A brilliant plan...

We sold our house. We are very excited! Now what? Hmmm....that is a good question. Well, we have until June 30th to figure it out. Part of the agreement of the sale is that we can live here {rent-free} until then. So while we may not have a concrete plan, many of you have expressed an interested in our moving to YOUR area. So I have come up with what I feel is a brilliantly plan. Ya'll ready for this??? We will be accepting bids, and the highest bidder wins! Now here me out on this one....need NOT be monetary, so get creative. Happy bidding, and see you soon? :)

A ski day



These are just some random pictures of Ridges 1st day skiing! Noah loved looking out the window in the lodge at the skiers coming down the mountain. :)

Another birthday post {the last for awhile, I promise!}

For my birthday {celebrated last Friday}, we met The Cragun's in Utah to eat at Maddox, my new favorite place to eat! If you've never been, I highly recommend it. And if you go on your birthday like I did, you can get a free piece of this deliciousness...




The Absolute Best Coconut Creme Pie in the world!

We had a great time! Thanks Chet and Abby for being such amazing friends. I am so glad we met and can't wait to see what the future holds for our families. :)

A long overdue Birthday {party} post






Ridge's birthday celebration was fast and furious. Due to Chase's schedule lately, we had to squeeze his party in sometime when he was home. There were so many scheduling conflicts, that it looked near impossible, but one Sunday, a load got cancelled and Chase ended up not leaving until Monday so it was Party time! I had invitations made about a couple weeks prior to the day we had the actual party {with dates blank}, and ended up giving them out literally the day of the party! Thank you to everyone that came to celebrate {short notice and all} our sweet Ridgeman turning big 4 years old.

One of his favorite things he got was a "big boy" bike! And for the last few weeks has been riding all over the house, but today was actually pretty nice outside and we were able to go for a nice little bike ride. :)

A simple weight check? Of course not... :)



Noah had an appointment this past Monday for a simple weight check...4 immunizations, 1 blood draw, a diagnosis of STREP, and 2 hours later {oh and don't forget the weight check}, we were spent...while Noah was stripped down for his weigh-in, Doc noticed a rash, thought it looked Strep-ish and swabbed him and sure enough, Strep. So strange...he never slowed down for a minute, even after the doctors appointment. Crazy kid!

On a lighter {or heavier depending on how you look at it :)} note, Noah made good progress on his weight gain! 16 lbs 1 oz! Still not on the chart, but he'll get there.

* I also took Ryder to Noah's appointment because he is once again battling his MINIMAL CHANGE, and all that comes with it, but that is for a different post, and tonight I just don't have the energy.
