September 2008

Congratulations to Rachel and Jason!!! Their son Wyatt Cole Harker was born on September 1, 2008. Halle finally has a cousin! He is adorable.

Also, congratulations to Emma for graduating Cosmo! We knew you could do it!

And now for the BAD NEWS...
My parents' computer crashed. So while we wait for them to get a new one, we are using this really old ghetto one that freezes up all the time. So I won't be able to post all my pictures for a while. I can probably manage to post a couple now and then, but that might be pushing it. I have a lot of pictures that I can't even put on this old computer, let alone upload them.
We have our computer too, but it isn't connected to the internet yet. My parents have wireless internet, and we don't have a wireless card or anything. But maybe we will get one soon so we can function.

And more bad news - Lexie ran away. Last Tuesday when I got home from work, she was gone and Nigel was whining. Ever since we moved up here she has been digging out or climbing over the top of the 6 foot chain link fence, but she has always stayed close to the house. My mom saw her at lunch that day, so that means she disappeared in the middle of the afternoon. We are hoping someone saw her and took her in so we are going to put up fliers.
Nigel is really lonely and now I'm afraid if he gets out, he will run off too because he doesn't have a buddy. :(

Other than that, things are going great. We like our jobs, the weather is awesome, and we are making progress on our house Gilbert. We ride our lifted golf cart almost every night and Halle loves it. It's nice to have dirt roads and trails to ride on right around the house. We didn't get much chance to ride it in Gilbert because it was so much hassle to plan out when and where to go.

Emma graduated cosmetology last Saturday and we stopped by to see her on her last day before heading down to work on our house.
Hill got to come stay with us for 10 days before that, while Tyler was in Colorado training for his new job in Las Vegas. So maybe we will get to see them more often than when they lived closer???

Halle loves riding the horses and playing with all the animals. She doesn't especially love the baby I am babysitting, but she probably just gets bored. She likes to play with Veronica & Vanessa, the daughters of our friends in Show Low, so hopefully we will have time to see them more. And hopefully she will make some friends in our ward.

My dad is back in Snowflake now that his job in Safford is finished, so we are glad we get to see him more often. Especially Halle, because he can take her horseback riding more often.

We got to see our good friends Drew & Jessica on Saturday and that was really fun. Halle loved playing with their son Sy, who is almost 5. They played dress up and watched Incredibles while the grown-ups watched Baby Mama, haha. We miss you guys and hope to see you again soon!
