Sister Time

My sister, Jesica, came into town a few days before my brother returned home so we could have some quality "sister time" ... AKA shopping (There's something about being with your sisters that makes shopping more fun). We also went to lunch and watched lots of TLC. It was a blast. We miss you Sis!

Welcome Home Elder Dalby!

My brother, Ryan, returned from his mission in Panama this week. Jesica came into town so all the sibs could be together for the first time in almost 3 years. We had so much fun picking him up at the airport, going to dinner, and staying up until morning talking and playing Settlers of Catan (OK, that game is addicting!) The cousins had a blast playing together. Joshua and Livi already miss "Baby Kenna." Joshua was especially excited to see his uncle Ryan. He has prayed for him every day these past 2 years, and has already decided Ryan is his new best buddy. Welcome home Ryan! We love you!!

Cravings

I've never been much of a believer in "pregnancy cravings" ... until the other night. I wanted a sugar cookie SO BAD! I HAD to have one ... the homemade kind with lots of yummy frosting. My sympathetic sister stayed up all night making sugar cookies with me. We finally finished at 2:00 in the morning ... it was so worth it. =)

First Day of School

Joshua started preschool yesterday. He was so excited to have a real backpack (which is almost as big as he is), and he told me he hoped his teacher would give him homework (I don't think that's going to last very long ...) I missed him so much while he was gone, and Livi kept asking, "Where's Josha?" He had a blast at school, and didn't miss us for a second. He got to play with play dough, read books, paint a picture and ride a tricycle at recess. Hooray for preschool!

4 and a Half!

Joshua had his half Birthday. He is now closer to being 5 than 4 ... time is going by way too fast for me. Happy Half Birthday to our favorite little boy!

America's Best Dance Crew

OK, so we've been pretty much addicted to the show, "America's Best Dance Crew." After the finale, we decided to have a little dance party of our own ... Enjoy!

Change ...

I've never been very fond of it. In an unexpected turn of events, Jason has changed companies. We packed up all our belongings, moved from a ward we loved, and are now living with my parents for a time (Thanks Mom and Dad!) until we know where Jason's new company will place him. All of us in one bedroom ... yah. While the job change is a good one, and I know we will be better off for having made the change, my overemotional pregnant self has cried a few nights over the stress of packing, saying goodbye, and not knowing what the future holds. However, I'm learning to see this experience as my kids do ... an adventure. In Joshua's words: "We get to live at Grandpa and Grandma's house?! Awesome!!"
