So long Emporia...

I will no longer see this sign outside my apartment window...we officially moved out of Emporia. Although Aaron will continue to work there till the end of February. As I was putting Kylie to bed tonight I was reflecting (big word I know!) and I admit going there was very hard...BUT it seemed to get a lot better when the cows stopped being butchered at the plant above. I owe a lot of this to the church and the Young Women program in Emporia. The Emporia ward by far is the most unique ward I have ever been but it is one ward that I hold very near to my heart! I absolutely love the young women and will miss them so much...I will especially miss watching the King's girls cross country meets. I will also miss Cassi and Codi (I know this isn't good bye for long). Cassi and Codi were truly answers to my prayers. I still remember praying for a good babysitter...so I could have some sanity...and the next day these two girls walk up to my apartment with delicious Valentine day cookies and told me they babysit! To make a long story short my family now has two extra members who I would do anything for! Thank you Emporia for the good times and I hope to see you all soon!

This is what happens when you spend too much time together...

Aaron and Josh were playing on the computer last night and made the following pictures. This one is of Josh and Kylie combined.



This next one is what happens when you like the story "Little Red Riding Hood" a little too much...and you're a grandma...You turn into the wolf..

Funnies...

We were just finishing baths when Kylie and Josh decided to be soooo cute...here is our first funny...

Then some posing...

Then for a cute moment...I was reading my book this afternoon and Kylie was sitting on my bed talking to me when Sadie (our dog) came to join us. She jumped right up on the bed and layed down on Kylie's lap. Luckily I had my camera sitting on my bed...I don't know why...so I started clicking away.

My little stinker...

Yesterday I was talking on the phone with my mom...meanwhile Kylie managed to carry her stool up the stairs to my room and place it in front of my bathroom sink. She then opened the makeup drawer and found an stamp pad (some child had handed it to me while I was getting ready and I thought it would be safe at the back of that drawer...hahaha). She then found my mascara...and here is the final result...

The new female KISS...

Dog Park in January...what were we thinking???

Since we are crazy we decided to take the kids and the dog to the dog park on Saturday and it was really cold. I know we are crazy but I thought I would take pictures of our craziness...so enjoy!

Josh in all his manliness

Kylie by the moonlit night

I don't want to know what Josh is thinking...

My attempt to play with Photoshop...

Our little doggy who has come home...ok, not so little...

College Station here we come...I guess!

So we received the official word that we will moving to College Station, TX within the month. If anyone would like to rent my house for the next 6 months or so let me know...I am sooo sad to leave it. The really sad part is that I haven't finished unpacking yet! The good part is that we will be closer to some family...Wooohooo. Aunt Kathy here we come ready or not! Also we would love visitors! Hint, to everyone who wants to get warm!

Craziness in Kansas

Ok, I admit it, I have totally neglected my blog. I am just overwhelmed with a new house, two kids, the holidays, and isn't that enough? We got back from Michigan the Sunday after Thanksgiving and immediately started moving into our new house. My dad was sooo kind and flew out to help us. Then Aaron's parents came for Christmas and since I love company, we played hard! Now it's back to unpacking and painting, and do the preschool thing 4 times a week!

Our new house, the day we had the inspection, ignore the way ghetto van in front!

My kids at their finest!

Go green, go white! Daddy's boy for sure.

He is officially a big boy! Thanks Mimi and Papa V!

Kylie Wy trying to figure it out!

I think Kylie likes a free ride!
