Quick review since March!!!

So its been a while.... Its good to be back.. Here is a quick over view because lets be honest a lot has happened since march!

Brecken finished kindergarten and started first grade in Fresno.  Addi started and stopped preschool, sad day for everyone.  She loved it but that's what happens when you move.

We had a super lazy summer but really enjoyed the water park with all of friends for one last summer.  It was a blast and the kids loved it and never got sick of it.

Our big thing was moving to ELKO!!!!  We absolutely love it here.  We miss all of our friends in Fresno but this place is a much better fit for our little family.  We live literally minutes from camping and just a few hours away from family, which we have truly missed while we were in California.  We had some friends come visit and they couldn't believe how much we love being away from everything.

Fresno was a little rough for us and not our thing.  We didn't live in a great part of town and our cars kept getting broke into, and we caught a guy trying to break into our house this summer...oh the joys...Garrett worked long hours and wasn't really enjoying his position in fresno compared to what he is doing here in Elko.  The commute is rough here but garrett is sooooo much happier here so we'll take it.

We bought our first home here in Elko and learning that having a house definitely has its benefits....starting with a yard!  Can you say life changing???  I can kick the kids outside when they are driving me nuts and koop throws a big ole fit when he has to come in....  He likes his dirt and is happy for hours in it.  One of the first things i'm putting in this summer is a sandbox just for that little monkey!  The other thing we are finding out is that having a house especially a house that isn't new is that house projects and upkeep can be quite pricey! It is nice seeing a difference and know that we are just adding equity to the house so it will all come back around.

We had a little surprise happen in may when we were completely surprised to find out that the fourth installment of our baby midgets was on the way.  I miscarry every other pregnancy and I thought that this would happen but it didn't and although we were completely surprised we feel so blessed to have our little guy join us on Jan 6, 2014... More of him to come later!!! Here is the end of the ramble and we will get some real posts going on here.  Here are some pictures from 2013.  Enjoy!!!!
