Memories of me!
I'm not sure who will actually do this--but I hope you do. It's fun to think of past good times, or bad for that matter. I guess it makes us who we are. So, humor me, and leave a memory. It doesn't have to be a big, fabulous memory, sometimes the little ones are even better--just a memory.Here are the directions:1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. Just let me know which you prefer.I can't wait to see what you write!
The last day of August
Hello, we hope this finds all well. Today is Sunday that seems to be the day that I can update everyone on how we are doing.
Today I was the only one who went to church. Robbie started throwing up when he woke up this morning so Kennen and Sid stayed home with him. The only reason I went was because I had to teach a lesson in Young Womens. I am greatful that is over with for a while. I only have to teach when there is a 5th Sunday which don't happen all that often.
Robbie is doing good in school, he has started cursive and is struggling with that. The teacher stopped me on Friday and she gave me the book to bring home so that he could practice here. He is doing better with it but gets frustrated because he can't connect the letters. He does well if the letters are seperated but has a hard time putting them together. He has started playing with some of the boys at recess and he says they are nice. I ask if they are friends and he keeps telling me that not yet mom I have to check out everyone. It is pretty funny. But I am greatful that he is making sure that he doesn't have bad friends. Robbie LOVES his scout group and his leader is adorable. She says he is doing well in there and it is fun to watch the boys interact with each other.
Sid will be starting pre-school on Tuesday. He will be attending the child development center of Natrona county. They will work with him on his speech as well. We put him in the afternoon class so he will go to school from 12:30 -3:00pm that will give me enough time to make the 20 minute drive back to pick Robbie up from school at 3:30pm. Sid still loves the play group. He has some really cute friends that he always wants to go and play with. He asks all the time can we go to Jeanettes house mom so that me can play with Lindsey and Jackson. It is cute. This morning he woke up and told Kennen and I that it is almost a holy day. We both started laughing and asked a Holy day, we told him yes it is Sunday today. He got mad and yelled no its almost a holy day. Then we realized that he was saying it is almost a holiday. Pretty funny, he is a silly little boy.
Kennen is doing well, we are both going crazy without doing anything and can't wait to get into our house so that we can be doing things. He is planning out all of the landscaping and storage room plans and storage shed stuff already in his cute little head. He is working long hours but he enjoys it. He says that he is learning lots and enjoys that. He is one that loves to learn and try out new things. He still hasn't received a calling in the ward but says that is okay. He is the one that usually has had the "big" callings and I don't so he says that it is okay that the rolls have been reversed. He enjoys going to church and listening.
As for myself, I am doing very well. I have had an extremely positive experience here. The ladies are wonderful and so are the men. I love going to the activities and participating in them. I had Kennen go with me yesterday to Home Depot to buy a lawn mower because I have finally got the lawn green here(okay only the front, I will not step foot in the backyard do to all of the dog poop). I cut a lawn for the first time in a month it was so nice to be doing some yard work. We are still living out of boxes because I am not unpacking then packing again in a month. which has been an interesting experience. We all feel as if we are camping, all the time. Okay, so I taught my first lesson today. SCAREY So there is a reason that I did not become a teacher or anything to do with getting up infront of other people. I do not do it well at all. I really stink at it to be honest. Hopefully one day I won't be a nervous wreck and blabber all the time. I don't even make sense. It is crazy.
Our house is up, they did run into a little problem so we are on hold mode. They poured the foundation for the house and the garage together. They put the house on the foundation and put a window for the front room in and put it so that it is between the inside of the garage and the outside. So now they have to move the window and redo the inside wall and outside wall because they have to close that hole and make a new one. They are still saying we will be in by the first of October. There is a new picture of the house on this page. We love driving by it and watching the new things go up.
We are hoping that you all have a fabulous Labor Day weekend. As for us we are going to try and go to Mt. Rushmore that is if Robbie begins to feel better. If we go I will be sure to take lots of pictures so that you all can see our adventures. We love you all and hope this finds everyone well.
Just remember "It is all good" If any of you want to come and visit we would love to see you. We do have new phone numbers so email me or mail me something and I will give you our new phone numbers. Have a great day and talk with you soon.

How are we?
well hello all, I thought that I would update everyone about what we have been up to.
Robbie's first week of school is over and he is doing okay. I spoke with his teacher and he seems to be okay she said that there is one girl that keeps calling him names but other than that he seems to be adjusting. He loves scouts and has made friends in there. This past week was pack meeting, they held it up Casper Mtn. It is very pretty up there. They had a fire and dinner and awards it was a very nice evening. Robbie is counting down the days until we are in our own house. He is not the only one.
Sid is Sid. He has decided that he needs to cry every time we leave a place. Which is funny cause most of the time he doesn't want to go there in the first place. He and I meet with the preschool this wednesday about starting there and also for his speech. He doesn't want to start school "me am still to little" We had another first today with him, he went to primary today. He loved going to the play group last week so we are planning on attending again this week.
Kennen really enjoys his new job, That is very nice for all of us. He really likes Casper and this ward. This ward here is amazing. We have really enjoyed it the last month. The people are fun and very nice. There are some people from our last ward that was amazing as well and we miss them a ton.
As for myself. I went to young womens today, okay it wasn't bad. The sisters were very nice and the girls are cute, fun and participated it was neat to see them. The program is very small today there were 5 girls. They say the most is about 9 girls. I also enjoyed the play group and I have a visiting teaching route and those sisters have been very nice and helpful to me. I call them up on a regular basis and ask how do I get here or were is this located. This week I have been invited to a scrapbook party, Ice cream social, play group and we are going visiting teaching. They do a ton together, and they don't exclude anyone. The ward is little.
I hope this is a good update since I am new to all of this. There are some probably wondering why we are in Casper. Kennen was offered a new job here the first of July and we were gone by July 28. It was very fast yet we both knew that it was the right thing. Our house sold within 2 days of putting it up on the market and we came here and found us a house okay not quite a house but a lot and the floor plan of a house. It is in the process of being built. We are all excited for a new house and one that is our own. Robbie is wanting his own bedroom and he has all of the plans for the decorating already so when we move in he can get it done. He keeps telling us that we have to have a room for Bec cause she keeps saying that she is moving up here with us. So we are planning on a room in the basement.
We hope all is well with everyone. Remember it is all good.
Love you all.

Casper Wyoming
Hello from Casper. All is going well here. Robbie started school on Monday and still hasn't made any friends. That breaks my heart. Sid will be starting preschool soon so I will be home alone for a couple of hours a day.
Kennen is loving his job. He works long hours and that is a big adjustment for the boys and I.
We have a foundation. YEAH!!!!! Hopefully we don't have to be in this stinky mouse infested house much longer.
I was just called as the YW secretary and camp director. I am not so sure about working with girls. I like the boys and scouting so this will be a huge adjustment.
We hope this finds all well. when I get time I will post pictures. as of right now I need to go get breakfast for the boys so that we can get them off to school.
