Here is my little baker making cookies for the family. These were the cutest pictures, I just had to put them on our blog.

I thought I would do a quick post and update all of our friends and family on our current situation. I have no way to download any pictures, so you will just have to hear from me. After a nice, long vacation in Utah, we headed up to Spokane, Washington to join Scot once again. We have been living in an extended stay and are very, very sick of it. Four of us in a one room hotel room for a total of 37 days. I believe it is a form of torture that we devised for ourselves somehow. We have found a home that we are excited about and are just waiting to close. We are thrilled about the idea of having a wash room (instead of a wash closet), a pantry and a 3-car garage. Braxton and Michael think it is great that it has a dog door. It needs a little work that we will be taking care of, but it helped to get a good deal on it, that and the economy helped a little. The boys want their toys back and I am looking forward to being settled once again. The baby and tummy are growing lots now. I am sorely disappointed that we have not been able to find out what we are having. We are going to wait to do the ultrasound until we actually have insurance. We do feel quite blessed to have found a home, that Scot has a good job (by the way, he is enjoying being an Anesthetist) and that we are safe and together again. We are glad to be expanding our family and we think we are really going to like it here in Spokane. We are now just waiting for some Spring weather, just like all of you.

We are moving! Currently the boys are in Utah with their grandparents and we are packing up like crazy and trying to get ready to make the long drive. We have loved our stay in Virginia and are going to miss our friends, our Ward and all the fun times and memories we created here. We want to thank everyone for their love, support and friendship. We will miss you Virginia.

Our family just went on the best mini-vacation ever! Scot has been super busy with school, but we were able to take two days and go to the Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg. Here they have a huge indoor waterpark. We had an absolute blast and hated to leave.

They kept the water at 87 degrees and the temperature at 84 degrees and it was so great to play in our swimsuits in the middle of winter. Braxton and Michael had no fears and went on all the water slides. They loved all the tube rides with Mom and Dad. I thought they were pretty fast, but nothing scared those boys. They would even go backwards down some of them. They loved the wave pool and lazy river and were able to do everything with us. It really made for a fun vacation to be so involved with their activities. It did make us realize how out of shape we were though. It is impossible to keep up with two little boys who get out of the pool and are up the stairs to the top of the slide and you are barely half-way up, lugging a huge tube and completely out of breath. What a fun time to run all around with them and see their excitement with every slide and water toy.

Braxton and Michael went on every slide but one in the waterpark.

This was a huge bucket of water that would dump periodically. The water force was pretty strong, it would take the boys' swim trunks down.

So...what are we up to now? The boys are exhausting their play on all of their Christmas toys. They are back to being super silly, and both entertaining and wearing their mother out. We have put away all the Christmas, the fun visitors are all gone, chores are back in force, and poor Dad is consumed with studying for his boards. I think we need a vacation already.

I wish they would stay this way, it would be so much quieter. I swear they did this to themselves, I had nothing to do with it.
