Kind of a pain in the butt..... but I am thankful for
a nice house to rent with new stuff and no fixer uppers.
And yes, that is a real sky! Isn't it beautiful!
Inside our living room, Brielle watching princess
movie of course.
I don't know how I feel about this license plate.

"Land of Enchantment" ??? what is that all about??
Start off Clovis with a bang and the MIL's came to visit
us from 10 hours away!!! that is LOVE! thank you for coming
and cheering me up our first weekend here. I know it was
such a long drive and it meant everything to us.
PUERTO RICO LIVES ON!!!
This kills me! I cried and laughed when
This kills me! I cried and laughed when
I got this in the mail. Yep folks, this is
all of Clovis/Portales white AND yellow
pages. (Aryn, have I got Star, ID beat?)
The girls discussing what they are going to do
when Grandma and Grandpa get here, pretty cute!
They were waiting about an hour in front of the winda!

Thank you MOM and DAD for taking the time to come and
see this little place. My parents did so much for us in the three
days they were here. My Dad and Adam went golfing, we went
shopping, of course to SUPER WAL-MART and they hung curtains,
pictures, organized, spray-painted bed and crib (my mom's finger is still numb),
played games, talked and laughed, and yes, cried when they left! They took Adlee
home with them for a few weeks to AZ until I come to visit this week. LOVE YOU!!
Amazing firework show on the 4th.
Clovis is the home of the Cannon Air Force Base so the
4th was a huge thing, and I think the show might be close
to being better than the STADIUM of Fire in Provo......
Waiting patiently to begin the fireworks.

Who knew we could have so much fun without
grass in our backyard too!
Noah was not allowed in the house and screamed
at me from outside.

And then, THE DAIRY FEST! oh yes, this is
a big deal! kids loved it and we loved it too. They served
FREE cheeseburgers, yogurt, milkshakes and had some
game booths going on too. We stayed as long as we could
before the thunderstorm came. The first week we were
here there was a lighting storm everynight. It was great!
Eating our food, yum yum!
Our kids could live here forever if we would
only get them one of these.
Thought this was a great phote of our new lifestyle.
Just kidding, I will not be doing any farming soon.
Girls loving the Dairy Fest at the Curry County
Fairgrounds. Please say that like a TEXAN!!
We are basically in Texas anyways. about 10 mins
I think.
This is a story that must be shared.
So we met some great friends, Chad and Diana Prior.
He is a physician that works on the Base and so we
travel into the "Communist Neighborhood" as my friend
calls it every week to play games and let the kids hang out.
Well, this particular night Adam and I were there late and his
"pass" expired at 11:00 that night. We didn't get out of there until
1:00 am because we were playing a great game of Puerto Rico.
Adam ended up getting pulled over on our way out, they said he didn't
make a complete stop, but he totally did, they were just power hungry and
bored. So they told him his "pass" was expired and asked him if he had been
drinking at the party at the base bar that evening. He had to do a silly test with
his fingers counting back and forth, which he failed because he only did it 2 times and
not three. Then he repeated f-k in the alphabet and was only suppose to go to J. He
was so nervous thinking they were going to shoot him for being on base after hours and then the
spotlight in his face while they stood there looking all MACHO! Because he did both of the tests wrong, they made him get out and WALK THE LINE!!!! I pulled over in front of him and stopped so I could follow him home and I was laughing my head off and took this picture. Adam was so ticked off at the military cops and then the cops were ticked off at me for taking this picture. Oh well! It was pretty hilarious and Adam is just now starting to laugh about it.

Brush, brush, brush you want good breath now
because you're a dentist.
I have been to the Super Wal-mart way too many times
and I'm really missing Target and Costco. But other than that
we are having fun together and our ward is awesome. Adam is
the 1st counselor in the young men's presidency and I am ..........
guess............. Primary 1st counselor! I just belong with the children and
I love it.
NOw, what do you all think of Clovis??? I only
want to hear positive feedback and encouragement. ha ha

