Life's good

Well the big move took place and we are in our new home. It is good to finally be here and not go back and forth everyday painting and moving stuff. Well we still have lots of stuff in the garage that needs to come in and be put away but hopefully it will get done this weekend. We spent last weekend at Grandpa and Grandma Wood's for Easter. It was a much needed break from "house stuff" and the kids needed some TLC. We colored Easter eggs, played UNO and basketball and ate lots of good food. Thanks for the great time!

This week is Spring Break althought the only thing that appears springy is my tree in front yard with its yellow blossoms. It has rained everyday and even a little sleet yesterday. Needless to say, Alex's baseball practices have been chilly. We have been trying to do something somewhat fun each day. Monday we made cookies - which doesn't happen often. I eat way to many so I avoid it altogether. Tues we had some friends over and went to the YMCA. Wednesday to kids went to a friend's house and I finally painted the red stripes in the boys room and today we are headed to see the Dr. Suess movie. Who knows what tomorrow holds. Any ideas?

No pictures with this post. My computer is down so I am on a temporary one till the part comes in. Hence the delay in my blogging. Can't wait to get back on track.

Sizzle Sizzle Boom

Yes, I know it has been awhile. I apologize to my regular readers, Aunt Marilyn and Scott! Life has picked up and when I have a moment to blog, I am brain dead.

We have been busy getting the other house ready for the big move. All we are doing is painting, but when you have a two year old apprentice it takes way longer than it should! Hopefully we will finish up this weekend. The blinds come next week and then it is moving day. Can't wait!

Two weekends ago Cris' mission companion and family came to visit from N. Idaho. They hadn't seen each other in over 12 years but kept in touch. It was good to finally meet Matt as Cris often talks of the fun times they had together. Their boys are the same age as our boys and are sports nuts as well. The boys only took breaks from playing basketball for a quick bite to eat and drink and then the game was back on.

This past weekend we went to the Idaho State Boys Basketball Tournament. My Alma Mater the, Burley Bobcats (Zach calls them the Burley Bobblecats), were defending their first place title from last year. They were victorious once again ending the past two seasons 53 and 1. They even had a slam dunk during the game. Who said white men can't jump! The boys were in heaven attending lots of games with Grandpa and Grandma. It looked as though half the town of Burley was there to support. Gotta love small town sportsmanship! In prepartion for the game I was teaching the boys the fight song. When I said the phrase, For it's High High High Sizzle Sizzle Boom, Cris gave me the strangest look. I guess I never realized how silly it was. So it is now a popular phrase in our home. The boys learned most of the song and were able to keep up with the band.

Here are some pics of the kids. Cris took the boys to the Globetrotters Game a couple of weeks ago. I told Syd we needed to fix her hair for church and it appears she didn't need my help. I just saw ten years into the future.
