Home Sweet Home

Many of you wanted to see some pics of our new home. Here are a few that Mike took to show his family back East. We finally have all the carpet installed on the main level which has been really nice. It was done just in time for my sister's baby shower.


The Front
The Back.. and the view of the Wasatch

The Playroom

Mike's project... undoing the basement layer by layer.
The living room and Dining room were all one room. Mike took down a wall and then put up one. So that we have a place to sit and eat without feeling that we are on display from the entryway. Mike has been very handy and amazes me at all the things he has been doing to our home in such a short time. I just cannot keep up.

Summer Updates

Wow! I cannot believe how fast this summer has flown by. We have been so busy trying to get the new house ready so that we can move our family in. Finally, we have moved in, it took about 2 mos. of work. We are so blessed and so happy. We have truly enjoyed our new home.

The children outside on our front porch getting ready to go to our new ward!




Gargling the pool water in our new backyard. I love having a backyard!!

Ari finding out what it means to be the youngest child. After moving into the new home Ari has decided that she needs to be mobile and started crawling. But that is not all she enjoys climbing and getting up on things. I wonder how long it will take for her to learn how to walk. ????


And ofcourse summer is not complete without the birthday celebrations.
We celebrated Lillie's 2nd and Isaac's 4th together again. Isaac enjoyed his Jet cake made out of
a Hershey's chocolate bar engineered by Dad!


Lillie enjoyed her Kitty cake! Pink of course. Lillie is very fond of cats and sometimes pretends she is one.
Opening presents with the cousins. We were so blessed to have my sister's family stay for the whole summer while her husband was getting treatment at the Hunstman Cancer insitute. Isaac has loved being with his cousins and has enjoyed learning about Star Wars, R2D2, wrestling and playing mock light saber fights.
