Still Going!

Ok! So it is official! I am bored! I am blogging and I have absolutely nothing new to tell! Ky is still doing great! Blaine is still handsome as ever. We all still have the same activities, blah blah blah! Of course that means that I do not have any new pictures to post because who photographs nothing? Well, I am looking for some hobbies. Nothing too strenuous or that requires me to sweat. HA HA! I also need to watch the money flow. I find that the more bored I get, the more I find myself at Target. I think the people think I work there. We still love it here! The weather is perfect. I love being warm. We do miss our families. But, all in all, we are still loving it!

Whew! That is over with!

We have had a fun and busy couple of weeks. School started last Tuesday! I was nervous for Kylee, Blaine, and myself! I was nervous about hating 7th graders; I was nervous that Blaine would put too many people in their places on his first day, and I was nervous that Ky would be all alone! Well, to make some long stories short, we all had a great day. In fact it has been a great couple of weeks! We all really like our schools, and have made some great friends. 

More importantly, last night Blaine had his first game! It was a rough first half but THEY WON! It is so hard to know how things are going to go with boys we don't know and playing teams we don't know much about. The second half was much better and the team looks great! We hope things keep going in the right direction. I had the biggest headache after it all! I think the whole starting school, Ky going back to dance, and first game gitters finally came to an end last night. I know there are many more games (and headaches) to come, but it was nice to get these first couple of weeks over with! 

Moving out!!!

Yep! That is right! We have to move out! Why? Because if you notice the picture somewhere on this page, we had a pet visit, and I don't like pets, especially ones that do not fit into the animal category! 

A Tarantula! Can you believe it? Sooooooo disgusting! 

My mom, dad, and niece Alyssa were visiting this weekend. My dad was coming in and out of the house moving stuff from the car. He called for me to come to the front door and there it was! YUCK! A tarantula on our front porch! My dad had put one of our glasses over it to trap it. I could not sleep all night. I kept having that Brady Bunch vision playing in my head. You know the one where the Brady family goes to Hawaii and a tarantula latches on to all of their stuff. Eventually the tarantula is climbing on the bed sheets towards Peter Brady as he is sleeping. He of course wakes up and freaks out! Yes! That was the vision in my head all night, and for the past three days! 

I have been on the lookout for snakes since the day we got here, but it seems that I underestimated the power of whatever kind of category that falls under. Spider just does not quite cover it! 

Check it out!

Finally! I have some pictures to post. I am so technology challenged that posting pictures is really an all day chore. Anyway, the most intriguing pictures are probably the ones of Ky's allergy test. She was a mess the beginning of this summer. It did not matter if she was here or up North. She was totally miserable. I took her to an allergist and he did the test (see the pics). In a matter of 5-6 minutes she had full on hives! She was itching so bad, and there wasn't anything I could do. The doctor said that she was basically allergic to every plant and every tree! She has to go through this major series of shots (which are not that painful, but there are just so many) for about 2 years! She has been such a good sport! We can already tell a difference. She is feeling much better! 

Se habla Espanol?

Please don't laugh! I am writing this post as a response to Leann (my sister-in-law). She is so hilarious! She just talked about getting packages from the "brown Santa" AKA the UPS man! I, too, love online shopping and getting packages! Whenever I get a package, Blaine announces, "It's Christmas time!" He exaggerates and says everyday is Christmas around here. The funny thing is this time I ordered an online Spanish program. I am trying to learn Spanish, but I do not have time to go to a class. I do not have a person to speak Spanish with, but oh well! We will see how it goes! If you would like to post in Spanish, feel free! It may take me a while to figure it out, but it would be good practice, right? 

OHHH POOP!

This sucks! Sorry to those of you who do not use that phrase! We barely have had a chance to get settled and find some time to relax, only to start tomorrow! Blaine and I have to report for meetings tomorrow. YUCK! It is still pretty hot, and who can think in this heat? But I guess it is the reason we are here. Blaine was on the radio today talking about football, blah, blah, blah! It was fun to hear him. We also got a visit from our good friends Zac and Amy! It is always nice to see friends from home. Kylee is getting excited for school and has made some cute friends. We hope all goes well with her at school. It is definitely going to be different for her. 

Kylee says "HI" to all and call her and text her as much as you can! Or post on the blog! Have a great week!

SO MUCH FUN!

We just had the best week! Lexi (one of my DT girls) sent a text that a bunch of them were coming down. Of course I could not let them roam aimlessly around St. George. So, they all stayed here for the week. We had Lexi, Bailey, Nikcole, Calli, Timbre, Viola, Collette, Sabree, and Stefanie! WOW! I hope they had as much fun as Kylee and I did. It was so good to see all of them and to hang out! We went swimming, eating, shopping, eating, lounging, eating, and boy watching! (not me, but Collette and the girls). Kylee loved hanging out with Timbre. They giggled all week. The girls went to Blue Bunny and ate 26 scoops of ice cream. The dessert was at least 2 feet high! It was crazy! They will get their names on a plaque that is displayed in the store! 

 They left on Friday and we were very sad. It is always hard to see our families go! Kylee becomes so sad and it makes me feel terrible! But it was such a great week! WE LOVE ALL OF YOU! THANKS FOR COMING AND PLEASE COME AGAIN!
