Catching Up

April has been a good month for us so far. Ryan had a birthday on the 3rd and it was not one of his better birthday's. We bought him an apple turnover and stuck a candle in it and that was his "cake". We then said goodbye and sent him off to work and didn't see him again until 11:00 pm. We did buy him a nice TV a couple of weeks before so no one needs to feel bad for him for his mediocre birthday.

Mac is growing like crazy. I was able to get these cute pictures of Mac and how well he plays with our cats.This picture is of Mac going "night night" with Thor. Our cats are so gentle with the kids and they are really good cats. They do love Anikka the most and sleep with her every night.
This picture is of Mac and Loki's favorite game. When Loki is sleeping on the couch Mac will sneak up close to the couch until Loki puts his paw on Mac's head and then Mac just giggles. They have done it so many times and I am glad I was able to take a picture of it.
And now the best for last. Ryan and I bought a house in Lehi. This picture is of the model home but our house will look just like this one. We are pretty excited. The timing is really good right now to buy the house. I know that there are five nurseries in the ward that we will be moving into and the neighborhood is packed full with kids. I am so excited to live by so many young families. I will miss Heber and living so close to my family but I think that I need to become a little more independent at this time in my life. The house is to be built and will be done in mid to late July. Again, really good timing.

I'm so excited for you guys, but very sad for us! We're going to miss having you here in the valley! Which part of Lehi? My sister lives down there.

Congrats on your move, I know what you mean about living near family. I'm not sure how I would function without having my parents so close. - now that you will be living closer to SLC we should get together sometime. Mac sure is a cutie.
