A field trip to the fire station

In between moving and unpacking boxes, we went to the fire station with Bailey's preschool group. It was nice to take a break from everything.  The fireman made sure that each kid was not afraid of him in his uniform and that they knew he was a good guy!

they climbed the fire truck

And Nick loved spraying the fire hose

 

A fun little trip to learn about fire safety

 

 

 

And a sneak preview of what we have been up to

 

We have pained almost every room in the house, and I am nearly finished with a few rooms to do some before and afters....

 

 

New homeowners!

We are officially new homeowners. Here is a picture of the house we just got the keys to....

We are VERY excited to be getting into our own home finally! more pictures to come as soon as we move everything and get settled

Aebleskivers and conference

We love aebleskivers in our family. They have always been a "special" breakfast when we visited Grandma Parsons house. They are like a round fluffy pancake ball. She would get out the aebleskiver pan and make as many as our hearts desired and with 4 brothers my family could go through quite a few.

Then my mom started making them for breakfast before general conference twice a year. We always knew that we would get them conference morning.

With my parents not around, it was finally my turn to make them for my family and keep the tradition going. And they did not turn out too bad!


Here is the dough in the pan

 

 

 

And here is the pile that is done...a little syrup and they are delish!

 

 

 

 President Uchtdorf  and all the speakers gave excellent talks. There was a lot about strengthening the family and marriage

 

We had a really relaxing weekend and enjoyed all the uplifting messages we heard.

Tumble tots

Today was the first day of Tumble tots. It is a class that Star parks and rec has available to sign up for. Both Nick and Bailey wanted to join and were excited to do some tumbling. When we got to the class we knew all of the kids except one...that is what is nice about being in a small town!

Today was just the first day of a 6 week course. It is only once a week for 45 minutes, and it seemed plenty of time for these toddlers.


They start by running around the mat
- Nick did good by keeping up with the rest of the bigger kids
