Can't Get Enough Summer

Thursday is a day I like to post. I don't know why but I have always loved Thursdays so I am in a positive, reflective mood on those days:-) This past week has been getting better for sure. Some things are getting checked off our list. (These pictures are random, people always ask how are kids travel and usually the keep themselves busy.)
We found a place to live, the only downside is we have to change wards again! I think the members are getting pretty sick of us here! It's not too far from where we live and it is a 2 story town home. We are moving the last weekend of July and Nolan already has half our house in boxes. He is so fast, I'm always impressed.
We have fully recovered and have kicked the STREP throat Grace, Thomas, and I had. My cough still lingers, and the antibiotics are still being taken, but we're not contagious and are feeling good. It's amazing how medicine can take you from hardly being able to move to totally normal in just 48 hours!
Other than that we've just been chilling. We've had dinner with friends a few nights, I've been doing a little online shopping during bed rest and a lot of catching up on the kids scrapbooks, we've been doing the daily park playing, and the kids are loving playing with the water in our backyard. What a great babysitter that has been!
On a side note, what's the deal with So You Think You Can Dance? GO Lauren and TWITCH. I'm sick of all the injuries taking the dancers out of the competition. They made a mistake only have 10 dancers in the beginning in my opinion. Should have had 20!

i love the pictures of them traveling!!

Strep throat stinks.. I felt so yucky I knew the only option was the shot!! Not so good for me I ended up passing out!

I like the picture of Grace. You guys are such good travelers and movers...do you think i can drive 6 1/2 hours alone to go visit Glen in August?? I am also sick of the injuries, too many good people are going home. I do love seeing my favorites though dance three times in one episode. Lauren and Kent are my favorite. I am glad you are feeling better

I am not sure what is around grace's head but that looks perfect for kids napping in the car! Glad you found a place and it sounds like it will be wonderful -way to go Nolan on packing. When we eventually move can he come and pack our house too? :)

Ok -So you think you can Dance. Love the show have watched it every season. However these last couple of seasons Tim and I have been quite bored with it :( Don't get me wrong there are a few good dances each week. I don't like the stage the old one was better more personable. Plus I think the judges have their favorite and are not judging fairly. My favorite was Alex, now it is Lauren.

Good luck with the moving and the new ward. At least you guys don't have to travel for Nolan's job anymore so you'll be around more. Also, thanks for being one of the only people reading with me. I love it!

I'm glad you found a new place to live...hopefully you won't have to speak in new ward, unless you want to! (Brandon and I have somehow never had to speak together as a married couple, probably because we've moved too much.) And I'm happy to hear you're feeling better - it is seriously hard to have sick kids AND be feeling miserable yourself, yuck!

Kristin and Seth said...

Glad you guys are feeling better! Being sick in the summer is awful, it is too short to be sick. I love SYTYCD but haven't been able to watch it as much as I would like. I think Lauren is awesome, and I totally agree that they should have had 20 dancers rather than 10 I bet they won't make that mistake again. Good luck moving, can't believe you have to do it again.

Ahhhh, we are RIGHT there with ya on moving and packing. It's so stressful. Your kids are so dang cute, and I love that picture of you and Nolan. Is that at his parents new place? I saw pics on Jill's blog, and it is absolutely gorgeous.

Kimberly McLaughlin said...

Agree, agree, and agree on all the SYTYCD comments.
I'm glad you found a place, it is a bummer you have to move again though.
How'd you guys get strep when you and Thomas already had it like 2 years ago, along with me and Craig???
Why is Grace wearing that thing around her head?? hahahaha I laughed a lot at that!

Braydan and Jessica said...

Oh good I'm glad you found a place so fast. And feeling better too. Dad made fun of Grace's head rest thing--said she looks like a midget from the wizard of ozz :) I'm not sure what he's talking about, but he had a good laugh anyway.

Blade and Alli said...

Yay for finding a new place! I know it stinks, but once you are settled in it will feel so good! Cute pics too. The one of you and Nolan needs to be framed for sure! Thats one good lookin couple!

RaeAnn said...

dude, 10 comments already? you are back baby! Glad to know you are "feeling much better now" (in a creepy sixth sense voice). Can't wait to see you!!!

Chy said...

I so need to bring a travel pillow for the kids heads...so smart!

How can I help you with the moving? Do you like the new place? I bet your ward will be sad to see you go and the new ward (1,2,3??) will love to have you!

Susy Harper said...

I'm so glad you all got better fast! You guys are amazing travelers and movers! Sure miss those cute kids. Love ya!

Tanya said...

Jessica said...

Sorry you've been sick, that's the worst! Good luck with the move this weekend!
