We're finally here


Cooper helping loading the trailer. He even carried two gallon jugs of water. Once in each hand. He was kind of wabbly doing it.

Here are the two trailers filling up and Tyrel's truck on the flatbed in the distance

Just a cute picture of the boys enjoying their dinner

Cooper and Trip finally getting to enjoy their John Deere wagon they got for Christmas for Tyrel's parents. It's been at their house since we were moving here so they hung onto it.

Here's the boys toy room.

the family room

More of the family room.

Well we are settled in!! Getting here was a little rougher than we thought. Tyrel's Dad and brothers Coy and Spur started off by bring three trailors. Two for our stuff and one was a flat bed to haul Tyrel's 1976 Ford pickup. We got things loaded up and head to Bayfield,CO. Then about about an hour away from Bayfield on the same hill Coy's and Troy's trucks broke down. Troy's truck was completely dead so Coy litteraly pushed Troy's dually 4-door Ford pickup out from underneathe the trailor and then Spur hooked his truck up to the trailor. They took Tyrel's 76 Ford and hooked it up to the flatbed and since Coy's truck had a little power left they put it on the flatbed hauled it an hour to bayfield probably getting about 6 miles to the gallon using about a whole tank of gas. And Coy's truck was probably the heaviest of them all. Then once they got to bayfield Spur went back to get the other trailor with our stuff and a wrecker had to haul Troys truck to the shop since it didn't have enough power to get up on the flatbed trailer. So instead of getting to Bayfield at about 4:30pm they got in unloaded the one trailor with stuff that could freeze and got to the Tyrel's parents house at about 10:30. Once this all started I left with the two little boys because they had enough of the car and I just went to Tyrel's mom and dad's house in Pagosa to put the boys to bed. Then on Saturday Tyrel's mom watched the boys all day while Tyrel and I unpacked!! I think we started unpacking on Saturday and by Monday all the boxes where unpacked and stuff put away. We are settling well. Cooper is having a little bit of a rough time with all the changes, but it getting there. He is usually great with nursery and even when he visits other wards he's great, but with all the changes he has had a rough two weeks. The first week he went in just fine and then an hour later he came out crying and had to have one of us in there the whole two hours today. He has a rough time getting to bed except finally last night it only took 15 min instead of an hour and he freaks out if we are going to leave. But he loves living next door to "papa john" and "mama georgie" Tyrel's grandpa and grandma!! He asked to go over and visit all the time!! He has plenty of space to run around and get dirty!! We are grateful to be here and are excited to start looking for something to buy!!

Your dad was here last night on his way home from Deb's house to pick up more things. I told him we enjoyed your blog (hint, hint!)
We are glad you are there and hope you find something you like to buy. Now is a good time for that.

Your house looks soooo cute already! You are awesome! I am sure that Cooper will start to adjust soon - and how awesome that you get to live so close to the grandparents! We spent a summer living in my grandparents backyard in a trailer and it was the best summer EVER!

Gosh we miss you guys. Dylan kept asking for Cooper the week after you left and he still ask to play with him when we go somewhere. It breaks my heart everytime he ask, I know he doesn't really understand that Cooper moved.
Anyway, glad you guys are settled in, your house is so cute.
I am going to try to potty train Tyson starting next week. Could you email what I am supposted to do again. I need a reminder of how it is supposed to work.
