Utah, moving, hunting classes and gardening

Well, it's been a while. We were gone to Utah for a week and then the move. On the way to the airport we saw an amish baseball game. That was a first for me. In Utah we got to see our family and friends. Before we left I made a mental check list which I think I completed. Salad from Durangos - check, oatscream from Dixie Nutrition - check, Krumpets - check, Tia Pan - check, Roberts -check.  It was a great time. It was pretty hot there, enough for me to get the armpit tacos. Noah had a great time playing with cousins and a hard time at night because of the time difference. When we got home it was packing time. We started moving things into the garage of the new place on Wednesday after the carpets were cleaned.  On Thursday we moved the beds. Noah spilled milk on the freshly cleaned carpets right before he knocked over a bucket of water with paint brushes in it left by the "fix it guys" which hit the kitchen floor and splash up on Asher which scared him to death and made him cry which in turn made Noah cry because he felt bad which was just before I called Heath and told him I was done with the moving which was right before he came back to the house which was right before he told me he thought I wouldn't have a break down until I was almost 30 which was right before I reminded him I was almost 30. Really, just to sum it up, it was one of the best days of my life. :) Noah seems to be talking a little better. He says things like I got it, ball, and he is starting to say mom with some encouragement from dad. He likes to go around shaking hands but the funny thing is that he acts like he's spitting in his hand before he shakes. Today Heath gave him some binoculars so he could look at the wooded area behind our house. It's beginning hunting class (hunting 101). Heath is really excited because he saw a deer back there.

What the heck are armpit tacos? Scratch that- I don't want to know.

Armpit tacos = when your body gets too hot it's natural response is to sweat to cool down. A natural place to sweat is the armpit. When you sweat enough that it goes through your shirt forming a sweat mark on your shirt in the shape of a taco...this, my friend, is an armpit taco.
