New House well Kind of!

So we moved again!! Okay, about 3 months ago we moved I just haven't had time to update. We moved back into our rental house. Nick might have to leave in September with Army, so we decided it would be best to have our renter move out so that I don't have to worry about the rental if he goes. It was a blessing in disguise however, two weeks after the renter moved out he called us and told us he was laid off! We felt terrible for him but we were very grateful we had the thought to do as we did. That would have been a tough few months without his rent. It was kind of nice moving back into a house I was already comfortable with.

Before we moved back in I was talking with my dad about options for remodel. A way to put a master bath upstairs. After a lot of drawing and redrawing we finally decided. My dad is an amazing person that does everything in his power to make things happen. He does all he can to make my ideas possible. He came up this weekend and in two days had the plumbing, walls, electric, tub and toilet installed. IT IS WONDERFUL!!! We had to combine two rooms to do this. It was a huge mess but with my moms help it stayed really clean. I think she vacuumed and vacuumed and then vacuumed again trying to keep the sheet rock dust and insulation under control. I have wonderful parents and husband for doing so much work to make this all happen. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! It was an exciting Mother's Day gift. Now just the finishing touches.
Yes we do actually use these. It feels like a country western movie when you sit in a bathtub with unfinished walls surrounding you.

Boise Trip! (April)
Each month Nick goes down to Boise for Drill, this time we had Jen and Jesse go with us. It was a lot of fun. We stayed in a hotel, went out to eat, took a tour of the military base, and went to Boondocks. It was nice to have a weekend away.

My children (especially Jaycie) pose for every picture taken of them. They make me laugh!
Such an intense conversation they are having.
Yes, this is Jayce and I behind Jen and Elle. We were pretty much there the entire time. We did pass them once I think, but that was because Jen purposely slowed down to let us go. Jaycie kept yelling "Get out of the way Car" Something my road rage mother taught her.
Jaycie had tubes put in her ears. That is what the orange goop is in her ear, not ear wax!We had such a good time. The Boise Trip was a lot of fun this time. Thanks Jen and Jesse for going with us.

It's the DODGE NATIONAL CIRCUIT FINALS RODEO IN POCATELLO IDAHO!!!! This is what is heard at my house throughout the last couple weeks of March and into April. My Kids and Nick feel very compelled to yell this repeatedly up until the day we attend the rodeo. It is always a good time. We usually try to go one night out of the week. It is always the same old rodeo but the kids love it.
