You Didn't Guess it!!

So the unthinkable is happening. WE ARE MOVING YET AGAIN!!!!! This will be our SIXTH move I think since we have been married (3 years). This move is completely worth it though. We are moving into a house! When I called my family to tell them I asked my mom to guess what my news was. She said, "You're moving." But she was completely joking. I sure surprised her when I said she was correct. It has been a super busy month. We are packing up again, but we are also fixing up the house before we move. WOW! What a project. I just think of the end result and it keeps me going. The other day we flooding the house a little also. Opps :( I was moping up that mess for a while. We are painting the entire house. We had to wash, spackle, sand, prim, and then tape. The prep work was the hardest. The little things take the longest. It is looking good already! It's amazing what a good coat of new paint can do to a house. We are doing new carpet and laminate throughout the house as well. At least it didn't get wet before we did this :) This is all I think about and try to work on it during Cameron's naps while Jake's mom watches him. We couldn't have done it without his family. They have helped so much. Before and After pictures to come. It will be fun to compare the pictures and see how much we have done.

Thankful!!!

I have been meaning to put this video on my blog! It was very inspirational and touching to me. It was just what I needed to hear at the time. Being a mother is the most wonderful thing in the world. I have the sweetest boy in the world. I know every mother probably feels that way, but it's true:) It is the hardest thing I have ever done though. I am grateful I can turn to my Father in Heaven for help. I know I sure need it often. I often am at my breaking point as a mother. I love when I can put it all into perspective every once in a while. It makes it easier. I am so grateful for great parents and good friends who are good examples to me of great mothers and fathers. I am especially grateful for a wonderful husband. We have been through a lot of hard times and good times. He is a very patient and loving man. He helps me be more positive and look on the bright side of things, which I am not always the best at. He compliments me in every way. Sure he drives me crazy some times, but the longer I am married the more I fall in love with him. We recently celebrated our 3 year anniversary. A lot has happened in those three years including -- one crazy pregnancy, 5 moves, one baby boy, two graduations, and much more! I can't wait for what the rest of eternity has in store for us.

Summer Fun!

Thought I would start this post with a picture of the newest cousin -- Andrew. He is a cutie and such a sweet baby. It was great to finally see him and hold him! My sister Marguerite is amazing. He flew out with her two boys all by herself.

August was a busy and fun month. So there was the Farr family reunion in Nevada as I already posted. Also, before that we went to California and I auditioned for American Idol. No I didn't make it. It is nothing like how it is shown on TV, but it was a fun experience. I'm glad i did it! It will be a fun memory I'll always have. I wish I would have brought my camera to the audition, because there were some fun people. Oh well. Also, my family stayed with us after the family reunion in Nevada! They are good sports, because we just have a small two bedroom apartment. They stayed for a while to get my brother all sent off to school. He is going to BYU! It is fun to have him close by! We miss Stephanie since she transfered to BYU-Idaho. Anyway, here are some fun pictures. I have an awesome family. I am so lucky to have such great parents and siblings. They are all amazing. I miss them all the time. I wish we all lived closer together. I am glad we got to be together this summer. I love you guys!!

Fun Center at Wal-mart!

The whole gang (minus Mike... you were missed)

Bradley is so sweet with Cameron. Such a good older cousin.

Pool party with Amy's family when she and Dan were here. We miss you guys!

Here are some pictures of San Fran!

Summer Fun

My beautiful Grandmother: Lucille!!

My mom grew up in a little place called Antelope Valley in Nevada. Most people haven't heard of it, but that is because it is in the middle of nowhere. When we were little, we would go on vacation there for family reunions every year! It was the highlight of the year for us kids. We got to ride horses, ride four-wheelers and motorcycles, play in the dirt, rabbit hunting, hike mountains, and just be with family and play :) This summer we went there for another family reunion and it was just as fun! Cameron had a blast as well. All he wanted to do was ride the four-wheelers. GOOD TIMES! I love my family!! I will put all the pictures on a slideshow soon.

Clyde & Lucille Farr Had:

10 kids who had:

49 Grandchildren who had:

14 Great-Grandchildren (one on the way)

***I think these numbers are correct. They might be a little off. You get the idea though!

All because two people fell in love and got married! What a great legacy to leave behind.

This is most of the family! We weren't in the picture though. We got there a little

later. We will have to photo-shop ourselves in!!

Four-wheeler rides were a must!

Cameron found a ball and hoop. SURPRISED?! I'm not:)

We weeded around Grandpa's grave. They were getting big. It looks great now!

More four-wheeler rides

Our silly family!

We shot clay pigeons. Jake was the best! He showed us all up... it was quite impressive.

Bradley and Cameron would ride around in the handcart. They thought it was great.

Hogle Zoo

Dan & Amy were in town because of Ashton and Aaron's wedding. It was so much fun to see them and their cute baby boy Boston. We went to The Hogle Zoo and it was lots of fun. Cameron liked it, but he kept pointing out all the balls. Nice :) He sure has a one track mind. It was a great day!

Getting a little big for strollers!

The Gorillas were funny. One was hiding under a blanket and one was holding something over his head. This one was looking at his friend in the other room.

My arms are freakishly long. Who knew!?

Cute cousin Boston.

A&A Wedding

My wonderful boys

Best Buds. Cameron loves wearing sunglasses!

The cute couple!

The Rusts last child got married on the 10th of August! They are empty nesters now!! Ashton looked so beautiful and the ceremony was wonderful. It was a great day and really nice weather. Aaron is a great guy and we are so happy for them.
