Blog catch up! CAUTION this post contains hunting pictures!

I am so behind on my blog it is sad! I am a little bit out of my element and my regular routine since we are still at my in-laws house. It also seems like since my last post we have been sick with colds and the flu! We have been an awful mess! However we are still alive and kicking! As most of you know I married a "hunt'n fool"! So Scott has been gone a lot but he just got home from his last "away" hunt. Which means you could still spot him in our beautiful mountains here at home. He just can't get enough of it! Any way Sage and I are very happy to have Daddy home! She sure lights up when her "da da" is home. As for our house situation one of our offers was rejected. We still have two in the works. Every time Scott calls me during the day a part of me is hoping that he is calling with good news on one of them! I am hoping we will be in a house by Christmas. Who know's with the current bail out situation. We think the banks are being slow because of it.
So time for pictures! A couple of weeks ago we went on our annual Wyomming antalope hunt. It's actually a lot of fun! Fun because it it so funny to stay in the most random hotels in the middle of no where. The hotel we stayed in was no exception. It was called The Virginian. It is about 100 years old and I am pretty sure they haven't done any remodeling or redecorating! There was also a train that went right by it that sounded its horn about every hour. Not only that there was a bar that stayed open all night. The second night I was sure to take some tylonol pm! In the end we were just happy to be together! Here are some picure's of "my" antolope. Scott got one too but he was alone in the early morning and we didn't get very many good pictures.

Farmington Trip

Last week Sage and I loaded up the car and headed to Farmington to visit my parents. It was a great trip! We were able to spend a lot of time with my Mom! Usually she is at work but this time she was able to get 1 and a half days off! It was so fun to just hang out with my Mom. Sage had so much fun playing with her Grandparents and cracking them up! She sure is a busy girl! We were also able to play with cousins and visit my friend Sarah and her little girl Ivie. It was great to see our two girls together. It is funny because like I tower over Sarah, Sage towers over Ivie. What cuties! It was also great to see my Grandma Irvin who just recently had a stroke but is doing amazingly well. She is such a sweet lady with such determination! It was also neat because I went to church with my parents. I was able to see my old youth leaders and other people that I grew up with. It was strange because it does not feel like the same ward I grew up in but it was still nice to visit. I love being able to go home and get a good dose of love and support from my family! Thanks again Mom! I love you.

Baby Week!!!

Last week was a very exciting week for the Simons family and the McGee family! In the Simons family, Gabriel, Natalie's baby, was born on Monday, and Lily, Melinda's baby was born on Friday. In the McGee family, Allison Chris's baby was born on Thursday. I am sad because I don't have a picture of Allison yet! But I've heard that she is so beautiful!! It was so fun to see these sweet new babies and experience the miracle of birth! We are excited for Sage to have all of these new girl cousins! They will be great friends I am sure! Congrat's to all of you!

Happy day's at Grandma and Grandpa's

This was my attempt today at taking picture's of Sage. I have been so horrible at it I thought it was time to post some new one's. We are doing great at the Simons household. I have finally started to get my "groove" back. It's funny because I always wished that I could just sit and do nothing. Well that happend and it was fun for about a day! So now I am busy trying to keep myself busy and trying to stay away from all of the goodies in this house! Overall we are happy and surviving!

The past two weeks of moving

Don't you hate it when you want to take a picture and your camera is dead?! That has been the story of my life recently. So even though our life has taken some drastic changes I have no pictures to remember them. Sad hugh....but yes our life has drastically changed. The past two weeks have been crammed with packing boxes, cleaning, and repairing our old house. It took us two weeks to pack and 3 days to move from our the place that we called home. It all happened so quickly that none of it seemed to sink in. The realization hit me Saturday. I just left my friends, (my amazing friends), my home of 3 years, and my first baby, Sadie. It all seems so strange right now. I feel like I have a lump in my throat that hasn't quiet been released. And honestly and very surprisingly I miss my dog. We have talked about selling her for a while now. It just so happened that the people moving into our house are huge animal lovers and loved Sadie. So not only did I leave my empty house behind, I left my dog in it. I don't miss having to take care of her, I miss how sweet she was with Sage, how Sage would chase her around and giggle like crazy, and I miss how she honestly seemed to love being apart of our family. I just hope that her new family will take good care of her. I am trying to remember that dogs don't think like us. They don't have emotions like us. I am sure that she is fine...
As for the update on our new home, there isn't one. We are anxiously awaiting to hear back from our agents. Hopefully we will get into a house soon. In the mean time we are enjoying living with Scott's parents. They are so great. They love Sage to pieces and spoil her rotten! I am trying to help out as much as I can while I am living with them with cleaning and cooking. I am just trying not to be a burden at all. I will keep you updated on our housing situation. In the mean time we will be with the in laws!

Cinderella Birthday Party!

My friend Terra threw an amazing birthday party for her daughter Briar on Saturday. It was so cute and so much fun! Sage loved her adorable little Tutu that Terra made for all of the little princesses! Thanks for inviting us Terra! You are amazing!

Puppy Birthday Party!

Our good friends Matt and Amy had their son, Wesley's birthday party on friday. It was so much fun and so cute! Amy set up a grooming station where the kids put on puppy ears and a dog collar with their name on it. It was so adorable. It was great to see them and to celebrate Wesley's 1st birthday! Thanks you guys!
