Springtime Happenings

Lovely Spring... we have been blessed with mild weather two years in a row in our beloved scorching desert. I love Spring!! We spent Easter weekend in Layton and Heber. Our main purpose in going up was to find a home, which we did not accomplish, but we are going back up next weekend and won't come back until we have found our new home.

We have a very creative solution to the house situation in St. George, thanks to Kwint's brilliant and kind parents, which I will blog about once it is official, but blessings from Heaven have distilled upon us and there is a solution formulating. We are very thankful.

The boys were pretty lucky... the Easter Bunny managed to find them at Grandma's house!! They were quite excited by these new short swords, and amazed when Mom let them eat candy for breakfast. (and lunch.) (and cake for dinner.) Ugh.

We went to an Easter egg hunt at the Parker's (Aunt Barbi's Mom's house hosts the annual event)


I am an now an official Soccer Mom. Kaeleb loves playing and especially loves his cleats. He wants to wear them any time he thinks he may be running in grass, you know, just to make sure he doesn't slip. It is really cute to watch kids his age play. They mostly just run across the field and back in a big pack and every once in awhile someone gets a lucky kick in and they all turn around and run the other way. Those are pretty much the rules, right?


I love the tongue in this one. It was actually very cold (Ok, cold for St. George is 50.) so the kids were all wearing coats instead of their blue and yellow jerseys. The week before this it was 80, so you just never know what to expect down here. Kaeleb's team is called the Monkeys, and he is hoping he will get a trophy like the one he got in Basketball.

Business endeavors are looking better every day and we are so excited to be heading up and see where it all leads. We are truly sad to be leaving The Biggest Loser Resort, but have been connected with another fitness resort in Sandy, called Utah's Live in Fitness Camp, where Kwint is set to start lecturing and taking clients as soon as we are up there. It is a 45 min drive, so it may only be one or two days a week that he spends there. He will stay busy the other days with referrals from Max and doing phone therapy with the clients he keeps from St. George. He is so happy. I love watching him grow and creating a niche for himself.

I am excited too, because I am meeting this week with a personal trainer and am ready to learn how to do this. I have put my studies on hold until after the move but it will be so good to get some hands on learning in the meantime. Once I get my certification I am going to move on to another certification called "Lifestyle and Weight Management" which will enable me to write meal plans as well as fitness plans. It may be another full year before I actually start working, when Brennan goes to preschool, but at the rate I am going, it will take a year to finish my certs.

We had a wonderful weekend with the Jacob's Family who graciously came to visit us even though we will be up there in just a few short weeks! I neglected to get any good pictures, even though we had a sooooo much fun. It was a bit noisy and chaotic, as you might imagine with 5 boys, but they were in Heaven. Both boys were completely depressed when they left. Kaeleb wanted to know exactly how many days it would be until we see them again and Brenny whined for an hour "I just wanna go wif my friends! I just want my friends to tome to my house!" We are glad they love Tracen, Tyler, and Tate as much as we love Dan and Dee. It will be such a blessing to be close to our good friends up North again. We have pretty strong roots grown in both places now, and we are feeling very grateful that the Lord has blessed us so.
