Ok so all my pictures came up not in order so I'll just tell you what each one is! =)
This is what I walked in to on Saturday after Nik picked me up from the airport... they got there kinda late and it was so stinkin hot and they had already unloaded one family that everyone was just so hot and tired it all just got piled in our apartment! Luckily I had my sister here with us for a couple of days to help with the kids while we unpacked and stuff! Love you Sara!
This is the apartment after a lot of putting away, and it still looks horrible! It does look better now, I'll get those pictures on soon!
So when we were at the airport we looked pretty funny, but it wasn't really funny! My sister and I both had a baby, a carseat, a carry-on and a diaper bag, and to go through security we had to take the baby out of her carseat, take all shoes and belts off, I had to hold Ian and Miranda and Sara had to juggle the two carseats and all the bags and get them through security! When we finally made it to our terminal (which took quite a long time, Ian doesn't walk very fast) they changed our terminal so we had to haul it all back to the other terminal! A couple of times both in Salt Lake and in the Arizona airport Ian tripped and fell, but instead of getting back up he would just lay there... he would just lay his head on his hands and just lay there for like 2 or 3 minutes! It was so funny, he was so tired of walking that he just couldn't get back up. And Sara and I have our hands so full we can't pick him up. So it took us a while to get anywhere in the airports!Well we finally got on the plane and both babies did really good!
Ok funny story... (again, not really funny) On Nik's way to Arizona the AC went out in our car. So he picked us up from the airport and we drove straight to the dealership by our house. Getting there was the hard part though, we had to drive on the freeway with our windows down, and that didn't really help...it was like a very high powered blow dryer blowing its hottest air, but we had to have them down or we would have DIED!!!! So Ian was screaming in the back, Miranda did pretty good, and I was pouring water on both of them periodically to try and keep them a little bit cool. As you can see in the picture Ian's face is very red...we were all soooo HOT! He eventually fell asleep and stayed asleep once we got to the dealership! So they took a nap on the floor while we got our car fixed! Luckily we bought the extended warranty on our car when we bought it so all we had to pay was $100!
Thank you Grandma Spendlove for the stickers....they were perfect on the plane! On take-off I had Ian and Sara had Miranda and a bottle. I wanted them both chewing or swallowing when we took off so their ears didn't hurt. Luckily my sister had taught Ian how to chew gum in the weeks leading up to our move so he got gum! The only problem was that he kept swallowing it (because he didn't like the flavor) so I kept putting more in his mouth. Just in the time it took for the plane to take off and get in the air Ian swallowed six whole pieces of gum and ate a fruit snack.
Miranda slept most of the flight, and woke up to eat at the perfect time! She was very happy and didn't seem to mind the altitude changes at all! I was very happy about that!
This is Sara and Miranda before the plane took off!
This is us going through security... My arms were ready to fall off!!!!!Hopefully that all made sense even though it is not in order! It was definately an interesting experience getting us down here, but we finally made it and we love it! Our new ward is really nice, we have met some really nice people, Ian is making new friends too! It has been really hot, but I have not minded the heat at all! We have a pool so we go swimming a lot! We also just stay home and play a lot! There is a lot to do down here, lots of parks and restaurants and shopping within walking distance of us (when its not hot!) so we are in a great location!
I still don't have the internet, so I'll work on that and then I'll be able to get caught up on my posting!

Im glad everything turned out ok Im so glad you will be coming home in November I cant wait I miss you so very much!
What an ordeal....glad you made it and are getting on better....I'm glad the air conditining thing worked out too....poor little kids...I can't even imagine. I'm glad to see your blog update too....thanks again for the cute pics. Love them.
Wow. I get tired just reading your blog. I probably would have had a nervous break down. Sounds like you handled it like a champ. Maybe you can give me some pointers before we fly with Cohen. Thats funny the babies sleeping on floor waiting for your car to get fixed:) I know how tough moving can be. I am glad we were childless at the time.
Oh my gosh. You had quite the adventure. I'm glad you guys made it ok though. OH and yes, the rumor is true, we are getting married! YAY!
Geesh! Good thing you had your sister w/ you to lessen the nightmare of airports! Now's the fun part--you get to decorate your apt just how you like it!
What a crazy story. I am so glad you guys are finally down there and getting settled. Miranda is getting so big and so adorable and Jaylee and I miss Ian so much. I really miss you. Things just aren't the same without you. We will have to make sure we see each other during visits and make sure not to lose touch like last time.
