Hello everyone! Just wanted to take a minute to let you know how we're doing. We still LOVE Eagle Mountain and are so excited to be living out here in the "country!" ;) We love the small town life around us as well. Lehi is so quaint with cute little shops and old fashioned houses. There are some great antique shops too! I am going to go broke if I keep going there! We are getting a Wal-Mart, which I am not too excited about. I HATE Wal-Mart for multiple reasons, but I won't go into that. ;)
Rick is finally able to breathe again after the big job scare recently with the city cutting jobs left and right. He is still on the lookout though for something else, just in case, so let us know if you know of anything. We had quite the scare about two weeks ago when the art gallery where his paintings are caught fire. Luckily, his weren't ruined in the fire. I think Erik Dowdle had some stuff ruined though. When I went in to check Rick's paintings, Erik Dowdle was there and I asked how he was doing. He said "As good as can be expected," so I assumed that some of his work may have been ruined which is a shame.
Hayden is adjusting pretty well to the new house and neighborhood. It's so great to have so many parks and kid-friendly places nearby. At first, all we did was go to the park and the grocery store for fun, but now we realized how close we are to things like Thanksgiving point (Hayden LOVED the Dinosaur Museum!) and Cabela's (of course I felt bad for those poor stuffed animals) and The Aquarium. It's been a fun summer so far!
I'm still not working, but looking for something part-time that I could do without the stresses of finding a sitter for Hayden. I think when he's in school, I will go back to school and get a degree in something...not sure what, but something. :)
Love ya'll!!!

Welcome to my blogspot!!
I am so excited to finally be "in" with the bloggers now! I have a million pictures that I wanted to show to family and friends and what an easy way to do it!
So to start off with news, our family just moved from West Valley to Eagle Mountain. This was a HUGE move for us, not only because of the distance, but because of the huge lifestyle differences between those cities! I still can't believe how lucky we are to have found such a wonderful place to live and raise Hayden. We have a wonderful ward (with the biggest primary in the entire church worldwide) and the members have been so welcoming to us. We just received our first callings yesterday: Rick is the High Priest Group Secretary and Ward Missionary and I was called to be the 4-yr-old Sunbeam teacher (keep in mind there are 3 4-yr-old classes, yikes!).
We are excited though to finally feel like part of the ward and to be able to help serve.
Hayden loves nursery! His teachers always comment on how impressed they were to see him singing all the words to the songs. He LOVES singing and is so good at it. :)
I haven't been working for awhile now and I LOVE it! But the extra income would be nice. I am still employed with the church, but decided to take some time off to get settled and be home with Hayden for awhile. Rick loves his job still, but it's been pretty stressful. The city is basically out of money and the citizens don't want to have their taxes increased, so they're trying to get the city to downsize their employees (which has already started taking place). It's a little scary to think that we just moved and Rick could possibly lose his job, but I know that we were supposed to move out here and that the Lord will take care of us. Rick has already received an offer to paint a mural for an architect, so if his bid works out, that could be some nice cash in our pockets. :)
That's pretty much all our news for right now. Hope everyone is well! Enjoy the pics!
