Moving Madness

So, I haven't posted in quite a while.  It's because we moved into a new house (well, new for us) and it has been quite crazy, to say the least.  We are still not completely finished with the process . . . we need to empty out our storage unit since we now have a basement and garage for our storage.  We love having a house with a backyard for a garden and a sandbox for Michelle (and Lena occasionally, with help) to play in!
We have also been travelling to pick up stuff in storage in both St. George and Tremonton, at my parents' houses.  And in between we have tried to have some fun.  So here are a few pictures from the last month!

Watching a movie with Carly.  Grandma Thompson came up with Carly and Gabby to help babysit while we moved in.

Michelle plays with Gabby.  She is going to miss them . . .they moved to Prescott, AZ right after this!

First order of business was to get the play area set up for the girls.  The play set was a much appreciated hand-me-down from my Uncle Ken!

Now Micki has her own slide, in her own backyard, and she takes full advantage--daily!

In St. George Grandma Moore had Lena laughing uncontrollably.

Sunday afternoon we went to Pine Valley Reservoir, Summer and Josh and Morgan came too and everyone had a good time!  (Princess in the background, and Uncle Josh, not pictured, and two of Michelle's favorite friends.  She even referred to Josh as "My friend Josh."

My Dad fished and drew Jim in for some deep conversations (or some BS, who knows)

Grandma blew bubbles for all the grandkids.

Jim fished with Travis.  He actually hooked one, handed the pole to Travy, and then it got away!

Madison shared her cowboy hat with Lena Mae.

The 4 of us went swimming in Grandpa and Grandma's pool.  Michelle looks happy here, but she mostly wanted to stay on the ladder.

Michelle splashes Mommy, Lena LOVES the pool and swimming with Daddy (or Mommy).

Grandpa and Grandma Thompson came up to celebrate the 4th of July!

Grandma ran through the sprinkler with the girls.

Grandpa played with Michelle on her play yard.

After dinner we did fireworks in our front driveway, the first time we have ever been able to do that since we've been married.  The girls liked it, Mom LOVED it.  Dad handled it because Mom LOVES it!  Thanks Jim!

Michelle got this cute look every time we lit anything but the sparklers . . . not scared, just . . . concerned.
