2 months later

Well almost 2 months after our original ultrasound we had another one this morning. Baby decided to cooperate and we found out it was a.........

BOY

We are very excited. So far we think Anthony Miles Weiss for the name. Middle name is still debatable.

Life in Phoenix

After almost 3 weeks of hotel living with 2 kids and 3 cats we finally found a home. We moved in a week ago and have loved it. The neighbourhood is really kid friendly and our ward is crazy with the number of kids in it. There are currently 3 nurseries, that was just downsized from 5! Our first few days were a little rough in the house. The landlord didn't inform us we had to put the gas in our name or even turn it on. So we went 5 days with no hot water, no fun. I boiled a lot of water so the kids could take a bath since playing outside on a daily basis has been making them become very dirty. I am still slowly unpacking everything. Its hard to keep up motivation some days cause I either want to be outside playing with the kids or just sit and be brain dead during their nap time. I will get there eventually. I set a goal that it has to be done before our baby boy comes in 3 months, as you can tell I am giving myself plenty of time to accomplish my goal, ha ha.

New sunglasses. I must add that this is one of the rare occasions there are actually on correctly instead of upside down

Our first full day in the house CJ wore himself out by exploring

Playing in our backyard. Its all rocks but they don't seem to mind

This shows how happy Adam was to finally be HOME

Phoenix

We made it to Phoenix Saturday night. We were hoping to leave Cortez a lot earlier then we did on Friday but trying to get everything done took longer then expected. We finally hit the road Friday night around 7:30. We knew we wouldn't get as far as we wanted but we drove for about 3 hours till we made it to Gallop NM. The next day we took our time getting back on the road. We left the hotel at 10:30 and drove for around 3 hours till we got to Holbrook AZ where we stopped for lunch on Old Route 66. We got to Phoenix a little after 6 that night. When we got to the hotel I walked in with both kids and the woman upgraded us! We had reserved our hotel on Priceline and they usually give you just the basic 2 double beds. We ended up with the King Suite so there is the bedroom and separate living area with a pullout sofa sleeper. With 2 kids and 3 cats the more space we can have the better.
Adam and I have never moved with out a new place to live. Its been a little nerve racking. We are hoping that we can find a place in the next week or so since Adam was just informed that the company is wanting to send him out to Colorado for a new job in less then 2 weeks. The word 'stress' doesn't even begin to describe what house hunting and moving with 2 kids in a new city on my own makes me feel like. I am hoping and praying for the best and maybe even that Adam can stay around an extra week or so.

Here are some pictures of the kids from the last few days.

This is the night before we left Cortez. Katie is listening to Adams IPod. I love her face
