Kelsey and Morgan get Married

It was our last week in our house in Washington! Everywhere is covered in boxes and I honestly don't think the kids completely understand what's happening.  They want all their things in boxes, because they know that anything in a box is something we are taking with us!  They even asked if I could put their beds and the sofa into a box!  Besides packing I have been cleaning like crazy.  Kylie and Hayden are both great helpers, and Kylie even volunteered to clean out the fridge entirely by herself and she did an amazing job.  Thursday we packed and cleaned as much as we could and then we left for up north in the afternoon.  Brandon has taken our cat Charlie, so we don't have to worry about him!

We arrived at Grandma Tess and Grandpa Pete's, where we will be living the next few months until we get more permanently settled.  The first night for the kids was in sleeping bags on the floor, since we only brought our little car load up for this first trip.  It was not as fun as I thought it would be!  You would think kids sleeping in sleeping bags = fun, but I suppose they were just super tired and wound up at the same time (a dangerous combination).

Friday was the day of Aunt Kelsey's wedding to our new Uncle Morgan!  Grandma Tess was kind enough to watch the kids while I went up to Bountiful for the wedding.  Then I came back to get the kids for the wedding reception at Grandma Shari's house.  After the severe disappointment of Uncle Dallan's and Aunt Jessica's wedding reception (no pizza!), they were not too eager for Kelsey's reception.  Luckily they were greeted with ice cream, cookies, and yummy fruit, so they were happy!

This was the first time Brandon had been with his family since we separated last year, so we decided that I would drop off the kids and he would handle the reception with them.  So I snagged a few pictures together with the kids and bride and groom and then left.  I though Brandon would take care of them all night, since they were spending the next week with Grandma Shari and Grandpa Gary, but apparently he ended up leaving after a few hours and Grandma Shari had to deal with two crazy kids wanting to go to bed and taking down the reception in her backyard at the same time.  Not my intention!

Well, that night I picked up Grandma Tess and we both drove back to Washington that night, arriving around 11.  We got some sleep and were up and at 'em super early in the morning for moving day!  Grandma Tess was amazing and drove the 20 foot U-Haul, and people from my ward came and helped us move everything into the truck!  Then we drove back to Provo and arrived around 4, only to unpack it all into the garage and then collapse for the next few days!  I can't believe we actually made the leap and are living in Provo!  Thankfully Kylie and Hayden are staying with Grandma Shari and Grandpa Gary for the next few days so I can unpack a little and get us settled.  Hopefully we will adjust quickly!
