Thank-You!!!!!!

We have been getting everything back into order! And we are very thankful to our heavenly father for helping us through a hard time. We are also grateful that we will have a new place to live and new vehicles.

Brent and I have to take a deep breath and sigh of relief because we will be moving into a new rental soon. Only two more months of "Stinky Pinky!" Are land lords will be Curt and Cathy Casey. :) They are purchasing some land and a modular (single wide) which will be a big step up from our currant location. Fortunatly I will not be in a panic rush to buy a house now. Which I am truly grateful for. Here are some pictures of the new place. I hope Cathy doesn't mind me posting pictures of our new house. :) (I think paperwork is still in the work.)

Here is also a picture of a house that I saw while house shopping! It's nice to go see what's out here and on the market and prices the houses are going! I loved this Fireplace and built ins in this older house.We are also grateful that we got the insurance money back from the car accident or should I say Truck accident. So, we decided to head out and go shooping for a new vehicle. Yes I know we said we were going to buy a van but we have another thing to be grateful for. My Grandma is going to be donating her van to us so we were able to get something with four wheel drive. WE did have a hard time going at first because Steve and Ruth were going to be in town for the Sanderson Family reunion but we did get to spend some time with them before we left. We all got to tour the Jail where brent works and the girls and I went swimming with their whole crew. We had a good time. Then we left for Green River/Salt Lake. We looked around Green River for a vehicle but we could get anyone to give us a good deal on what we needed so we left the girls with Grandma and went to Salt Lake. The girls had a great time with Grandma Casey she sure has lot's of fun things for them to do. Swimming, sand castle's, music, and more.

We went to the Auto Mall and we found the truck we wanted it was too much money so I wasn't even going to try but the guy wanted us to so I told them that I wasn't going to sit there forever trying to get to a price if they weren't going to go as low I needed it to be. So, the salesman went and got the manager and they came down. (It was the end of the month, the end of a quater, and the end of a day and they had only sold one other vehicle that day. Plus it was a truck most people are not trying to buy something with high gas milage.) So, we got lucky and bought a 2004 Nissan Titan. I love it! Here is brent driving our new truck off the lot.

We also got to go to dinner with LeeAnn and got to see her working at the BYU Bookstore. We drove back to Green River and spent some time with Brent's Parents and returned their Jeep, which we are also grateful that we got to borrow! We are truly grateful for our family and everything that they do for us. Thanks we love you all!

Bar stools!

This is a fun place to play for the girls! Although it kind of looks like they are having trouble getting out of there.

If you do not recognize these Bars stools from visiting us in the past it's probably because we didn't have them at the time. The Day that some church members had come over to help us load up in Powell, there was a garage sale near by and I just decided to take a look and I found these Bar stools and we had to fit them in our already packed trailer or truck or something like that. Brent was really happy with the new purchase. But hey I'd been looking for a good deal
on bar stools and I couldn't pass it up!

FHE: Hasn't been posted in a while because we are trying to get used to our new schedule here in Greybull and with brent's new job. We have mostly been doing lot's of driving around and going to the park and going on walks. I think that we will have to do family home evening on the first day brent has off our something like that. We'll be experimenting with the best option and keep them posted.

Poopie Drink

This is so her, she has such an attitude and mind of her own.
Dakota sure can smile!
Playing upside down.
Cloe is such a little cutie!
When Cloe was learning how to use the toilet, well what am I kidding myself she is still learning how to use the potty anyway she would get a special drink if she pooped on the potty. So, then she started calling them poopy drinks and now we all call them poopy drinks, people must think we're crazy. And not to mention that the name is really unappetizing. :)

We have been spending a lot of time looking for houses and driving around looking for , for sale signs, we haven't found anything that is really really what we want to buy and can afford. And everytime I call on a rental I just hear about it's either just been rented out that morning, yesterday, or something really similar. We did find a piece of land with a nice trailer on it that Brent's parents came and looked at this weekend they are thinking of buying a piece of land and renting something to us. I'm just ready to get out of our "Stinky Pinky" (the name of our current home, who came up with that name :)

Parade Day!

Lately when Cloe is telling me that she is Cold she Puts her hands in really close and Shakes and says, "It's Freezing!" It really cute, the shaking is so strong that you would think she was freezing to death.
Dakota Looked up and Smiled at me sooooo cute. Needless to say I missed it! :)
LoL what Can I say! Cloe She is quite alot of fun!
Oh well here at least she doesn't look like she is in Pain.
The Greybull Parade was today, so I got the girls all lathered in Sunblock packed us a lunch and took the double stroller down to the Parade. Cloe was really getting the hang of getting the Candy. I had to keep Dakota in the stroller for most of it because I was there by myself and they kept going in two different directions and I couldn't keep them in arms length.

She Really Didn't want to be in there but she also really didn't stay by me and Cloe. There was this lady there with her grandkids and she was helping Cloe with her candy anyway she kept calling her Grandma, she must be missing her grandma's.

