Moving SUCKS!!!

Sorry if that word offends anyone, Mom you especially. I am really tired of packing and moving and storage units and moving again. I hope with all my might that we can find a great place in San Diego and stay there for 3 years. 3 Years in the same place, I don't know what to think of that. Maybe then I will be a happier house packer.

What a week!!!

I must admit this was a very emotional week. The match was this past Tuesday and we were all expecting a match with a residency program in Michigan. So we were very stressed when it was not so. So Loren began to scramble, which means applying to all of the programs that still had spots open. On Friday Loren heard from the Scripps program in San Diego. They wanted to interview him, so away he went on a quick drive. Late Saturday night they called him and said they wanted him. This program is one of the top programs in the nation.
It was a very stressfull week and I felt completely helpless as a wife. Loren has worked so hard and I couldn't be more proud of him. San Diego will be a very interesting experience. We joke that we will either be living in a double wide or a tent on the beach but atleast we will be together.
So now we will pack up and go to Mesa and live with Loren's parents until the middle of June when we will journey to a new home in San Diego.

Potty anyone?


Thanks Jana, I totally forgot the best part of the trip. For months now Tyden has been flushing things down the toilets. It does not matter how we discipline him he loves to do it. In Mesa he recruited Jaxons help and flush gobs of things. IE: combs, pens, contact case, toothpaste lid, shoe polish. I was able to grab a bottle of lotion and a diaper from the trash before Tyden was successful in that flush. They both were wet up to their elbows and both received royal beatings. Anyways that night Loren took the toilet off so he could clean out the rest of the stuff and that is how we got this beautiful shot. Don't worry he isn't really naked, but it sure made me laugh!

Trip to Mesa









So we spent the last two weeks in Mesa and we had a great time. We went to the Arizona Science museum. It was a lot of fun and these dinosaurs moved there bodies and made all sorts of cool dino noises. (do we actually know what they sounded like?) Anyways Jaxon did not want to turn his head and look at the camera. I don't know if he was scared he would get eaten or if he thought it was that cool.
The boys had a bubble blast in grandmas jet tub. Tyden got so tired one day he just laid down and went to sleep at the top of the stairs. Jaxon has finally taken the plunge and tried this thing called walking. Like all kids when they first walk it is so cute!
The boys are definitely looking forward to our super long stay at the Spencer's. So are we because that means that we are that much closer to starting residency!!!
