Life lately...

Wow! It sure has been a minute since I posted! As most of you know, we moved at the beginning of the month from Southern Utah to northern Utah. It's been a huge adjustment for all of us, but we're stoked to finally be living as a family all together again! We love our new house. It's just a rental, so we'll start house shopping again here in a few months but we're starting to get an idea on where exactly we want to buy. 

So to catch you all up, here's our life over the last couple weeks: 

On Oct. 2, I cried like a baby as we said goodbye to our first home. So bittersweet. 

 Daniel had gone the day before to drive the budget truck while I stayed back with my parents and the kids to clean the house. Whew. That was intense. But then we loaded up the kids and took off Sunday night. 

 But because we got a late start and the wind was blowing like crazy AND Luna saw fit to scream cry for an hour straight, we stopped half way and got a couple motel rooms. That was kind of a fun adventure for the kids. 

 Monday morning we finally got to our new house!! It was actually my first time seeing it in person! 

 It's so cute! Once we're finally all unpacked and have the house decorated, I'll do a walk-through post. 

It's part of an HOA, so the entire neighborhood is kind of like this little community and there is a playground/park right in our front yard. Jack loves it, of course. 

 
 
Then we took on the massive task of unpacking. We are almost three weeks in and still working on it but we're getting there! Thankfully my parents stayed for a couple days and my mom basically set up our entire kitchen. Life saver!! Thanks, ma! 

 
Amidst all the crazy over the past couple weeks, month four has been a big one for Miss Luna! She's learning all kinds of skills. She loves getting and giving kisses! 

 

She can stand with little assistance. 

 


And she sits unassisted without falling or tipping over! She can sit like that for a good 10 minutes before she gets tired. But she never actually falls. 

 
 
We got visits from the Aunt Nicki and Aunt Nicolle. 
 

And Grandma Christy and Papa West. We also went over to Dan's sister Genelle's house and got to hang out with them and baby Donevin, who is only two months old, I might add. And yeah, as big as Luna. Lol. 

 

We got a new washer/dryer set. Speed Queen, our first brand new set and Daniel's new pride and joy. :P 

 

But mostly, I've just been hanging with the cutest kids around and unpacking lots and lots of boxes. 

 
This kid had a blast shopping at IKEA. 

 And seriously, could this baby get any cuter?? 

 
I am so glad we finally feel a little more settled. I miss our first home, but I'm excited for what the future has in store. <3
