OK finally I have gotten a chance to update our blog!! We have finally made the move to Gilbert and I feel like we are for the most part unpacked and settled. Wow, I sure hope we don't have to move for a very very long time. Thank you for those who helped us move or help renovate the house in the 110 degree weather. And why is it that people always move in the hottest part of the year? Anyways, Alan is absolutely amazing for all of the work that he put into the house, of course for those who helped especially, Dal and Dallin, painting the whole inside with a few accent walls, all new base boards, new carpet through out the house, and looks amazing. We fill like this is our home and where are kids are going to grow up and go to school.


The boys have adjusted quite well and are growing so quickly. Kaden loves that he can go swimming when he wants and baby Jack is still not sure if he likes the water, but I know he will very soon. Kaden wears a little wetsuit with a floating device in it and jumps in and swims all over the pool. He is so funny!!! He looks like a little retriever doggy paddling all over the pool refusing to let go of the diving rings that are in his right and left hand. He is such a fun kid!!

Are ward is so warm and loving minus about hundred kids and for the first time in three years I was the only one in the halls during sacrament. It was funny walking in and feeling the spot light on us and I leaned over to Alan and told him to be ready to talk in a few weeks. Everyone was wonderful and immediately we felt like this was home. I am very anxious to see what my calling will be here in this ward, hopefully something in young women's.


We recently joined Lifetime Fitness, which is conveniently right down the street and we absolutely LOVE it. The child center is amazing with all the toys and fun activities they provide. The girls there love Kaden and he loves all the fun toys. Jackson doesn't really care as long as someone is holding him. I am able to try to get back into shape and the kids are having fun and interacting with other kids, what a win win situation.


So everyone that knows me knew that I use to swim and that sort of installed the love for working out and staying fit. For the longest time I have always wanted to see if I can get back into shape and participate in a sprint triathlon. The last three years I haven't had an opportunity to really commit towards that goal. but know I have been doing a little running, I love the cycling classes, and I even jumped in the pool and tried to swim. Yeah I couldn't even do a 50 yard free without feeling like I was going to drown. But over the last couple of weeks I have been getting stronger and so I did it!! I signed up for my first Spring triathlon on September, 6 out in Anthem. I am so nervous but so excited even if I am crawling across the finish line dead last at least I did it! I may be crazy but I just figured don't have enough to do during the day:) So if anyone has any tips or advice for me, PLEASE let me know!

So that's all for right now. We are so thankful for what the Lord has provided us with and for what is in store.
