Brin

Our friends have the cutest Yorkie puppy. Landon and Lauren love this dog. In fact, a few weeks ago we were driving in the car and Landon said, "I just can't stop thinking about that dog." She came over and we took some pics. Thanks Cheri!

Saratoga Springs

I talked smack about Saratoga Springs because I thought it was too far out but that's where we will be living. We made it up to SLC on the weekend and all the places we thought would be good, didn't work out. Luckily, Jerry had called a few places so we went to take a look and found a really nice couple needing to rent a townhome with a garage and small yard (those were our two requirements). We chatted a for a bit and worked things out with them. I think everything is going to be great. I am now working on preschool and school for Landon. We will be about 20 minutes away from Kevin and Lindsay and really close to Landon and Dana. We will also be close to Gary's family so we can see them more often. We are excited. We also have a Wal-mart close which anyone who knows me knows I LOVE going to Wal-mart (ha, ha, ha). We have a love/hate relationship :> We will have the movers here on the 12th to pack up all our stuff!

Outpatient Pavillion

Jerry took us on a tour of his project he has been working on. It is a beautiful building. The first picture is looking at the hospital from the top. It is scheduled to open next week. I loved the pool with the treadmill in it. We are so proud of his accomplishments. He really loves working for Jacobsen and loves the people he works with. We are so grateful he is doing something he loves.

Star Wars

Lauren just told me she is sick of watching Star Wars but she is about to fall in love with Darth Vader? I'm so confused. Both kids have been marching around humming the theme all morning.

Kids

Landon reacted well to the news of the move. He thought about it for a minute and then said, "I think its a good idea to move. Its way too hot here!" Lauren on the other hand, not so well. She started crying uncontrollably, calmed down for a second and then realized the Bingham's were staying here. WOW. She cried herself to sleep on Jerry's lap. Avery has learned to scream and climb. When she doesn't get what she wants, she screams at the top of her lungs. Jerry thinks she learned how in nursery. She wants to climb constantly and does not seem aware of any of the dangers involved. We are progressing with the move and hoping to find a place to live this weekend.

Moving

We found out today we are moving to Salt Lake City. We are very excited and sad at the same time. It is hard to imagine our life will not include Saint George. Jerry will finish his project here in a few weeks and we were told we need to be in SLC by August 15th! I am so proud of Jerry and all he has accomplished here. We are very grateful for the opportunities we have had here and the blessings which have come to our little family. I am sure this move will be for the best and hope everything will fall into place in the next few weeks.

Kids

Lauren requested to have the skin peeled off her apple this morning. Landon said, "Lauren, Grandma says that is where all the vitamins are." Lauren wasn't interested. Then Landon said, "I think Grandma went to fruit school because she knows everything about fruits!" Then after thinking for a minute he said, "Grandpa is a good builder. I think Dad should design a building and Grandpa should build it." I told him this was a fabulous idea.

Swimming

If you wonder what we have been doing this summer we have been SWIMMING. We have spent a lot of time at the pool. It's the only way to survive our 110 degree weather!
