We Moved

So we moved about a week early. There was a miss-communication for his last day in Tulsa and start date in Kansas. So we ended up living in a hotel for a week. The kids enjoyed the mix-up, the hotel had a pool, they went everyday after school. I have to say this move was not to bad, I did stress a little. When I met the moving guys, I felt all my fears just disappeared. I was very strange to trust this men with all our stuff. I just knew everything would be okay and everything would get to the new home safely. I have to say it was a comfort to know we were being taken care of on every level.

So Dedrick's last day in Tulsa was the 14th, but he had three meeting the following week. The movers came the 17th and 18th to pack the Tulsa home, then delivered the 20th to the Kansas home. The kids last day of school was the 25th. Dedrick started the 24th in Kansas. Dedrick, Hans and Kaliska left on Thursday the 20th to met the movers. Becca, Aidan and I left Friday the 21st after school. Has you can see the misunderstanding left things very crazy. I had to pull the kids out of school two days early.

We have unpacked the new house, got the phone and internet on Friday. We were able to attend out new ward Sunday. We have to drive 30 miles to the church building in Newton. Our ward is very nice and welcoming. We signed Becca and Aidan up for baseball and swimming, Kaliska is just doing swimming this summer. So we should be staying busy.

Hans is getting use to living with this wild family. He has helped around the house and watched the kids. He is doing okay!

FYI-Becca is going to be getting her brain MRI June 17th. I will let everyone know how that goes. Keep her in your prayers!

This is the only picture I have had the chance to take!!!

New Additions

No it is not a baby.

The 1st is a new car! This is the first car we have bought together since we have been married. Dedrick's car, the same one someone tried to steal the stereo from is no more. The car has been in the family for 10 years. We were able to get a certified used car from a local dealer. It is a 2008 Ford Edge with 36000 miles. We love it!





The 2nd is my brother in-law Hans is coming to live with us! You read that right, Dedrick's youngest brother is coming to live with us. He is 20 going on 21. He is having a hard time with life, so we opened our home to him, hoping to help. I know this is going to be hard on him at first, but we hope that he will come to enjoy this crazy family! We love him and want to help!

Birthday Party

Friday was Becca's birthday, so she had her party on Saturday. This year I decided to do a joint one with Aidan. Poor guys birthday is in July, we move June. So he won't have any friends for a party. So they both got to invite who ever they wanted, there was around 15 to 20 kids. I rented a bounce house, fishing pond, clown toss for a few hours. We enjoyed pizza, drinks, cake, and the pinata. The kids had a blast and I enjoyed their happy times with friends! Thanks for everyone coming.

Play Date

On Friday Aidan's Preschool class had a family play date. We had the chance to hang out with Aidan for a few hours. We enjoyed a picnic and played many games, and then we had a great surprise.. the ice cream truck came! Aidan you are such a sweetheart, we love you!

Here is some video's of the afternoon!

Happy Birthday my sweet Angel. You were not planned for, but you saved my life in so many ways! Love you with all my Heart! (Sorry this a little late)

Car Theft

Becca was having a bad day, Dedrick just got home from being gone for three weeks. So I decided to take Becca to the dollar movies. I have never had any problems with this area before. Since it was a school night I took her to an early showing. When we came out I noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. So I had Becca get behind me, and I go marching toward the car. The thief just looks at me like I'm interrupting him(the nerve). I tell him to the get the F*** out of the car and give me what he has. He goes pale white and runs. I must have looked like a charging bull!!!

The thief must have thought I was in a show that was just starting. Boy, was he wrong! After all the hard work he did to get to the stereo, all he got was the face plate. He damaged the area surrounding the stereo, but never got it. I can not figure out how he got into the car. The doors were locked, the windows rolled up and not broken. This will remain a mystery. I'm thankful that nothing else happened!
