It's feels good to be getting settled here at my Mom's house. We still have tons to move and deal with back at the house in Layton. Though,for the most part everything can stay put until the house sells.
August 23rd, 1st day of 2nd Grade
Olivia is in love with her 2nd grade class and is making lots of new friends. She really likes her new teacher Mrs. Noyce and Muir Elem. It's been a great transition for the kids. Jorja is still pretty obsessed with following Grandma Launi around everywhere. I think she is afraid that since we moved in, Grandma is moving out. She finally stopped asking if she can still sleep here. She was asking every night were she was supposed to sleep. So, she is dealing a lot better. The kids are very happy to be here and I think it's been good for all of us.
We spent last weekend at Aunt Stephanie's cabin up by Strawberry Reservoir. It was a lovely weekend!
We dragged Colin along with us to help Josh cut down trees. Josh and Aunt Stephanie made a deal. She bought him a chainsaw in trade for his manual labor to get firewood and clear dead trees around the cabin. He thinks is a GREAT deal!
The boys had WAY too much fun cutting trees. They cut some small dead quaking aspens and one very large pine. It was so tall and pretty exciting to watch come down exactly where they wanted it too. Josh was so nervous he was shaking after it came down. They cut that huge pine into smaller pieces and split all the wood. They broke his maul doing just that. Boys and their toys... I don't get it. It was beautiful and lovely to spend some time up there. It's a nice spot and it was good to get to know Aunt Stephanie more. Of course we even roasted marshmallows and the girls had a blast!
Josh is currently asleep and I'm awake in a very quiet house. It's odd. He is usually the one awake and I'm begging him to turn something down so I can find some peace. He went hiking with his brother Jared up Centerville canyon last night. Kicked his butt! He came home trashed this afternoon. He said it was amazing and they hiked to the peak of the mountain. I can only imagine the view! But, he was probably asleep before the kids were tonight! Ha ha!
