summer is over

So after spending most of the summer trying to move, (it hasn't happened yet, urg) we decided it was time to stop saying after the move we will... and start saying, lets go, lets have some fun. It started out with the dinosaur park in Ogden, followed by ice cream, the air force museum, dinner with Grammy, and school shopping. That was the first day of this adventure. Next we headed to Bear Lake for 2 days with Nathan's sister. All three girls loved the beach, but JJ didn't like the water. We then got these awesome passes that let us go to Trafalga and Seven Peaks as often as we want. We got the passes late enough that we only got to go to seven peaks once, but we have been to Trafalga for lazer tag more nights than not since we got them. Avi and Dai are awesome at it and JJ loves to just watch for her family as we play.

School, what crazyness. Since we have been so up in the air on where we are moving to, we finally had to decide where to put Avi in school. We finally decided that since things were so up in the air on the house, we were going to keep her at the school where we live now (still). The first day of school, we found out that Avi had been accepted to the new charter school that we had applied for. It wasn't starting for another week though, so I kept her in school at the other school for a week, then we transferred her over to the charter school. She says she likes it, and I hope that it is being good for her. It is so new that the day before school started they were still doing construction on it.

Dailynn is just Dailynn. She is cute, fun, stubborn, crazy, and just Dailynn. I feel bad because I have been so wrapped up in other things that she has been pushed to the side for a little while, but that is changing now.

JJ has decided that walking is awesome. She is the funniest girl though. When she walks, she feels that she has to carry something with her. I can understand that, but why does she pick the absolutely heaviest thing in the house to carry? Avi has a doll that is somewhat heavy, and she loves to walk with it, but if she holds it in front of her it makes her lean forward, so after 2 steps she throws it over her shoulder to get balanced again. The laws of physics aren't understood by 10 mo olds and she falls flat on her bottom as soon as the doll hits her back. Wanting to be walking she stands again with the doll and continues the same process. She has gained so much balance, so she can cruise around the house so fast.

Now for the stuff I have been doing. The basement here has been remodeled and in that remodel I have been assigned the painting. I swear I have been painting for a month. We finally got the contractor out of here, and I have been painting every spare minute that I have had. Last night Nathan and I finished the last of the painting at about 11 pm so that carpet could come in first thing this morning. After a few hours of running errands, and just hanging out, I finally have the basement back!!!!! I think the most excited person is JJ though. She has been so mad at us when we wouldn't let her go down stairs. Today she just ran circles around down there and had a huge smile on her face the whole time.

Pictures will be coming soon, I just don't have them on the comp yet, but I just wanted to get all this down before I forgot it all.
