My parents and sister are officially moving to Nauvoo. My dad got offered the position of recorder at the Nauvoo temple and they will be moving after Abbey's wedding. I have mixed feelings about it though, so bare with me while I vent.
I will be so sad just because they are only four hours away and my mom and sister come down to Utah quite often so I get to see them a lot, not to mention I make many trips down there as well. It will be so hard to not have them so close anymore. It is like a two day drive to get to them now, and who has the time or money to do that? With Travis getting ready to go to law school, we sure don't.
I really wanted to go to Idaho for Christmas to spend it with my fam, but now we have to stay in Utah, and will probably be by ourselves for Christmas. I guess it won't be that bad, but it will be the first Christmas in four years that we haven't been with one of our families for Christmas.
It is exciting for them though because after all it is Nauvoo and there is so much history and things to see there, so we will just have to visit there in order to see everything. I went there a long time ago, but I have never seen the temple so that would be really neat.
I think it will be a good change for them, and they will be closer to my brother and his family. Even more of a reason to go and visit so we can see more than just my parents.
Well, anyway, I am glad they are the ones that have to deal with the himidity and the bugs, and not me.....not so much fun.

sooo big
McKenna is getting so big. Every week she seems so much smarter. We got her a toddler bed a little while ago and she absolutely loves it! When we set it up and put it in her room she wouldn't get off it. She was playing on it for like 3 hours straight. She sleeps in it so good, she doesn't ever get out of it, she just goes right to sleep when it's bed time. 
I took this video of her while she was in her room, I thought it was so cute and funny so I had to post it.She is so curious about everything and is always getting into stuff and asking what everything is. She loves to learn and read books and do anything outside. She doesn't like being inside all that much, who could blame her. Anyway, we lover her and just think she is the cutest thing ever. You can definately tell who is boss around the house because McKenna calls all the shots. When she doesn't want you to touch her she says "away" or "nnnnnnnnooope," as she points her finger at you. She will also look at you and say stop it, although mostly she says that to Travis and usually it is "stop it Travis". She is so polite as well, she always says excuse me when someone is in her way, although it sounds like Messme. She says please and thank you, and whenever we are about to eat something, she folds her arms and says "prayer?" Anyway, she is growing up so fast, we can't believe it, but we are enjoying every second of it.

Have you ever had someone have a vendeta against you and you have no idea why?
This could be all in my head, but you will have to let me know what you think. I swear that the new managers that took over for us in our apartment complex have it in for us for some reason.
There have been several things that have led me to this conclusion, so I will just start at the beginning. Hold on folks this is going to be a crazy story.
So when we found out the new managers were taking over for us, they had said that they sold their contract for their place starting May 1 because they wanted them to have a full month, which is cool I understand. We thought then we had until the first to be out, but I told them that we would probably be out the Wednesday before the 1st which was the 30th of April. I didnt say it was for sure (important fact for later), I just thought that is when we would have liked to be out of there.
Anyway, our new apartment is managed by the same company that owns the complex we were currently managing, and there was some stuff that needed to be done first before we could move in. They had to get new counter tops and new doors and a new fridge and stove.
Travis mainly had to do most of the work himself, but the counters were supposed to be done by someone else and the fridge and stove were ordered through the company as well. Come Saturday when we wanted to move into our new place, they didnt have the fridge in or the counter tops done so there was no running water. Naturally we couldnt move in because it wasnt done. The new managers were training that Monday with me and asked me when we thought we would be out and I said I wasnt sure but hopefully Wed but we were just waiting for them to get our apartment done.
When they had left, Travis told me that they werent going to be able to have the apartment done until Tuesday or Wednesday so I texted the new manager and told her I didnt think we would be out by Wednesday since they didnt have the apartment done.
The new managers go and call the owners and tell them that we arent going to be out by Wed and that they told the new people moving into their apartment that they could move in Wed morning...why, I dont know since they told us the contract didnt start until the 1st, and Wed was the 30th.
