It has been a while...

Okay I am always late with that darn camera... just moments before I ran to get it.. Braden, Peyton and Isaac Rich we all in the car fighting for it! We were laughing so hard... oh the joy! The twins have been fighting back lately with there fists and throwing there bodies onto each other. I have a hard time stopping it because it is so funny!
I do have to say Go Kathleen and Carol and Courtney for doing the Woman of Steel Marathon.. you are all my heros!



So about a week ago we went down to have the Burns Family pictures taken.. i have heard they turned out darling! We can't wait to see them. Afterwards we went to the nearby park and hung out and ate lunch. Grandpa B. was helping the twins eat there teddy grams.. so darling. I am surprised that Peyton is reaching for some because he had to have his hands in his pockets for all the pictures! he was so darling.

Other then having 25 days left before we move, nothing else going on here! Actually we need your help.. here is our issue... To Penske or not to Penske... so to Penske it would cost us $1200 with gas etc. United Van lines it would cost us $4000. But the benefits go far beyond the extra money we would get to pay... United will load our crap onto the truck and unload it.. how nice would that be.. it should be Andrew's Christmas gift.

And for all those who know me.. my house is not all packed yet.. but do you think I can pack my dishes and just eat off of paper for 3 weeks? Talk to me! This past weekend we went down to SLC and enjoyed seeing family and friends. The boys love hanging out with cousins and friends.. i love having more then Walmart to shop around in.

You're so funny! And I don't believe you don't have your house all packed up yet. We're still talking about you around here. I can't believe it's $4,000 to move from ID to CO. We're paying $6,000 to move all the way from MI to OR. Talk them down! : ) Good luck with everything in your move. Can't wait to see pictures from the new place.

Go United. Eat off the paper plates.

Do the United thing. In the grand scheme of life.. you will be so glad you paid the extra and THEY did all the loading, unloading, lifting, etc. There will still be plenty of work to do.
Do you need me to send some Paper Plates!!!! Be brave!

Paper plates all the way! I too, do not believe you don't have most everything packed!!! As far as moving...try ABF...it is kinda the best of both worlds. If not then United. You will love that you don't have to pack the truck and drive it there. Have fun.. keep us posted on all of your moving adventures.

I say to go united and deal with paper plates!!! Dealing with paper products is so much better and I say do it! I'm glad that you were able to go and see family and friends and have family picutres taken. I hope you can post some soon!

My advice would be to go with Penske, I know, I know that's not what you want to hear but the money you will save will be worth it. I can't believe how fast we are going through money and I feel like we are mostly just buying the essential stuff. We just spent over $700 getting our cars registered yesterday! It is crazy how much moving and getting settled into a new place can cost, I think you will appreciate having the extra $2800 to spend later.... Just my thoughts though.

I can see exactly who's arguing which side. With 4 boys, 2 being twins you should definitely go United should do it all, that would be ideal! Otherwise let Andrew take the kids for a few days while you do the packing yourself and some nice time to yourself?

Say Hey, we don't care how you choose to do it or what you're willin' to eat off or we just want you here in CO all safe!! When do you get in? (Just in case it looks like we need to make a trip into the hills. . . )
