Rex got a new job!!!! Ok, we are super excited and overjoyed! We have been looking since he graduated with his masters last year and finally he found a counseling job in Cottage Grove (20 min away) at the high school. This job is such a blessing and Rex is loving going to work everyday!! Yeah, let the house hunt begin! In honor of this occasion, I made him this delicious Oreo pudding poke cake! Go
here for the recipe!

Random.... we were at my dad's house and part of his huge 30 year old tree fell on our car. We were not pleased. Thank goodness the damage was a few small dents and scratches and thank goodness for car insurance. Moving on....

Our good friends Nick and Katelyn, from BYU-I (Nick from Sweet Home too and high school), came to see us and we had a blast! We did dinner and bowling, so fun! They have a cute little baby boy, Logan. Katelyn and I decided that we are going to betroth Logan and Olivia to each other. They would make a cute couple :)

The girls loved bowling. How cute are those tiny shoes? I loved watching their ball roll super slow to the very end to hit 8-9 pins down :)

My niece Ryan came to stay with us for a week and we had a blast. The girls loved having sleep overs and then Heather and Dad treated us to the circus! Super fun, the girls of course love it!

A Sunday nap is always good, especially with pillow pet and a cute baby.

Macey and Olivia watching Sesame Street with some stuffed animals.... I really don't let my kids veg in front of the t.v. Well, only when I am in the shower.
And last..... Annie was jumping off the couch onto the bean bag and Olivia was laughing so hard! You must see.... enjoy!
