Starting with today, going to church was probably the biggest adventure we've had in awhile. Since my car is LAME and currently out of commission (due to who knows what..AND a flat tire on top of it all. dang construction people) we fit all 3 of us in Ryan's single cab, Toyota Tacoma. We were glad that it worked so that we could at least make it to church. Tyler's car seat fit, Ryan and I could kind of sit and as long as Tyler didn't kick the stick shift out of gear we were fine ;) We made it to our new ward, the Mountain's Edge Ward, and we were greeted by a couple people. Mostly those who helped us move in on Saturday and their wives. I met a few moms out running the halls with their crazy children as well.
Saturday, and all of moving for that matter, was pretty easy. Tyler has been an absolute riot. He caught on awhile ago that we were putting things in boxes and taking other things out of cupboards. Needless to say, he has been a great helper packing and unpacking boxes. Tyler has also discovered that tools really are fun. He is very adamant about helping with anything that involves tools. He loved helping to take down and put up the beds, installing the water line for the ice maker, trying to get the dryer working (still not quite) and recently he helped us change a tire on my car.
Our morning on Saturday was long and crazy. Between moving over here, returning the truck, getting food, packing more stuff in our cars, and getting back over here to the new house Tyler was WAY over due for his nap. He was a champ the whole time and quickly passed out and even took a good nap in his crib in his new room.
We are looking forward to Monday to try to get my car fixed. Unfortunately that has taken precedence over other plans like grocery shopping, getting odds and ends for the house, and any other outings. Hopefully everything is nice and calm before Ryan leaves us to go back to work with his new schedule working Tuesday - Saturday.
