A little excitement

I haven't posted anything for awhile, because I am a blog drop out! No, I am just kidding, I just haven't had much to say. Anyway, today something happened that I thought was worth blogging about. I was talking on the phone to my good friend Elise when I saw a little shadow through the curtain. It looked like a a scorpion.... I said a few choice words into the phone and told Elise there was a scorpion in my house and I had to go. I knew I didn't have the guts to squish a scorpion, but I hoped I could muster them up. After taking a better look I realized that it was just a harmless little gecko. But was still very freaked out by the little reptile. I called my mom and told her, then I tried to call Jason who didn't answer. I called my sweet sister-in-law Heidi who came to my aid and brought her son over to catch the little creature. He deposited him in the backyard where I wouldn't be quite so freaked out by him if I saw him back there. I can always count on Heidi! I know she thinks I am a big baby-but still rescued me anyway! She is such a great sister-in-law. Here is a picture of the little bugger. You can have a good laugh because it is a tiny little thing. By the way, when I tried to post this before my computer freaked out and disconnected from the internet, so sorry for the tease.

Olivia and William

Here is a recent picture of Olivia and William. William just had his 2 month appointment. He weighed in at 11 lb. 12 oz. According to the growth chart he is tall and thin. He is growing so fast. Olivia just loves him. She loves to make him smile. The other day she said, "you gotta see this mom-he's smiling at me!"

Swimming Lessons

Olivia started swimming lessons last Monday. At first she was a little freaked out about staying in the water, because they can't touch the bottom they just have to hold on to the sides. She kept getting out, but by Thursday she thought it was a party. It is especially fun because her cousin Brynn is in her class. They have a fun time together, while Heidi and I try to stay cool in the triple digit weather. Heidi stays for a couple more hours while her other kids are busy in classes. I go home as quickly as possible to get to the air conditioning.

Scorpions.....

Ok, so I have to say that I am a little freaked out about the scorpions. When Jason got to Arizona he killed three scorpions outside of the house. He had the house sprayed before I got here and we thought the problem was taken care of-at least for a month. (you can get sprayed once a month) But on Saturday Jason was standing outside the screen door and Olivia and I were inside getting our shoes on to go outside. We were all just standing around-when Jason started freaking out- I quickly closed the door and Jason killed his fourth scorpion! Then late that night Jason went into the bathroom when he saw and killed another scorpion. Needless to say I am a little creeped out. Scorpions are not nice little creatures. Anyway, the exterminator is supposed to come back today and spray again. Hopefully he comes soon.

William's Blessing

We blessed William in my sister Lori's ward in Utah so we could have some of our family there. Jason's Grandpa Meador blessed the baby which Jason has always wanted him to do. Grandpa Meador joined the church after his two children were born, so this was the first time he had blessed a baby. He is a wonderful man and we are thankful that he was able to do it.

We have arrived.... in ARIZONA

We are here! After a very long drive with the two kids we made it to AZ. We are currently renting a house from Jason's brother Ross-it has a great pool in the backyard! So we are dealing with the heat quite nicely.

Feeling unsettled

So, Olivia, Will, and I have been staying with my mom in Utah while Jason gets things settled in AZ. It will be nice when we get to our house in Arizona so we can have some stability. It seems like we have been in limbo for the past couple of months! When we get to AZ my blog will get a little more interesting. I don't have all my pictures here, so there are things I want to post, but don't have the pictures. Anyway, the kids and I are having fun with my family and Jason will be here on Thursday. We are going to bless the baby on Sunday, and depending on when Jason gets his license, we will head to the dry heat of ARIZONA.
