Before and After

Lots of fun pictures...

This is the cake I made for 4th of July.  This was our 1st holiday together with out any other family and I wanted to do a little something so we could celebrate.  

 We went to this fun park on the 4th as well and played Frisbee and kicked a ball with Anna.  Aren't the parks up here gorgeous!

 Yes Kali was asleep so she stayed in her chair in the corner but I loved this picture of the trees.

 Hey Mom

 My little look alike.  I honestly haven't thought she looked like me much until I put her hair up like this.  Now I can see it but when she was a baby I didn't see it at all.

 Anna climbed to the top of this all by herself and I had to take a picture cause I just know how crazy she is.

 This is our living room before the movers brought everything in.

 All 3 bedrooms were empty.

 She was SO excited to see her bike.  She got right on it and started peddling I was very impressed.  She couldn't do that very well on her own before we left.

 Our living room after.

 The girls room still.

 We had the missionaries over for dinner and I made them rolls.  Anna was my little helper.  I'm glad she likes to help even if it's hard sometimes.

 Love it.Going to Costco in Style...I also posted this on Facebook.

 Fresh raspberries, yum...from Washington.

I want to note that Zach has officially been working for a month now here in Renton.  I can't believe that much time has gone by but at the same time it almost feels like it's been forever.  Now many people are probably wondering how it feels to be without any family.  Honestly I haven't minded not being with Family because I get way more time with my own family and with Zach and ya I'm selfish and I don't like to share but it's been really great to get to know my girls better and Zach.  The only hard thing is finding someone to watch my girls.  But we are finding some good friends and I think over time we will figure that out.  I wish my girls could play with there cousins but at least they get to skype family every now and again.  We also look forward to times we can be together with other family but overall I feel it's great to be here even if just for a few years.  Oh and I DO NOT miss the heat.  Honestly I would not choose to move to the Mesa ever again if we didn't have family there but only time will tell.  I will also have to see how I like the winter here.
