Great Summer!

After almost 2 months of being homeless, Jon finally started his new job and we got to move into our place! We have been here for a little over a month and its great! This is where we live now!
And this is our backyard:Its really fantastic! We really like the little town we live in, its quiet and small and just close enough to stores and everything else we need. We feel so blessed to live in such a great place! I miss being able to see my friends every weekend, but we have been able to have lots of visitors already because of people driving through, which has been fun!
Jons job is going so great as well! He is going through the POST academy right now and is loving it! He graduates from that on Friday, so I will post more about that later! But here is a teaser picture of him in his uniform! He looks so good!Ive been trying to stay busy with some projects too! We finally got Noah a crib! He has never had a crib because we couldnt fit one in our last apartment, so he just slept in a portacrib. When we got up here, we got Makella's old crib and realized that some parts were missing, so I used that as an excuse to get a new one! I found a great deal on one and have been painting it black, I think I did a pretty good job on it. Definetaly not perfect, but thats ok, I love it! Here is the finished product, I think he likes it!
I've also been making a lot of these:


Im not sure why Im so obsessed with them, but its just fun to make them look pretty! Makella is loving her new house and loves being able to find roly polys all day long! She is going to primary in our new ward and loves it so much! She is always asking when we can go to church...probably because its basically the only time she gets to play with other kids! She's a little deprived...but she has been able to play with her cousin Malia a few times and she loves that. She will be taking dance from Kami this fall and is really looking forward to it!
Noah is getting bigger every day, he doesn't walk yet, but just this morning he took 2 1/2 steps! I think when he decides that he really wants to, he will just up and walk. He is a vampire baby and decided to get his eye teeth in before his front teeth, which I think are just starting to make their way down. He has a silly grin and is a pretty happy baby. He is totally a momma's boy and I love it! He also will climb up just about everything! We found him on top of our computer desk the other morning! His favorite thing is to climb up the slide and then slide down on his belly. He does it over and over. You can watch him here!
Overall, we are happy to be where we are at are looking forward to having lots of fun adventures here!
