Our trip to AZ

We had a lot of fun spending time with our family and feel that we are so blessed to have such a wonderful one. We got to Arizona late on Friday the 18th and stayed at Drew's parents' house. All of Drew's siblings and their families were there so we were able to see everyone and meet some of our nieces and nephews that we have not seen before. We had such a great time seeing them all. The boys loved being able to play with all of their cousins! I don't think we really saw them the whole weekend since they were running around so much.

Sunday afternoon we headed to my parents' home. My brother and sister-in-law were there with their three kids. It was a lot of fun meeting them and seeing how they are already such a big part of the family. They are really wonderful kids! Landen and Milo became friends right away and had so much fun playing. We truly wish we could have seen Brianda and her family (Can't wait until Christmas!).

On Monday morning Drew and I left for Queen Creek so we could see a few houses and drive through the neighborhoods. It was really nice to get to see the areas and get a better feel for the place and what we are looking for in a home. On Tuesday we were only able to go inside two homes so we didn't find anything we really liked. On Thursday, unfortunately, we returned home.

It was so nice and warm in AZ, so we were really sad to leave knowing what we were going back to. When we got home on Friday it started snowing and has been cold and snowing ever since. I am tired of the cold weather and being in AZ just made it worse! We are very excited to be moving back to AZ and to be able to see our families more often. We really had an incredible visit and we love all our family very much! (Pictures in the next couple of days. Drew needs to edit them!)

craft blog

I don't like posting my crafts on my family blog so I have created a new blog just for my crafts. If you would like to check it out it is www.peaseofcraft.blogspot.com.

So brave

I took Landen to get a blood test done yesterday and he did so good. I was very impressed with how brave he was. When they inserted the needle he complained about it hurting but he didn't cry at all. After they took his blood he did get a little sick, he had to lay down for a few minutes but was fine. They were testing for Celiac disease or any other food allergies. His Doctor called today and said everything was normal. He was such a brave boy. I have been working on getting Landen to eat healthier because he is really bad about eating vegetables. He has been doing really good with that too. I told him I was proud of him for trying new foods and eating more vegetables and he told me he was proud of me too because he liked trying new foods.

Dade is doing really well. He is growing so quickly and talking so much now. He loves to copy what everyone else says. He does such silly things when he thinks no one is watching, but if he catches you watching him he will stop and smile at you. Its hard to catch him sometimes because he doesn't like to be watched doing his silly things. Dade has a lot of energy and can go on and on all day but when it comes to going for a walk or playing out side he is so slow and likes to take his time for everything.

Tomorrow is Drew's Birthday!! He has been so busy with work and school that we will be spending the day just relaxing and doing nothing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETY I LOVE YOU!!!!

We are going to Arizona in a week to look for a house and a job. We are so excited to get to see our family. I am hoping that my next post will be some good news about a house.
