what do you think

I have been working on this forever! or so it seems, and I have almost finished!  I am going to make them into wall decals.  I have had so so so much fun.  I am going to rework a few of them and I am trying to decide how I want the letters to interact with the animals, but my rough draft is done!

Sweet 16

Greetings from Wellsville!
We hope, and we are crossing our fingers, not making any total promises, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, we have finally settled, lucky move number 16 and in Cache Valley of all the places.

When Eliza saw this picture she said, "Look!  Hazel pushing me!"

YEAH!  Two front teeth gone!

Jacob can make amazing things out of legos, check out his robot.

Cheese!

The moving truck ramp is so fun, and dangerous!

Jacob and the bubbles...

Daddy and Eliza in our driveway

Everyone in the driveway

Eliza LOVES corn on the cob and this particular piece helped us dodge a nasty post naptime melt down.  Thank you corn!

If you look closely you can see Hazel is chasing the giant weed seeds we found on our walk with Grandma.

Sarah took this on our walk to our mailbox

Jacob down by Little Bear River.  I am only slightly nervous about the name of the river...  He saw a big crawdad, but no bears.

Eliza is adjusting to a new house and takes random naps when and where she can.

RUN!

Sometimes we feel like we are on the moon....

Maybe mars....
We are getting used to rural life, getting our water from a well, using propane (stored in tanks on the property), civilization 15 minutes away, and of course all the wild life!  Jared caught a turtle on our gravel road, crawdads in the river, we have seen so many colorful birds, and lots of bugs.

Our neighbors are great and have nine children (from 14 down to 2).  They match up with all our kids ages.  They are are only real neighbors that live down our dead end gravel road.  That should help keep us social.

Over all we are loving it out here.  We are just 5 miles away from my parents and we love that!  Wellsville is a cute LITTLE town with no stoplights, but a very nice post office, slow internet (sorry Jared), and we are excited to call it home :)

ipad to the rescue

Yesterday Hazel locked herself in a room.  We were getting very anxious to get her out, but she couldn't figure out how to unlock the door from the inside.  All our coaching was to no avail.  Jared finally had the idea to do video chat with her and slip the ipad under to door.  We were able to see her cute little face and via video chat I was able to show her exactly how to twist the lock, and she was rescued!  She came out very frightened and we had a lesson on how to unlock doors :)
