A lot to catch up on.......

First up - the move.....

We have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to really sit down and post anything. First of all, at the end of May, we moved into a larger condo for the same price we were paying, until we plunge in to buy a house. We are now living in north Mesa, and we are liking it. I must say though, that I was a little bad tempered about moving, and I am sure Shawn wanted to strangle my neck. I just hate moving so very much, and I loved our old place and our old ward. We will miss the Lindsay Villas, well, I will at least. It was hard for Keely to get used to sleeping in a new place, but by the end of the first week, she was just fine.
At our new place.
Taking a break when moving.




Still Working.....

I have taken on new responsibilites at work. Since I had Keely, my friend and I split my full time job up in half so we both could work part time from home, but she recently had a new baby boy, and it was a lot for her to handle. So I took back the other half of my job. So basicaly I am working a full time job, in 3 hours a day. It was a little overwhelming at first, but now that I got myself organized, it is much better, and things are running smoothly. So now instead of working half of Keely's naptime, I am working the full 3-4 hours, so it doesn't seem like I ever have any down time. Let's just hope I don't burn myself out. I keep telling myself I will do this until Shawn is done with school, because it is really nice to have the extra money. So we will see how it goes.

Birthday....
My birthday was May 26th and I am now 22. Doesn't even really feel different. It is weird that I have been graduated for 4 years. Time just really seems to fly. It makes me feel old when I hear that Celeste Reidhead is engaged!

Swim Lessons....
I put Keely in swim lessons the first 2 weeks of June. I thought it would be nice to get out in the sun everday, and for her to be with other kids. My friend Courtney did it with us, or I should say, I did it with her. Keely did okay, but I learned that she is really defiante of me. She will do things asked of her for others, but when I ask her to do something, look out tantrum. I have no idea what I am doing with being a mom, but I sure hope I figure it out soon, because we just went to Target today, and we had yet a major break down.


Goodbye car....
Since gas prices have gone up considerably, Shawn has really been thinking about getting a motorcycle, and I finally gave it, but I told him first we had to sell our Lincoln LS. Well it sold Saturday, and I was kind of sad. It was a really nice car, but we can't afford to have both the Lincoln and motorcyle. It also took Premium gas so we were paying up the wazoo to drive it. So ya, I guess you can say that Shawn is pretty excited about getting his motorcycle. He needs to remember what a wonderful wife he has :) I will post a picture of him when he gets it. For some reason I have a hard time picturing him on one, does anyone else, or is it just me?
Here are some of my favorite pictures of the past month of Keely.... She is so funny.

Miss fix - it. After watching us, she thinks everything needs fixing.




I love these two pictures of her with her sunglasses.
