It's an adventure...it's good for you!

Well I must say that things never seem to slow down around the Spooner household. And I'm not just talking about taking care of two energetic children either! Though they do take up so much energy and time, it is well worth it. Actually, I'm talking about the adventures that our family have been experiencing these last few weeks.

First off, I went last week to look for a place for us to live when we move down to Southern Utah in just a few short weeks! The strange thing is that everywhere that I was supposed to go and look never go back with me or the places were too expensive. I did get to go see one place that wasn't too terrible. But my plans didn't work out too well. However, it turned out that my inability to find a place to live was actually an answer to a prayer for someone else: my parents. The day that I got to my parent's house, my father informed me that he had been offered a job in Kwajelin (That's in the Marshal Islands) and he and my mother and two youngest siblings would be living there for two years! Talk about exciting. Living on a tropical island! And my father would be able to go home every night and have weekends off, something he hasn't had in a long long time. And my mother would have her husband home with her, something that she deserves. So it works out so well for the both of them. I've been praying that things would work out for my parents because they deserve to be happy, and I know that this is an answer to not only my prayers but my grandparents as well. We've all been praying for them. And even though it will be hard to let them go, I do know that it's going to be okay and that this will be the right thing for them. My mom and dad deserve this happiness. And because they are going to be leaving for the island, my mother and father gave us the opportunity to have a place to live in Kanab. We'll actually be living where I grew up! It's so strange, but the answer we have been seeking. We've known that we needed to move, and now we understand that there was more than one reason why and that the Lord has provided for all of us. Needless to say we are indeed very grateful.

Here's a picture of Kwajelin! Tiny little tropical island! What an adventure don't you think?

Other adventures that we've been experiencing around our home would be that Hannah is excitedly dancing ALL THE TIME. I really wish that I could catch it on tape, but it's just so hard. It's quite funny to watch her. And I love sharing these experiences with her. And then Liam rolls over and laughs and smiles at you all the time as well. He just loves to spend time with his family. It is so much fun. And here are some pictures that I didn't get to post last time.

I love this picture...I know I'm sooo vain! Haha...but I really love how this one turned out. The funny thing is, I wasn't even paying attention when it was taken!

Isn't he so handsome? I love this little guy! And this picture captures him perfectly!

Hannah is such a doll! She was so much fun to watch when we got these done. All she wanted to do was run around and dance! It was a blast to watch.

We weren't intending on having these types of pictures taken. But they turned out great! Hannah sure does love her daddy. And what a great daddy he is too.

This is one of my favorites of Liam and Jonathan. They both have that funny little look on their face. It's a classic!

Again this is a picture I didn't know was being taken, but it turned out great. I love Hannah in this one. And the reflection is so wonderful!

And here is one of our whole family. It's just a nice picture. Paul Spallino actually got us a big print of it and it will be framed on our wall very soon. We love it.

And another few adventures that are going on right now are that Jonathan's sister Jennifer is here visiting for a few weeks. It will be interesting to have her around and I hope that she has fun while she is here. The next time I post I will have to put pictures of her and my kiddos up.

ANNND!!!! I finally cut my hair! I chopped it all off! It is so short and I love it! I don't have pictures yet, but I will get some soon! I just got it cut today! Haha...

Well that's all for now. Things will hopefully go well and everyting will work out the way they are supposed to. There are still things that need to be figured out and my prayers will continue for the issues that are still going on. But I know the Lord will look out for us, if we trust him and keep him in our hearts.
