December started out like this. I think he thought that my mascara was war paint...</div>

Since we were moving in the middle of December, we didn't put up a Christmas tree in our old house. We opted for a paper one instead!</div>

So, the first Sunday of November, we went under contract on our current house, set to close in the middle of December. That put the pressure on to find our next place. By the next Wednesday (yes, as in 3 days later), we were under contract on our future home. </div>

It was perfect! A rambler with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Right in Orem, super close to Dan's work. We felt so good about it! We had it inspected and the results came back great. The appraisal, not so much. It came back $20,000 lower than the price they were asking. The sellers also weren't willing to lower their price. Ummm, okay. Where were we going to come up with an extra $20k? And who wants to buy a home to be immediately upside down in it?!! My heart was so sad, but we knew we had to walk away from it, this house that had seemed so perfect to us. Not only that, but we now only had 2 weeks to find a new house and close on it. How could that even be possible?!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Insert miracle here... somehow, we did it. We decided to look a little further south, in Springville. There were a few different options, but this is the one we went with.</div>

It really is amazing how everything fell into place. We were only under contract on this place for a week and a half before closing on it and moving in. We actually attended an activity in our new ward before closing, just to check it out and be sure. It's really hard to move as a stay at home mom, because you kind of have to uproot everything you know and start over. I felt so nervous, wondering if I would like my new ward and if I would be able to make new friends. I can remember praying as we drove down to this Christmas activity, "Please, let me feel comfortable and know that it is going to be okay." I was literally begging my Heavenly Father to help me know that we were in the right place and that I could do this. Well, we walked in to the church and a cute lady and her kids walked in behind us, and she said, "Are you the Smiths?!" She was our next door neighbor and we had already met her husband during the home inspection. It was so nice to have someone friendly know our names. Then later on in the activity, someone pointed out a man that was from Reno, just like us. Wouldn't you know it, it was the father of a couple of girls I had grown up with in my home stake. I wanted to cry, it made me feel so good! We were going where we were supposed to be. And the few months that we've been here has really confirmed that.</div>

...we had a family blog. And it was updated. I'm going to give it a go... So much has gone on since I last posted (duh, it's been like 6 or 7 months) and these pictures have been waiting patiently to be posted since about August! We took a HUGE, long trip in July. Seriously. It was A LOT of driving, but also TONS of fun. It started out with me and the kids heading down from Salt Lake to Las Vegas (about 6 hours of driving) to meet up with our cousins (my sister's kids) and my Uncle Brian and Aunty Debbie.</div>

After a couple of days in Vegas, we (my parents, the cousins and me and my kiddos) headed up to the Bay Area (8-9 hours of MORE driving) to reunite my sister and her kids. They had taken a vacation with Grandma and Grandpa so my sister could have this little beauty- We all got to love on her!</div>

It also had an attraction called "La Bufadora" or "The Blowhole" I think they said it was one of 3 or 4 naturally occurring ones in the world. The next two pictures are of the exact same spot- one when it's "blowing". Very neat.</div>

A great cruise, but by the end, I was missing my babies! So we hopped back in the car and headed up to meet my parents and our kids in Reno (that's another 8 hours). We got to love on our kids and head up to our FAVORITE beach at Lake Tahoe. That is the thing I miss most about Reno- living so close to Tahoe... and family of course!</div>

And then it was back to Salt Lake from Reno. If you are keeping track, that's about 37 hours of driving that I went through in about two weeks! Whew! I was so glad to be home! Oh, and Jason got to ride front-facing on the way home for the first time. Yay, big boy! The kids were great for the driving. They are such good travelers! I think we'll attempt a big trip again sometime!</div>

First off, I am so thankful for my wonderful parents. My mom, who gets the summers off and is willing to take our children so we parents can get a break- and for my dad, who has so much energy that he wears our kids out to be manageable for my sweet mother! They are both incredible people, I tell you. Right now, they have had my sister's kids for a couple weeks as she prepares for the arrival of baby number FIVE!!! </div>

My sister-in-law and brother had their baby 10 weeks early, so we made a last minute trip to Reno so I could meet the little sweetheart. Brooklyn Olina was born 3 lbs, 2oz on June 22- which just happens to be my brother's birthday. We keep saying she was that determined to steal his thunder, so she came early just to take his birthday! She is doing well and is so beautiful and strong. When I saw Brooklyn for the first time, it made me feel so sad that she was so helpless. But you can feel her strong spirit radiate throughout her little corner of the NICU. She is a strong little girl and a fighter for sure! What a blessing she will be to all of us, especially her mommy and daddy. Heidi and Brian, congratulations on your little addition, I love her so much already!</div>

We do love our parents/grandparents very much. We are so grateful to have been raised in such wonderful families, by such wonderful parents. They have set a great foundation for us as we raise our own family. Choices they made with their families now influence us as we make our own decisions.

