It's a shame that I blog only what I have pictures of. I don't take that many pictures. Unfortunately I forget things that happen. Here's an update on things that I can remember :)
Note: the pictures are all mixed because they were uploaded from my camera and my phone and I'm too lazy to upload them in order. It's easier to just do a mass upload.
The table and chairs we bought in Philadelphia at a yard sale desperately needed a makeover. So...we painted it white with black cushions. It will match our new home! (when we get there).
Before:
After:
For memorial day weekend we towed the jeep down to our home in AZ so we would only have 2 cars to get there not 3 because we purchased this 2001 Suburban. It did really well and I drove it the whole way! I was so proud of myself pulling a trailer. It was scary, but fun!
In AZ, we cleaned our house (which the sellers left really quite dirty, unfortunately) and painted our kitchen cabinets and swam in our pool. One evening Denver and I sat in the jacuzzi with the jets and heated it. It got hot! The water in the pool was too cold for me so I didn't swim.
On Sunday we went to our new ward. The building we will go to is exactly like my building growing up. Same layout and everything. It seems to be a good ward. We are excited.
Later that day we drove the kids to their future schools. Garrett and Sterling at Copper Creek Elementary school. Maybe Colson if I can get him into a free preschool there. Not sure what they offer yet.
These boys are best buds!
And Maelie at Richard B. Wilson middle school. It is actually a K-8 so we are going to apply to choice the elementary kids in our family there so they are all at one school, at least until Maelie is in high school!
These next pictures are from my phone so there may be some repeats. When Deacon's eardrum ruptured I had to take him in a couple times to get checked. Here we are waiting and he's giving me kisses. :)
For Mother's day, Sterling's kindergarten class had a mother's day makeover. Sterling putting lipstick on me.
And painting my nails

He made me an apron and the class sang cute songs for us and made a video for the moms. I'm showing my newly polished nails.
Another diaper tryke, but for a boy this time.
Father and Sons campout: Denver took all the boys, even Deacon to the father and sons campout. Maelie and I went to dinner and then went shopping. The boys had a great time. There were some big puppies there that made that huge scratch on Deacon's face. They also knocked Colson down and were licking him and the whole time Colson was screaming thinking they were going to eat him :). Ha ha
Another shot of my finished table, with the placemats.
A pretty view of a storm coming into Colorado Springs one morning.
Our new purchase. We love all the space. This came about because we took the kids fishing up at Crystal Creek reservoir (no pictures unfortunately) and couldn't even fit the poles in the back of the van. There was no space to bring much. Time for a bigger car.
We have a pomegranate tree in our backyard in our new home! This one was still too small to eat. So excited because I love pomegranates.
Garrett and Sterling had field day and for one of the races Garrett got first place! He's a fast runner. The rest are videos so not featured on this blog.
Friday Denver came home from work wearing his blues for the LAST TIME! I love the blues. Heck, I love all the uniforms. I will be sad to see them gone.
He still has 2 more days of clinic and about a week of out processing and then he is done! Our movers come next week on June 5th and 6th. We leave CO springs on June 16th.
