ALL THE BAD NEWS

It has been a very trying couple of weeks for our family.
The house that we live in ( we were planning on living in for at least 2 more years)
has been sold. Not only do we have to move out a quickly as possible, but our rent will be going up substantailly. I guess it is probably a good thing since we have had some pretty terrible things going on in the "apartments next door"
The police have been around so much my children think that it is normal to see police at least weekly. We have had; arrests, csi's, and just about as many detectives as are employed by Provo City. I am tired to say the least. I think what thru me over the edge is the last time the police were next door my boyz saw them through the window and said " Mom the police are here lets go outside so they can give us stickers like last time" my stomach is still turning. The neighborhood we are moving to has none of this. We are going to have to start watching TV again, instead of looking out the windows for entertainment.
We are moving to 401 Brookside Drive in Springville, just a hop skip and jump from Brandy's house. It is a 4 bedroom house with full finished basement and wood swingset in the fenced backyard, WHAT A BLESSING. I am very sad about leaving my ward, my friends, and downtown Provo which I love soooo much. I know that we are always provide for and protected by the Lord. This is just another adventure!!!!! We have a two year lease on the house, just enough time for Angelo to finish school and find a job. Our landlord has indicated that if we find a job around here and want to purchase the house at that time she would be willing.
So, we signed the contract today and all is set we move on the 15th of July!!!!

 

Mi Familia

It is 9:00pm, we ( the entire family) are getting in the car to leave my Mothers home.

It goes something like this;

Jaxson jumps in buckels up, click

Hazel in her seat and buckeled, click, click, click

Liam............Liam, remember Liam is 2 ( Mr. Autonomy)

I DO IT I DO IT I DO IT I DO IT I DO IT I DO IT I DO IT

We let him attempt to do his buckel for at least 5minutes, then try to distract him long enough to push the seat belt together, click...................click...........................click

Finally

Angelo, Click

Me, Click

We are all in (hurray) it has only been 15minutes since we started, almost record time.

Next I turn around and say

" It is an hour past your bed time, so I don't want to hear anything about it being to sunny to go to sleep when we get home"

Jaxson" okay"

Liam"okay"

With that we are off. We have been driving two minutes when Angelo says" look at how beautiful the mountians look" Jaxson says energeticly " Yes, it is because they are not sleeping"

Here we go, the following conversation will take place at least 10 more times this car ride

Jaxson "it is not bed time"

Me " yes Jaxson it is actually past bed time"

Jaxson" but it is not dark"

Me " I know dear, in the summer time it is still light outside when we go to sleep"

Jaxson" look that person is not asleep" ( indicating someone walking, jumping, talking, doing anything but sleeping that he can see outside the window)

Me "Well I am not his/her mommy"

Angelo" It is bed time when we say it is bedtime" (said gruffly, Angelo is not a night owl by any stretch of the imagination)

Not only will we repeat this conversation until we get home, we have had this same conversation so many times all the player have memorized their lines. There are no surprises, no one ever says anything different. Yet we continue every night to have this conversation, LOL.

Meanwhile, Liam has taken a chocolate cookie( from Grandma) and covered his entire body in slimey chocolate saliva & stuck the crumbs to it.

During the entire car ride Hazel will be talking (to whom is anyones guess), playing with her toes, and every once in awhile laugh out loud.

While on intermission from the " Conversation" I will stare aimlessly out the window, no thinking just alot of staring. I think I am trying to gear up for the inevitable bed time antics.

Angelo is chewing a straw, I am sure he is just trying to keep himself undercontrol ( the straw gets it, not the kids)

This is our family

Girls Just Want to Have Fun

Hazel has just had her first experience with nail polish, Isn't it so cute!!!!!!!