The owner calls Travis and was getting mad at him saying they needed to move in because they were going to be homeless since they had to be out Wed. and that Travis didnt need to have the stuff in the apartment done it was optional, therefore his fault if it wasnt done and that we could move in there. Travis tried to tell her that her brother was the one who wanted him to do the stuff and that we werent going to move into it without all that stuff being done because we would have lived somewhere else if they werent going to do it. We arent going to live in a crappy apartment, sorry.
Anyway, we had to be out Thursday (spent all night and all day packing). They showed up Thursday and we were just a couple of hours from being done and they were just coming into the house and leaving the door open so McKenna was trying to get out and I was trying to pack but had to keep running after her. I told them we would be done soon, but they just started unpakcking stuff and moving in. I was thinking cant you just wait my gosh. Anyway, long story short they were like kicking us out and moving in. The funny thing is that they told the owner they would be homeless but his parents live really close and they couldve stayed with them. I found out after though that her parents had come in the night before so I assumed that is why they wanted to move in asap so that her family could stay with them.
That is just the beginning. since then, they have been kind of rude to us for who knows why. We werent able to get all of our stuff out of the garage because they pratically kicked us out and we didn't have time to do it because of the whole mess. Anyway, we went to Hawaii the next day for a week, so as soon as we got back they were like you have to come get your stuff out today and blah blah blah. Travis had to go work all night to get all the stuff out, it was really sad.
Finally I thought I was rid of them and their rudeness, but my sister manages a complex with the same company that we did and they had a manager meeting where the new manager of thecompelex was there too. The owner's were saying that they had to have all maintenance done within 72 hours of someone submitting a request.
The new manager then has the audacity to say that Travis was really lax the last week and really didnt do anything so they were behind on maintenance because of him. Mind you, they have been the managers for a month already. Travis works his butt off and I was so shocked that she was blaming him for it. The cherry on top though is that her husband is supposed to do the maintenance and he was texting Travis all the time asking him how to do all this maintenance stuff because he did't know how to do it. That is probably why they were behind, but they just blame it on Travis, cool.
The last thing doesnt have to do with us directly but with my sister who lives in their complex. I assigned my sister a parking spot because we were the managers when she still lived there and so I wrote down her spot and everything on this excel sheet on the computer where all the names of the tenants are there who have parking spots and what number etc. I told the new manager about it in training and that she just needed to imput the new names that I wrote on a sheet to that spread sheet.
Someone had parked in my sisters spot and so she wrote them a note saying that it was her spot and that if they didn't move she would have them towed. They didnt move the next day so she called the towing company and they came. Come to find out, the new manager assigned this kid my sisters parking spot as well, so the towing company wasn't going to tow him because he went and talked to the managers and they had proof saying it was his spot or something.
My sister called the manager and told her that I assigned her that spot and that she has been parking there for a whole month. The manager said well the spread sheet that Erin did didnt transfer over, and my sister was like what does that mean, they got lost? She said yes and then said they only give spots to people in the condos not the apartments (she lives in the apt.) so sorry. The towing company tried then to go after my sister to make her pay for the tow since it wasnt her spot. The manager told the towing company that it wasnt her spot and that they could make her pay for it. It is 121 by the way.
The funny thing is that the manger called me the day after she took over and asked me where the spread sheet was cause she couldnt find it and so I told her where it was and then she said 'okay I found it, thanks," but she told my sister that it didn't transfer over which makes no sense. Also, if there are extra spots we can give them to people in the apartments, I did that the whole 2 years I was there.
I dont know about you, but any manager in a situation like that would not act like that, they would be proffesional and say it looks like there was a mix up since the sheet got lost and would have fixed the problem so no one had to pay, but was instead rude to my sister and practically blamed her for the situation.
There are other things dealing with my sister that I won't mention but I am like come on what is your deal?
K, so if I am just being paranoid, let me know, but I think they have something against us and I have no idea what we did. It makes me so frustrated! That is my sob story for the day.

