Visitors!

We have only lived in Boise for about a month but have already had our first visitors... my sister and her family came for a quick visit to see us, our house, the practice and Boise. It was really fun to explore new places with them and show them around. We spent a majority of their trip playing at our new favorite park.

Jen and Kylan brought my cousin Josie to come visit us, and when they had to go, I made Josie stay :) I was planning on driving to UT solo the following weekend for my cousin's wedding and was a little nervous about driving that far by myself with two little munchkins. Josie was a life saver and stayed a few extra days and then drove with me and the girls. Thank you thank you.

Sophie's Blessing

I was able to steal Jayson away and go to Utah for one last hurrah before his license came. We were there for 5 days and enjoyed birthday lunches for my sister and mom, a surprise party and Sophie's blessing. It was really fun to be able to bless sweet Sophie with our families.

Dessert was way better than lunch

We participated in our first Boise activity by going to a parade in Eagle a few weeks ago.

New House!

After graduation on Saturday (May 14th) Jayson and his dad drove off in our Penske truck and my dad followed them in our car. They drove through NE and spent the night and then drove to SLC on Sunday. My mom and I flew out of Omaha Saturday night and arrived in SLC really really late (thanks to some plane delays.) It was one crazy day! Jayson and I drove the Penske and our car to Idaho Monday morning and arrived around 7pm - just in time for some nice men from our ward to unload our truck.

Needless to say, it was a very long and exhausting couple of days...

We have now been in our house for over a month and are loving it! It is gorgeous and I just can't believe we get to live here.  Savannah has been so cute and loves running around the house saying "new house, new house." She has also loved seeing all of her cousins and it is so fun to live so close.

Jayson's license came through much quicker than we anticipated and he was able to start work on June 6th. So far, so good. He is really enjoying it but comes home very physically and emotionally drained.

The Graduate!

Moving Mayhem

For our last big bash at Village Green we decided to have a BBQ with friends and a massive slip-n-slide. It was so fun to spend time with all of our friends before the craziness of moving and graduating set in.

When I looked at our freezer a few days before we were moving, I noticed we had 6 lbs. of ground beef! Hence the impromptu taco party with friends

Clark's Visit

Jayson's mom wasn't able to come for graduation, so she and Jay Dee came for a few days in early May. It was so fun to have them come for one last Omaha hoorah. Their trip was great timing, because Jayson was finished with school and was able to hang out with them all day.   Coleen made sure I didn't do too much with the baby; so I stayed home most of the time and it was delightful. Savannah sure loves her grandparents and was thrilled to have so much attention.  We were able to hit up all of our Omaha favorites: Olsen's bakery, Wheatfields, Upstream's delicious Gouda Ale soup, the zoo, the botanical gardens. Coleen and I also squeezed in one more stop at our favorite boutique. It was not quite the same without the children's collection, so it made it easier to say goodbye.

She came at a busy time, but has been so sweet (and so sleepy)
