Tired

We are official out of our apartment. Man, are we tired. Everything went very smoothly on Saturday we had the truck packed in 45 minutes and unpacked in 20. It was extremely hot but no one complained. Thanks to everyone who helped. Especially Tyler who got us his work truck to haul all of our stuff. You're the best. 

Now I'm just finishing putting everything in its place. Our new  home is twice as big as our last one. I'm still getting use to using all the extra space and not storing it in the same place I had before. Brett loves having his "Man's room" back, and a garage that already had cabinets built in. 

I need to keep telling myself that not everything has to be put away in the first 3 days.

I keep wearing myself out each day by doing so much. Today hasn't started off relaxing either. I just can't seem to stop until everything is done. 

Last Sunday

Last week was our last Sunday in the Hampton Ward. Brett and I were in charge of teaching the 5 year olds together. We had so much fun with them. They would say the cutest things. Especially Caitlyn on the left, when asked who the President of the United States was, replied "Jesus!"  We will miss you.   Thanks for all the laughs and the preparation for parenthood.

Glenda's Memorial

This past April my grandmother passed away. She was a wonderful woman but she battled many illnesses the last couple years and her passing was certain. She lived in Virginia and her last wishes was to have her ashes spread in Arizona. My dad found a beautiful place in Goodyear at this desert park. We had a wonderful ceremony on Saturday morning in the desert landscape. All of my family from all over the states came down. We all stayed at the beautiful Wigwam.  We all had fun hanging out and getting to know each other more. Most of us got a little too much sun at the pool. 

Great Grandpa Pohl and Tori

Great Great Aunt Vicki 

She loved holding Tori. 

Tori is in the last blanket that Glenda Pohl made. 

May she rest in peace.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the father's out there. Especially to Brett on his FIRST father's day. Tori and I were really secretive and went out and took pictures for Brett's gift. We found a tiny motorcycle jacket at build a bear that fit her perfectly.  The pictures came out wonderful (Thanks Liz) The pictures pretty much speak for themselves. She is just getting cuter and cuter.  

We're Moving!

We have finally found a place to live in Goodyear AZ. We are going to be renting a home there and we great a super good deal. Our landlords are in my parents ward and they are the nicest people ever. Our new home will have plenty of room for our little family to grow. 

We are moving on the 21st of this month and if anyone can help that day please let me know. 

Thanks : )

It's too light in here.

I laid Tori down to take a nap when she was half asleep. I went in to check on her a little later and this is what I found. 

Brett thinks she just pulled the flower over her eye because it was too light in there.  She is so funny and brings so much joy to our life. 

Rachel's b-day

Rachel is now 10 years old! Yeah!!! Happy Birthday to Aunt Rachel. We had a blast bowling. My first game I bowled the best game of my life. It was only 151 but anything over 100 is good for me. Nate tried to beat my score but he was unsuccessful even with bumpers. 

eating

We decided to try feeding Tori some baby cereal. It hasn't really gone that well. She pretty much spits everything out once we put it in her mouth. The pictures speak for themselves. 

new jumper

I got this jumper for Tori and she loves it. Her legs are getting so strong. She is also holding her new doll. She loves holding it and sucking on it. 

Sorry

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile. I guess I don't think I have anything interesting to add to this. We've just been busy working and talking care of Tori. We are currently looking for a place to live in the west valley and we need to move by June 29th and we're still not sure if we are going to rent or buy. With the time frame we are looking at we will probably end up renting a little longer. 

Other exciting news?.........

Krispy Kreme opened right next to my house. It's the only one open in Arizona. Me and Tori waited in the long line at 8am opening day. The fox news people were there and everything. We talked to the news/weather man for like 5 minutes more like Tori talked to him for 5 minutes. He was instantly in love with her.             I went back a week later at 10:45 PM and there was still a line of cars in the drive through. The lady said they open at 5am and close at 11pm and they are always swarmed with people. 

President Monson just announced an addition temple will be built in Phoenix. So the brings the total now to 5 temples in AZ. I can't to tour through them. 

Congrats to Kelly and Ron who just had their baby girl Riley on Friday!! We can't wait to see her. 

Kelly's grad pics

I also had the chance to take Kelly Allen's graduation pictures yesterday. She was super photogenic and made my job very easy. Me and Tori checked out the photography spots before hand and took some of our own while we waited. 

Cassandra's Baby Shower

This weekend was also Cassandra baby shower. She is such a cute pregnant lady. I'm so glad that our daughters will be around the same age. Me and Cassandra like to do everything the same. We got married three weeks apart to Brett's. We color our hair the same. And now we both have babies at the same time. We have know each other since 6th grade so it's been quite fun seeing each others family grow up. I love you girl : )

Her daughter's name will be Pixie Marie

This was the house she had the shower at. Look how big it is. You can barely see Cassandra standing there.  This is only half the house I couldn't fit the rest in this shot. It was very beautiful inside as well. 

group pics

preschool graduation

So sorry that I haven't updated my blog in awhile. I have been pretty busy this past week. I got the chance to go to my sister in law Kristin's preschool and take their pictures. It was a busy two days but a ton of fun. Some of them don't like to smile and it's hard to get a group picture with everyone looking at me. 

This is our niece Halle (above)

Naps Suck Lets Ride
