Updates for Dad

So, Shan moved out to Kansas this last weekend. He's taken a new job that he is so excited about. He's been going to school for what seems like forever and is now getting a chance to use all that knowledge! I'm excited for him and so, so proud! He's ready to be done crawling in attics, digging ditches and abusing his body!
I've decided to use this blog to be able to show Shan what's been going on here in good old St. George.
Saturday was hard to see you go! Hard to believe you actually left. We spent the rest of the day playing with friends, watching movies and cleaning the playhouse. Wow did it ever need it. It had so much sand in it, but now it looks like new and will be fun for the kids to play in again, now that it's getting warmer.
Sunday went really pretty good. Carson was a big help for me. I got them all up at 7:30 and we started getting ready. Good thing because once again......wait for it......Michaels shoes were missing. I know your shocked! We got there plenty early and the kids were pretty decent during Sacrament meeting. Carson took Kambree to the bathroom and to nursery so I could stay in Sacrament which was nice. And Kambree went right to nursery for Carson - I was worried.
Only exciting thing that happened was that Carson pulled the fire alarm during the switch between classes. At first I wanted to be upset when I found out it was him. But I think it was just an accident, he was just checking it out and he was so ashamed. Poor kid was in tears and so embarrassed that everyone was looking at him.
After he apologized to the bishop we headed to the kitchen to give him a minute to compose himself and then he came to Gospel Doctrine with me. After just a minute of being there the teacher asked a question and up shoots Carsons hand. I tried to hurry and put it down, but nope she called on him. Luckily he gave a good answer. Crazy Kid! I got all kinds of comments about how he is turning rebellious after you being gone just one day!
After church was extremely boring. We made a cake to celebrate Kambrees real birthday. The kids all liked that.
We tried to go on a walk, but only made it as far as the mail box before it started raining on us. So we turned around. That was okay though because we got my parents gift to Kambree from the mail. She got more pollys and they all enjoyed playing with those for a while.
Don't you love Blakes face when I tried to take a picture of him playing with the dolls?
After dinner (yes I made them white chili - proud of myself for that one!) We headed to bed. We read part of first Nephi(the Illustrated version) and talked about how they could be like Nephi who prayed to have his own answer about moving into the wilderness. We talked about how they could pray and ask for their own answer about moving to Kansas. I thought it was good. We said prayers and then called you.
It was a lonely night for me. I did some dishes and then headed to bed. I know it's crazy but watching TV with you is somehow not as lonely as watching by myself.
Kambree keeps asking where her daddy is and Michael has teared up a few times when we talk about you. We miss you but are doing well! We are hoping your first day at your new job goes well today, that you really like it and the people you work with!
Love you!
