A day out on the lake.

One of the many frogs we saw that day.





Adams parents had this cute ore for Alaya.
Alaya loved being with Adam when he was paddling.


Our mouths are full of sunflower seeds!

Here is our Canoeing trip that we took. This lake is about 5 mins from Adams parents house. There are so many lakes and rivers around here, it is just crazy! Alaya at first had nothing to do with getting into the canoe then Adam told her it was like Pocahontas, then she got right into the canoe. She loved it! We went around part of lake shore and was looking for frogs. We found a few but they were just too fast. But we did see this one that we couldn't get to cause it was so shallow but too muddy to step in the water. But I was able to snap a cool picture of it. Everything is going good here, just staying really busy. Adam is working 3 jobs, I am doing massages and taking care of Alaya. It has been raining a lot here so not many days outside. But hopefully after May it will be more sunny and warmer. Well hope everyone is well and I will try to update again sooner!!

Sorry, Alayas face is kinda fuzzy!
I look way tired in this picture, oh well.

This is how I found the dog the other day. Alaya took all the kitchen towels and covered the dog up with them. Jasmine is such a great dog for Alaya. Alaya always is bossing her around telling her what to do. Sorry the picture is sideways.
I came to the library today to do a huge post of some things we have been doing these past couple of weeks and I forgot to upload all my pictures onto my computer before I left the house! So I will have to do it later this week. Hope everyone is having a great week!!!

Walking in the woods


Alaya jumping on the tree

Everything still looks a little dead in this picture haha!


These are the woods behind Adams parents house. The woods scare me first of all expecially that I have a kid. I have a fear of getting lost in the woods! Anyways we have gone on a lot of walks on this trail behind their house and it is about 2-3 miles and Alaya will walk the whole thing. All the trees are finally blooming and everything is becoming way green. Ill post more pictures once everything is a live and green

Oh my word! It has been forever since I have blogged, I almost forgot how, haha! Well here is an update of whats been going on with us. We are staying here for the summer, in Maine. Adam is working with this guy in our ward doing remodeling in houses. He also has an interview with this sports store this Thursday as well working part time. He is also wanting to take a crash course for EMT out here this summer. Its about 10hrs a day for a week and half, we are trying to find out more about that. Cause he wants to have some kind of skill before we go back to Utah and before he starts school in the fall. Alaya is having fun playing outside and with the dog and cat. All of a sudden about a week ago she started having accidents in her pants again. She just gets so distracted with playing and everything she forgets. It is driving me crazy though!!! Oh well I guess give it more time!! She goes on walks with us in the woods, its about 3 miles up and down hills. She loves it and it also wears her out! She is also at the great 2 and half stage of just not listening and throwing her fun tantrums. I am doing good I just got 2 callings in our new ward here in Maine. I am going to be the Valiant 10 teacher and in achievement days for 8-11 year old girls. Yeah I am the only one doing both of these callings. So my weeks with just be about planning lessons and things to do. So I will be pretty busy with that. The weather here is becoming way nice, today it is in the 80's. Everything is blooming and the air smells like summer! I love it!!! Well we hope all is well and I will keep u updated more because I found out I am able to bring our laptop to the library!! They have High Speed and wireless here!! yay!!!

Finally an update!

So we are now in Maine! We have been here for 2 weeks today. Everything went good when we left. We packed up everything on sunday night, monday moved everything into our storage, stayed monday night with my sister, Tuesday we left at 5 am for the airport, flew to Chicago with a 2 1/2 hour lay over there, then arrived in Maine at 6:30 pm Tuesday night. We will be here for the summer just working and saving money for Adam to start school in the fall.
The weather here has been on and off of being nice. One day it will be high 50's with sun, next will be low 30's and snow and rain. We went down to Boston last weekend to spent easter with Adams Nana and it was snowing huge flakes. I told everyone that we bring bad weather with us where ever we go, SERIOUSLY! When we moved all out stuff into storage it snowed the night before and was way windy and FREEZING when we were loading and unloading everything. Then when we got to Maine the weather was so nice, then the next day Rain, what the heck?
Sorry there are no pictures I have a lot from Easter and since we have been here but the internet is so slow (dial up) that it took me an hour just to get to this page to write this. haha! I honestly didn't know dial up still existed.Hope everyone had a great Easter and pray that summer will come FAST!!!!!!!!
