"Tangled"
Last night, my Sister-in-law, Shelly, and I took our girls to see Tangled. It was the CUTEST Disney Princess movie EVER!!! Mandy Moore plays Rapunzel and she just has the most beautiful voice. The music was great, it was funny, cute, a little scary, and the kids never took their eyes off the screen!
Our Almost-Home
The builder of our home is going to let us move in before closing. So today we unloaded the Penske truck into the garage, and Monday we should be able to move in after they finish touching up the paint and installing blinds. Anyway, I thought it was probably safe to post some pictures.
When you walk in the front door there is an office/extra room immediately to the right.

Update On Us
Sorry for the lack of fun/interesting posts with pictures.
After Clint and I found the house we wanted we loaded up the car and headed back to Utah to move our household goods that have been in storage since we moved to Korea. We were able to spend Thanksgiving with our families and it was so great. Our first Thanksgiving with them since 2005!
The night of Thanksgiving I decided, last minute, to armor up and battle the troops at Wal-Mart. I headed over at midnight, then went to Best Buy, stood in line for 2 hours for a washer and dryer that I didn't get, went to Target, got home at 6, left again at 7, went back to Wal Mart, went to the mall and finally got home aroung 1 pm. I think. I had absolutely no intentions of going shopping on Black Friday, but I ended up going and I got all my Christmas shopping done minus 1 or 2 things.
On Saturday after Thanksgiving we loaded up our Penske truck. We were planning on leaving Sunday, but Utah got hit with another snow storm, so we didn't make it out until Monday morning. After 27 hours straight of driving...we made it to Texas and went straight to a meeting with our realator and an inspector.
The builder of our house said we could move in upon loan approval, so we were expecting to move in soon. We hired an inspector to check things out, just to make sure everything was up to code. Unfortunately he found a few minor things that needed to be fixed and we aren't going to move in until they are fixed. We're hoping it will happen by this weekend, but who knows. So for now we are, once again, crashing with family.
I'll continue to keep you posted :) Because I know you're all SOOOOO curious!!!

House Hunters
Have you ever seen the show House Hunters on HGTV? Well, that is NOT how house hunting goes!!
Before arriving to Texas I looked at about 140 houses online. When I got here, I looked at about 32-35 of those houses in person. When Clint got here we looked at about 12 of the houses.
It just so happened that one day, when we were out with the realator, she got a phone call from another agent saying "hey, if your clients are hungry we're having an open house at _____ address." So, since our realator had to meet another couple to close on a house, we stopped by this open house.
We ended up LOVING the house. We put in an offer yesterday and it was accepted today. So, its not actually ours yet, but we're one step closer!!!!
We are leaving Texas tomorrow (Sunday) night and heading back to Utah. We'll be there for Thanksgiving and then the weekend after Thanksgiving we are loading up the Penske truck and heading back to Texas. So we won't be back for long, but at least we'll be there for the holiday.

Spinning Princesses
Morgan and her cousin, Ambria, are two peas in a pod. Probably because they're 3 weeks apart in age. Ambria has lots of little "spin dresses", and she loves to wear them and spin in circles. The other day we were in the living room and the girls came out with their shirts off (Morgan had her pants off too) and their spin dresses on.

Our Road Trip
Like I mentioned in a previous post, we left Utah on November 4th and headed to Texas. Just Morgan, Jackson and me. Everyone kept telling me I was "brave" to do it alone (which really just means crazy), but it wasn't too bad. We were blessed with safety and with no car problems. And we only missed one turn the whole way!! Here are some scenic pictures from Southern Utah through New Mexico.
Halloween
October 30, 2010-I think I'm the last person in the blogging world to blog about Halloween. Its been crazy being so unsettled the last couple of months. But I'm determined to get caught up this week.
It didn't take long for her to warm up to him though.

This year we spent Halloween with Clint's family.
Cousin Carson and Morgan. Can you tell she's afraid of him?

The Friday before Halloween my brother and I took our kids trick-or-treating at my mom's office.
2 Dallas Cowboy's cheerleaders and Minnie Mouse
That night, we totally surprised my mom with a Christmas birthday party. Her birthday was the 25th, and she is a Christmas FANATIC, so the theme was a no brainer!!I made the sign and decorations with my Cricut.

Waiting for the guest of honor.
SO SURPRISED!!!
Even more surprised when she opened her Christmas birthday gift.
It was a perfect brownie pan set

Clint's grandma Beth turned 80 this year. The kids and I were lucky enough to be here to celebrate with her.
And Jackson is......
"Scary Happy Birthday Pumpkin Cookies"
October 24, 2010
Morgan, Jackson, and I stayed the night at my in-laws the weekend before Halloween. We decided to bake some birthday cookies to send to Clint in Alabama. When I told Morgan that her daddy's birthday was on Halloween, she said, "oh, daddy's scary pumpkin birthday". She associates Halloween with pumpkins, and pumpkins (carved ones) must look scary to her.