strawberries and apple juice dont mix
So we were at church on Sunday and I dropped McKenna and Gwen (cousin who was in town)at nursery and then went to Sunday school which is down the hall from the nursery. I was sitting with my family in the back of the gymn. About 15 min into the lesson a guy pokes his head in the gymn and I thought he was looking at me motioning for me to come over but I wasnt sure because I didnt recognize him. Anyway, finally Travis saw that he had McKenna with him and went over there. I followed because I had the diaper bag and I figured she probably needed to be changed.
When I got there and outside, Travis had McKenna laying across his arms on her stomach, and her diaper was full and she smelled. I looked closer and realized that she had exploded and it had gone everywhere. It was running down her leg and up her back and on her dress. It was the most disgusting thing ever. I felt so bad because she was in nursery and that happened around all the kids and who knows where it got.....
We had kind of rinse her off really quick and then run her home where we threw her in the shower. She was covered head to toe in it, don't ask me how. I concluded that it was probably the strawberries and applejuice she had for breakfast. Never again! Whenever she drinks a lot of juice she has runny diapers,but I haven't experienced this for a while. I wish she was potty trained right about now.

My little fish
McKenna absolutely loves the water. We went to Scera pool in Orem which is this really fun water park that has a kids area as well as an adult area. We went on Memorial day with Brandon and Lindsay which was really fun.
We decided to get some floaties for her because she kind of likes to try and swim by herself and gets mad when I hold her, but the floaties weren't working so well. I was really mad because I thought they were supposed to work and I really wanted her to be able to float.
Anyway she still had fun but got really tired and cranky at the end. We went again yesterday with my mom and dad and Kenna's cousins Keara and Gwen, and Auntie Lindsay. This time was so much better than the other day. I got her different floaties and they actually worked. She can float and swim by herself for the most part. She is so funny, she just kicks her legs and kind of bobs around in the water. She is fearless. She will jump in the water to me from the ledge dunking her whole head in without a care. She will just start running into the water and plop right down in it or try to take off swimming without me right next to her which is actually kind of scary because she doesn't wait for me.
We took her down the big twirlie slide and she loved it! As soon as we got down it she would say "anain". When it was time to go she didnt want to leave, she wanted to stay and swim. I think she was born the wrong species because she loves the water more than the land.
I will be making plenty more trips to the water park this summer because we can't get enough of it. I won't be surprised if she develops fins in the process.

Catching up
So much has happend since my last blog so get ready for a jam packed update of what has been going on with the Harris family, and hopefully you don't get bored while reading this.
We are finally done with managing, yay! I seriously feel I have had the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. No more rude, whiny and unitelligent tenants bugging me at all hours of the day. I must say though that is was a blessing while it lasted, I mean we didn't have to pay rent and I got to work at home so i guess I can't complain too much, however, putting up with all the stuff I had to I think I have a little bit of complaining rights huh?
I really like our new apartment, although it is smaller, it is nice and Travis put a lot of hard work into it so it makes it that much better. We really love our ward here even though it is small, and McKenna seems to be adjusting well even though she misses her freinds in our old ward. We went to a play group the other day and she just had so much fun playing with all the kids. She is the only girl out of like 5 boys, but she doesn't mind one bit.
Travis is the most wonderful husband, he does so much, he is like superman. I don't know how he finds so much time to do everything he does but somehow he completes twice the amount of things in a day that an average person would. He is amazing and I feel so blessed to be married to him. I am so proud of him considering how he just graduated from BYU...yay!
He is so happy to be done with school as am I. He graduated with a bachelors degree in Chinese and a minor in business. His chinese is amazing and he definately has a talent for understanding and speaking the language. His parents came down from Oregon for the graduation, and my family came up from Idaho and other places around Utah. We were so glad they came to show their support for Travis and are grateful they were here. We all went to crackerbarrel for brunch after since the graduation was at like 8 in the morning. It was fun to be with everyone though. It was a really crazy time with graduation and moving and all, but we survived. We are so grateful to our family for helping us move, it saved us a lot of stress and time.
