August Happenings!

Well we are still here in Show Low but just until this weekend. We are FINALLY moving. Sadly we won't be able to move everything because I went to inspect our trailer and there were cracks all over in the walls and ceiling. So that is going to have to be repaired. So we are just moving some basic essentials. This has been such a long ordeal and very ridiculous process. But it will be nice to have our own place again and to be back as a family. My kids will finally have a father full time and I will get a husband back.




Landen turned four this year. Ever since his cousin Cohwen had his birthday in June, he knew his birthday was coming soon and he was so excited for it to come. He kept talking about his birthday cake and telling me what he wanted me to get him for his birthday. He wanted a fire truck and a front loader. The week before his birthday we went to Toys R'Us. I had my sisters take Landen so I could go find him a fire truck. My sisters told me that everything he saw he would say tell my mom I want that for my birthday. So funny. He knew we were there for him. I tried to hide it under the seat I'm my truck, but he saw it. Can't hide anything from that boy. I had a little party for him at my mom's house. He had a few friends over; Evan, Baiden, Jacey, and Tanaka. He got all trucks and he loved all of them.


Then that weekend we went to Flagstaff to spend the weekend with Byron. On Landen's birthday I bought him a small oreo cake. We gave him a birthday card with $4.00 in it. He thought that was so cool that he got money for his birhtday.


Byron and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary this year also. We went to a motel, went out to dinner; our favorite place PF Changs. This time I didn't get my favorite thing because it's spicy, since I'm breastfeedimg Josiah. But what I did get, I was very disappointed with. The rest of the evening we just hung out with each other. Then on Sunday he left me again for two weeks for more training. I will be so glad when all of his training is done and he won't be leaving us for that long anymore.
We bought Sydney a bike cause she kept wanting to ride Landen's. She can ride it, but she is concentrating so hard on watching her feet that she doesnt watch where she is going.
Josiah meeting great grandma Longhurst for the first time.

My sister Sherry had Ezra Eugene 9 days before I had Josiah.
My friend Mindy had Breklyn Mae 11 days after Josiah.
Byron's brother Ben and his wife Kristin had Benjamin Lucus 11 days after Josiah.
