Coming Soon To A Sister Wives Summer Near You...

You Won't Want To Miss It.

Danny's Birthday

So Dan had himself a rock awesome birthday.  We went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point because I'm apparently married to an 8 year-old.  But we had fun and then we went to see the new X-Men movie, which by the way, I loved.  Then the next day I took him to Les Mis because he had never seen it.  

I should probably say some cute stuff about how I kind of like my husband but Dan mocks gushy blogs.  (And I do too a little bit.)  So I'll just say I wouldn't go to the Dinosaur Museum for anyone else.

 I made him some lemon cupcakes.  Dan doesn't like cake too much so I think he ate about two cupcakes and then Nicole and I ate the rest later.

 

 

I also need to mention that not a week after Dan turned 25 I found a gray hair growing out of his head.  Yep he's an old man and I will mock him.

You can't see it, but it's there.

 I cut it out and there it is in all it's gray glory.

Highlight of Dan's Birthday: 

The cute birthday message his grandparents left on his voicemail.

New School

So just to brag a little bit.  We are being put in a brand new school next year.  And it rocks.  Yes, I used the term "rocks".  It's not supposed to be finished until August but we got to go on a little tour the last (technical) day of school.  I say that it was technically the last day of school because really our school had gotten out a week earlier than the rest of the district.  We (Garland) are moving to the new school and then Fielding Elementary had to get knocked down and rebuilt by August of next year.  So we had to hurry and pack out of our old school so Fielding could use it for the one year while their school is being rebuilt.  So both our schools got out a week earlier so we could pack everything by the real last day of school.  Make sense?  Now all of my school stuff is in nice little boxes in my new classroom waiting for August when I can come unpack and set-up.

This is my new classroom.

 

 

 They haven't hung my smart board yet.  And who knows why they gave us a pull-down screen.

 There's a stag on my door.  Mostly because Harry Potter loves me.

Repelling

So at some point when it was still super cold, say early May some time, we went camping and then repelling off some random large rock.  Here are some lovely pictures of said day.  And I swear it was a lot steeper and scarier than it looks.  Plus, Dan and I don't do heights very well.

 Dan had graduated like two days before so we decided to burn all 

his schoolwork and for some reason had to be shirtless for it

 

 Some scouts kept walking right through our camp so we got out the weapons.

Two guns, spatula, golf club, machete.

 Then we shot some stuff.

 This is how high we were.

 There were two places we repelled off.  This is the less scary one.  That actually 

isn't the bottom you can see.  It went around a curve and kept going down.

 

 

 This is the other place they repelled.  I did not.

 

 They went down face first.

Moving

So because Dan and I did not move off to California and decided to stay here a while we figured we better do something to cushion the blow of still being in Logan.  Enter: awesome new apartment.  Now I don't have pictures or anything yet but the new apartment has certainly lessened the blow of Logan.  I'm in love with my new house and the fact that it's been three weeks and none of our neighbors have moved in makes it all the better.  We only have about two friends and they came and helped us move and despite Dan's effort to get the ward all excited to come help us, only one person showed up because frankly, no one in our ward likes us.  I will share some good pictures from when we were still moving in.  You see, the first night we had the tv and couches over at our new house so we were hanging out and Nicole really had to use the restroom.  Our toilet paper had not been moved.  After like an hour though, it became desperate.  Too desperate to leave back to our other house or even the hotel across the street.  So we found what we could for her in any and all boxes...

 This was the dance she did with the the tissue paper to punctuate her excitement.

We have since gotten toilet paper.
