Cute Conversations with Brody

On our drive to church on Sunday we were talking about the people we would see-Brody loves so many of our friends in the ward. We asked him, "what other friends are we going to see at church today?" His reply with a smile on his face, "Jesus."

Our little Brody is doing really well with the transition of moving to Grandma's house, but I think he is a little bit confused on why we are staying here so long. We have talked to him about saying goodbye to the old house and that we're going to get a new one, but he is constantly surprised at finding items (decorations and even cleaning supplies) that were in our home here. We have a statue of Christ that was on our landing in our old house. I didn't want anything to happen to it so it is in the formal living room here. Brody just discovered it yesterday. Here is the conversation.
Brody: Momma, look! My Jesus is at Grandma's house! (As he goes over and practically gives the statue a hug)
Me: Yes Brody, Jesus is at Grandma's house. Remember, we said goodbye to the old house so we brought Jesus with us. We don't have a house right now.
Brody, with his hands on his cheeks: Oh no!

Our Christmas/Moving Frenzy

I'm finally feeling like I have enough time to write a post! We have now officially moved out/sold our previous home and are living with Rob's parents. Brody is in heaven having his grandma around all the time. Here's a quick review of the past week (sans pictures again!).

We had dinner Christmas Eve at Rob's house with all his siblings. After opening presents we went home, put the boys to bed and the rest of the gifts around the tree. Luckily we had wrapped everything beforehand so we were actually able to go to bed at a decent hour.

Christmas morning was fun. Apparently we went a little overboard though because Brody was sick of opening gifts before he even got to the ones from me and Rob. I'll have to keep that in mind for next year. Anyway, Brody was really cute and excited to see all the gifts and especially wanted to play with his new golf set. We got ready for the day and then went to Rob's parents home for breakfast and then just hung around a bit. We then ventured through quite a bit of snow to get to my parents house (the whole 3-4 miles). We had dinner there and then just relaxed until we went home.

It's a good thing Christmas day was pretty easy because the next week was crazy. Rob's sister and her husband came to our house on Friday and watched the boys while we packed up the house. It was so nice to have them there. Our original plan was to rent a truck and move out last Saturday, but I talked to the storage facility on Friday and it had snowed so much they recommended we wait as long as possible to move because so many trucks were getting stuck in the snow. After hearing that we decided to cancel moving all the big stuff, and just move as many boxes as possible in our car, his dad's suburban and my brother's van. (Since it was just going to be a few things I had also called all my brothers and told them we didn't need them anymore). Saturday came and we started moving things and it just continued from there. We ended up moving all day and moved pretty much everything except my piano. I couldn't believe it. We cleaned the house Monday morning, went and signed the papers, and I had piano movers come and get my piano to put in storage on Tuesday and locked the doors and left the key behind me. (And for those of you that know me well, I left my coat in the house too, duh.)

We did also find out on Monday that the bank was going to accept our offer on the home in South Jordan. We are really excited about that, but there still is a bit of paperwork and things to do, so it is not quite official yet.

Thanks for reading my ramblings. Leave a comment just to say hi. Oh yeah, and Happy New Year!
