Update!

So Christmas is over.. and we are back in Lehi. We had such a great X-mas and are so glad that my whole family was together! We spent about a week and a half in Monticello and enjoyed the time there! It was so great to have my little niece Nicole there and get to see her everyday! Alexis loved giving her lots of kisses :) We played games and had lots of yummy treats! It was so nice being home with everyone THANKS MOM AND DAD!! I will post all the X-mas pic's soon!

On Friday we drove down to Ticaboo to start packing our stuff :( It was very sad.. We were actually able to pack up the whole house yesterday.. My parents came down yesterday to get the rest of my dad's stuff and Chad, Kelly, Baby Nicole, and Keri drove down as well.. So we got to hang-out and play games one last time all together in Ticaboo.. Sam and Ami even made it back in time last night to visit for a minute! They are now headed off to Arizona and Chad and Kelly will probably stay in Ticaboo for another month or so.. So everyone is now scattered and it makes me really sad.. I hope that we'll still be able to get together often!! Our family has always been so close.. In fact our husbands usually make fun of us for being so attached!! But that's just the way it is.. It makes me sad to think that the next time I see little Nicole could be a month or so.. Just because babies grow so dang fast.. It was really nice being able to be so close to everyone and having my mom and brother come down and visit every weekend.. I'm sure someday we'll all end up in the same place again! I just want them all to know how much I love them and will miss them like crazy..

The business is scooting along.. And they are hoping to start on Jan. 1 Jonathon has been very very anxious to get going.. And says the no work break has been long enough!!

Alexis loves loves baby Nicole.. When we were in Monticello every morning she'd look for her to just see her or give her a kiss! She was so excited when we got to Ticaboo on Friday and even said HOME when we saw the Ticaboo hotel.. She really liked her little house and really enjoyed having Sorcia, Izzy, Mialee, and Aria there to play with.. She is so comfortable there and it makes me sad that her room and toys are all packed up.. and that we won't be down there at the Lake anymore... She had such a great time going to the Lake!!

I am defiantely ready to get settled somewhere and get my stuff all up here! I'm not sure where we will be living yet.. Layton is an option but I guess we'll see. Either way we have to find something soon because our stuff needs to be out of the place in Ticaboo by Feb. 1 So it will be an interesting month.. Well like I said I will post some X-mas pic's soon! I hope everyone had an awesome X-mas and got everything they wanted :)

Yup, I cried on the way home from Ticaboo. Dad said that I should be happy that everyone is moving forward with their lives, and of course I am. I just don't think they understand us girls.I know things don't stay the same for long. Life brings many changes, but sometimes as you go from having things one way to another it is sad. It will be exciting to see what the new year brings, hopefully many more fun times together. As long as you are all healthy & happy that's all I care about. I miss you guys though, it was something for me to look forward to. Just a 2- 1/2 hour drive to see all of you. It must just be something about a mom and her kids, it's hard to let them go too far, or for too long. I Love You All!

it still doesn't seem real to me. Ticaboo is SO quiet, I never thought i would miss all the 4 wheelers driving around. We had it made and it will be hard to leave. It just stinks cause there is nothing we can do but go foward and make it the best. I will post often so you guys can see Nicole. Good luck with everything! Love you guys!!!
