I've Decided...

That I really like Spokane! Yeah. Jandon and I have done some fun things since we are both together here for the first time in a month! We have found our way around (most of the time) the downtown area is so fun and there is so much to do and see in a very close proximity. It is nice to live so close to a real city again. (Sorry to everyone in Provo) Our apartment is wonderful. I almost have the old lady smell all the way gone. LONG STORY! The weather has been great...not too hot not too cold and it even rained yesterday and is supposed to rain tomorrow. So, I have decided this is going to turn out all okay! I don't start school till Sept. 22nd, so I have got a few weeks to hang out. The most exciting thing is Valerie and Brendan are coming out the weekend of my birthday! We are going to have so much fun and then they will want to move here too!! Wishful thinking...

Batman Again...

Jandon and I went and saw The Dark Knight today at the IMAX theater downtown today and it was awesome. We saw it with Jaden right before he went on his mission and loved it! Jandon loved the Joker and thought he really made the movie. If you haven't seen it yet--you must. (Unless you get scared easily. And no kids!! I couldn't believe how many little kids were there today. It is just pretty intense.)

Going Home

I am getting ready to go back to Spokane tomorrow! I think this is the longest I have lived with my parents since before I got married. It has been really fun and we have stayed busy. Emily and I picked blackberries yesterday and they were delicious! We got chased by a horse at the same time and that was not FUN. I don't know why Emily and I are so afraid of all the animals here! You can tell we really grew up in the city! I did collect an egg from the chickens yesterday and I was pretty proud of myself for that victory!

Aren't They Adorable!?

6/30/08--The twins! Julia Lynn and Dallin C Berg. (Geoff and Kaye)

7/2/08--Sadie J Kane! (Emily and Andy)

8/8/08--Peter Niel Mitchell (Jerem and Amy)

It has been so fun to have all these new babies come this summer. Especially since I have quit my job and just been able to hang out with them and enjoy their cuteness!! Sadie even got to ride in the car with Jandon and me when we came back to Albany from Portland. She was so good the whole time! She is smiling a ton and has the cutest dimples! I will have to get a picture of that too! We were also here for Dallin and Julia's blessing which was so fun. All six of us siblings were there! They were so good and just slept the whole time. Peter was born only a couple of days ago, but we were able to see him on his birthday!! We went to the hospital and he has the cutest blond hair! They are all so adorable and we are so glad that everything went well for everyone involved!

Happy Birthday Mom!

My Mom is the big "60" this year. I can't even believe it. I am so glad that I live close enough to my parents to be here for her special birthday. By the way...I have the best MOM!
Don't you guys love the high quality bibs they used in the 80's...aka dishrags!

Tisk Tisk

Okay, so I have been a horrible blogger! I have had a lot going on, but at the same time nothing going on. I was in 6 states in the matter of 3 weeks. I am back in my old hood of Provo right now. I can honestly say when I first moved here I couldn't wait to get out of here and move on with life. Jandon and I had some of the best times here and I think we both enjoyed our experiences here a ton. I am excited to start a new life in Spokane, but I can still miss my old life too, right? Jandon and I will be heading to Portland shortly to see Jaden before he goes on his mission. I can't believe how times flies. When Jandon and I started dating Jaden was barely 11! I can't wait to see baby Sadie--baby Dallin--and baby Julia when we go to Oregon too! So fun to have so many sweet babies all at the same time.

P.S. I remember why Jandon and I never moved when we were living in Provo--we hate moving all of our stuff and then unpacking! It is a pain!

P.S.S. I love Diet Coke

New Babies...More to Come

Dallin

Julia

Geoff and Kaye welcomed their new babies yesterday! We have been waiting for them and are so happy that everything went well and Kaye was able to have them both naturally!! Little Dallin and Julia look so cute in their pictures and I can't wait to see them this weekend. As I write this my sister Emily is in labor trying to get her little girl out! All these babies oh so little time to visit all of them!

We Are Here!

I have finally made it to Spokane. It was a long trip, but with the help of Michele we were able to get here. We are about 90% moved in--so that is good. I need to put all my clothes away. You never know how many clothes you have until you have to move them. (and to think of all those mornings before work and I couldn't find anything to wear) I am sad to leave Provo, but I am excited to be here. We are closer to family so that is exciting. Our new apartment is much bigger than our last one. Our 2nd bedroom is already our office. Jandon has his desk and I have mine. It is good that he has a place to go and study and not be bothered. He is already studying hard and has a midterm on Thursday. I am going to register for my classes tomorrow! Scary!

My Week!

Lunch at Red Robin! They love to make silly faces! Yes, that is my 12 year old niece and we look the same age! What is the deal?!

Hayden and Madison. I had to bribe them so they would sit closer to each other for a picture!

More silly faces! They had a tickling contest to see who was the most ticklish!

Laughing Contest! Madison won and was almost undefeated all week.

I have had a good time in Redding. Michele and Gavin will be back sometime tonight. They have been flying home from Europe all day, so they will be very tired I am sure.

Happy Medium Anyone?

I have seen High School Musical and High School Musical 2 like 5 times this week. The kids love it. I hate to say this, but they are actually really cute movies. Madison loves Gabriella! She will try and do the dances and it is so cute!
