Hello from the Pool!!!

Our family is officially in AZ! We got here Tuesday evening and moved in Wednesday morning! Everything went smooth thanks to Chris' parents who pulled our very large and wobbily trailer! I am currently sitting by our apartment pool (which we have been to every night!) We don't have internet yet and so pictures and more details will have to come later (I know... a post without pictures is sinful!) but we are alive and so happy! We expect visitors often!!!!

Major U Turn!

Our little family has had a major U turn in our lives! A couple of days ago Chris got a call from Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona... and let him know that he's been accepted! Chris and I spent the next several hours and deliberated what we should do. We are less than a week away from our move. We have decided to go! So Des Moines is out and Arizona is in! Chris has been applying to med school since we've been married and we are SO excited to finally get this process started! Arizona just feels right! We have been looking for housing in Des Moines for months... and hadn't found anything. Within 24 hours of being accepted we had housing picked out and the contract signed! Everything just fell into place. We will be leaving Tuesday and moving into our new home Wednesday!

This was Chris' Birthday gift that was delivered to the house late! I had a bright orange
(which if you know Chris... you know this can match his bright orange scrubs and bright orange crocs that are ummm... yeah... very bright!) stethoscope made for him that has his name engraved! Med school here we come!

Hague Family Reunion!

We spent last week at Bear Lake with my mom's side of the fam for the Hague family reunion! It was so much fun to see and catch up with everyone! Chris had his last day of work before we left so we were able to all relax together!

Before we left, McKenna and I went and got pedis!... ok... well I got a pedi and the lady there cut McKenna's nails! When I sat down she automatically put her hands on the dryer... she's a natural!

Brad and I! He is soooo tall!!!

Chels!!!!! We had so much fun catching up!

McKenna's Great Grandpa Hague!

Joshua, Livi, and McKenna... the Dalby cousins!!!

McKenna with her Aunt Shanna for the first time!!!

Hopefully more pictures to come!

Moving on

So much has happened lately! We are now officially as Chris would like to put it "squatters," living in his parent's basement until are big move to Iowa. The move went well and we are grateful they are letting us live here for a couple of weeks!


Saying goodbye to Mine and Chris' second home... McKenna's first home!

McKenna's first time in the grass at our temporary home!

McKenna had her 4 month check up and she is doing great! She is STILL getting over being sick and has a lingering cough and stuffy nose... we wish they would go away! We were very proud of ourselves because both McKenna and I did much better this time at the doctors! McKenna only cried a little and I didn't cry at all... man we're good! She continues to be tall and skinny with her stats being:

Height: 25.59 in. - 86 percentile
Weight: 13.34 lbs. - 33 percentile


For the 4th of July/Chris' b-day weekend we went to Bear Lake and stayed in his Aunt Betty's trailor right off the lake. It was fun except I got very sick on the 4th and unfortunately am still sick... boo. Happy 25th b-day Chris! We love you!

Chris' birthday cake! I didn't have any more pictures of Bear Lake because I was so sick... I think everyone was secretly glad so they didn't have me snapping pictures of them all weekend!
