Another Interview

Matt had another interview in Salt Lake on Thursday. He didn't get the job, but is still trying very hard to find one. We met Grandma and Papa Funk at Olive Garden for lunch. Mike and Candace came along also. Colton was in heaven, he loves his Grandma and Papa and Uncle Mike. He loved the cheese cake and of course the salad. He loves salads, it's so crazy. He even likes Blue Cheese dressing. He got his famous chicken nuggets and fries with "dip", or ranch dressing. I think I might of started a bad thing, but I love fries dipped in ranch and so does Colton. I just don't eat them the way he does and all the time. As we were getting ready to leave, Colton again informed me that he was going to ride with Grandma. I thought it was really cute, he rode with Grandma and wanted to be with her, then we went to Uncle Mike's then back to Grandma's and again, he rode with her. He was so lovey, he was in a great mood and gave everyone loves. He loves Peaches, their dog, and poor Peaches, I think was trying to hide from him. He kept asking where Peaches was. I need to get a picture of her.

What?

Yesterday we were at Grammy and Grandad's, and Colton informed me that I needed to leave and he was going to stay at Grammy's. He was going to sleep there. Silly kid!!

I Want a Picnic

The other day, Colton wanted to have a Picnic. I don't quite know where this idea came from, seeings how, we've never had one, but none the less. He had a picnic on the kitchen floor for lunch. It was very cold and rainy outside, so we couldn't do it outside. So, he had his picnic on the floor and Matt and I ate at the table. Silly kid! Yes he is still in his PJ's, but he insisted on staying in them.

Matt's Graduation Walk

Matt walked from the University of Phoenix on May 1, 2010. He will actually get his degree in September. It was fun seeing him finally accomplish this goal. Mike and Amy and the kids were able to go also, which made it even more special. Amy's parents drove her up to Salt Lake from their house, where she was staying while attending Women's Conference, to meet us all at the graduation. Colton wasn't sure what was going on, but he loved watching all those people. Matt and I headed down at 6:30am that morning, he had to be there at 9:00 am. Colton came down with Mom, Dad, Mike and the kids. We never could find Mom and Dad Funk and Michael, Matt's brother, but they were there somewhere. Afterwards, I went to find Matt, so we could take some pictures, and he had already turned in his gown. So, silly, I wasn't too happy, but what can you do. Anyways, the University had a photographer there and they took pictures, so I have a few with him in his gown. Afterwards we went to Mom and Dad Funks for a luncheon and a little celebration with his family. Thanks Mom and Dad Funk for making Matt's education possible. We love you!

Mike & Kids Visit

Don't ask my why, but Colton loves his snow boots, even when he's wearing shorts. Crazy kid. I've had to hide them, because he will pitch a fit to wear them anywhere we go, and I'm sorry, but springtime is not a time for snow boots. Amy came up for Women's Conference and didn't want to drive by herself, so Mike and the kids came too. They came and stayed with us in our new home. It was so fun, having them here. They are coming again the end of June and Colton can't wait!! He loved having "the Kids" as he calls them at his house. Loved waking up to having friends to play with.

Catch up time, Home, Paris June

We signed the papers on our house on April 6, 2010. What a long and crazy drawn out process. We were suppose to close on the 1st, but the seller's didn't get their act together, so we played the waiting game forever. Even on the 6th when we had the apt. set with the title company to close our loan, we ended up waiting in the office for about 4 hours, because the seller's still didn't have their paperwork in. Mom and I were leaving for Az after we signed the papers, so we put a little heat on them, because I was leaving the state and had to get them signed today. Our sweet little niece Paris June was born on April 3, 2010, 4 weeks early at 5 lbs 4 oz 18.5 inch long. She stayed in the NICU for a week because of lung and feeding issues. Mom, Colton and I went down to help out Helena and Chris with the boys and emotional support. Colton loves baby Paris, as he calls her. He was so cute with her. Now, he just keeps saying, "mommy, I want a sister", "where's my sister". He's really cute. I so wish that we could give him a sister, but I guess the Lord doesn't think it's time. It was so fun being there, Colton loved being with his cousins and I loved spending time with my family and of course seeing such a precious little angel. It was so nice being able to hold here, thanks Helena for sharing her with me. Colton loved being able to go outside in shorts and thought that it was great to just be able to run around outside and play on the swings. Colton and I stayed at Mike and Amy's. While we were there, Amy and I went to a high school play, "Hello Dolly", I loved it. It was so funny!! We went garage selling and I found some killer deals on shorts for Colton at 25 cents a piece, (there is no cents symbol on a keyboard, crazy) and found some christmas and birthday gifts for about $4 total. While we were in Az, Matt and Dad was moving us in our new home. What a great husband and dad. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and so blessed that Paris was able to come home and is doing well.

Our Home

We are in our new home finally, I won't say moved in, there are boxes everywhere. But, it's our home and that is nice to have. It was a mess trying to get the documents signed. Utah Housing kept saying they didn't know where the docs where and then they would say, Zion's didn't have their papers in, which they did, we called and verified it with Utah Housing's closer. Anyways, the day we finally signed we were supposed to be there at 8:00 am. Then after the signing I was suppose to leave for Arizona. Little Paris ended up coming earlier than planned. The placenta wasn't strong enough to keep her in there for another two weeks. So, they took her. Her lungs weren't developed fully, so she was in NICU for a week. She is doing well now and is home and growing. Anyways, back to the house. We closed at American Title, I called on our way in to get the final down payment amount. Well, they still didn't have the docs. They were trying to reach the lady all morning for them. We could either come in and wait or they could call us. We decided to get some breakfast and go to Walmart, I needed to get a few things for the trip. So, then we went and sat and sat and sat forever. I was on the phone with Zion's, Mike Hall, he was our lender, and he was trying to track down the lady. Matt was on the phone with Scott, from Utah Housing, trying to get info from him. Finally at 12:30 pm we got the doc's and signed them. We weren't suppose to get the keys until it was fully funded which they expected another two days, but Kim at American Secure said that this whole ordeal was ridiculous and gave us the keys. She was so good to work with as was Mike Hall. We went straight to our new home and checked the keys, they worked. Then mom and dad met us there, Mom hoped in the car with Colton and I and we gave our husbands kisses and headed for Arizona. We spent a week in Arizona, nice weather, a little sunburn and lots of fun with family. Colton loved playing with Anika and all the kids. He keeps asking for Anika and the "kids", he wants to play with them. I will post pictures when I get some more time. We are still trying to settle in.
