Oh yeah, Bree and I have been hitched 6 years now. Nearing those double digits soon. So here we sit in steamy St. George, sickly and stuck. I always like to make some kind of note for Bree on these types of days, so here is this years:
Inspired by that semi-annoying Bare Naked Ladies song.
If I had a million dollars to spend on Bree right now, it would go a little sumpin' lika dis:
Bree's "Dream House" in Kirksville. $185,000.00
Brand new, no holds barred, Honda van: $48,000.00
She has always wanted to be on What Not To Wear. So I would pay them, cause there is no way that she would qualify on her own to be there: i figure about $10,000.00 for the hosts to take her out and I would double the shows allowance for another $10,000.00 and to pay or the rest of what it would cost I would fork over another 10 grand, just to round it out.
She has eyeballed one of these:

another $45,000.00
Pay off all our debts... some more, lets just say $30,000.00. We don't owe that much, but I like to plan ahead.
I would buy her a Hibachi restaurant. What do those cost? $200,000.00?
She wants a big TV, so maybe one of Sony's nice ones $10,000.00 once we get the speakers and stuff.
Her *grumble grumble* Macintosh. $6,000.00 once we fancy the pants off of it.
Make-up and other bling type accessories. Like the watch that she always says she wants, or a necklace... don't let her fool you, she doesn't wear them, so once she figures that out she might have gone through about another 10 G's.
I would then get her a work out room, full of weights, mirrors and all the cardio stuff she could through a stick towards. What around $60,000.00?
Hot tub. $30,000.00.
Laz-e-boy leather recliner. $8,000.00 (I'm making up most of the costs here).
A new cell phone that is somehow grafted onto her body, never to be lost, set down, sucked on, or dropped again. With all the minutes she wants. $1,000.00
Whew, I haven't even scratched the surface of the million, but you get the idea. There is nothing too good for my wife of my life. I would just give her the rest and let her go hog wild.
I love you sweetheart. Someday I will get you something nice for our anniversary. Promise.

B's 10 things
These are 10 things that make you know Bree is a Mom. And the greatest one around too. All moms have these to a certain extent I think.
- She can resolve conflict in about 2 seconds. We should put her in contact with the middle east.
-She has this knack of seeing into the future. Especially when bad consequences are about to come about because of what is happening. "Swinging the kids around by their arms and legs, someone is gonna get hurt."
-She has super hearing, she can hear the kids cry even before they think about it. See also the above item.
-She wields full given names like a broadsword.
-She can scold with no words whatsoever. She can be having a pleasant conversation on the phone with someone and wither the offending member of the family without altering tone of voice, using only her eyebrows and a few very well understood finger-jabs.
-She has memorized the words to about 50 kids books.
- She could hold an in-depth philosophical discussion over the strengths and weaknesses of the Wiggles approach to entertainment versus the take that Super Why holds. She won't, but she could.
-She manages the finances, which somehow allows much more expenditure in the areas of clothing and toys than in other areas such as the Husband Lunch Fund. (I am joking).
-Her abilities to force a minivan into a crowded parking space rival those of NASA astronauts.
-She looks fabulous ALWAYS.
We love you Bree, and hold you in the highest regard this Day of Mothers.

We made it
We have settled into our new place and we are absolutely loving it. We have found out that both Hallie and Annie love change and have been so good about going to a new house and new rooms. They are in heaven. We have been running from cousins house to cousins house and they never seem to get tired of it. Hallie has said a couple of times " I love living in St. George!"
Tyler has also been in heaven cause he hasn't had to work yet. He has cleaned his bike and is now working on our van. They both look awesome. Plus, the weather is awesome so he gets to ride the bike everywhere.
Of course you all know that I am in heaven. I just got done unloading and loading our new dishwasher. It took all but five minutes. Our dryer dried within 35 minutes and the clothes smelled great. We unloaded our van and only had to walk about 4 or 5 steps rather than the 450 steps it took back in SLC. And we have vaulted ceilings so our apartment feels rather large! Now don't get us a wrong, we absolutely loved living there and miss all of our great friends. But life right now can't get any better.
We will continue to keep you updated and hopefully we will find everything sooner or later to update photos!

The move is finally here!
I can't believe how quick the past two weeks has gone by. We are finally moving tomorrow morning and we couldn't be more excited. Mostly because the weather is so much warmer down south. We have had snow the last two days now. I guarantee that in the next month or so we will be wishing we lived back up here so we can have the cooler weather but as of now it is more than inviting to have warm heat!
Last Saturday we had the chance to go say good bye to our good friends the Huntingtons. Hallie and Annie love it when we go there and were not happy about leaving. Once we got in the car Hallie cried and told us that she just wanted to live with them. She is going to have a hard time leaving all her friends but change is good right? I sure hope she does good with it or else we will always be the bad guys with how often we are going to have to be moving in the future!
Annie has no idea what is going on. Other than the fact that all her toys are packed up and she has to always ask us where stuff is! She is just excited to be going to see Grandma's this weekend. I think her cup will be over flowing when she grasps the idea that we are going to be staying there for awhile!
Today is Tyler's last day at work! He has loved this job but is so excited for Med school that he has no problem moving! One of the Doctors that he works with gave him a stethoscope and he wore it all day. He loves it. Hallie was fascinated with it and Annie just kept running from it and yelling "No Doctor!"
Anyway, We are going to miss everyone here in Salt Lake and really hope that you will keep in touch. We will keep our Blog updated and will keep checking yours. And feel free to come visit anytime you are in the neighborhood (St. George or Missouri)
