June

It's been a busy month and I can't believe it's almost over. Paige and Kevin turned 4 earlier this month and they had a great birthday. Thanks to Nana and Grandpa, Noni and Papa, Grandpa John & Grammy and everyone else that called.

These are some pictures of the kids before church. I thought the girls hair turned out pretty cute.

Darci's hair is getting so long!

Here are my cute girls with their pretty hair (thanks to Nana)

The kids have been having a lot of fun going through Grandpa's garden to see what huge vegetable is ready to be picked! This one is an aremenian cucumber that Derek found. It was pretty good!

Tad took the boys up to Rigg's Lake with a friend the other day. They had a really good time and caught a couple of fish.

Hello Thatcher .... Goodbye Albuquerque

So for those who haven't heard we are now in Thatcher, AZ. It was a quick last-minute move. Tad had been looking for a new job in Albuquerque with no success. We heard that one of his brothers was moving back to AZ so he started looking for jobs in Thatcher to be closer our families. A few quick trips here and an interview later he got the job. They offered him the job on a Thur night and we were on the road the next Tuesday. I had training all day Friday and half day monday and church half day Sunday. So I had Fri night, Saturday and half a day on Sunday to pack. We loaded up the U-haul on Monday and spent the night cleaning and packing up loose things and left Tuesday morning. He needed to be here for a few days to fill out paperwork and get settled.

We're as settled as we can be for the next few weeks. We're staying in Tad's parents' rent house next to their house through the end of the month. Then we'll be in between his parents house and my sisters house in Mesa. Hopefully by then I will have a job and we can find a house to rent.

We were able to get Derek on a coach pitch team and he had his first game last Thursday. It looks like Kevin will be able to go to preschool everyday for his speech. A friend of our teaches ballet so we'll be putting Paige in that (if she behaves herself).

Paige and Kevin turned 4 the day we moved, so we celebrated their birthday here. I'll post pictures when I can. They had a lot of fun.

Darci

arci got sick a few weeks ago with hand, foot and mouth disease. No idea where she got it. Luckily she wasn't fussy with it, especially since she got the blisters in her mouth. She had the classic symptoms... blisters on the hands, feet and in the mouth. She's all better now.
