Well we are here in Colorado and so far so good. We did have some interesting thing's happen as is. First when we left Utah we never planned to what would happen when we arrived here and have no sleeping arrangements .
So when we arrived, luckily my brother and sister in law let us borrow a blow up mattress with no idea when they would get it back. Well we went to sleep and let's just say it was an interesting night and not a very comfortable sleep.
The mover's got here at 8 am and they moved us in all morning. That's when the real fun began of unpacking and trying to get it all done in 1 weekend. Then comes the time to start school and we are heading out the door and not thinking that I needed to listen to the radio for school closing and headed to school in a snow flurry not a storm and it is canceled!! I couldn't believe it. I thought they got snow like Utah but I guess not.
It has been a fun and interesting two months since we have been here, but we feel like this is where God wants us. Everything has fallen into place since we arrived. The place we found to rent feels just like home to us and the neighbors on our street are amazing. They are very close nit and seem to have a lot of fun. Our street probably has about 6 houses on it and all of the young kids on the street are boys (there are probably about 6 of them in addition to our boys. The women on the block go out to breakfast once a month and the guys in the neighborhood do something similar once a month. Our next-door neighbors are very nice and let us borrow anything we don't have (extension cords, lawnmower, he even gave us some fertilizer for our lawn without us even asking). Real "salt of the earth" people.
The kids have been doing really well also. Of course they all miss the family and really miss the grandparents. We had a family home evening and everyone started crying because they missed Utah--it was pretty sad.
Benson is doing really well in school since we arrived. He is in the advanced reading and math classes and actually gets excited to go to his math class! He starts cub scouts this week too, so he is very excited about that.
Matthew and Ethan have joined forces to stress their mom out, color on the walls, and "fix" stuff. Let's just say they are on a winning streak and we will keep it at that. Matthew and Benson have been helping a lot around the house with chores though, so that makes up for it.
Eli is just getting more and more cute. Of course, he is getting a temper as well, so watch out and don't get in between him and any Whoppers either. You may just come out on the losing end.
Jeramie has been called as the Young Men's President (so his life is pretty much meetings--and he camps every once in a while) and Robyn as a teacher for the Young Women which she is real excited about!
We have posted some pics of the new place so check it out. Until next time!!!

I'm so glad you updated! Eli is getting so big, Rob and I couldn't believe it. And the house is beautiful! We miss you guys so much. Sorry the mattress wasn't ideal, definitely not made for a real comfortable sleep. But glad you had something. :) Keep the pictures coming!!
