I'M BACK!

When I got on Facebook I totally stopped blogging and didn't even notice. But after blog stocking a few friends this week. I remembered how much I like to blog. So here it is....

It has been 15 months since my last post. So in that 15 months we moved from Mount Pleasant(we miss you all so much) to Spanish Fork. Where Kye went to 1st grade and is now in 2nd grade. Abby went to preschool and is starting Kindergarten. Elli is walking, talking and having a ball with life! On Kye's last day of 1st grade he asked "mom where are we moving to now?" (we have moved every summer since he can remember) I laughed and promised him we wouldn't move this summer. Witch brings us to...THE NEW HOUSE! :)

In May we found out Lynsie, Alan and were leaving us (we shared a duplex with Sam's sister). It was sad news but we knew they were off to bigger and better things! Anyway before Lynsie left she put in a good word for us with a family in the ward she knew was looking for renters. They gave us a call and as fate had it we ALL fell in love with the house as soon as we saw it! The kids called it "The Terabithia House" because of the wild tree house in a huge yard with an orchard. We started to plan our move just to find out it wasn't going to happen. Sad but content with our house we decided to move on. Until one morning I got a phone call from Alisha("Terabithia" home owner) she said "We have prayed about it and woke up feeling like you should have the house" (ok there is more to the story than that but this is the short version) I cried and ran out the door to tell Sam! So for the 15th time in the last 10 years I packed up everything we own, and with 13 boxes a small truck and trailer, Lori and I moved most of the house(Lori came to the rescue she and the boys spent a week with us). While Sam survived finals week (oh yeah he is back in school but that will be another post). As soon as Sam finished his finals he jumped in and moved all the hard stuff!

So now we are moved in YAY! 3 bed rooms, an office in the loft, a storage space bigger than our storage unit, a beautiful kitchen 3 times the size of our old one, and a yard...Oh the yard!!! The yard is a post of it's own!!!! We are blissfully enjoying all of our space and for now cleaning is one of my favorite things to do.

The next 3 posts are photos of our home it is the quirkiest lil house but we love it!

HOME SWEET HOME :)

Kye and Brady best buds!

We woke up and couldn't find Brady.

He fell asleep with Lori on the air mattress but woke

up in Kye's bed :)

Ellie loves to sit in the window!

There are no hallways in this house.

All the rooms just run into each other.

This is the row of bedrooms

OUR ROOM!

Look no crib!!!!

THE LOFT!

Gotta love those stairs

A man cave in the making. It's much bigger than

this but I could only fit this much in the shot.

Behind that door is the attic storage space that

saved us a storage unit pament each month!!!

Abby's song!

Abby was singing to Ellie to make her stop crying(she loves to make up songs), so you can hear Ellie in the background. You can also hear my phone ring in the background before she comments about it.



Words to the song.

Ellie and Abby were Sisters.
like 2 fish in the sea.
like 2 more snowmans.
and they were like their shelf(self).
but now they are 2 sisters
like 2 stars in a belf. (rimes with shelf)
and the stars looked like it was a soup.
Like an Eyebrow could be too.
they could be dipped in the soup.
But not to day and not even any day
cuz that would be yucky
and Ellie and Abby are 2 sisters
just like one in a tree 2 big sisters...Mom you have a phone call

Easter is here!

We are starting early on the celebrating cuz poor little Abby has to get her tonsils out yuck!



Ellie wearing her spring flower:)

HOW TO MAKE A BUNNY HOUSE!

Step 1 mix the frosting(it works better if you use your elbows)
Step 2 decorate the house (the candy is mostly for eating though) Step 3 show off your hard work. Step 4 crash from the sugar rush!

Abby took the pillows off my bed to make hers more comfortable notice she even took my throw pillow from the couch for a "blanket"

Ellie's first photo shoot.

Sam's brother Parker just started a photo company http://pagrimes.com/ He is GOOD at what he dose. He is the most patient guy it took some time but the shots are so worth it...thanks Uncle Parker you rock! You all should check out some of his Dance pictures(Jennie's ballet) and especially his Landscape photos WOW!!
