Making memories...

These past few months have been wild to say the least! It all started back in April when Drew and I went for a drive one Sunday afternoon. Out of the blue we decided... HEY- let's put our house up for sale.... SO WE DID! The end of April we put the sign in the yard and 3 1/2 weeks later we accepted an offer and I started packing. It has been an exciting and crazy process all at the same time. I have learned so many things over the last few weeks that are truly invaluable lessons. The first and most important being to have faith!  The last few weeks while our house has been under contract has been STRESSFUL and BUSY! We have had Logan's birthday. Lagoon trip. Logan's baptism. Memorial Weekend ( WHICH IS ALWAYS THE BUSIEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR IN ISLAND PARK!!) and of course just life of being mommy with 5 kids.

I can honestly say that through the past 3 weeks we have had more fun than we have had in a long time. Our life feels so crazy and insane but so comfortable all at the same time. McKenzie has been such a huge help. I don't know how I would live this life without her.  This past weekend was AWESOME! Logan chose to be baptized and it was a wonderful day. I was giggling the entire time because he is soooo shy.  He wouldn't look at anyone and was acting so nervous. It was a really special day and the feelings there were wonderful!! We were so lucky to have Jennifer and Jeremy and Brady and Rachael come for the weekend. We always love to be with family and it meant so much to us and to Logan to have people come JUST for him. We have such good friends who always support us and love us also.
Oh isn't he so handsome?! I love this picture. I could go on and on about Logan. First of all, Logan is handsome with a capitol H! I love his big brown eyes and I love how much he loves his mommy. He is always making sure to give me hugs, tell me he loves me and is constantly walking in a room and gives me a little scratch on my back. I was thinking today what it will be like when he is a grown man and hopefully still doing those things.  A funny fact about Logan : he gets very concerned about funny things. Once he gets his mind wandering it is hard for him to slow it down. HE IS SOOOO MUCH LIKE ME THAT WAY. His recent concern has been our house flooding and wondering if we will be okay. :)

                                            MY HANDSOME FUTURE MISSIONARIES!

While we had Rachael here I asked her to take some family pictures of us. Of course, she did a wonderful job and we love her for her hard work!











These next few months are going to be an adventure. I just keep telling myself and Drew that we are making memories! Wherever we go or wherever we live, I am sooo happy because I have Drew and my kids with me.  Homeless or not! :)
