Moving Weekend

My hubby has been busy this past week. He moved us! He moved his Mom. Then we sold our Jeep to his brother, Craig, who lives in Georgia and he drove it to Oklahoma City, to meet half way. As he has been seeing alot of lines lately, he took a few moments to take some pics.

I don't have any from our move....forgot the camera.

Curt, Mitch and his friend Jake moved us Wednesday night and Thursday. Curt drove back up to St. George and moved his mom on Friday and Saturday. He made the trip up and back on Saturday, she moved to Saratoga Springs.


The hillbilly moving service. Curt is such a good packer that he packed the backs of the trucks first. They were 12 foot high of stuff...as you can see chairs and such strapped to the top. Come to find out they didn't need to pack SOOO well, the two trailers were half empty. ;)

Curt drove this truck and Joseph drove the other.

Joseph, being forced to take a picture...not too happy, in Texas

There is a Shattuck, OK and Curt went on a 2 hour detour to check it out...No true Shattuck actually lives there, he was a little disappointed, but way excited he got to see the place.


Curt, Joseph, Stephanie and Craig in Oklahoma City, OK
trading the vehicles. Curt brought back his 1999 Chevy Truck...its for sale if anyone is interested...great shape :)


All in all a whirlwind of week that Curt, especially, is glad it is over. Off the start the new job in the morning and pictures of our new place soon to come.

Coming to an End!

Pretty sure the rental hunt is over and we can officially claim our name to Las Vegas. I got a call Thursday for HR at Sunrise confirming my spot in Surgical ICU and it looks like my start date will be August 31. We spent a couple of days down there doing a little birthday celebration...my 27th...AHHHH! And hunting for rentals. I HATE looking for houses, I have never had to do this because Curt just builds them and then we move well this is a little different ball game in Vegas. But we found one that we both like, that has all of Curts requirements and also a yard for the dogs :) They need to let us know this morning if it is a go....cross your fingers for us :)

Pictures to come of the Bday Celebration and also the house if we can call it ours for a year. Visitors WELCOME in VEGAS anytime :) Spare rooms and couches and floor space :)

Night out and Basketball

It was time for our date with Briggs and Beckham. We all agreed upon Ice Age 3 : Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Off to the movies, get our treats and find some good seats. I brought my camera but forgot to take pictures. It was a cute movie and we all had our share of popcorn and soda, but that is what Aunts and Uncles are for, right? Next stop, Dollar Tree :)

I said to Briggs, Ok we can each get a toy and a treat. He replied with a shrug of the shoulders and a reply "That seems fair". Then comes the whispering to Curt. Curt says, "Yep." I look at him with a questioning look and he replies "Oh I already made a deal with Briggs at the movies that he could get 2 toys and a treat." The kid wins, what can I say. Briggs chose a cop set with handcuffs and all, gun and a treat. Beckham chose a big group of suckers, some nerds and and airplane gun. We all left happy :)

On our way to their house, there were many crys from the back seat disputing going home, neither of them wanted to, what can I say we are a lot of fun, j/k.

We get to Tawnya's and Beckham refuses to stay home, so we take Beck with us and went swimming. The people we are renting to are out of town so we can use the pool and they put up a cool basketball hoop. So Beckham and Curt played ball. Dinner was served and then it was time to convince the kid that it was time to head home. Curt told him we were going to Desert Hills (which is th development they live in but there is also a High School down the street called that) he went willingly thinking it was the high school. When I pulled in the drive way, he said "Hey this isn't Desert Hills!" What a smart kid! He is so funny.

We had a blast, thanks for letting us borrow your kids T and B.

Love ya





He made sure I was watching every shot and had to give me a high five after every basket he made :)

A need for a CELEBRATION

Friday called for a CELEBRATION. I had my first job interview in Vegas and landed the job. Jessica and the kids were more than willing to celebrate with me :)
Curt was hiking the highest peak in Nevada and I was so excited, I didn't want to spend the night alone. We all decided Pirate Pizza would be the Best place to celebrate with the kiddos :)




Brielle and Hunter showing their prizes :) There is an arcade there and we had a blast earning tickets :)

They give the kids tokens and pictures to color while you wait for the food.



Hunter, Brielle and Sophie


Thanks Jes, it was a blast!

Feeding the Ducks

Well we had a lot of rolls left over from my grad party and they had already been frozen once so we decided to save them for the ducks. We went over on Sunday afternoon and had fun. These ducks have been fed tons and are not afraid to come and take food out of your hand and even possibly attack your hand. We kept our distance.


Beckham is in heaven, I just love this face!!



Briggs and Beckham were the main feeders
Kandy and Andy


Mom, GG and Beckham
