I truely LOVE their imagination!

My boys have the biggest imaginations ever! Every day they tell me that they are something new, or they are playing a new game. Usually these games contain fighting bad guys, hotwheels, crazy fishies in the sea, super powers, and many more! This morning Lliam was a FIRE STATUE and just barely Reid told Jed,
"When I am naked you can see the hotwheels on me that make me go fast!"
Another thing Reid has told Jed is, "Because he loves both mommy and daddy the same, he can switch teams whenever he wants to." (FYI: We race a lot, to the car, to the house, etc. Reid usually chooses to be on the team that wins!)

Any Advice?!

So it's been about 11 years since I last moved to a different State and it was just me then so everything fit in 1 car...now there's 4 of us and some days I just don't know where to begin! Since I will be having a baby just before we move (perfect timing right?!) I'm trying to get A LOT done now when I have the energy.
Does anyone have any advice on where I can start or things they have done to help the move go along easier? Any packing and moving advice would be WONDERFUL!

The break-down of our breakdowns!

Once life heard of the baby and the move, it decided to give us a couple surprises...

1. The XBOX gave us the ring of death so Jed went on to fix it, unfortunately 2 seconds before he was done it fell and pretty much exploded, so no more XBOX (which we have been living without just fine)

2. The same day the XBOX exploded, out microwave decided it wanted in on the exploding action, so it gave Jed a light show and sparked when he opened the door. (Thankfully our great friends had an extra one and gave it to us so we're good there...you never realize how much you need a microwave!)

3. Our Mazda is now currently attached to a car dolly outside our home. About 20 minutes outside Tooele, in the middle of nowhere, it gave us problems and eventually just died. Luckily my brother was still needing to go home so he gave us a ride. The first person I asked in our ward if he knew of anyone with a car dolly...had one and he even helped Jed drive out and pick up our car. Jed and his buddy (and everyone he calls) is currently trying to figure out what's wrong, hoping to make it not cost too much for us...we're crossing our fingers for it to NOT be the transmission.

4. Jed just took the truck in to get an oil change and they it's definitely the brakes that are starting to squeak (which means new brakes) and there is a leak that need to be fixed...oh and he also got 2 rock chips filled! Luckily Jed is amazing and knows how to replace the brakes himself (and he thinks we already have some for the truck), so it just means time that will be spent and not money.

When it rains it pours!

The Pause Button

The other night Reid came to me in the middle of the night and told me he had a nightmare. I gave him as much sympathy as i could (since i was half asleep still) and told him that they go away when he wakes up. So now when he goes back to bed (hint hint) that it won't be there anymore. This is what he told me...
"No, I paused it."
Thankfully he went straight to bed right after that and didn't have any more problems, so I guess pausing your nightmares work because it's your choice whether or not you push play again!
