MBA Year 2

Thursday evening after leaving Bridal Veil we moved our stuff out of storage into a moving truck (with the help of Jeff and Josh!), slept at Matthew and Staci's house, then moved into Wymount the next morning. We're blessed to have so many helpful family members around. We're on the third floor this time which I don't love but at least we'll have bough legs by the end of the year! And we are closer to the playground than we were last year which makes it fun. We're still in the same quad, same ward, lots of the same people. Caleb's brother Josh started the MBA program so they live in our same quad which will be really fun. We have an awesome view of the mountains from our balcony which I love! Missing our dishwasher, but will be printing this off to hang next to the sink:

THANK HEAVEN FOR

DIRTY DISHES

THEY HAVE A TALE TO TELL

WHILE OTHER FOLKS GO HUNGRY,

WE’RE EATING VERY WELL

WITH HOME AND HEALTH

AND HAPPINESS

WE SHOULDN’T WANT TO FUSS

BY THIS STACK OF EVIDENCE

GOD’S VERY GOOD TO US.

Caleb had orientation with the first years last week (he's a mentor or "Sherpa" to a few first years as his job this year) and then started school this week so everything is in full swing. We went camping with some other MBA families at Payson lake our first weekend back which was fun, and I've been going to MBASA activities in the evenings! Feels like a nonstop party with these ladies. We get together during the days with our kids, without our kids in the mornings/evenings to workout or have classes or have dinner etc. and it's just a blast. Finally got over my achilles tendonitis this summer so I've been enjoying running again. Just really excited for this school year.  I still feel so grateful that we're at BYU in the MBA program and for all the great people we're getting to know and learn from. It really is an amazing bunch of students and spouses!
Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks back in Provo.

Samuel was sent to timeout and fell asleep! Our poor kids were in serious need of some structure in their lives after the crazy week or driving, wedding, and moving! Sam especially seemed not as sweet as usual. After a few days of stability he was back to normal but I was surprised how much it affected him. 

My new record for having both kids in bed and asleep. Booya!

Good thing he's a good boy because she sure looks up to him! Notice his necklace... for a few days he wanted to wear it all the time. He looks like a little gangster. I just adore these two kids and feel so blessed to get to spend as much time with them as I do.

7 Peaks!!

Eliza's first time holdling baby Jane. If Eliza sees any child under two she gets SO excited: "BABY! BABY!" So to hold one was pretty neat for her.

Stopping to do some "rock climbing" on our little family hike.

Tom and Laura came down for a couple nights. Cafe Rio salads and peaches! We all went to the temple together which was AWESOME.

He usually has about this many items that he wants to take to bed with him. And I usually don't fight it. :)
