Girls night out

Alycia and I had our annual girls night out while the boys were on Father's and sons camp out. We did our hair, went out to dinner, rented a movie, got snacks, played hopscotch and had fun being together. i am so grateful for these times I have to have one on one time with my children.

update on moving

On Friday Ed came back from working in CO, we worked our tail ends off on Sat, still not getting everything done. We interviewed 2 Realtors, and those went well. Sunday was an emotional day for Ed and I. Ed was released from being first counselor in the bishopric for the last 5 years. It has really been a blessing to our family. It was our ward conference so the Stake president was there, and he asked Ed to say a few words. I was a mess the whole sacrament meeting for anyone that saw me will attest to that. Then when he got up to speak I REALLY lost it. It HIT me so hard, that we ARE moving, WOW, think I used a whole box of tissues just during sacrament, sent Tyler twice to get me more tissues, lol. I am so grateful that I have a husband that is so worthy to hold the priesthood, and that he loves to serve the Lord. Ed mentioned that when he had talked to the Stake president before church that he told him he could repent and not move, everyone laughed. We would LOVE to stay here and if we didn't feel like the Lord needed us somewhere else we would. Wouldn't it be nice sometimes to know WHY we are supposed to do things, but I think that is part of the learning and growing process, so we aren't asking WHY but just DOING it. So hopefully our house will go on the market this week. I also have the appraisal, and inspector coming this week, really stressing me out. Ed will be back on Friday and hopefully we can get more of the things done that we haven't done yet. Well there's for a long babbling post. Hope all of my friends are doing GREAT.

Peggy the pint size pirate

Josh was in his schools play, he was a pirate named Jerry the Jittery and he he played a clam, he did a good job. It was a cute and funny play about a tiny girl that wanted to be a pirate but they wouldn't let her cause she was small, till one day she saved them all from the sea monster and then she had proved that she was braver then all the pirates.

Easter 2009

I know this is kind of late, but here are some Easter Pictures, we didn't really do anything big, I didn't even take any Easter Pictures all dressed up. Zach had so much fun coloring eggs. Tyler said he wishes everyday was Easter cause he wants to DYE eggs everyday, lol that would be a TON of eggs to eat, lol. Kids had fun, we had friends over for Easter dinner, always nice to share the holidays with friends and family, and since no family close by we shared it with some friends, was a really nice day.

Moving

Ed excepted a position in CO Springs, he starts next week. We still don't have our House on the market, as Fed Ex is doing all of that. I have been busy cleaning and decluttering, and TOSSING away ALOT, it is kind of fun getting rid of stuff. Man 7 people can really have a lot of stuff. It took me a while to get excited about moving, I HATE moving. The good thing about moving with work is they pack and move ya, so hey I can do that, load up my family in my car and meet them there, and they do all the work, not too bad. I have really learned to love this little town of North Platte, and am really going to miss it. I have made some great friendships and hope they will continue. I will miss my large yard and my beautiful garden that my neighbor helps me with. I love driving by the lake everyday, what pretty sunsets and sunrises. This choice to move was really a hard one for me, but it is an awesome opportunity for Ed and am so excited for him and this new challenge. I know the Lord will help me as I learn to adjust in CO and help me to get the things done here that I need to get done.
Ed is in the bishopric and he is conducting this month of April. The first week was general conference, 2nd week was our stake conference, and next week is our ward conference, so Ed only has this coming Sunday that he has to conduct and find speakers, so of course because we're moving he decided that I needed to speak before we leave AH ISN'T THAT SWEET, NOT!!!

School music program

My kids had their Spring Music Concert on April 2, 2009. They all did a great job. Josh got to play the recorder for one of the songs, and Aaron played the xylophone for one of his songs. They had fun and did a great job.

Alycia's room

I FINALLY got Alycia's room done. I painted it back in February, but just got the chair rail and things on the walls on saturday. I haven't found what I want above her bed yet, so that is still bare, but I do like how it all turned out and she loves it so that is what matters.
