Loan approved!

We were approved on Monday for our loan and now we are in the process of building a house. Yikes! It's exciting and scary at the same time... fun to have our own place, hoping we will have a good experience and stay within budget. The lot is in Orem, UT right by the mall, behind Best Buy (two dangerous places), so close to UVU and lots of bus stops so getting Zach to school will be so easy to do. Gas expenses will decrease dramatically!

Dancing, dancing, dancing

SO Zach and I are taking a American Social Dance class together- how fun is that? His sister, Kobi, and his brother, Giff and their spouses are taking it with us so every Thursday night for six weeks we have a fun outing. :) Well, we thought it would be like a date BUT come to find out, we have to change partners the whole time- oh dear! The girls had to dance with Kyle, Shane and Kurt and the boys had to dance with Rhonda, Yolanda, and Susan. But already we are professionals at the basic swing step- even doing a little turn...I love my husband!

School is cool!

Right now our favorite song is "Choose, choose the rule train, it's coming down the track. Eyes that are watching, ears that are listening, mouths that are silent, hands that are still, feet that are quiet. Choose, choose the rule train, it's coming down the track!" Hyrum sings it in his class, obviously :). Yesterday he said as we were walking home "Mommy, I don't miss playing with my toys, or swinging on the swings, or jumping on the tramp, or playing with my friends while I'm at school. School is so fun! I get to play with friends and on the swings and with toys at school!" It just makes me happy that he likes it so much- he has always been a question asker and now Weston does the same..."Mommy, what are peaches good for? What are zebras good for? What do Hungry Hippos do?" It is fun to dicover what the world is all about. Two days ago we went to the BYU duck pond and fed the hundreds of hungry ducks that now know that people mean food. They climb over your feet and eat right out of your hand even if you don't want them to. We watched the baby ducks and the turtles and even found a snake to follow for a while- the earth is amazing and I love sharing it with my boys!
