It finally happened, we found renters for our house, (my Grandparents) and signed the closing documents for our new house. I am soooooo excited I can hardly wait. We won't be able to move this weekend because Jaime has to work and then this is his weekend "on" for the Media Team. But next weekend we should be able to completely move, it's an older house so it needs some serious cleaning but it is beautiful! The previous owners did a small remodel for us and well as giving a $2000 carpet allowance so with a little paint and cleaning it will look brand new.
On another note, we went camping this last weekend, it was a great trip. If you have never been to Goose lake it is definitely worth the trip, it's about 45 min. outside McCall. We all thought that it was one of the best campsites we had ever been to. The lake is beautiful and the campgrounds were very well kept. I wasn't sure how the girls would do, this being their first "real" tent camping trip; they did great! Gabrielle loved fishing ( the guys caught 10 trout on their first day!!) and Ashlynn loved target practice. We had heard that Goose Lake was a good place to find huckleberries so we went searching. We didn't find any, so we asked the camp host and he gave us directions to some, it seems we took a left when we should of taken a right. Next time I'm sure we will find them! It was quite an experience cooking over an open flame, all of the food turned out delish; a dutch oven is really a miracle invention! I think my favorite part was spending time with everyone around the campfire, eating s'mores and telling stories, I haven't laughed that hard in awhile!!(thanks Jared :o)) I feel so blessed to have a family that wants to do things with each other. I can't wait for our next trip.

Wii!!!!
Okay so I haven't posted in a while , not because I don't have the time, I seem to have plenty of that lately, mostly because I want to post that we moved into our new home, and that is not happening, we still have till the end of the month, but it's not looking very promising at this point.
I think we are totally getting into the whole 80's movement! We have been watching a lot of older movies our latest was a movie called The Wizard, it has Fred Savage in it, I used to love watching The Wonder Years, and I had a huge crush on him when I was little, then I found out that he was old and it practically crushed me, well Ashlynn seems to think he's pretty hot stuff so I thought I should let her know that he was wayyyy older than her, she was a little sad but she still thought it was a pretty good movie, my only worry is that Ashlynn and Gabrielle might start begging for scrunchies and leg warmers if we keep it up! We have done so many neat things this last month, picnics, swimming, boating, gardening, slumber parties, jump-rope competitions, movie nights...ect... It's been a really fun summer, I really enjoy that my girls are getting older and we can do things together. We bought a Wii a few weeks ago and we all really get into playing it together, it is definitely a family activity, most recently we found out that we can get all of the old Sega and NES games, I loved playing Super Mario bros. so Jaime bought it and we have all been playing it. I'm actually better at it than him, so we made a bet that if he saved the princess we would buy Super Mario bros. 2 and if I won we would buy 3. Well, I had gotten to the castle but couldn't get past the hammer bros. and so on his turn by some stroke if luck he got past and saved the princess, I couldn't believe it!! I'm better but he still won, so now we have #2, not one of my favorites, but Ash likes it because she can be the princess. Our friends Mike and Erin also have a Wii, they let us borrow their Wii fit, both girls are loving it! Jaime and I think it's pretty fun too, not sure if we would want to buy one yet though.
