Almost There!

Okay so the Elder's Quorum will be here at 6 p.m. to help load the truck. It is 3:30 Bo should be home soon and the house still looks like I have a ton of packing to do! Well, I really don't I am down to the TVs, computer and left over items that we use on a daily basis!! I hope we can fit everything in the truck! Mom and dad came out on Monday, loaded dad's truck, a uhaul trailer with the outdoor stuff, and left this morning at 7 a.m. with the three girls! Thanks Mom and Dad for helping us move. We couldn't have done it without you! We have had lots of friends come and say their farewells! Some of have been really emotional and if I even think about it or talk about it, I start to cry all over again! We are going to miss Kennewick very much, but are soo excited to be closer to family! Well, I better get back to finishing up! This is the last post for a week or so. I will have to try and use a sister's computer to keep you updated! Wish us luck and say a prayer for safety and that our house sells soon!!!!!! Love to all!

Miss Brylee Bo

Brylee will be 3 tomorrow! I posted something on her yesterday, so I will keep going with one today!
She has been our hardest child by far. Sooooooo, INDEPENDENT!!!! She wants to do everything "myself!" We love her so much and she totally completed our family! Here are a few pics of her!
I will try to post more tomorrow!

The day Brylee was blessed at Mom and Dad's!

She was Tigger for Halloween! All three girls wore this outfit!

Horsie Ride!

This is her mow-hawk! Thanks Alyssa and Whitney!!!

"Papa Craig"

Okay, so last year when we were in California Grandma Bobbie and Papa Craig bought me and Bo Bubba Kegs. We couldn't find any small ones for the girls, so I looked when we got home. Well, I went to Target and found these really cute small 16-20 oz. bubba kegs. In trying to get everything packed for the move, I pulled the bubba kegs back out and put them on the counter. Miss Brylee then asked me for her "papa craig!" I started to giggle and asked her to tell me again what they were called, she rolled her eyes and said "papa craig!!" We have laughed so hard over this! We are not sure if she just can't say bubba keg or if she remembers that Papa Craig is the one who bought them for us in Cali!!!! Either way, too cute and one thing we will always remember!

Going Away Party!!!

Here are a few pics from our going away party for the girls on Saturday night! The party-goers had a blast! We had two slip-n-slides hooked up, plus a little dragon pool! It was great to get to see some of these kids one more time before we leave. A lot of the kids that showed up were all from the soccer team this year! This meant a lot to Bo to get to see them one more time!!!!! Lizzy has made a lot of great friends and she is going to miss them dearly, but she is a social butterfly and I am sure she will make new friends in Idaho!!!

Flashback . . .

I don't have a scanner, but here are a few flashback pics!
This is Lizzy during our 2nd Christmas in Washington!
Mikki Madsen! Same day as Lizzy! Aren't they adorable. This Christmas was soo much fun! Mom and Dad came out and spent Christmas with us! It was GREAT!
This is Brylee Bo in one of her favorite places when she was a baby. I had this toy bins and she would empty them out and then climb in!!!
This is the fam! This was taken in Boise after Bo blessed his little brother Ian's boy Tyler! It was a great day and a wonderful, spiritual experience. I was so proud of Bo and Ian named him after is dad, Tyler Rick Clark!
One day when I get a scanner I will post more flashback pics that are a lot older! So, get ready for those pictures when we were in elementary school!!!!
Not much happening with the house. Had a showing today and an Open House tomorrow! Hopefully it will sell before we leave! Keep saying those prayers for us! Love to all!

Memory Lane

Cindy and Trish have both done this and there is nothing much for me to blog about so:

MEMORY LANE- This is just too fun to pass up. Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! I guess good or bad, but be nice!!!!!!!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Have fun! Can't wait to get moved and settled! This is all getting a little too stressful!!!!

Good Start

Well, we have a good start on packing up for the move. So far I have filled 28 boxes!!! As we get boxes to fill, I fill them and wait to find more! I figure if I can fill a couple of boxes a day, by the time the 31st rolls around, we should be pretty well packed.

Lizzy is very excited and has packed everything in her room except the pictures off the walls. In fact, on Tuesday she asked me what she needed to do with her dresser! :) She is just soo excited to get moved and settled with Grandma and Grandpa before school starts!
The house still hasn't sold, but we have faith in our realtor that he will be able to sell it for us soon! Keep saying those prayers for us that we sell before we leave!!! Hope everyone is doing well!!!

4th of July

We spent the day with our little family and friends that we have here. It was a great day just to relax and enjoy our surroundings before we move.
Just an update on us:
Mikki passed her swim lessons on Thursday and gets to move to the next class. She is very excited. Lizzy is getting better, but unfortunately didn't pass her class. Brylee did very well in her Parent/Child class and the teachers thought she was simple adorable!!!!
We had pictures taken a few days ago. Here is one of my favorites!
Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!!!!

More Swimming Lessons

Here are a few pics of Lizzy! She is in Level 3 and doing GREAT! The first pic is of her taking roll with her teacher Carrie! Carrie asked her on this day if she had eaten a bunch of sugar before swimming!!! I informed her from behind the fence that Lizzy always acts like that!!!!

Lizzy is a terrific swimmer and has come a long way since she started when she was 4!!!!
Swimming lessons end tomorrow! Then we are done for the summer. Lizzy has activity day camp for church next week for three days and then, we will need to start packing a few things for the move! We haven't sold the house yet. Tried to do it on our own, but with no luck. So a real estate agent will be here tomorrow to post a sign. He is hopeful that we can sell in 30 days! That would be GREAT! We could sure use all the faith and prayers you can offer in our direction! We are still very excited about the move and the girls want to pack up their rooms RIGHT NOW!!!! I just keep telling them not until we sell the house! I will keep you updated! Hope all is well and you are staying cool!!!!
