A few of our precious moments that did get captured


who says teachers
can't be great friends, too

I am glad for times when the camera is handy to capture these special moments that go by too fast.

Birthdays--Before and After the Move




William turned 2 just before we went into a whirlwind of packing.......
Lillian turned 10 just after we got mostly settled in. 
It was a OOPS! trip that luckily found her present
I made her a guitar cake to go with her GIRLS ROCK theme.
The Coat was found in storage--Thanks for little tender mercies!

When the spirt speaks--JUMP!

Sorry that the posts seemed to stop as soon as they started...Life moved fast for us in a short time.  Jeff and all of us were getting a lot tired of the "ON CALL 24/7" job and thought it wouldn't hurt to see if we might find anything closer to family.  Well there was one job in Hyde Park, UT that looked just right for our family and we thought we would take a chance.  The resume was sent and only Jeff and I, Heidi, knew all the details of what we were doing as we figured nothing would probably come of it.  We really thought this as time passed with no real word on what was going on.  Then after many prayers and thought we finally said if it is right let us know now or close the doors so we can move on with the "ON CALL 24/7" life.  Then Jeff went in for anoher interview and was told we may know sometime in the next week.  I prayed being a bit discouraged saying "I need to know now not in a week... I want to move on to what is next in life...even if it is the same with no change".  Shortly after I took a nap (I had not been sleeping well with so many things going through my mind--and Emily was having some rough times with getting sick from her lowered immune system due to new medications), I got a call from the boss of the company in Hyde Park.  He needed to get a hold of Jeff to offer him the job.  It was something that fell into place so quickly with little trouble that within two weeks we were moved.  We got the job offer on January 7th.  Jeff started his new job on January 17th while I stayed back with the kids to pack with many great neighbors and ward members. Jeff then returned on January 21st to help with the last minutes and we were on our way with a loaded moving truck on Saturday January 22nd.  The move was a little crazy..  As we moved into Jeff's parents home while they finish up their LDS mission in Salt Lake and while we try to sell our home in Blackfoot.  I think we are manageing with only a few "OOPS I needed that" and a trip to the storage.  We have learned many things through this move so far and am sure we will learn many more--but the one that strikes me most is....If we will JUMP even without full understanding when the Lord answers our prayers things do fall into place--even if we have to look back to see it fully.
