Life without a home:)

So we are officially homeless! we were out of our house by the 17th, and in with my inlaws! It was the craziest week of my life! Thanks to all the people that helped us move! and ya know i think the best thing EVER was getting a PACKRAT! those things are awesome just packit up and they come and get it! that was super easy...we had to get a storage unit as well for all the really big stuff. I can not believe how much STUFF we have! the house looked a lot different when everything was out. I am sad that i did not get to use my new basement at all, and I am really going to miss my neighbors! I had the best circle in the whole world!!! i really hope our new circle will be just as nice. My sister said i have nothing to worry about cause i will have her:) so i hope that is enough.....the kids have been really sad to be gone as well, they keep asking when they get to go home.. it is really sad..but they are really loving being with grandma! she SPOILS them rotten! they ALWAYS want grandma...we are all in a room in her basement and believe it or not but we have plenty of room for all of us plus our 2 closet thingys plus some toys! it is sooo nice to only have to pick up ONE room and not 4!!
anyway Samm graduated kindergarten yesterday and was sooo cute! i am so proud of her and how well she has picked up everything! she is an awesome reader and writer. She is really excited about first grade(and so am i!). Sammy is really excited to start soccor with some of her friends from the ward! it will be fun to watch her and see if this will be her sport.
We decided to keep parker home for one more year. he is not ready for kindergarten and matt does not want him to be little for sports. Matts bday was in july as well and HATED being the smallest and youngest in his class and when he played football...Parker has really struggled with going to preschool too. he is such a homebody...i was going to have him do kindergarten twice but decided against it when we moved so he would not have to move schools during the year.
Aubrey was going to start preschool but now we are not gonna do that either....I tell ya this whole moving thing threw us off:)
My sweet Haven escaped out of my mother in laws house and almost got hit by a car the other day! so i now have to train my kids not to go in the street cause when we lived in the circle is was not that big of a deal if you went in the road..and there was a ton of kids and parents around..now we are on a busy road and no kids outside...so it was pretty scary! her big bro saved her..THANKS PARKER!!
well i dont get on the computer much but i will keep ya'll posted on the house, and life...'

Thanks for the update... Glad things are going well for ya. Yeah- guess you have to teach road safety if they are running out in a busy road now.

How long until you start building the new house?

It was so nice having you guys over for my birthday and I appreciate you being involved in all the crazy birthday activities. It was nice to read about the kids and all that your doing. Let me know if there is ever anything I can do for you.
