Who said that?

Overheard tonight while helpful Curly was trying to help Lou put her pajamas on at bedtime. In sing song motherese, "Sit down Lou. Sit down. Sit down you rascal!"

Where to live?

We are on the hunt for a job... there are plenty to be had outside of Utah and Idaho, so it's really more a matter of us deciding where to live and Fisher deciding exactly where he wants to work... We are looking at Oregon, Washington, and Arizona and I have just a few criteria for the locations : )
- within a days drive (less than 10 hours of either Salt Lake or Rexburg)
- Family friendly, small town feel, safe, good schools
- Not too hot (though I realize, I am not likely to find this in AZ)
- Clean air with nice scenery for outdoor activities

So - anyone have any suggestions? We are very open to them : )

Gratitude for a Good Life

In no particular order - a few of the good things we have been doing since Fisher graduated -Primary "Campout" activity that I helped plan
Mother's Day gifts for Grandma's

Visit to Idaho - Lou loves her Grandma C. She wasn't feeling well and wanted to be held by grandma all the time.


Yummy lunch at Craigo's Pizza Buffet

Curly and Lou on the plane to Atlanta - First time flying - what an adventure. We are spending a week with our good friend Susanna and her children.

Lou learned how to climb out of her crib so we have been closing the door - she falls asleep in front of the door (sounds familiar)


Visit to Wheeler Farm with all of our Lake cousins.
Pinata for Grandpa Lake's birthday party.


Another good thing - Fisher passed his clinical exams and can now officially get a job! After months of studying and worrying - this was a huge relief!

We're so glad that Daddy is home

This week we have seen Fisher twice as much as we are used to and it has been great. Even though he is busily studying for "the dreaded boards" during the day, we have the rarity of eating breakfast with him in the morning and I can enjoy time with him in the evening! We even watched a movie together! I could get used to this : )
