It's Official!

Yes, the rumors are true.

We are moving to Utah so Chris can go to Physical Therapy (PT) school.

His school is in Provo so we hope to live in either Orem or Springville.

Having never lived there we'll have to base our decision on their elementary schools.

I admit, I'm a school snob and want only the best for my blondies!

School starts May 10th, so soon!

Chris will be moving all by his lonesome as Tater's school doesn't end until June 2nd.

A whole month as a bachelor and a whole month as a single mom!

I'm not afraid of my blondies!

It's a two and a half year program, begins in May 2010 and ends in December 2012.

We'll be back in AZ before we know it!

T&T are excited, well...mostly.

When I broke the news to them Tuck says,

"What the hell?"

Lovely.

I don't think it's registered that they're leaving their family and friends.

They'll find out soon enough.

But we're excited.

A little nervous.

Looking forward to the gorgeous summers dreading the arctic winters!

It doesn't matter where we live...

As long as we're together!

Valentine's

How cute are these!?!?! I LOVE how it looks like Tucker is really holding the sucker! SO cute! Tatum's finished product is coming soon!

Lemon Juice

When life gives you lemons FIRST get your goggles and THEN make lemonade!

Jersey's Christmas

For Christmas Santa and the Grandmas gave sweet Jersey flowers for her headstone. It's sad for me to go to the cemetery and have nothing adorning her little spot. I don't want people thinking we don't take care of our princess! I think they're prefect, girly...so fitting.

Little Friends

These two are so cute together despite their age difference. Tatum is 6 and Lauren is 3. Lauren is the little sister Tatum doesn't get. I love how they're both in their frilly pink skirts and how Tatum is reading to Lauren. Tatum is always so attentive to Lauren, it kind of stings watching them. The way Tatum lightly puts her hand on Lauren's back guiding her and how she alters her voice at times while speaking to sweet Lauren. I'm thankful Tatum has her, I'm thankful for the small opportunity she gets to feel like a big sister!

Jakey's Blankies

This is Jake, sweet angel Jake. His mommy, Liz, and I decided that Jake and Jersey are married in Heaven. Don't their names have a nice ring to them, Jake and Jersey? We certainly think so! Silly but we figured since they were bff's they might as well be hitched. Anyways, when Jakey died his family asked for donations for "Jakey's Blankies" and had a huge response. These aren't just any blankies, the material is AMAZING! I'm an adult and I want one of these blankets. The tiny patients these blankets were made for fell in love, so did the parents. They were such a hit the heart unit is in need of more. Please visit Jakey's blog if you are feeling generous, and even if you're not visit anyways! =) http://tylerelizabethdennison.blogspot.com/2010/01/jakeys-blankies-donations.html

Tucker's Birthday

Tucker Sam turned 5! I can't believe he's already 5! Nonnie made this collage for him, he's so handsome and old looking.

I feel like a bad mom, pictures taken of his cake and his birthday party some how disappeared, I'm so sorry Tuck! For his cake he chose to have a green light saber across the whole front. It said his name in the Star Wars font, he loved it.
His birthday fell on a Saturday and when I asked him what he wanted for dinner, thinking I'd make him his very favorite he replied, "Red Robin, they have my favorite food." Can't argue with the birthday boy. Off to Red Robin we went with Nonnie and Papa. They sang to him and gave him his very own ice cream Sunday. While they sang they made him stand up on his seat and raise his hands in the air. He felt like a King! He's really into Star Wars right now and got a few Star Wars Lego kits, they really hit the spot. I also got an MP3 player and has been rocking out to music ever since. His most favorite thing he got were black cowboy boots. He's been begging for those since before Christmas. He loves them and shows them to anybody and everybody!

He's a hilarious little boy full of energy. He loves being outside and riding his bike. He loves to tuck in his shirts and show off his missing teeth. He can't wait to start kindergarten and wonders when Jersey will come alive again. He loves his hamster, Rose, and thinks there's nobody cooler than his Dad. He wonders why he can't swear or beat up his sister and is often my biggest helper. He's a tough little guy and so independent but such a snuggler who loves his mama. His sister is his best friend and hopes to one day be a baseball player. He's a very hands on kinda dude and how we love him!!!
