Guess its time to let out the news....
We are only 9 weeks! This is the earliest I have
ever announced it but I am feeling good and
the ultra sound looks good....
And Yes we will definitely be finding out if it is a boy or not!

Im a school bus driver!!
James started Pre-School two weeks ago!! I get to drive him three days a week. He loves it. He goes to Small Fry Pre-School with Mrs. Barb. Max is sad and always wants to go. I love it because Max falls asleep on the way home- can we say Free Time??!! Wow. I've mostly been doing absolutely nothing!!
(Look at the killer Arizona landscaping--sarcastic)
We are proud of you James- keep up the good work!
Max- you can keep sleeping!

A few things....
Finally I am able to download pics because we finally have a working computer!!! So you finally get to see a little bit of what we have been doing!!
The BIG Disclaimer is that in moving we lost our camera cord so all our photos come from our phones!!! The quality is not so great!! Hope you enjoy any way. Seriously something is better than nothing?!
In backward fashion:
We are enjoying AZ!! In all the chaos we have managed to do this:
Illegal Fireworks on Labor Day with our smores
Enjoying the children's museum--of course with the thumb...
Learning about splash pads and getting cooled off. They are everywhere
The Drive in to see Nanny McPhee and Toy Story 3. Yes they stayed
up the whole time. And Yes it was 103 degrees even at midnight!!
Maxies 2nd Birthday--Mickey inspired!!
Exploring White Tank Mountain National Park
Robert likes working where people bring these to work
(no hes not ours!)
Playing at Tortilla Flats (not the cali restaurant)
Just in time to meet new cousin baby Ezra
Before we got to arizona we spent sometime with this guy
at the most magical place on earth
Hanging out with California family
Our first family hike at Pluto's Cave in Mount Shasta
The kids were so brave and more adventurous than me.
We stayed at Grandma Janness's House in Nor Cal for almost a month
Anniversary trip in Santa Cruz
Robert with friends hiking Quintet
Before Cali came Circus Circus in Reno
Now a Harris Family White Trash Tradition (2nd Annual)
Traveling in a car almost three months ago!! Crazy how time flies!
So there is our backward time line. Basic and short! We love and miss all of you-- Really!!
You all have a place down here whenever you want to visit- especially those who have to go through long cold winters.
We'll be in touch more
Love:us

so we made it...kind of
For the update, We found a great renter!! It is so amazing how the Lord works in our lives to give us just what we want and therefore bring us the most happiness. I have had some hard lessons in not listening to the Spirit but I knew that renting our house out needed to be a process and choice that was heavily dependant upon the Lord. We kept finding people that seemed amazing but my gut deep down inside didn't feel right. It took a lot of faith to say no and keep looking. Then of course we found the perfect person for our home! How am I amazed everytime that the Spirit is right??!! I always think of it like exercise. It has always made us feel good so why dont we want to do it??!! The Same is with the Spirit- why is it that I tend to not want to follow it and do what I want to do. This has been a good lesson for me and for our family of being Patient and making Good Choices.
Anyway, How is that for a Sunday school lesson??!!
We packed up our things in a week!! We drove out to Cali and had U-Box (Like the PODS) deliver our stuff to Phoenix. We dropped off our kids for Grandkid camp, celebrated Kamie's B-day, and then we were off to Santa Cruz for a week of kid free relaxation and anniversary celebrating. I dont think I have had such a relaxing vacation since I have had kids. I was actually able to let-go in my mind and just enjoy the week.
We still haven't picked the kids up yet. We are going to drive up this next week to Rob's Moms and visit with her and her parents for a week. Then Rob will fly out to Salt Lake and drive his car down to Phoenix and start work there the 6th of July. I will stay in Cali until the 19th of July or so and Janness (Robs Mom) will drive down to Phoenix with me just in time for Myrna (Sis-in-law) to deliver her baby. It will be a fun summer but I can sense I will be anxious to find a place of my own.
What an adventure. When we lived in Sacramento before Rob always wanted to live in Phoenix- I thought it would be too hot. Now we are going and I am so excited. I think I could live in Sac too. being back here feels like home- there are so many good people here and I love the weather... but for now-- I do not want to move again!! It is terrible- the packing the cleaning it is endless. We will miss all our Utah neighbors and family- of course. But there are no goodbyes- only -"I'll see you later!!!"

We are alive
Every time I run into someone or give them a way too over due phone call back they say-- "Wow are you alive??!!"
So I thought I'd post to let you know that we are still here in Utah! We are trying to muddle through all the moving stuff-- We've had our house for sale for 5 months. 1 1/2 months For Sale By Owner and then with a realtor. We have showed it A TON and had 1 broken contract.
So now we are trying to rent it out and have had good response. We jsut are so Naive about the process we feel a little stressed. We want to make sure we are taking the right steps and covering everything we need to.
So we were ready to sign a contract today and I get an email from a girl who says her credit is excellent and her and her husband are looking to rent it for 4 years while they are in school. What??!! So now I want to hold out. We have only had the house listed for 4 days as a rental so maybe we should just slow down a bit and wait....
Also I cant believe how many renters have bankruptcies!! Maybe I shouldn't be suprised in this economy-you never know what obstacles you will face. I am just glad for the Gospel that teaches us to live frugally and save save save- live within your means. The Prophet truely is a seer that can see our day.
Anyway, our goal is to make a decision by the end of summer and finally get to AZ.
We won't know what to talk about after all this is settled- all we talk about is the HOUSE!! ARghh.
Robert loves his new position- he is doing in-house workers-comp insurance for Corporate Pet'sMart with the same company he is at now. They have been extremely patient with him and we are so grateful to his boss and Pet'sMart for being so cool.
We will post pics someday and get back to normal blogging and living, but as for now....
Its all about the house!
