Family for Thanksgiving

I dont know what we were thinking we moved into our home and had two weeks to get settled before Thanksgiving and i think because we were so excited to be in a home agian we thought it would be a great idea to invite people for thanksgiving. So we started out signing up to feed the missionaries and inviting Uncle Paul and Aunt Patti for dinner. We then invited Adams parents to come up if they wanted to come. And why not keep inviting and invite Sarah and Lance and there family also. It would be a houseful but im sure it would be fun and it was! This is the first time in the 8 years that we have been married anyone has come to our home for Thanksgiving and we had a houseful. But it was fun and we had lots of delicious food. I would do it agian in a heartbeat.

Adams parents came up earlier in the week and brough Natalie and Brooke with them. Anne and I spent the week in the kitchen making just about anything you could think of christmas candies, pies, dinners etc. It was so nice to be able to spend some time with her. Tom and Adam entertained boys and talked about gardens, played with there phones etc. Natalie helped Anne and I in the kitchen cooking, baking etc. And we all enjoyed having a toddler in the house agian.

The day before Thanksgiving Sarah and Lance's family came up and we celebrated Hunters 6th birthday. The boys could hardly stand the wait for the Milners to arrive and when they finally got there Thomas, Noah and Hunter were inseperable. I thnk that they will be buddies for life.

Thanksgiving day Uncle Paul and Aunt Patti came up and the missionaries came for dinner we had a houseful but it was so fun to be around so many people that we love.

The day after thanksgiving everyone left and our house was quite. We were all tired from all the excitement. But we look forward to the next time people come to visit.

I feel very blessed to be lucky enough to marry into a family that is so wonderful. It is always fun to get together no matter how long the trip is. I love my family all of them and look forward to the times we get to spend together. So who is coming next year?

Welcome to our New Home!

We are so excited to say that we finally after much looking and looking have found a place to call home. We have been going to the Silver CIty 2nd ward since we got here and we wanted to stay in that ward if we could but it was starting to look like that may not be the case everything we looked at was well......lets just say not very desirable. We had finally made up our mind that we were going to trust in the Lord and where ever we found a home that was where he needed us. The day that we decided that we found a wonderful house to rent and the best part it was in the ward we wanted to be in. It was being remodeled so we had to wait a few weeks to get moved in which worked out fine for us. We are so excited to have a little bit of room for each of us and get settled in. We are going to miss the boys little friend Forrest from the KOA but plan to invite him over to play. We live right down the street from the school that the boys will go to so that is wonderful we will be able to walk to school each day. I just have to decide when i want to enroll Thomas at Stout.....wait till the end of the school year or move him after christmas break. We are excited to get settled and have a somewhat normall life back. We are loving being in Silver City we love it here and hope to call it home for a very very very long time. The weather has been wonderful and deer walk through the neighborhoods it is such a peaceful quite little town.

Thomas 2nd 1st day of school!

Since we moved to Silver City after Thomas started school at Benjamin Franklin Charter School he know has a second 1st day of school this time at Harrison Schmitt Elementary school in Silver CIty New Mexico. His new teacher is Mrs. Scott im not sure how the schools are here but im sure Thomas will do well with what ever is given to him. He is such a smart little boy i love to watch him figure out things. You can just see the gears going in his head. Here is to hoping for a good rest of the year in Kindergarten.

Happy Birthday Thomas

Six years ago today i got to hold my little Thomas for the first time and realize just what love at first sight really is. I never had a clue just how much i would grow to love him, but today i can honestly say I love him more today then I ever did 6 years ago.

Top 6 Reasons We Love Thomas

1- He is so silly most of the time

2- He amazes us the things he is able to build out of his erector set ie.eiffle tower, tractors, cars, motorcycles etc.

3- His desire to learn and know how things work

4- His love for his family

5- He is so kind to those around him especially his little brother Noah

6- He brings such a sweet spirit into our home

We love Thomas desire to choose the right and to be kind to those around him. He is such a sweet little boy and doesnt like to see anyone hurting. He loves to build things with his erector set and legos. He loves to play with his transformers with Noah. We love you Thomas thank you for all the joy that you bring to our family.

This year Thomas spent his birthday at Uncle Lances and Aunt Sarahs with Aunt Margie and her little girls there as well. Since were were getting ready to move to Silver City New Mexico.

1st day at James Hamilton Construction

Adam started work today with James Hamilton Construction. Right now he is working in reclamation at Chino mine in Silver City New Mexico. We are excited to be here and so far love everything about the town. Uncle Paul and Aunt Patti live in Deming about 45 minutes south of here and they are letting us stay in there 5th wheel until we find a place to live. We have been so very blessed the last little bit and we are so very thankful for family. If it wasnt for Uncle Paul I dont know that we would be here right now. We are excited to live so close to them to get to know them a little bit more. So for the time being we are staying in a 5th wheel at the Silver City KOA it will be quite the adventure i am sure. The weather is beautiful right now in the 70's and the boys are loving all the time they get to play outside.

Quick Trip To Silver City New Mexico

Adam got called yesterday and asked if we could be in Silver City New Mexico for a job interview today with James Hamilton Construction. So we loaded up the car and headed to Silver City. We needed to be at the office at 1230 and we drove into the parking lot at 1220. It was a different interview as they interviewed Adam with me and the boys in the room with him. And when all was said and done it was a 5 hour process. In the end it was very worth it Adam was offered the job and they wanted us there is a week! So we went home...packed and packed and packed and packed. Put all of our belongings in a storage unit till we could find a place to live. And made it back to Silver City in time to start work bright and early Sept 7, 2010. We are very blessed and know that we are being looked out for by the Lord. We look forward to this new adventure in our life and cant wait to start it.

Thomas 1st day of school

Today was Thomas first day of kindergarten. It is hard to believe i have one in school already. We chose to put Thomas in Benjamin Franklin Charter School this year and think that it is a good choice. Thomas picks up on this so quickly he needs to be challenged and we think that BFCS will do that for him since they teach a year ahead. Thomas teacher this year is Mrs. Cenzano you can tell she really loves what she does and is so good with the students. We look forward to having such a good kindergarten year. We love you Thomas and we are so very very proud of you. I know that you will go far in life.
