FINALLY!!

Finally our computer is fixed and we are posting. At first Paul thought the power supply was broken, but it ended up being the mother board. We were able to get it running again for only $30. Yeah! We've also been out of town a lot since the semester ended. Paul and I visited my parents for a few days and Paul had drill two weeks in a row. This last weekend Paul helped my dad tear up his driveway.
Here's Paul running the tractor.
Woops, these are kind of out of order. We went to the Zoo on Saturday with Sheila and Jordan. Shayden loved all the animals, especially the black bears. She'd pucker her lips and point at them with wide eyes like she was saying "Whoa!" That white alligator slowly opened his mouth while we were there. Scary.
"I want to get out Dad!"
Shayden really did love the train but she didn't want to look backward, only forward. That's why she's crying.

Paul driving the tractor again.
Bend those backs!
Ryan working hard.
Kami swinging a good one.
Everyone loading up the tractor.
Playing in the front yard at my parents.
Shayden trying to comb her hair getting ready for church.
Finally! I was able to finish Les Miserables. It was a GREAT book. It went pretty deep into explanations about kind of irrelevant things, but was very deep in philosophy and had it's parts where I couldn't put it down. The story was awesome and taught the glory of doing what's right even when it's really really hard. Ah! I just loved it. Thank you, Brenna, for letting me borrow it.
Paul and I went camping on our anniversary up by Mirror Lake. It was actually pretty warm. Paul was in a t-shirt and shorts, but I like to be super warm, so I wore a coat. All the snow was melting and there was a lot of run off. Shayden stayed at our parents house for the night, and yes, Paul did miss the Jazz game for it. He loves me.
This is me and Shayden waiting for Kurt to come home--a few weeks ago.



Here is Shayden playing with a flag in my parent's front yard. It gives a good view of the sidewalk and driveway before they tore it up. Proud to be an American.

Life has been pretty good to us, but we've kind of hit a rough road. Paul really wanted to get on orders for the summer and that's why we went down this last week. He just heard back yesterday and found that they aren't able to give him a job. Also our landlords just gave us a letter yesterday giving us until July 1 to move out. They are so good of landlords that they kind of reach the point of paranoia about kids and safety. They gave the excuse that Shayden might get hurt from the "cactus plants that have long sharp spear shaped leaves" in the patio. Paul and I don't want to fight it or give them a problem so we're just going to find another place to live. I think she's just scared of kids and wants to minimize their risk level. Paul puckers out his bottom lip and says, "Now we're jobless and homeless." We're going to try looking around the ward boundaries to find a place first so we don't have to leave our awesome ward.
