little yellow house

welp our big news of the week 
is that we MOVED!!!
it all happened soooo fast!!!
last thursday we were offered a house, by the CHA to rent.
friday we went and got a little sneak peak.
monday we gave notice to our current landlord and got all our utilities,
mail, internet, tv and everything switched over to the house.
tuesday we did a little packing.
and by wednesday we were signing the renters lease to a little yellow house.


it has three bedrooms, 1 bathroom, washer-dryer hookups (HALLELUJAH!)
a good size yard, and an attached garage.
thursday we pretty much full out moved over.
mark and brandy were sooo much help!!!
brandy watched mads for most of the day and 
mark helped eric move all our big stuff over.
they were so sweet and even brought over papa murphys.
cooking dinner was kind of the last thing on our minds.
thursday eric came down with the flu.
he was pretty miserable getting all that moving done.
he was sure a trooper.
since mom had gotten word of our big move she came down friday 
to help us get situated and cleaned up out of our old place.
we enjoyed eating out and being together.
we went to cheyenne on saturday to get some shopping done for the new place.
we had to buy blinds and a washer and dryer and some other little things.
that night we got back and pretty much finished up at the old apartment getting out of there.
she was a HUGE help having around!!
so far we are loving our little house!!!
it's been a HUGE blessing to us.

also we had a little weather this past week.
there is something that i love about snow and playing with my camera.
we had these cute tiny birds on our back porch:)
i couldn't resist.























and just one pict of mads this week...
she seriously kills me... just chilling in the toy box

on the loose and Halloween

sunday we had a pretty typical night 
skyping with all of eric's family.
we were skyping with his parents and madyn was just playing on the ground
doing her thing.
next thing i know she stands up and just starts WALKING!
mom always told me that one day she is just going to stand up and just go...
and she did.
she REFUSED any type of coaching me and eric have tried to 
do with her for the past few months.
she would just plop down on her bum and have no desire.
i had a pretty proud mama moment when she took those first 5 steps:)
i love watching her grow and learn.

thursday we went over to mark, brandy, and eastons
to dip some caramel apples.
we had yummy cider and apple crisp.
it was delicious!!!

friday was the big day!
HALLOWEEN!!!
growing up i seriously couldn't stand halloween...
but with mads I love doing this fun stuff with her and getting her all
dolled up!
we went to the Union and did the safe treat,
to the children's clinic and the other doctor's offices,
and then to the stake trunk or treat with brandy, mark, and easton.
we had lots of fun
and we got a TON of candy!!!













it was seriously such a beautiful night!
mads held onto a banana laffy taffy the whole time
and just content with life.





saturday we just hung around and were lazy....
let me tell you it was PERFECT....
another good week in the books.
;)
