Quick update

Alexis and Kinleigh sleeping in our NEW house for the first time :)

Well we've been over in Elko the last couple of weeks. The hotel definately starts to get boring pretty quickly. Luckily Kelly and Nicole were over there staying with Chad as well while we were there. The boys usually don't get back to the hotel from work until about 6:30 or 7:00. Then we usually all go get something to eat, mainly so that us girls can get out of the hotel room. Then Jonathon and I usually will try to take Alexis swimming or something. The days can be pretty long when we are over in Elko.. and it's nice to get a break from being over there.

Jonathon and I found out that on April 12th we were officially homeowners!!! YAY :) We are so very excited that everything went well with that and we now have a house!!

Alexis, Kinleigh, and I drove to Provo on Friday. My mom and Derek drove up there for the weekend, so we met them over at Kelly's house. It was fun to hang out with my mom and Keri. Jonathon and my Dad drove over from Elko on Saturday night. They met us out in Saratoga Springs at our new house because my mom and I were there. We spent most of the day Saturday cleaning the house. The owners before us were clean, but not deep cleaners like me. So we scrubbed EVERYTHING! We also got our carpets cleaned professionally :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE my house!! We spent the night at our house on Saturday night (we all slept on the floor, because our bed is in Monticello right now.) On Sunday Adam, Keri, Derek, Kristina, Chad, and Kelly all came over to check out our new house.. and also to visit. Chad, Jonathon, and my Dad left around 7:00 pm. on Sunday to head back to Elko. It really sucked that Jonathon only got to spend a few hours at our new house.. but while he was there we had a great time! We were able to go to Lowes and get a few things we needed for the house. Our first official piece of furniture for the new house was Jonathon's idea... LOL. We bought a 60" LCD TV. from Best Buy! Jonathon LOVES it. I was hoping our first piece of furniture would be couches.. ha ha.

Well since Jonathon had to go back to Elko, I decided to follow my mom to Monticello yesterday with the girls so that I could get our stuff together. So right now the girls and I are here in Monticello. Jonathon is hopefully going to get a week off starting this weekend so he'll meet me down here. We'll get our stuff packed and head back up to Saratoga Springs :) I can't wait till we get furniture in our house.. and for me to be able to start decorating! I'm so glad we have a place that we can call home!


Kinleigh is just growing and growing. She smiles all the time now! She really is getting more fun everyday. She is such a sweetheart! She is still so good at night.. and she is a lot less fussy in the day then she used to be. She loves to watch Alexis.. and loves when Alexis talks to her!
