And we're back in the game!

Matthew wanted to title it "and we are back in the saddle again", but I'm typing, so oh well.
So much to tell!
We've officially moved to Pocatello and have renters in our place in Rexburg. Good renters. Anyway, we just barely got internet hooked up today, after spending $120 on equipment. We had to buy a wireless router and a wireless adapter because our computer is too old! It seems to me that everything else on our computer is still up to date. Oh well, it was the adapter, or a new computer, and we can't afford that right now.
We like our location here in Poky! Matthew can ride his bike to work in 7 minutes. He comes home for lunch several times a week and can sleep longer, and is home sooner, etc.....It's heavenly! We live 1/2 mile from lower Ross Park and about 3/4 mile from the aquatic center. We've yet to get to the aquatic center. The kids don't know its there. We do frequent Ross park, almost on a daily basis. It is a really cool place with lots of natural lava rocks, big lava rocks. They are really smooth and can be used as slides. McKinley really likes it! It also has forested trails leading up to upper Ross park. We go on lots of "adventures" through the trees. They have a normal playground, too, but we don't spend much time there. We ride our bikes when going to the park. I pull the boys in the trailer and Mcki rides her bike. Gavin rides his bike occasionally, but there is not sidewalks all the way and he stops to rest multiple times!
We've really enjoyed getting to know people in our ward.......until they changed boundries on us! That's right, we went to our new ward for 2 weeks when they announced a special stake meeting. We are now in a different ward. Luckily, I've made some friends from the other ward that may still carry over! It's funny, every ward we've been in for the past 5 years has split, been dissolved, or been created. This is the 4th time. Its kinda funny to hear people get all upset about changes, but its old news to us. We are very accustomed to it. Its hard to change wards and get to know new people, but it forces us out of our comfort zones. Change is good.
I guess that is all for me right now. I love being at home with the kids. They drive me crazy at times, but I'm learning different coping skills. I find that its easiest to get them outside. This is somewhat difficult with Jamison as we work around his naps/feedings and such, but we do it as much as possible. They are so much better behaved outside!
I don't have any fun pictures to post. Sorry.

  2. Our ward in Rexburg changed only a few weeks after getting there. But I don't think boundaries will change in our ward here. There are only 2 family wards in Stillwater. But it seems to be a great ward. I'm jealous of you being able to go outside. It is over 100 and very humid here, so it is just too hot for Allie to be out long. Anyway, it is great that things are going so well for you! We're glad to hear it. =)
