Updates, with some Fun!

Updates on us. As of today we have finally moved. We didn't upgrade by all means, but its a means to a beginning (if that makes any sense). We moved into my parents basement last week. Our plans are to stay at my parents house for 4 months.......wait let me say that we have applied for citizenship for Jared and it takes 4 months at the earliest! So we will be living in my parents basement for 4 months (hoping that it doesn't take longer than that!) and save as much money as we can in those 4 months! Then after we get his citizenship we are planning on moving to Australia. Yes that's right, we are attempting a huge move! Move to Australia should be exciting! Jared has applied for his master's program at a school in Sydney (which is not the capital). We find out if he is accepted her soon. The economy isn't as bad there and so there is more opportunity for a job in his field there. We are excited and hopeful at the same time! If he doesn't get accepted we are still planning on moving there and for him to become an instructor there where there are more students needing instructors! So that's the update on us. Now the fun.....On Mother's Day weekend, my sisters, our kids, and me decided to run away to St. George. My aunt has a house down there that she doesn't live in, and lets people use it. It has a club house with a pool that is outside. So we decided to make a run for the heat. Here are a few pictures. Of course you can't go to St. George and not play May-I ( a family card game)


Cute little R sleeping on the couch!
Swimming in the pool was FABULOUS!It worked out great that R swam for about an hour, and then fell asleep for almost 2 hours on some towels in the shade! Which ment I didn't have to hold her ALL the time.Me being funny!St. George has a "Crack" or "Gap" I'm not sure what they actually call it, but we attempted itIt became a little too tight for me so I couldn't help R, and she got a little scared. We ended up turning around and going out, but this is before that happened!Very independent child climbing the rock by herself! To get to the top of this huge rocks that overlook St. George!R, Mindy, and I on the rocks at the lookout point! It was VERY windy hence my hair is totally in my face!We left Friday afternoon, and came back on Mother's Day in the afternoon. It was a quick getaway, but a well needed trip! Thanks to my sisters for being very persistent and making me go!

I also need to post that my hubby graduated from UVU with a degree in Aviation-Perfessional Pilot. Great Job Honey. Her are a few pictures from our friends camera!

Congratulations babe, its been hard, but I knew you could do it!
