More updating but still not caught up!

I hope someday I can get caught up on this thing :)
Oh this girl. She just turned 8. I can't believe she is already 8. She'll be baptized in June after our baby is here.
This little guy is so obsessed with swiping my card at every store. He's actually pretty good at it too. Probably not the greatest habit to teach but the cashier's always think it's so cute!
When we pulled away from Arizona, we took about a week to make our way to Washington. We stopped in Cedar City to see Macy, then up to Provo to visit the Jarretts' and then up to Boise to see Wade's family. We spent a few days in Boise. It was fun catching up with the family. 

One day we took the kids out on the little four wheeler. Wade said he grew up on this little thing. So fun for him to have his own kids out there having fun! 

It was pretty chilly. 

Love this Nana.

Oh how I love the stage of loosing/missing teeth ;)
I stayed in the car pretty much the whole time and read my People magazine. It was so cold, but the kids had such a fun time.


Then after Boise we headed up to Spokane. Pulling in was a bittersweet feeling. We were excited to start fresh and have a new adventure, but leaving my family in Arizona was tough. It also was so so cold. The first 8 whole days we were here I never saw the sun poke out at all. It was weird. We've always lived in sunshine. Three days after we moved in, this was our view! Snow!
I really shouldn't publish this picture because I look gross, but I don't have many preggo pics. I took this picture to send my mom and sisters. I think this was somewhere around 26 weeks. 
First Sunday to church was a success. Super friendly ward and we were invited to a few families homes for dinner. Love that the church is the same everywhere you go and you instantly have a ward family. How do non LDS people move around so much??
After church this one headed straight out to play in the snow. 

First day of school was also a big success. We have fabulous teachers, a newer school that is beautiful and pristine. 
This house was unpacked and pretty much decorated after about a week of moving in. It's the way I roll.
It was extremely fun to decorate this house. Living in this old, charming, remodeled house was so fun to decorate. I never thought I would love living in a house that was built in 1917, but it's so fun.
So about a week after moving here, Wade started work and hasn't stopped being busy. He's absolutely loving this new position (Defense Lawyer). Me and Ryan wait all day for the kids to get home. Our mornings are spent watching shows and cuddling on the couch. And look at this delicious little face. He is so darling.
Here's another belly pic. 29 weeks maybe?
After a few weeks of being here, Jenny came to visit and boy did we love that. We absolutely love her! 
We have a very nice mall about 4 minutes from our house. This shoe is so fun and my kids love it.
Brooklyn received a gift card from her first grade teacher as a goodbye present. Brooklyn had her last year but we kept in good touch with her, and still do. Anyway, Brooklyn picked a few books and loves them. This girl is quite the reader.
Nothing in this world is cuter then watching Wade be a daddy. I love these two!

Wade's parents and brother came to visit since they live 6 hours away. 
I love this guy so much. 

We also live down the street from a massive urban waterfall. It's fun to be down there and walk around all the beauty. 
Gosh I love these two little blondies. They are so much fun and so cute and smart and helpful and kind. Raising kids is so hard, but these two make it a tad easier.
It's been a little rough getting used to the freezing weather but it's now warming up and we are loving it.
Had to throw this one in because I love the look of sleeping babies.
And I'll leave this post with a cute boy pretending to read a book.
