Bye Bye Mommy/ New house pictures

My mom left yesterday. I hope she had a good time. We didn't do a lot of fun things because it was just to hot. It was great having her here, she helped clean, put away stuff, unpacked boxes, made dinner, played with McKay, babysat McKay and even played with Bella. I realize we didn't take any pictures of my mom being here or her with McKay. So I guess I will just post pictures of my new house and some things we worked on while she was here.

I put up all my Willow Tree angels up. We have to be careful because McKay loves to climb up my shelves and knock everything down. Looks like we will have to build higher!

My mom helped put Connor's shadowbox together.

Well... I got selected to stay in the West Valley...

Does it ever end???

So my mom went to the cemetery to see Connor's head stone. It wasn't there....It's been 2 1/2 weeks since it was finished and dropped off. After doing some calling around she found out, there was a big fat fee waiting for us to pay....Yuck!! $245 + $90= $335 Seriously? It will be a miracle if we make it through this school year without taking out another loan, which I don't even think we can. We are already short more then $1,200 this month.

My mom to coming!!

My Mom is coming tomorrow!! My mom had already booked her tickets before everything had ended. So hopefully we can have a good time. I hope it will cool down some so we can have a good time!!

Sunday Afternoon Fun!

OK, so I wanted some grand blog post. This isn't really it, but it's time to post something new. I just keep getting further behind.

We have had a lot of new things happen in the last few weeks. We went back to Arizona, we moved into a house, we had to pay a lot of money to get out of an apartment, Michael started his second year of Medical school, and we still have to decide if we are going to be moving again in 9 months (that has to be decided in the next 4 days). That's just to name a few things.

Anyway, I will start off with today:

We went to church this morning. Going to church has been really hard lately. It's an emotional roller coaster every week. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but very draining by the end of the day.

That aside -- on to the cute stuff! So there's not much to do on Sunday afternoon. We got spoiled in Utah with cousins every Sunday night. I really wasn't going to let McKay get to wet, because it's Sunday. Bella, McKay and I were just playing in the backyard. I got a Tupperware tub and filled it with water. I thought McKay could just splash in it and I could put my feet in -- because it is HOT!! Well, McKay had other plans, he hopped in and thought it was a pool party. Oh well!

I was done being outside and McKay was soaked. I started taking his diaper off, but it was too late. Michael informed it was poopy. So I really couldn't put it back on. I didn't want to carry a bare-bottomed poopy boy back in the house, either. So.........

I just sprayed him down with the hose! The best part: He thought it was fun. By the way, hose water in Arizona is NOT cold.