If you have time while you are in AZ I would love to meet up with you...give me a hollar if you have a chance. Cute house and for only being in Clovis for such a short time you have got a lot done...small towns are great for little fair type activities so I think the kids will love it, and so will you! Tell Adam to sober up and get to working so you guys can make it to AZ SOON :)
Hey there guys, I love your new town and it sounds like you are having alot of fun and getting familar with your surroundings. Small towns are nice aren't they. We miss you guys here in PA. It's just not the same since all you guys left.
Oh Clovis and Star are best friends. I loved seeing all the pics of where you guys are at.
Wow, they put you to work fast. We still have holes in our primary from Seniors moving out. Maybe someday we'll get names approved and have callings filled?
Thanks for finally giving an update!
Oh my gosh girl, when you blog...you BLOG! What fun to see all your pic of Clovis, your home, the kids, the trip, everything! Wonderful thanks!
I love Clovis already! What I also love is reading all your comments on everyone’s' blogs--I've been doing major catch-up--and your comments are cracking me up!
As for encouraging words on Clovis, may I just say that growing up in a small town is the BEST thing for children. They learn to appreciate the simple things, they learn to be creative and invent their own fun, and they don't grow up to be high-maintenance. I could go on and on, but I don't need to--I'm confident that you'll soon enough realize and appreciate all the great benefits small town living has to offer.
I do hope in a town that small you can find some decent v-ball and that Adam can find someone to argue with about anti-depressants, female sports commentators, dealing with death, etc…
Miss you guys!
Looks like you guys have been busy! You don't mess around making friends and getting involved! Can't wait to see you this weekend!
See look how much fun your having in Clovis! Who know you could do so much in a small town? No really all things a side Clovis does look like a good place to live. It looks like it's already home. Thats what I love about you. No matter what you find the good in things, and keep on laughing and joking. Good luck with everything.
hey car!! What a beautiful home! I'm thrilled to know you are enjoying it there so far. You aren't that far away from home, which is awesome. Good luck girl!! love your cute family!
wow, look at you. I would live in a house for years before really making friends :) How long have you been there, and you are already out "drinking"? good for you!
so, how long are you guys there...forever? Looks pretty fun, small town. i would have a hard time with no mall, but my husband would love that!
Seriously, I am cracking up at the sobriety test.
I love your house. It looks so nice and clean.
You guys will make the most out of any situation you'll be in.
So fun hanging with you last night. Lets get together again
Clovis looks great. It looks like you have been doing a lot of fun things! I would love the Dairy Fest or whatever it's called. Free cheeseburgers and yogurt? That's awesome!
I want to see pics of the bed and crib! They needed a little TLC... Be grateful she helped, spray painting is the worst!
So where have I been? Clovis?? Is that where you guys have been planning on going? Oh well, it looks great to me. So buck up and enough COMPLAINING about the no target and Costco. That is the best part about small towns and you will soon love it. I could go on and on about much better things to do than shop. But yes, hard transition if you aren't used to it. I guess that's what I am used to. House looks great, but man it may be a bit far for visiting. Is this permanent?
It actually does not look as bad as you described it. You'll soon learn to love a small town! I promise. There are all sorts of festivities and activities that go with small town life.... and yes we actually might have had you beat in Moscow, with a smaller phone book!
Well, that's quite a hop, skip and a jump away from AZ isn't it? Looks like quite a fun adventure though. Hope you love it there. Sounds like they have fun things going on there and I think you can live just about any place there's a Wal-mart. :) Good luck!
Hey Carlee, I am sorry I missed seeing you while you were in town. I can't wait to come visit you in good ole Clovis. I definitely love the small town activities. They really are fun. Your house looks great! Can't wait to see you guys.
Clovis sounds like tons of fun! Adam and his drinking...won't he ever just quit?!! Your house looks great. We are in AZ right now and wish you were here to hang out :( . Have fun actually making some good money! I'M SO JEALOUS!
Your house is very cute! I love to see the different styles out West. It looks like you guys are staying busy in New Mexico. I love the pictures of the girls playing in the yard, not in the grass, but in the _______. I can't quite tell from the picture what it is... Best Wishes!
You live in the land of enchanment. how could hat be bad?! It looks like you guys are doing great. I'm so happy for you. miss you loads!
Ok, ok, we're all tired of looking at Clovis, too ya know! UPDATE lady!
PS: I thought I commented on here for-freaking-ever ago, but I guess I didn't...it was SO FUN to see you guys and we'd come to Clovis anytime just to hang. And also to attend Dairy Fest. That sounds like fun. Who doesn't love free cheeseburgers and milkshakes?? MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm. Mama needs some right now.
You guys look like you have adapted your new life in NM. But where are the trees and the greenery? I bet you want to come back to PA don't you. We miss you guys!!
I didn't know you guys moved to NM! What are you guys doing there???
