May and June Highlights

I have been ridiculously busy these last few months and therefore have nothing to show for it on this blog.  May we had some really fun times followed by the stressful month of June.  Shane interviewed for a job near Stony Plain, Alberta as a Warehouse Supervisor.  As it would be a lateral transfer we had to weigh out all our options and make sure that the move would be worth it.  The interviewing process went really well and we were quite confident that he would be offered the job.  When the offer came we were both excited and knew that this was the right move for our family at this time.  They wanted him to start the middle of May, but because we had planned our trip to Disneyland at the same time he didn't start until the beginning of June.  There was so much to do before leaving on our trip that it was hard to get really excited about this vacation that had been planned for months.  We were able to get the house looking immaculate and listed, but now it was the waiting game.  Waiting for the right person to come along and buy our house.  It was on the market for about 3 weeks before an offer came in and we were very blessed that it all happened so fast.  We wanted to be together as a family without having the stresses of being apart.  We came on a Friday and found a house that day that we could buy in Spruce Grove.  Everything was falling into place although there were a lot of little bumps along the way.  We took possession of our new home on June 20th and the sale of our home in Hinton was on June 28th.  The month of June was one of the worst ever as we were without Shane and trying to get the house all packed up with the two boys was not easy.  We are so grateful to my sister and her family for letting Shane crash at their house when he started his new job.  There were so many pieces that all came together to get us to where we are now and we are so happy to be in our new home and in this new city that we already love!







This is Jimmer's favorite spot...watching cartoons!


Pulling his sisters hair. 


Going to town on his teething toy.





When I wash the kitchen floor, Jimmer has to play choo choo.


Snuggling in bed with Roarburt. 


This is what our house looked like when we were getting the carpets cleaned. 




Playing choo choo again. 


It was career day at school and she wanted to be a chef. 





Love everything about this little boy.  



This little monkey exudes attitude, but he can be sweet sometimes. 




They love to play together or Jimmer just likes to take over and play with Carter's toys. 




Fun with cousins. He's lucky enough to have two cousins that are close in age and they usually play well together.
