Texas!

Well, we made it to Texas on may 10th. We barely made it to our apt on time to get our keys. We had to get there by 6pm, before the office closed. We got there at 5pm. We were tired and unpacked quickly. We needed a shower curtain and then planed on going to bed early. So we went down the street to the walmart. It said 'neighborhood walmart'. Which means only food. No shower curtain, but that didn't stop us. We just showered with nothing. But it did stop us from playing tennis, no balls.

Maden wants to play tennis

We were at Apple watching blake's tennis match and maden wanted to play too. Brian had to run after maden so he didn't disturb the match. He like laying on the court with his blankie. it's hard for a baby to have tennis etiquette.

Packing up

We started packing the trailer. It all just barely fit. It took 2 days to load and another day to finish cleaning. It made me realize that we have a lot of stuff. (junk). We gave away a lot of stuff. We just hope that it all fits in our new apartment.

Our last Sunday

This past Sunday was our last Sunday in our ward in Idaho falls. We made it relatively uneventful thanks to not telling half the ward that we were moving. Let alone telling them it was our last Sunday. Maden and Brian wore their matching ties. Randall and Courtney came too. I told every one they were the replacement Purcell's.

Mother's Day Surprise!

this mother's day we had a little surprise for each of our mom's. We gave them the same present. It is a picture slide show. Take a look. Let us know what you think.

Fighter's Frozen Treats

It wasn't a particular hot day. But you got to start sometime. Opening day was April 25, 2009. We only went around for two hours to the development across the street and our own development. We sold about 70 pieces of ice cream. The most popular: Sponge Bob Square Pants. The kids were so excited, they were following me around with their bikes buying more. It was tons of fun and hopefully was just the begining of a great summer. We found out alot of things. The Freezer stayed cooled, the music lasted, and now we know what sells. Bring on the summer.

Hunter's Ed

Well, we finally figured out that we have double the chances of getting drawn a tag if we both put in for it. So for Brian's birthday present i took the hunter's safety course. Turns out i'm amazing. I got a 100% on the test and I was the best shooter in my field day lesson. It's not hard to beat a bunch of 12 year olds.

It was a good learning experience and now that we have a freezer chest there is nothing left to do but to shoot an animal. They make the lefty's go to the end of the shooting range. Check out those camo pants. I think that was the secret to my success.
