Big News in our family!

Mekayla lost her first tooth! We are so excited for her and it makes us realize how old she is getting! She now has 3 more loose teeth and will have all four front teeth gone soon! She's so cute, she'll put her tongue in her empty spot! I remember doing that and now my daughter is! She was pretty excited to wake up to the money the tooth fairy left!!
Dallin is now feeling better and is started to eat baby food! That is a big step for him because up to now he has just gagged on it and then threw up for three days afterward. He is reaching for my food all the time and whines when he doesn't get something to eat! The other day, he stole a cracker from my hand that I was eating! He's so much fun!
The biggest news is that we have decided that it is time to MOVE! We are moving to Logan, Utah and are very excited about this new change our family will be experiencing! Brett has decided that online classes aren't for him and needs to be in a classroom setting! We weighed all our options and took it to the Lord and USU is the answer we got! Everything has started falling into place and this is the place we need to go! We will be moving sometime after Mekayla gets out of school and the girls have their final dance recital which are both in June! Brett and I will be going down with Dallin in a few weeks to find housing and a job! We are very anxious to be closer to my family, but Brett's mom is having a really hard time with it and will break into tears occasionally! Brett is going to go through the pre-service program for teaching seminary this next year and working full-time so that we can get residency in Utah. It is outrageously different with the in-state and out of state tuition costs! The kids are excited and want to move now! We are going to have a yard sale before we leave and Tepaynga is constantly putting stuff with the yard sale things so she can get money to spend this summer at Lagoon amusement park Mekayla is a little more attached to her things!! Anyway, I'll keep ya' updated on our happenings and we make this crazy move!!
