only have to pay $4.72 in gas to get our stuff moved. And there were a few really heavy things (Brayden's dresser, bookshelf, etc) that Guy was pretty sure he could get down but not quite sure how he was going to do it, so we saved those for last and literally right when it was time to take those down the missionaries that live in our complex showed up and asked if they could help. Talk about goood timing! :) So we are all moved out and "camping" in our living room right now! Brayden thinks its the best thing ever! Now its just a matter of finding a new place to live. We've already found a few options. but for now we are homeless! But I'm excited to be out of our apartment for good soon. Yay!! :)
Thought I'd throw a few pictures on here of Brayden. He is still in major "choo choo" phase where he literally makes anything and everything into a train. For example...
Macaroni and Cheese at lunch
All his little people toys
And about a million other things that I never took pictures of like all the alphabet magnets on the fridge, all of mommy and daddy's shoes, legos... basically anything that you can set up in a line becomes a choo choo train around here!
Here's a few bath pics. I couldn't post most of them on here due to the full frontal nudity but here were a few cute ones.
Just relaxin
Blowing bubbles!

Oh my gosh! I can't believe Guy moved all that stuff by himself! Bet he's a little sore.
What's with us and the quick moves? We moved here within a week. I think we might move again soon too. This place isn't quite what we want to be renting.
Are you guys going to rent another place or buy something since the market's so great?
Brayden is too cute making everything into a train! Luke never really got into the train thing because of Hannah I think. He sure loves dinosaurs, lizards and turns everything into a sword. I'd rather him turn things into trains! See ya soon!!!
that train thing is hilarious :-) and that is so exciting about moving!!... once your moved though. i hate the actual process!!!!!! k so im sure youre coming to utah for family and you've got like a schedule... but if your gonna be around orem at all you need to call me and we should all meet for lunch or something!! it would be so fun to see you and meet your hubby and brayden. my number is the same but i dont think weve talked on the phone for like 3 years... its 801-358-8148.
I totally know how you feel. Sam moved us by himself too...When we left Ohio i was pregnant and so no help at all as far as lifting and this time around I helped load the truck from the storage facility and unload it here, but despite not being pregnant anymore, I still wasn't much help, lol. I am finally done unpacking boxes, but I still have a bunch of little things to do to finally settle in completely...moving is sooooo much work. Funny we are both doing it right before the reunion:-) Can't wait to see you...honetly, I am sooo excited!!!
twas great to see yall.. we all need to live closer. Froshi said that if yall are in OR too, he'll move there too... let's do it! jay
Hi allison! I just wanted to tell you that I am NOT pregnant, not yet! I was inquiring about a website for my sister-in-law who is pregnant!!! I would definitely call you so I could tell you through phone so it's a little more personal! Sorry for the disappointment but hopefully it will happen soon!
love the background on your blog! Very cute and very you!. My back hurts just thinking about your move. You seriously need to make sure we are available for the move in this time. :) E was talking about B's train obsession just the other day. Great post.
I LOVE BLOGS! I miss you all so much. Am counting the days till I can hug you all....hope your motel days are coming to an end soon...although sitting by a pool everyday doesnt sound all that bad!
