Our Funny Life

Our house is almost complete! Just a few things here and there to put up on the walls and a few extra little items to purchase and I think we will have a nice little home. We are now just awaiting the arrival of baby “O” which could be in the next three to five weeks. One can never tell. But until then we just have everyday stuff to do and complete.


As usual Isabelle is a hoot. She is just so much fun. She would like to dress herself but cannot seem to make that happen with her own clothes so she uses Mom’s or Dad’s as an alternate source. She could not quite get her whole head to fit into one of Dad’s sleeves so she ended up being “Sister Mary Isabelle.” We thought it was pretty funny.

Oh and to top things off I will show you how big my belly is so far. We still have a little bit of growing time to go and I am sure that it will only continue to get bigger. In the mean time we just try to make sure that baby “O” is happy, fed and comfortable. Baby “O” has been sitting pretty low through most of my pregnancy, which has not been too bad except for times when there seems to be a lot of pressure. The doctor thinks the maybe that means labor will go fast because the baby is sitting low. Only time will tell.

We're Here!

The long awaited update is finally here. We have “settled” into our new rental house in Utah and are now just trying to get back on to a regular schedule. So far so good, we are really enjoying the extra space of the house, now if only we can get rid of the boxes and paper we will be doing a great job. Once those are gone I will even be able to park my car in the garage. What a relief that will be come winter time. All most everything made the move in great shape, just a few bumps and scratches here and there by nothing overly traumatic. Not like the last time when the washer and dryer did not make as well as the computer, just to name a few. It just took us a little longer to get the computer internet ready, but here we are so feel free to e-mail us any time.

Isabelle seems to be adjusting well to the changes we have placed on her. She is starting to sleep in a big girl bed. And by bed I mean a mattress on the floor. We do not want her to roll out of bed just yet and fall very far. But soon Grandpa Libby will be sending the remainder of her bed to us and we can hardly wait. She has requested a custom made toddler bed for the duration of the toddler hood, until she graduates to the next size up. It should be pretty exciting.

Our house is nice, like I said it has so much more space. We are actually able to have the hide-a-bed and foosball table in the house this time instead of in the garage. Plus I actually have a room to start out with for my office/craft space. What a great deal. And to top it all off we have a back yard, YEA! It is not just concrete and two and half feet of weeds. There is grass, a deck, a wonderful arbor where Isabelle has a swing and even some fruit trees. Plus it looks like they were going to put in a water feature but never got it finished so we are going to use that space for our garden. I can hardly wait. Have you seen the price of veggies at the supper market? Plus there is a sandbox for Isabelle which she absolutely loves. She just can not get enough of the outside world as it is and now she does not really have to worry about it, she can go outside and play whenever she wants.

Needless to say this move has been much easier on us than the move from Texas to California, and me eight months pregnant, but I guess a lot of that has to do with the fact that we had been through it all once before. Ben’s job is going well, if he could only get them to do what he wants and run their operation how he knows it will be successful, they will soon find themselves running at the top. But change is hard on everyone and he is still the “new guy” even though he is the boss. I think that this new challenge for him will be great and that his operation will come around to where he wants it to be.

We hope that everyone will come out for a visit to see us. After all soon we will be adding a new addition that is just always better to see right away so we can all measure growth. Now we even have a place for you to stay. So come to Salt Lake and we will see the sights, oh look a Mormon Church, and visit.
