We've moved!

If you didn't already know, we moved to IOWA! We sold all of our furniture minus our bed, and Abigail's cribs, and our table (that one mainly because we couldn't sell it). We got a 6x12 trailer because it saved us hundreds of dollars than getting a truck and driving our car along with it. As we were gathering all of our stuff to be put in the trailer the days prior to moving, we got really nervous thinking we weren't going to fit it all. You never fully realize how much you actually have until you have to box it all up. My dad flew out to help us with the drive. The drive was supposed to be 16 hours, but it ended up being a lot longer because between Utah and Wyoming, we were only able to push our car to 40 miles going up the steep grades of the mountain. I was a happy camper with the speed (max of 60 w/ the trailer) and Abigail was a GREAT rider. We bought a portable DVD player and we watched "puppies" 101 Dalmatians like 5 times a day. We stopped two nights at hotels and let Abigail play in the pool. We arrived in Des Moines Iowa on the 1st of July and left a few days later for the Johnson family Reunion, but that is another post. Here are some pictures of the trip!

Not Dead

So I promise we are not dead.
Our move to Iowa went very well, for those of you who know how I travel, I was very comfortable (minus pulling a trailer). We spent 3 days in our new place and back on the road we went. We are currently visiting Reid's grandparents in Alabama. I forgot the camera cord to put pictures up. My dad is working on our computer, and hopefuly when we get back, I will be posting a lot. Abigail has been great traveling in the car thankfully.
Anyway, we are not dead and will be posting when we get back home.

I love to see the temple

Last night we went to the temple for Family Home Evening.
It was Abigail's first time going and she already knew what it was. We had a lot of fun. Abigail loved the water fountains, unfortunately we didn't get a picture of her soaked shirt before we left. (the camera was dying)

Easter

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of Abigail on Easter, but we had fun, kinda.

Only two days before, Reid graduated and during his walking ceremony, I found out that Abigail was getting a tooth, so she was kind of miserable. That continued through the weekend. Sunday also meant that my dad left and so did Reid's family, both early in the morning. Nana and Papa had a basket for her filled with Easter Eggs filled with candy, she got a little ducky, an Elmo book and a new sippy cup. Her favorite is definitely the eggs, she keeps bringing them to us to open and close.

Because she was miserable with her tooth, she and I stayed home while Reid went to church and took care of our nursery class along with the other two classes. What a man!

We had Easter dinner at my managers house and had delicious grilled ham, deviled eggs, potatoes and I brought a homemade strawberry pie. For the recipe go here. It was delicious! My first pie I ever made! Anyway here are some pictures of the eggs Reid and I colored and the yummy pie!

Update on the sneak

So, it's been two nights and Abigail has stayed in her bed without trying to climb out. I am hoping her first experience getting out scared her enough to not do it again, at least for a while. So yeah!

What's a momma to do?

For all you mommas out there, I need some help.

First of all, Abigail has been a GREAT sleeper. We can just put her in her bed and she'll fall asleep. We've even been able to do that for her naps.

Here's where the help is needed. Last night she would not go to bed at all (I guess the same for her nap). She even crawled out of her crib. I know it was only one night, but I don't want her to keep crawling out of her crib and getting hurt. I think it is too early to put her in a toddler bed, cause she moves a lot when going to sleep.

Any suggestions?

Finally another post

I am so happy! And I know it's late, but Reid graduated!!

It's been really nice. Really he has been done with school since December. He finished his honors thesis and defended it in February. But now, it is really official!

Congratulations to my wonderful, amazing, smart, smart-mouthed ;), hot, talented, patient, and again amazing husband!

Thanks Dad, Mom, Dad, Tim, Kristin, Emma and Cole for coming to celebrate Reid!

We love you hun!
