Fireworks and Friends

The girls and I went over to some friends for her birthday party and then we went to the park and watched the fireworks with them. It was a nice evening. Brent even got to hang with us until he had to go to work at eight. He has started the night shift this week. It's going pretty good so far. Brent said he was supper tired his first night on but I think he will be better tonight. He got plenty of sleep today, especially since the girls and I were away.
Look at Cloe and Dakota Laughing together (on the far right in the front.) I hope they will be great friends.

Independance day

Cody Stampede Parade! Cloe says, "Look Mommy!"
Dakota got a piece of candy all by herself, all the big kids had passed over it.
Mom and the girls at the parade!
Doesn't Cloe look like she is enjoying her own little show! When they would toss some candy all the big kids would sworm the candy so she would look up and wait for more to be thrown. Which of course didn't happen. She did end up with a couple pieces.
Afterwords we ran into Trevor and Trish and their kids. Of all the people at that parade. :) Anyway, so we went to McDonalds together and a park nearby! It was good to see them. And Cloe Says...

Happy Face! :)

Four Eyes

Daddy has six eyes! :) Cloe says, "Wait mom..."
"I'm cool too!"

Family Home Evening

We went with brent's first day off as a good day to do FHE. Mom had the Lesson and we learned about prayer. I had the kids draw pictures of a sun, food, moon, something they are thankful for, and something they need or want. Then I taught them when to pray and some things to pray for. Then I quized them. I held up their pictures and asked, "When do we pray?", and "What do we pray for?" Dad had Activity. He said that he wanted to do a walk but then decided to take a drive in our new truck. So, we got popsicles for a treat and went for a drive around Greybull.

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 :)
