Keenan's 1st tooth!

So it seems like it has taken seriously forever for this tooth to come in! I swear it was starting to come in in like January but here we are, the end of April, and it finally came in! How great! It just goes to show how different kids are. Damon was a teething machine, and started getting teeth about 4 months old, and didn't really stop until they were all in just about. He's also getting his two year old molars but he takes pain really well. He's my strong little boy. Loves to be rough-housed. It looks like Keenan has a mustache in this picture.

Bikes and Buggie

Yesterday Juan and I went bike shopping. We initially went to Wal-mart to get an alarm clock. His old one was always sizzling. We had talked about getting bikes a little bit, so I told him, lets go look at them. WE found some, but he wanted a clicker type gear changer that you do with your fingers and not the hand. So we went home, and packed in the car. All of us, and Colby, Trisha and Noah and went to Idaho Falls to the super Wal-Mart. Juan found the one he thought that he absolutely needed. So he thinks anyways. So today was an awesome day outside. Sunny and Beautiful! Juan put together the bike buggie and we were on our way. We went all the way to the Wal-mart area, and then took another rout back, much shorter I have to say. It as so fun. I couldn't stop laughing because the buggie is so funny.

Keenan Laughing

So here is a little video of us making Keenan laugh.

Making Tamales

So this past week, Trisha and I decided to make tamales. hehe is what you think. I know. But hey, I've made them once before and they turned out pretty good. So thought we would try them again, and see how they are. Their still cooking right now so not sure how they turned out yet. But here are some pictures of us making them.

April Snow Showers

Here we are at the end of April and guess what? Not rain, but SNOW! How fun I think. Its been snowing all day, but not really sticking. It melted in the morning, and just now, it started up crazy again. Bring it on, I got my snowboard just waiting for me to ride! haha, yeah right, I keep saying that, with kids, when do you get a chance to go? It just doesn't happen. I'm glad I got 4x4! Its gonna be a great couple of years.

House Pictures

So here it is! Our home in Rexburg. There's the boys' room and our room, and then the front of the house. We are on the top which is great for us. We can have the same entrance, or we have out own on the right side of the house. So that's the one we use all the time. Enjoy.

Change is Good, for the Better

So we are done now! It the place where its all happening! Rexburg Idaho. It has been so much fun here so far. We liked the ward, but it was so weird to be just young married couples. Juan actually met someone in our ward that he went to grade school with in Othello. Crazy for him, but he was stoked about it. Everyone experiencing it all together. I love living back in the city. I mean I'm a country girl and all, but you can't complain about the store being just a couple minutes away. And what a saver on gas bills. I guess it goes to the rent now. So I'm going to post a few pictures in a couple of days, when I get things a little bit in place and order. But here's the jist. We live in the upstairs of a house. So its like a Duplex. 2 bedrooms, and a nice sized kitchen. We are loving it and loving the free cable and High speed Internet. Things you just don't get when your poor and live in the country. Its amazing! We can actually watch videos on the computer without them taking forever! Anyways, Juan had class today for the first time and loved it! Of course, so different from Columbia Basin College. I've been trying to get things back in order as far as therapies for Damon, medical all taken care of, and things like that. What a big ordeal to take care of but its got to be done. Here in the pictures, Damon is a little daddy's boy. Love's to be with dad. Here they are in the U haul. Our U haul and Juan's car, and loading up the truck!

4 Generations

Well I couldn't just have a one sided generation family picture. I was supposed to get Grandma and Grandpa McGary also, but it didn't happen. So here we are, My grandpa Floyd and his wife Janie, my mom and dad, Juan and I, and the boys. It was so great that they came down to visit. They came down just for us. We appreciated it so much! Love you guys! It was a great weekend with 80 degree weather, BBQ, and volleyball! So much fun! What we always love to do. BBQ.

Final Days

Well were at our final day in WASHINGTON! On Saturday we packed up everything. We borrowed Tyson's trailer and what a joke that was! We filled it up and we hadn't even got everything out of the living room! HaHa! So we headed to Othello and had to rent a U haul truck! Its so funny! we got a trailer to pull Juan's car also since he'll be driving the truck and I'm in the Explorer. Thanks to all who helped us! Janae I already miss you! I had to take the tumble forms back to mesa today and I was so tempted to drive over there but I resisted. We had a family party yesterday and we ate all day long! Not even joking! Ahh nobody went hungry though! My dad also put up the volleyball net and that was a hit. It was so much fun! It was so great to see everybody and it was our final goodbye! So sad! We're gonna miss those family parties!

Packing, Packing, Packing!

So today is a big day to say I guess! We got lots of things already packed for the move, but, more needs to be done. Mom's coming over today to help, and tonight, Juan and I are going to get the trailer at Tyson's house. Were so exciting, but I can't believe it has come so fast. Juan received the Heber J. Grant scholarship through BYU-Idaho, so that's going to be a great help. We've been so blessed in so many ways. We know this is where we need to be for sure. Tomorrow were packing up everything pretty much because we can get a lot more help tomorrow rather than Tuesday night. And it won't be as stressful.

5 Generations

Yesterday my mom and I headed to Walla Walla to go and visit my great grandma house and my grandma also came down from Cheney. It was a fun little visit. My grandma and I went to Wal-Mart so that I could get some soft yarn. She's going to knit the boys little hats to match their coats. I'm so excited! She made one for my uncle and it turned out so cute! We came back and then we all went to lunch at a little diner/restaurant called Colletta's I think by Whitman college. So here we are in the five generation photo we took. Those don't happen very often. I'm going to get a 4 generation one Sunday with my Grandpa.