It was a really good graduation ceremony. Elder Nelson spoke which was nice, but Elder Uchtdorf was there and it was such a good talk, I loved it. I am always so amazed at their abilities to speak in public and reach the audience on such a personal level. Travis parents took us out to a nice dinner after his commencement ceremony which was the night before the graduation. It was a fun weekend. McKenna loved playing with all her cousins. She really needs a permanant playmate. I guess we will have to start working on that.....and no we aren't making an announcement.:)
Travis is now working for a translation company where he translates documents from chinese into English. He has been working there for a while, but he got promoted to a manager over the chinese department and so we are excited for that. He loves his job, but is thinking next year he will go to law school. We are in for the long haul.
I am so proud of him and his accomplishments and I know I am just beginning to see the great things he will go on to do.
I am loving life just spending time with my family and having the freedom to do whatever I want when I want.
Travis surprised me the week after he graduated and said we were going to Hawaii, so we just back this week and finished setting up our apartment. Hawaii will be a whole different blog so prepare yourselves for that...lol.
Anyway, I can't wait for this summer because I am ready to not be tied down with anything and enjoy the many activities we have going on. Yay for warm weather! I can't wait to hang out with all my family in July when they come down for Abbey's wedding. It will be so much fun!
Anyway, I am glad I am all caught up in what has been going on with us lately. No we didn't fall off the face of the earth as some of you might think, we have just had a lot going on.

Quick update
I have been going crazy these last couple of weeks because of all the stuff I have had to do. I am doing checkouts this week and I am so stressed out. On top of that I need to clean my house and start packing to move and do all the closing stuff for YW since I am getting released on Sunday (I hope...they have been saying they would release me for like 3 weeks now). I am trying to play with McKenna as much as possible, but with all the stuff I have to do I feel bad that I don't get to spend as much time with her as I would like. She is probably thinking "I want my mommy back." If I am on edge to anyone who talks to me, forgive me because I just have a lot going on and am really stressed out, so don't take it personal.
Besides that though, everything is good. McKenna is so stinkin cute, I can't stand it. She does the funniest things now. Whenever I change her diaper and she is stinky, she crinkles up her nose and says "dew dinty" or translation "eew, stinky." She loves singing action songs, so whenever she wants to sing them like the itsy bitsy spider, she will put her fingers together and try to do the action of the spider and she says bitsy bitty bider." I also sing her this bunny song and she always puts her hand up to her eyes on the part where it says a "little old man by the window stood." It cracks me up to watch her.
She can pretty much see anyone's picture that she knows and be able to tell you who it is. She also tries to dress herself and it is hilarious because she puts her shirt on top of her head and her pants she only gets on half way and tries to button them herself.
She loves dancing, give her some music and she will start twirling or bouncing up and down. I want to put her in dance eventually.
Pretty much everything she sees like makeup or cute clothes or hair clips she calls pretties. She says "pretty, yeah?" whenever she wants me to put something on her like lip gloss or do her hair.
She has the highest metabolism I have ever seen in a toddler (everyone who is around her a lot knows what I mean) This kid seriously goes about 3 times or more in a day.
She will never sit still and is always getting into something, but we love her to death, and she is such a joy to be around. Her smile can light up the whole room.
We are just counting down the days until we are done managing (1 more week), and are getting ready to move into our new apartment. Travis graduates this Friday, so we are looking forward to having our family here for that.
Anyways, just thought I would share those things with you.
Besides that though, everything is good. McKenna is so stinkin cute, I can't stand it. She does the funniest things now. Whenever I change her diaper and she is stinky, she crinkles up her nose and says "dew dinty" or translation "eew, stinky." She loves singing action songs, so whenever she wants to sing them like the itsy bitsy spider, she will put her fingers together and try to do the action of the spider and she says bitsy bitty bider." I also sing her this bunny song and she always puts her hand up to her eyes on the part where it says a "little old man by the window stood." It cracks me up to watch her.
She can pretty much see anyone's picture that she knows and be able to tell you who it is. She also tries to dress herself and it is hilarious because she puts her shirt on top of her head and her pants she only gets on half way and tries to button them herself.
She loves dancing, give her some music and she will start twirling or bouncing up and down. I want to put her in dance eventually.
