3rd Week in May

We had a busier week, the week after getting back from our cruise.  Here are some highlights. 

Cute Hudson and Carter in their Pokémon pajamas w/ Piper.  The boys helped move yard flamingos to all the seniors graduating high school this year.  

Steve put in a window up on the top bunk in our camper.  
It's so nice to have the extra light and air now.  Good work Steve!

Hudson at his T-ball game.  Pretty Peony in bloom in our yard.  More flamingos.

On Thursday, May 21st at Hudson's preschool, they did a Daddy and Me Day, so Steve was able to join him.  They planted flowers in the school's yard, did crafts, and had root beer floats.

On Friday, May 22nd, Carter and the 3rd grade performed multiple songs.  They all did an awesome job.  The message was great to keep trying and be kind to everyone.





On Friday, Steve and I went and did sealings at the Draper Temple.

On Saturday, we drove up to Burley to help unload my parents into their new house.  My brothers loaded up their stuff in Bruneau and drove it down in trailers.  Thankfully, ward members helped them pack up their stuff from the house.  Rose, Pauline, and I met them in Burley to help unload.  We got some lunch in Burley while we waited, then met them at the new house.  Anna lives in Rupert now (about 30 minutes away), so she met us there at the house as well.  She and her family had gone up several times to help them pack also.  Rose and I worked on unloading the kitchen the whole day.  We had to clean the kitchen cupboards, pantry, and fridge BEFORE unloading, as it was really dirty.  Steve ended up running to Wal-Mart to get cleaning supplies and a few other things.  Thankfully, they live pretty close to Wal-Mart now. 

Becky, our cousin, who also lives close in Burley, came over w/ her family to help unload.  She even brought 2 pizzas for dinner and paper products, which was awesome!  We cooked up the pizza that night for dinner.  There were also ward members and neighbors who came over to help unload.  We really appreciated everyone who came to help.  As my mom always says, "Many hands make light work."

Rose and I stayed at the house that night w/ our parents.  Pauline and her family got a hotel.  We put the kids to bed, but then Rose and I continued putting stuff away.  Carter was getting a migraine right before bed, so we gave him his medication along w/ Ibuprofen and Tylenol.  Around midnight, Steve came out of the room and said Carter was complaining of his ear hurting now.  Steve said he had mentioned his ear pain the past couple of days, but hadn't told me.  I looked up the hospital, which was only 5 minutes from my parents' house, and amazingly it was in-network!  Steve then loaded him up and took him to the ER.  Sure enough, he was getting an ear infection, so they started him on antibiotics while in the hospital and gave him some pain meds.

Hudson got hit by a ball, leaving a mark on his back.  My mom and I were working in the kitchen.  We tried to keep things low for her so she could reach most things in her wheelchair.  My dad was taking a break after a long day, about ready for bed.  Carter was in the ER that night.

Some pictures of the house and property.

We went to church w/ my parents on Sunday, then had lunch together.  Pauline, Rose, and I brought taco stuff for everyone for lunch.  Anna and her family came over as well for lunch.  We also cooked up the other pizza we had left.  Barbara met us at church and stayed for a little while too.

Making progress, unloading all the boxes.  When we unloaded Dave/Joann's kitchen, we put sticky notes on the cupboards so they could find things easier until they get used to where everything was.  I brought sticky notes and a marker and did the same thing, which worked great! A couple quick pictures before heading out that afternoon.  All 5 sisters!

We then drove over to Anna's house to see her new place.  
The kids were especially excited to see all their new baby animals!

Cute puppies and kitty.

After seeing all the baby animals and their new house, we went home.  We are thankful it's only 3 hours now, instead of 5 hours to get to my parents' house.  Rose ended up staying one more night, to help the next day since it was a Holiday, Memorial Day.
