Wowie what an adventure! We went to Utah on Sunday to say good bye to some family and break up the trip. The next day it took us 15 hrs to arrive in Denver. The next day it took us 16 hrs to finally arrive in OK. The trip was indeed long! I drove our van with the girls and Brian drove the moving van with Garrett and John (friend from Dell that was going to OK as well). We ahd walkie talkies and that helped the trip a lot!John and Brian practiced with Garrett the whole trip to count to 100. He did learn and got rewarded a dollar! He was so excited! We stopped at a gas station and he wanted to play a little video game. He was so excited! Each of the girls got to spend their dollars for being good and got a pretty necklace! I did get pulled over by the OK police. I swerved a little I guess according to the police officer. I think I was handing something over to the girls and he thought I was maybe a drunk driver! He said well mam it's obvious you are not a drunk driver you have a nice day! What a grand welcome to OK!
We arrived to our house late Tuesday Nov 3rd. We were greeted by 11 people from our ward to help us unload! They were so very NICE! They had pizza and drinks for us to eat they not only unloaded but they helped set up our table, set up beds and just were so very nice! It was awesome!
I never thought we would be living in OK. We actually like it here a lot so far! WE love our cute house! NO NEIGHBORS!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the first house we have actually rented that has had no body else living in it but us! It is so very NICE! The weather was absolutely gorgeous when we arrived! It was so warm we really needed to pull out the summer clothing! WE have a huge backyard!It is all fenced in and the kids love to play out there! Brian and I both love it too!
My sister Nicolette and my nephew Gabe flew in on Thursday the 5th to help us get all settled in! Nicolette was such great comfort and help! Coming to a totally new place and having three children and being pregnant can be very overwhelming but it wasn't that stressful at all with her around! Man can that girl WORK! She was taking care of the kids so that I could place things, she spray painted my book shelves ( I wish like anything I had pictures the spray paint actually got up her nose and it was so hilarious until we got smart and I gave her a hankie to put over her nose). She re-finished our coffee table, helped decorate and she helped me find my way around OK. What a wonderful sister I have! I hope she knows how much I love her and appreciated her stay! I loved seeing Gabe too! He is so cute! I love his smiles and laughter! Boy did the kids LOVE seeing him! It was like he had three babysitters around! I think by the end he was ready to be left alone for a while! He did enjoy doing everything they did and run around in our backyard!
Here are some pictures of our back yard
The girls tipped all the chairs in the yard for their Barbies to ride on as a train! It was so CUTE!
Garrett took his sisters and Gabe for a ride in the wagon around the yard!
Garrett being a silly cowboy!
Girls playing with their babies!
The yard is so very nice! We have our picnic table out there and a big bin of all the kids toys! They can actually ride their bikes in the grass and play play dough out on the picnic table! It is so much fun!
