Happenings!

I need to preface this post with a disclaimer saying that I realize some of my pictures are blurry. For some reason our camera decided to start taking blurry pictures. But, I got a tip from Corey this morning that I might be getting a new camera for Mother's Day! So, that will be exciting. Anyway, I wanted to just write a quick update on us and post a bunch of pictures from the past six weeks. We have been doing well! We sold our VW vanagon and now we are trying to sell our treadmill. We are basically going to try to get rid of everything we can before we move, because we don't want to have to pay to move stuff (junk) across the country. So, we will probably be having a yard sell in about two months, so look forward to that, and I'll keep you posted. We have exactly three months until we move, and we are still in limbo with how we are going to afford graduate school. We have to wait until May 9th, when Corey can register for his classes before we can get some answers from financial aide. And, we are still waiting to hear back about two stipends. Corey has also looked into the Army Reserves, and so far that looks like the best option. We have put in all the paperwork (TONS, and TONS) and we are waiting for Corey's weigh-in to be scheduled sometime in the next two weeks. So, cross your fingers and send a few prayers our way.

 Addie asked me the other day, "Mom, what's your dream?" (She got that from "Tangled"). It made me want to cry, cause I've had a lot of dreams in my life and I've been blessed to accomplish them! But, Corey going to Nurse Anesthesia school has been our dream since I met him seven years ago. Addie has been having a hard time with accepting that we are going to move. About two weeks ago, she said, " I don't want to go to North Carolina, I will miss my grandma, so let's just not go, okay"! So, when she asked me what my dream was it was a perfect opportunity to tell her that Daddy going to school is our dream and that we have to move to North Carolina to do it.  We are being careful about what we say around her and trying to keep our emotions in check so that she will handle this move without getting too upset.

 Other than that, our kids are growing and changing everyday. Jack is five months today! The time has flown by, and he grabs for EVERYTHING! He only rolls over when he wants too, and he is working on sitting up. He has started eating solids, and loves the sweet foods, like sweet potatoes and banannas. Adelynn has learned how to write an A, and she draws pictures, and stays busy with projects everyday. 



Cute Kids!

 I left the water on and was lucky it didn't overflow, Addie just thought it was COOL!

 Goodbye Vanagon, we sold it to a nice couple from Park City!

 Dying Easter Eggs!

This egg says Jack on it.  

 We went to G & G Anderson's two weeks ago (Addie calls her Grandma with the Puppy Dogs), and we had an Easter egg hunt. She was excited to find this egg!

 Uncle Kayden was a ton of fun playing on the trampoline and hiding eggs for Addie.

 

 Adelynn dressed her brother up like a princess!

 He LOVES his toes!

 Miranda Stoker, Kayden Gauger, Cameron and Makayla Green, and Adelynn, they had an Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma Stoker's

 Jack's new swing, Addie loves to push him in it and he just giggles!

 Grandpa Stoker was great at hiding the eggs!

They both LOVE ice cream cones!
