St. George Nov. 09

Forgive me for the lack of posts. I doubt anyone will even look at our blog. The holiday season has been really exhilarating and we've been extrememely busy, so now that it's out of the way I can catch up.

Before Thanksgiving break, we went to St. George just for the heck of getting away from reality. I'll admit that it was a surprise and a very last minute thing, but I'm glad we went. It was fun.

We went on a hike in Zion that took our breath away. Everyone was stocked on food and had a lot of energy. It was a two-mile round trip hike and turned out to be very inclined so you can imagine how sore our legs were.

We also went to Hungarian BBQ, which turned out to be a hit for everyone, but especially Ethan. We went back and saw our old crappy house!

We lived there when Ethan was born and going back I never realized how tiny and inconvenient it was. We were listing off neighbors houses' and laughing about stories. Good experience.

Finally done! (well, with the first part)

We have finally bought a house!
It is our favorite house yet that we've owned - beautiful and cozy. It's 7,000 square feet and has 8 bedrooms (including master), 6 bathrooms, and an enormous theatre room (that we didn't really want until we got the house).

Mom got her Viking ovens and gas stoves, and her music room. Dad got his office with a balcony, and his ranch house (with 2 upstairs bonus bedrooms), Talmage and Ethan got their football field and basement, I got the basement bedroom to myself and the dreamy theatre room, Emma got her little playhouse under the stairs, and Isabel got her nursery. So we're all happy! All we have to do is unpack Christmas! We managed to unpack almost the entire kitchen (except we don'thave a fridge...yet!) and our next mission is the beds in all the rooms.

But we are all so glad we got a house and after much searching we finally found the right one. Thanks to all who helped us and prayed for us. Everyone come by and see us! We'll tell you when we move in.

Love and thanks,
The Lamb Family

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight I'm going to see New Moon... well I guess "tomorrow" I am, since it's starting at 12 am! Don't judge me for skipping early morning school. I was invited as part of a birthday party and all day I've been sitting on the edge of my seat, hallucinating. Here's how it goes:

***************if you have not yet read the book, don't see the movie. Hurry up and read it!

I'm way excited. School today got out at 1:10, but the day felt so much longer :(

Happy birtday to Bree, who's taking me to the movie! Good friend:)

I'm going with Lauren, Bree, Kaitlyn, Shannon, Bradi, and Bree's two sisters.

We're sleeping over at Brianne's and then going to school the next day.

Let's get something straight - I am not a Twilight druggie. I overexagerated the whole "hallucination". Yes, I'm very excited to see the movie, but I am under the impression the first one will be better. Pity. Actually, no, I think the book will be better. But I didn't much like the book until the end, which is a whole lot of waiting for. There's some in between events that I also liked. I hope it's not so dramatic that it's almost cheesey.

I'll fill you in later!

Yay :)

Baptism Day/ Birthday

October 10th, 2009 was so eventful- two wonderful special things happened in one day.

First, it was Dad's birhday. Happy birthday! I won't put your age up here, even though you're really not that old! Secondly it was Ethan's baptism. He had a wonderful time and we're glad he made such a great decision!

Nice job boys!!

Happy belated birthday Lewis Ethan!

To my E-Man... its's been almost two weeks (see how behind I am?). Just want to let you know that you are the light and joy of our lives at the family comedian. Hope you had an awesome bday! PS... he is 8. It's pretty much tradition to give scriptures on the 8th birthday. Ethan has been so excited to get these - he was even more happy when they were the same color as Dad's!

Later that day, Ethan took some buddies to Jump On It. Cameron, Quinn, John, Tal, Max, Sam, and Taft. They had an awesome time and loved coming back to the house to eat lemonade ice crea pie (which was pink..not so perfect for the occasion considering it was a boy's birthday, but none of the kids cared- the cake was sooo good!)

He also got a DS- Tal's was stolen a few months ago (at least we think so) and Ethan has been on hands and knees begging for one. Right when he got it, he offered to share with Tal. What a nice brother!

Happy birthday, Lewis! You are one stud brother!
