New Place, New Things

It has been so long since I have written in here I feel like I don't know how to write any more.
We have been really enjoying our time here in salt lake city. The city isn't the greatest, however the place we live is alot of fun. We have made some good friends and things are always happening around here whether that is exercise classes for women or girls nights out or ward activities or devotional. And of course there are always people outside on nice days. Kids playing on the play ground or riding bikes. It seems like there is always plenty to do. People are so nice. I went and did a yoga class for the first time.... interesting, good.... but not sure I am a big fan. I would much rather do cardio work out.
Tyler is doing well in school and is working hard. He likes his anatomy class the most, and is learning so much. Its nice to have him come home and spend time together after school. And weekends are great. He has been doing construction on his professors house on Saturdays  to bring in a little extra cash.
I was able to sell our leather chair for a little extra too. It is really nice to have that little extra room in our apartment.
Jenna and Tara are getting so big and smart. They say a few words like: mommy, dad, baby(blankey),  please, no, shoes, step, hi, ball, vroom noise for a car. And their favorite word is dog. Go figure.  They love yogurt, granola bars, cereal, and pancakes. They love the slide and swings and tackling eachother . They also love books and nursery rhymes right before bed. They love nursery and always light up when. We say they get to go to nursery.

 

I can't get over their curls.

 

So Blessed

This last year has be full of ups and downs, but I can't help feeling so blessed. Through the months of being unemployed, finding a way to get Jenna her surgery, then finally getting accepted into a school our heavenly father has been there helping us along the way. This Christmas season we got a great surprise, we were hoping we would have a little more cash for Christmas but on Christmas eve some one rang our doorbell then left a pile of presents for the girls on our door step. The girls loved opening up the presents and playing with so many new toys! Tyanna also got them some boots for winter and they bring them to me every day wanting to just wear them around. We have been blessed with people who are willing to help every which way. It was a great blessing to have Jenna's surgery done by such a great doctor and to get it done at no expense. We have moved to a place that may not be all that cozy or nice but it works for what we need and it is very close to campus which will make it much easier for Tyler and me as well. We are so grateful for the opportunity Tyler has to go back to school. I hope we will be able to find a good routine and make it work the best that it can. It will be so nice for me to have the car and be able to go wherever during the day.

It has been so nice to be close to kk and aaron here in Utah. We have a pretty awesome family. We were all so happy that mom and dad came down to surprise us. It was so great to see them and spend a little time together.
