photos of our new life

What the kids spend most of their time doing outside. They love to play Tag your it. They love when Chris is home because he chases them around the house!

We have made brownies about 3 times in 2 weeks. The kids love brownies! ( I love them just as much.

Will waiting to go to the bus stop. He was so excited to ride the bus this year.

Getting on the bus.



It was cold enough on August 26th for me to wear my jacket to the bus stop!! I love it here.

The view from our front porch, drake Stadium.

Love our new house

We have been so happy here. Will's only complaint is that school is long. Welcome to life boy welcome to life.

minor funny tidbits

Annmarie's new favorite cereal is high ho cherio. (honey nut cheerios)

Jed has been saying lots and lots my favorites

- will bus will bus (when we are waiting for will to come home)

- bingle ells, bingle ells. hey (jingle bells so funny)

the kids are so happy to have a place to run, but they really really miss their friends.

Difference between Vegas and Des Moines

So no photos of the house yet, its still not all put together. I'll post photos of the outside and our "view" later. We have been here almost 2 full weeks now. Chris is in school, and Will starts 1st grade tomorrow. We have his open house tonight. He is so ready to start school.

Jeffrey decided he wanted to see what Iowa's health care system was like so he tried out the urgent care last night. Chris said the Dr did not believe that he was only 3. I have been having a hard time lifting him lately so I agree with her on the one. But he broke his right radius. He has a soft cast on (ace bandage with a splint) and thinks its way cool. I guess this is how we will break his finger sucking habit.

So on to the differences

Vegas

HOT HOT HOT

Gym - crowded with unreal people

No eye contact made

rude drivers

small condo (it closed yesterday!!)

ward

Great friends

Des Moines

Playing outside daily

Gym - Very few people, very clean, and very real people

Cashiers telling you thier life story

Nice courteous drivers

nice sized house

Branch

no friends yet but someday soon I'm guessing

Over all this place has been great to us and so has Drake. I know I will miss Vegas weather in the winter but for now the playing outside and walks have been great! I plan on being a better blogger, I also plan on being a better house keeper too so we shall see.
