Bug's 1st birthday in June

I just thought that I'd share her 1st birthday with you. Grandpa and Mima Payne drove up with aunties and Uncle Cameron to help us celebrate Allison's 1st birthday. Their rear passenger side tire blew out twice along the way. I was so afraid that they would turn around and go home, but they trecked it out and were able to get the van towed to a tire shop in the middle of the night.
We took the girls to a sprayground to play for a while before we ate and celebrated. Kallyn LOVED being able to play with water without having to get into a pool. Mommy loves that the kids can get wet without the worry of falling into the deep end of a pool.
Allison couldn't wait to get messy and eat the cake, but I think that she enjoyed the "Messy" part all too much. Over all it was a great day and we really enjoyed having my family to visit. Kallyn likes to be the spoiled niece!!

We made it!

We'll we're here! The move wasn't too crazy besides the girls throwing up nearly the whole way. We were in Nauvoo for Kallyn's birthday and she threw up her birthday cake and icecream from dinner, but she was a trooper! She and Allison both traveled very well otherwise. I think that Kallyn watched "Bridge to Terabithia" at least 20 times and add "Matilda" and "Mary Poppins" about the same amount. I am so tired of those movies. Even after we got the DVD player set up at our new house she still insisted on watching "Matilda" everyday! She can spell D-I-F-F-I-C-U-L-T-Y rather wel because of it.

Both Kallyn and Allison LOVE the new house. Every morning they run from one end of the house (out of thier bedroom) to the other end. They stomp their feet as hard as they can. They love to hear the house rumble. (we have a cellar we call the Dungeon)

Eric starts school next week. He's been in orientation all this week. We have met so many new faces. Many other students are married with kids so I feel like I fit right in. One of the largest groups/clubs at the school is the SOSO club (Spouses Or Significant Others club) which is funded by the school because there are so many families of law students that need a support group.

Miss you all so much. I hope to find time soon to post more pictures. It is absolutely GORGEOUS out here! The downside is all the spiders! AHHHHHH!
