Cloe Jean Anderson

Well she is here!!! Jon's cousin Mindy had her baby on Monday March 5th, yep that is also the day of Jon's birthday (30th birthday to be exact). Cloe was born at 3:23pm and weight 9lbs and 14ozs, she was also 2 weeks early. We went to see her on Saturday and she is a doll. She has dark blue eyes and a very dark skin tone with dark brown hair. Kailey her big sister(7 years old) is just in heaven, I tried to talk Kailey into letting me bring Cloe home but she did not like that idea at all! Trevor was very jealous about the baby, he really did not like it when Jon or I held Cloe. He would come over and sit next to me and say "My Mommy". It was interesting to see how Trevor would react to us holding another baby since that has not happened before but things went how we fingured they would, he was very jealous! (No, I am not thinking about having another one, nice try get you mind out of the gutter). We are very happy for you Ben, Mindy and Kailey, Congratulations!

Sold!

Well it is official we have sold our house! It has been a long road but well worth the time. It all started 7 months ago when Jon and I decided to try and sell the house on our own. Well it went alright but we did not get any offers so then in November we decided to list it with an agent and after being on the market for 50 days we recieved an offer. I guess people just feel better going through an agent. After working with the buyers we agreed on a price and a closing date which was going to be March 1st. Well as time got closer things got more crazy and we realized that March 1st was a Thursday and it would be very hard to move things out during the week. So we asked for an extension until March 5th so we had that whole weekend to move because the weekend before was the big party in Ivanhoe and also a big snow storm. After the new buyers put up a bit of a fuss they gave in. So last Monday March 5th we signed papers and it was offical. I bet most of you are thinking where the heck we moved too, well as for right now we have moved in with my brother until we can find something that we like or we might just even build. Right now we are leaning more on building because then we can get what we want and Jon and my brother and my dad can do a lot of things themselves and it will not cost us as much to build. We still do not know but when we decide I will let everyone know. After living with my brother for a week things are going better then expected. Trevor and him are becoming a lot closer and Trevor is getting old enough where him and Greg can got and do things together. Last night him and Greg went outside and scooped off the deck and then played in the mud puddle on the end of the driveway, they had grand fun!! It is also nice for Jon and I because last week we wanted to go to a movie and Greg volunteered to watch him so it is nice for us to get a break. Overall things are going really good and Trevor has found a new buddy!

Where have I been?

Holy smokes where the heck have I been? Well I have had the last week off because it was Spring Break at SDSU...YEAH! Oh do not worry that is not the only thing I have been up too. The the past week several things has happened, the first piece of news is that we have sold our house, yep it finally has happened. We had to be out by Monday March 5th (Jon's 30th birthday). So in the mean time since we have not found a home that suits us or one that we like we have moved in with my brother. We are very lucky to have him, he just built a 5 bedroom and 3 bathroom house last summer so there is lots of room for all of us. So on top of moving last weekend during the end of the biggest snow storm in a decade and trying to finalize everything we got a call on Tuesday morning that our daycare provider was very sick and would not take kids the rest of the week. YIKES!! So Jon and I have been taking turns all week staying home with him and going back and forth to work AND moving in. Yep, it has been one crazy week!! Things are finally starting to settle down and getting back to normal. Hopefully starting on Monday things will be 100% back to normal.

Hawaii

Well today at work I had to pick a destination meal before our Spring Break started and I decided to visit Hawaii. I required all my employees to wear something Hawaiian to celebrate the themed meal. I had to make the menu for the event and this is what I came up with: Honey Peppered Salmon, Beef and Pineapple Kabobs, Carved Ham with Pineapple Glaze and tons of Hawaiian sides. Unfortunately the weather was not willing to cooperate with us since another really bad storm has hit us. Yesterday campus called off classes at 5pm and they are debating what to do today since the wind is supposed to blow gusts of up to 50mph today, yikes! So the picture is of half of my employees and myself, the other half are stranded at home which makes for a very crazy day and I am sure tomorrow will be the same thing. I hope you all stay safe and warm today & enjoy the snow!
