Utah's weather always gets my hopes up and I hate it! One day it'll be 85 degrees, the next will be 50. So as you can see, I got fried on one of the hot days. It felt so good to be in the warm sun, it is definitely my comfort zone. Rob is either doing landscaping or selling door-to-door so he's outside all the time. His farmer's tan is so cute! Sunscreen is a must! PS I cut my hair...and I like it. My cousin Rebecca told me that I look like a mom now.
This couple I occasionally babysit for planned a trip to London. They asked Rob and I to babysit their kids for a week. The fun thing about it is, they are rich!!! They mentioned to us before they left that we have access to everything...first thing that popped into our minds were...their CARS! Today is the first day and it's been going well. Their mom left me an 8 page weekly agenda sheet that I have to abide to. We will be crazy this week taking kids to either dance, soccer, ChuckECheese, whatever it may be. We'll have fun!!
On April 2, my family took Brandon to the MTC. I have never taken anyone in before so I didn't know what to expect. We are in this chapel and there are tons of other families. We are dreading for the part when we have to say goodbye. At the time we were all pretty calm, but when that time came...OH MY...we all lost it. I was hyperventilating...even my other little brother, Logan, was crying. It was sad, but we knew it was the best thing Brandon
could ever do. It was such an example for Logan to start preparing! I have already written him 6 times, including 2 packages!! He's only been at the MTC for 2 weeks. Last week Rob scootered up to the temple and happened to see Brandon and his companion just hanging out by the fountains. I was so jealous when he told me. Brandon left this morning for the airport. I saw his bus in front of the MTC loading all the luggage. Of course I drove by to see if I could find him, unfortunately I didn't. We are so excited for Brandon and couldn't be more happier. He'll be a wonderful missionary in Spokane!!
Isn't he the cutest kid you have ever seen?! Fortunately my little boys will look like this hehe.
Hahaha look at his cute little messed up teeth! Bless his heart.
Rob and I are so thrilled to announce the adoption of our new son, Nicholas. He is our everything and adore him very much. Nicholas has been extremely helpful carting us around town and being beneficial to our financial problems. He doesn't ask for much, only $3.50 every other week. Nicholas is a chick magnet. They'll do anything for a ride. He's just too young for that still. Rob and I struggled with finding a decent name for our son. We are madly in love with LOST, so we thought of Charlie, Jack, Sayid...but then out of nowhere, I thought of Nicholas and it stuck with me. Unfortunately, Rob hates it and is calling him John Locke from LOST. Haha! All our friends and family call him both. So we have officially named him Nicholas John Locke Laney.
Rob and I had our honeymoon at my cousins condo on Coronado Island in California. It was absolutely phenomenal and we will never forget it :)! The condo is in this tower right on the beach that overlooks all of San Diego's bay. The cool thing about it is, through the huge windows that it has, we got to see like 5 different firework shows on New Years Eve night. We couldn't believe how warm it was in the middle of winter. We rode our bikes around town and played on the beach. It was the most relaxing and exhilarating week of my life!!