They were both Waving really well at all the floats.

Now Let's go home and take a nap!

Billings Again!



So Brent and I needed to get out and we also desperatly needed to Bug bomb our home so we got a hotel in Billings with a pool and a slide. Which was a blast Cloe and Dad were in there for more than 2 hours. Dakota also loved the swimming but got cold faster. We went shopping and prices cars and homes etc. etc. It was a good little trip. Now it's four days on.
We got some holders for the back of the Car seats so the kids can have all of their stuff right in front of them. Cloe decided instead of coloring a picture she wanted to color her finger nails. Being a girl sure starts young.
They Rec center here wants me to teach dance classes but they want to start in August and I think that I don't want to live here while brent is at the academy so I think that I will ask them to start the classes in January. Just for this year. It will probably be Creative Movement and Ballet.

Pop and Lee's Visit

Aunt Lee Lee and Cloe!
Aunt Lee Lee and Dakota!
Pop and Cloe and Dakota going Fourwheelin! Dakota was not Happy on the fourwheeler until mom went with her. :)
Look at all that wide open space doesn't it just make you appreciate nature. It just makes me think of how well the spirit can touch you such a beautiful place! (mom and her girls) Two Curious Kids!

LeeAnn gave me some really good photo's from her and my dad's trip to powell, I really liked them so I thought I would share.

Garage Sales

We Enjoyed a Sunday stroll!
Then Dakota wasn't to happy about a picture and upset that I wasn't holding her and that Cloe was Climbing the tree and she couldn't.
Cloe Loves to Climb this tree outside our trailer, the only problem is that she can't get down. This weekend brent was working. It's going to take a little getting used to. Like last weekend I was trying to call people and get things done and I was like why isn't anybody answering there phone. Then I realized it was Saturday, so this Saturday we actually did a weekend thing. The girls and I went and checked out a bunch of Garage Sales We ended up with some free stuffed toys, I couldn't tell the old man no, and a sit and spin. Brent said he is just thinking about how sick he used to get on those things. I also found a lovey that was really similar to Dakota's so I thought it would make a good back up incase the other gets misplaced. And I'm sad I didn't get this Coffee Table it was a good price, but hey maybe there will be another deal better another day. :)
For Family Home Evening we decided to treat ourselves to A&W and Take a drive around Greybull, and we talked about good deeds for our lesson. And gave examples of a good deed that we saw each other do that day. Cloe went and took a nap all by herself when mom said it was nap time. (a very good deed) Dakota was also a very good napper and didn't whine at mommy all day. Dad played with the girls and gave mom a little break and mom fixed a button on Dad's shorts.

Cloe Bug

What a little Goober! Look how long and cute and curly her hair is getting!
Cloe riding her bug. Well, she's a little big for it, she can ride it so hard that she flips herself backwards.

Cloe calls herself Loe ann or friend Loe. When we were at the park the other day she was trying to play with some older kids and they weren't paying attention to her so she started yelling, "my name is Loe." She really likes to make friends. She loved the hispanic boy at the park who spoke mostly spanish but kept saying, "come on come on." She has also really enjoyed playing with Ren and jumping on his Tramp.

Last night we went to Trapper Creek lodge for Dinner it was so good and so was our company, Erica and Doug. It seems like they know everyone here, I wonder when we will get there. :) Brent has started his four days on today, it was sooooo nice to have four days off in a row I can't believe how much stuff we've been getting done.

Looking UP!!

I feel Like things have been super negative on our blog lately, so here's to Looking up! :)

Last Weekend Grandma Nessi came to Visit! We had a fun drive to Billings and a good lunch at Famous Daves. My mom was so excited about that. :) It was a good day! Then Grandma and Grandpa Casey came and dropped off the Jeep for us to borrow I guess it's making it's rounds. :) The girls were having a great time getting lot's of attention and were all over Grandpa!
We have really been using our double stroller and taking advantage of the path by our house and the park and even riding around town. Church went well. I had to leave Cloe with the Jensen's for awhile okay a long while, so I could take the wiggly cranky one yr old (dakota) out so she would stop interrupting the meeting. I did get the chance to bear my testimony amoungst the crazyness. We met lot's of really nice people who are all going to try and help us get out of our house and who invited us for dinner and just really nice. The Sanderson's were there too another recognizable face. Along with a couple people from our powell ward who were there visiting. We like it here and Brent likes his job. He got called into work last night on his first day off, so he's sleeping right now.

We have weeded and moved some debri away from some iris and roses around our trailer. It just makes things feel a bit better and more like home.I've also hung up a geranium in front of the kitchen window for a little more curb appeal and a nicer view from the kitchen window.The girls and I got our swimsuits on and the sprinkler up and running and had a great time running through the sprinkler. Dakota did it a little bit and Cloe just kept going and going and even staying in the middle for 20 seconds, mom got 6 seconds, and it was really fun when all three of us held hands and ran through together. Then it started raining and we ran through the rain and fixed up the yard.
