Memories we Make!!: April 2010

So here goes the longest blog I have ever done. So much has been going on I have been really busy and lazy to blog so now I will catch all of you up to speed. Well we bought a house in Manti that is brand new and has everything I wanted. The layout, the yard, and it is in Manti. We first looked at it on Feb. 27 and we started moving in March 26 (on my Birth day! Best birthday present ever!). Now I bet you are saying that we got in super fast which we did but it wasn't just luck there was a big reason everything moved so fast for us. Barclay's got a job in Louisiana and Russell got the great opportunity to go! Russell got to sleep one night in the new house and then he left the next morning. He was so exhausted and plus he was getting sick it was so crazy. Half of our stuff (tools, toys that Keytin doesn't play with any more, camping gear, and other things that I wont need right away or I wouldn't use without Russell) got put in a storage unit the week before we signed just to make it a little easier on us. Then I got a day to move and have Russell help to move as much as we could into the house which most of it ended up in the garage and I have slowly been moving it in. So now I have a brand new house and no Russell but only for a little while. They say the job will last for 4 months but pretty sure it will turn into 6-12 months. The soonest Russell will be able to come home is July 4 which sucks. Keytin and I were planning on flying out one week and seeing Russell and Louisiana but they are working all 7 days so we are going to wait and see if sometime Russell could take somedays off and we could go tour the towns but we are still waiting and seeing how everything is turning out. It has been 2 weeks now that Russell has been gone and let me tell you its not easy having the biggest part of your life all of a sudden gone. Almost every day I catch myself staring at pictures of him and start to tear upor even having a huge break down!! I miss everything about him. Russell and I aren't that good and talking on the phone so our conversations last about ten min. and the whole time we talk about Keytin and what different thing he did that day. It also suck cause Keytin has changed so much he has turned into a sponge and is developing so fast and Russell is missing it. I do send him videos everyday of Keytin and me over the phone so he can still get a little glimpse of what is happening back here but it isn't the same.
I hope I am not giving off the wrong impression cause it is so great that Russell has work and that we are blessed that he can make the money to put us a head so that when he comes back he wont be as stressed about that cause we still have alot to do with the house which includes putting in a fenced in back yard for Mya (our dog) plus sprinklers and finishing the front yard too.
I haven't got pictures yet of our house but they will be coming I promise I just wanted to get all of our furniture in and everything set before showing the kinda finished result. But here are pictures of other thing. They aren't in order SORRY!

Here is Keytin helping me take apart the book shelf. He watched me us the screwdriver and then he had to do it to.

Here is Russell hauling Keytin around on the dolly after getting some of the heaver things out of the old house. Keytin had a ball he didn't want to stop.

Close Up!

Here is Russell getting all of his tools set to leave. Plus we had to buy me all the tools that I would need since Russell would be taking his.

Russell even put my name on all my tools so everyone would know they were mine. How cute is that!!

My parents, Keytin, and me colored Easter eggs (more my mom and me while my dad and Keytin went and watched TV) the yellow one says RDS+MLS and then Keytins green one says if you can't read it I MISS DADDY!! ya I cried over that stupid egg forever!!

So on Easter Sunday our new neighbors the Kirkhams had an Easter egg hunt in there back yard and they invited us it was great. My neighbors are so awesome which is good cause Keytin loves them. Any chance he get to take off without me looking he is running across the street to see them.

Here is Amber and Keytin looking at the paper eggs they had in the ground.

Every holiday that comes up I go outside and color on the cement so here is my lovely drawing of a bunny with his eggs I know I'm an artist.

Here is the family hanging out on the floor since I hadn't go my couches yet.

Here is Keytin at the park at 9:00 AM while it is snowing waiting to hunt for candy. He really could have cared less about the candy he just loved watching all the people and he loved the baseball field.

Look at all that candy that he just walked on by.

Keytin and Me freezing our butts off.

My mom and me with all our eggs supplies having a blast. My mom went nuts and stole all my eggs she just couldn't get enough. JK love you mom!!

THE BEST PARENTS EVER!!!

Since Russell has left my parents have help out so much! My mom is always more then willing to take Keytin for me or just entertain him so I can have a break and my dad is always right there when I have a problem that needs fixing I am so blessed and love them so much. There is no way I could ever do this without them they are amazing and so patient with me and Keytin. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH I can never say it enough!!

He is just some pictures of my parents be awesome and helping me out.

And Keytin has to be right there to watch and soak it all in. Plus he loves my dad so much if I can't calm him down I just hand him off to my dad and he always gets the job done.

And Lorin is great to stop on by and see if there is anything he can do to help. I appreciate it so much. Once again if there is a power tool going Keytin is right there.
