In January we got rid of our Beagle because we knew we were moving and we were not sure if we would live in a place with a fence or if we would be renting for a while. Even though he was a really good dog I was glad to have him gone because they really are such a responsibility. Well now I am already dog hungry again. Kelsey and Ethan LOVE dogs but the biggest reason I want one is because I am nervous about running once we move to Corpus Christi because crime is so high there and I thought that maybe if I get a big dog nobody will even try to mess with me. I am thinking about a german shepherd. What do ya'll think? Has anyone out there had a german shepherd before, and what are the advantages and disadvantages to having that kind of dog? I am just thinking that you'd have to be a complete idiot to mess with a girl running with a german shepherd.

We just got back from Corpus Christi Texas and we found a house that we loved so we put a bid on it and they accepted our offer. Here is a picture of the house. We are excited to move here in May. The funny thing is that the owners are LDS and are moving back to Utah. I am debating about putting up more pictures of the inside of the house (because it is just beautiful). Leave a comment if you want me to post more pictures.

Well, we finally moved from our house in Tooele. We have only been gone for two days and I already miss my house! We are in Harriman now for the next couple of months.

I am posting a few of Jessica's wedding pictures. It was a beautiful wedding and we all had lots of fun. I love my baby sister. I love the few occasions where our whole family can be together. It was also very nice to finally meet Chris' family. Now I can see why he is such a nice guy. His family was just warm and wonderful. I am so glad to have him in our family now.

Me, my wonderful mom, and my beloved sisters.

It was so fun to have my children be a part of Jessica's wedding. Kelsey was the flower girl and Ethan was the ring bearer.

All four crazies (the siblings). Why did I get the short genes? The really short genes.

The very Lovely Bride. Miss Jessica.


We have matching "sister" rings.

A magical week

Lots of things have happened this week. My sister Jessica got married (I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures until I get some from Jessica), we sold our house, and then we went to Disney World. It was Kelsey and Ethan's first visit and they thought it was so magical.

The weather in Florida was fantastic (70-80 degrees except for on the last day we were there. On Friday it rained and was in the 50's).We went with Matt's brothers Josh and Ryan and Josh's family. After going to all the parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Planet, and Hollywood Studios, we decided that the Tower of Terror is the best ride of all four parks. Here are some of my favorite pics. If you would like to see more, Matt posted 50 pics on his facebook.

Matt and Ethan with the Goofy statue

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirates Life for me! Argggg.

The Minnie Mouse House

The Tea Cup ride. To Kelsey, it was like a gigantic Tea Party.

This is just too cute.

Epcot Center "World Tour" was so AMAZING. This is me in Morocco.

Matt and his brothers in Norway (where their ancestors are from). Learning that the Sanders boys descended from trolls answered a lot of questions for me and Alexis.

I loved getting pictures with the characters. Ethan was a little nervous about it though. He thinks they're creepy.

Kelsey "heart" Minnie Mouse

Jasmine and Aladdin were so fun. Jasmine is Kelsey's new favorite princess.