Well, Jason's 1st birthday was 2 months ago. We didn't do anything too big, just kept it to a little family thing. Plus, Dan and I had run our half marathon the day before. Needless to say, we were not really up for entertaining! Anyways, here are some pictures for your enjoyment!</div>

We love having Jason in our family. He brings such a special spirit to our home. Jason is so much fun to be with and loves to snuggle. He loves to clap his hands and give high-fives. He says "Mama", "hi", "yay", "uh-oh" and "woah".

At breakfast that morning, Dan told Jenna we should thank Jesus for Easter. She said, "Why? He didn't hide the eggs." Funny, but we want to be sure our children understand the true meaning of Easter. I am so grateful for the sacrifice that Jesus made for me and for each of us. I know that because of Him, we will live again- just as he did. </div>

In December, my sweet girl turned FOUR. When did this happen?!! I can believe that Jenna is four, but I find it much harder to believe that I am the mother of that four year old. We had a family party to attend that evening, so we celebrated her birthday in the morning. I spent the previous evening doing this...</div>

There were some really great things for the show... you'll have to go for yourself to see it, I think it is one of those things that are a special part of childhood magic. My one sneak peak? The guy playing Aladdin totally looked like Apollo Anton Ohno. Maybe what he does on the off season? Ha!</div>

On a side note, I actually ran my first half marathon on New Year's Eve at the Olympic Oval on their indoor track. We forgot to take any pictures, which is probably a good thing, I was ready to drop! I did not train like I should have for it, I kind of did it on a whim. Doing a half marathon when the furthest you've ever run is just over 6 miles... not really a good idea. My next run is the Salt Lake City Half Marathon in April. I will be training hard for that one and I'll take lots of pictures. It is so nice to set a goal and achieve it!</div>

Gah! I am a failure with this catch up. This is my final attempt... If I do not get caught up in a week's time, I'm just going to start with Christmas. I really do wish I were a little better, especially since we live so far from family now!</div>

I have taken note, The Wizard of Oz is a popular theme for Halloween. We joined in the fun on that one- truthfully, I found Jenna's Dorothy costume at the DI for $2 and we already had the lion costume, so we went with it.</div>

Other exciting events in October- haircuts. From our 4 year old neighbor. Yep, you read right. </div>

Four. year. old.</div>

My friend volunteered to watch the girls while I went and had lunch with Dan. As we were wrapping up, she called and said, "You are going to KILL me." All sorts of things rushed through my head- who's bleeding, who's hurt? And she said, "Jersey just cut their hair." She then told me how she had been listening to them playing in her daughter's room and she could hear them saying things like, "I like your hair... your hair is brown, my hair is blonde." Then she heard Jenna say, "No Jersey, don't!" She went over and there is Jersey holding scissors and Jenna has some really short bangs going on. Then she looks at Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Apparently she had no qualms about having her hair cut, because she let Jersey go out it without so much as a peep. That's right, Lucy's first hair cut was performed by a 4 year old. Needless to say, I was a little worried on the drive home. I called my hair stylist and she said, "Bring them over. Now." When I got home, my poor friend was so upset. This was probably good for me, because then I needed to help calm her down, which calmed me down. I just kept telling her, "It's okay, hair grows back. It could have just as easily been my kids cutting your kids hair." ( I will add that Jersey did cut her brother's hair too during this.) Anyways, I'm glad that it happened this way, I think I was much less upset than had Jenna done it... Here are some pictures...</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We hope that life is treating everybody as well as it has been treating us. I feel like this month has been a huge one of growth for us and recognizing how fully the Lord is in control and how His hand is present in all things in our lives. We are so blessed and could not ask for more. (Okay, if the grandparents would all move to Salt Lake, that would be excellent) Really though, I feel as though our little family is learning so much out here on our own. Love you all and hope you are well!</div>karlamsmithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12013935628300785047noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126895462176492312.post-10715581501539686372011-08-30T20:03:00.000-07:002011-08-30T20:04:39.108-07:00Love my girls!<div style="text-align: center;">Okay, so maybe it's been a little while since I've picked up my "fancy" camera. It's about time. Today, we girls had our own little photo shoot in the backyard. Jason was invited, but he decided a nap was more appealing. So I let my girls soak up some sun and run around in the backyard and they let me snap a few photos in return.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love these girls and their spunkiness. They are a lot like their mom, and that isn't always a good thing- I'm pretty stubborn and so are they. But they say and do the best things. Lucy calls olives finger puppets, because she is always putting them on her fingers. Jenna brought me pretend soup from her play kitchen because I wasn't feeling well. They are so sweet and if I may add, pretty cute too!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We are so happy to have her as a part of our crazy family. It was a great day and it's a good thing they got married in Sacramento, because it was raining and SNOWING in Reno- yeah, almost June and snowing people. Gross. Anyways, I've posted these on Facebook, but since some of my family is not on facebook, they requested that I post some here too. It's mostly just a lot of pictures, not much commentary. So here you go, some happy moments of Brian and Heidi's special day...<br />
