getting settled

Well we are here. things are going pretty well and it is starting to get cold it will have to be an adjustment to getting used to the cold weather again as I seem to remember when I was growing up that when Halloween came around we were in snow suits under our costumes. the kids will defiantly miss going trick or treating in hp where it is warm, but I guess they also do trick or treating in the malls around here also. as for September I went to church for the first time on Sunday since we have been up here and well it was interesting they didn't seem to know much about the church. the last weekend of Sept. we are going to do so sealings for Kevin's grandparents that is if Kevin can get his recommend signed by then we will see what happens also this weekend we will finally be getting our Durangoafter a month of not having it. it will be nice to finally have it again. Kevin has been busy and I think he is liking his work he is actually off to a green housing convention for work so it will be interesting to see what he comes home with as we would like to build our next house green as much as possible. kyro has some exciting news she tried out for the nutcracker with the Moscow ballet that is coming to the area and she will be preforming in that this November she is so excited about it. DJ has started tae quon do and loves it . it is so good for him to have the structure. he is also doing great in school and liking his teacher he is making lots of friends and kyro is struggling with making friends and is getting down in the dumps about it cause she really has never had any problems with it before. she sure misses Alyssa and her other friends there. the curse has also caught up to me also about two days after we moved in I ended up with kids from the neighborhood here at my house the funny thing is they are 12 and 13 a 12 year old boy and a 13 yr old girl and I can't figure out why would they want to hang out with my family when I only have a9 and 7 yr old it is weird although the boy who comes over is obnoxious and drives me crazy. so needles to say I can't wait to get building our home and get out in to the country. as for building we are actually starting to get our plans approved and hopefully by November we can start the process and be in our home by next summer. so that will be nice. Matt is so funny I gave him a haircut on Monday and well I left my clippers out on the counter and well later that night as I was tucking in the kids we hear a uzzing sound but we thought it was our tooth brush and didn't think any thing about it until we came into the kitchen and saw matt shaving his head with the clippers and with no guard so needless to say he is bald now and looks so funny with out hair. Kyro has dance twice a week Mon and Thursday and DJ has tae quon do twice a week Tuesday's and Thursday's. I am handling things better but miss a ot of stuff and people and think of you all often and when I do I cry cause I miss you all so much You are all a big park of our lives and will always be as I have made some precious friendships that I will never forget. I love and miss you all so much and hope everything is going well for all of you and your dreams are coming true. so Until next time take it easy
