Where'd all this come from?
You never know how much junk you have until you move. We've been married almost 10 years and have moved 9 times - how do we still have so much stuff!? Kids toys, clothes to save, shoes, skinny jeans I hope to fit in someday, boxes I hope to unpack sometime, books I want to read, books I should read but haven't, and all the stuff I think we can't live without. Why do we keep so much stuff?
Since Levi has been born - 9.5 months ago - we have moved 3 times. It is time to stop. And stop we have... we have finally made it to where we want to be. We left our new friends in Pavillion WY and parked ourselves in Powell WY where we hope to stay for the rest of our lives. Due to sad and happy circumstances - Trav was able to accept his dream job at the Powell Hospital. Sad - b/c friends of ours left so the job opened up. Happy - b/c we are home.
When we moved to Pavillion - we had a wood burning stove, so we bought a semi-load of wood. Ya, what were we thinking? We we were trying to plan ahead. We thought we weren't going to move for a couple of years and a semi-load would last us about that amount of time. Well our plans weren't the Lord's plan and we had to cut and load and move that semi-load of wood. Again... what were we thinking? Thankfully our smart and wonderful home teacher and his family used their equipment and talents to help us load it up after we'd cut the logs into 8 ft sections. Now our semi-load of wood resides with the run-down machinery out in my dad's fields... and hopefully someday we will have another wood burning stove!
It all started with making a circle out of tape for our new marble game and this is how it ended up. And oh, yes - it hurt coming off.
Levi is a hoot. He finally mastered crawling and is a little shadow following me around the house and clinging to my leg if I ignore him for too long. I now sweep my floors more in one day than I used to in a month. He is a vacuum and will eat whatever he gets his little fingers on.
He can sing 'uh, oh' whenever he drops something and growls at you just for fun. He also loves to grab Leah's hair and Toran's nose - b/c their smart enough to put in arm's reach. He's got a mouthful of teeth and awesome spikey blonde hair that I wouldn't trade for anything.

Our girls: what can I say? Their time after school consists of ponies, kitties, and a lot of make-believe. Mikayla (holding her horse) will tell Leah (who has her pony), "Leah say this: 'Sister, fly over here! Sister, use your magic" and Leah will repeat exactly what Mikayla said while flying her pony. Our cats Stripey and Midnight are loved and very spoiled by the girls. Those cats are dragged, thrown, dropped, smashed, and squeezed BUT keep coming back for more. We love our kitties.
