July & Aug Update

Well what a busy last month or so!  We got all moved to Wyoming.  Before we left we had the chance to spend a weekend with the Wilson crew at Lewis and Clark.  We had a great time!!
Packing was a little challenging with little missy unpacking everything that I packed!!  She was crawling and climbing into everything.  Then she figured out that she could walk with a little toy to push!!  It only took a few days until she was taking a few steps and now she is practically running!! Amazing how fast they figure those things out!!  She finally got her two front teeth so she no longer looks like a vampire!! 
She is a little busy body, but loves her books and likes to read them to us...even during church!!  She loves to dance and sing...she never stops making sound!! (Loudly!!) 
We are enjoying Upton.  Pete likes his new role as an administrator.  And I ended up getting a teaching job...TODAY! (School starts in 6 days!!!)  I was just going to be a teacher's aide, but the MS Social Studies teacher decided (the first day of inservice!) that he wasn't going to teach this year.  So I interviewed on the 2nd day of inservice for the job and found out that night (tonight) that I got the position.  It will be a great pay raise...Wyoming actually pays their teachers...but a lot more time than I was thinking I was going to be putting in this year.  Very excited...but nervous that I won't be ready in time!  I'm sure it will all work out! 
Hope all is well...enjoy more pictures!!

Happy July 4th!!

May & June

I wrote this months ago...but forgot to hit publish I guess...oops!!

Wow...what a different little girl we have since I last updated!  I have been pretty good about getting pictures updated on Facebook...but not so good about getting them on here.  It is just much more of a process!  Lily learned to crawl a few weeks ago and now she is going 9-0!  She pulls herself up on everything including her crib!  She loves to walk holding on to our fingers and she doesn't just toodle along....she sticks her belly out and goes!!  She has 2 more teeth...not the front tops ones, but the top sides!  I hope the middle ones are soon to follow or she is going to look pretty goofy!  We have been traveling fools.  We took a couple of trips out to the hills in May & June to try to look for housing.  We did find a lot that we liked and put a bid on it because there were other people inerested in it at the same time....and we got it!!  YAY!  We finally just found a place to rent last time I was out there, so we do have temporary housing as of Aug 1. Lily and I got to spend a week at Grandmas in June while I had a class at BHSU.  The aunties took turns watching and entertaining Lily all day!!  We had a great time and even had a chance to go to the lake and Lily had her first boat ride...loved it...not the life jacket so much though!  We had a great visit from some great friends from WI...the Willsons with 2 L's!  We took a trip to the cities to stay with Amber and visit Cousin Pete.  Lily got her first MLB game in and got to go to the zoo for the first time.  She liked the zoo better than the game.  :)  We spent the 4th with some great friends at their cabin on Lake Madison. More boat rides :) and life jackets :(! That's a quick rendition of the past 2 months...I would say I will update sooner next time, but with moving and all that...not sure that I will.
