super busy! After being on pins and needles and not knowing if we were going to be living in a house of our own, or moving all of our worldly possessions into temporary storage and finding a new rental. We are officially homeowners! We received keys to our new home at 3 pm on a Thursday (July 1st), and we had to be out of our rental Friday (July 2nd)! Justin asked his crew from work to help move and what would have taken us into the early morning hours took about 3 hours, 3 large pizza and beer for the guys. My Mom flew in that Saturday and was a huge help. Not to mention my wonderful sister in laws Kacie and Tasha and mother in law Susan. They came up and helped us clean! The middle of the following week my brother surprised us along with his girlfriend Dawn. It was great getting to see my family!
We have been spending our weekends trying to get the house in order, it's been quite the task now that Marshall is into everything. He's climbing up the stairs, opening drawers and cabinets, lifting the toilet lid (and getting his hand stuck underneath it). We have been trying to not spend all weekend doing house stuff, so we have been taking little trips here and there to get out of the house. We took a trip to Mesa Falls one weekend, and fed the ducks last weekend.
Marshall is standing on his own for a little bit at a time. I fear walking is right around the corner! He got his first bloody nose this past Sunday, he slipped when he was reaching down for a toy and his poor face caught his fall. I thought about taking a picture, but then I felt bad about it.
Here are the pictures from what we have been up to!
