No Ma

Eli is totally communicating with us lately, and in a way we can kind of understand now. It never gets old to hear your child begin to talk and all the new words they pick up on. Eli is not just saying "NO", but "NO MA", which is so freakin' cute to hear and he says yes by just nodding his head up and down. We even have the kid saying "Tank Ooooo" (thank you), which he will willingly say when you give him a bottle. He is still our little pistol, trying our patience ALL the time, but we love him and appreciate these moments of growth, which remind us that being a parent is so worth it!

 

...and one more makes 6!

 

This is "Indi", our new boxer, given to use by my VERY generous sister-in-law Renee. He is 3 months old and pretty darn cute! We (meaning "ME") are trying to potty train him, which is no fun, but he loves playing with the kids and going for walks. We are excited for him to be with us and hope we can get our backyard functional enough for him in the near future. Thanks Rymer family for giving him to us!

LCCC

Mom, David, me and the kids headed up to Salt Lake Comm. College to watch Cameron play soccer. The score ended up 1-1 and since it was not a conference game, they did not play in over time.

 

Future soccer player?

 

Cameron is #15...in the middle.

 

Chandler misses his Uncle Cameron! What a couple of handsome boys! We miss you Cameron :)

3rd times a charm.....or is it?

Congrats to Brandon and Ashley! They welcomed their 3rd boy to their family last week, and although he was 5 weeks early, he is doing very well and looks fabulous. I wish you the best and hope your transition from 2 to 3 goes smoothly :)

5 inches lighter.....Ahhhhhhhh!

My sister's are probably freakin' out, because they think I look better with long hair. Something about making my face look thinner, which I totally agree with, however I end up putting it in a pony tail or bun and looking way haggard by the end of the day. So with that being said, I decided to go darker and shorter and boy do I feel rejuvinated....and to be quite honest, a tad sexier! I plan on going even darker and shorter eventually, but thought I should gradually work into it. It's nice to be able to retire the hair bands for a time :)

 

Lovin' Her Voice

I'm sure most of you have heard this new song from Leona Lewis on the radio, but I can't seem to get enough of it...... enjoy!!

Kindergarten FINALLY!

Here is Sierra in all of her 1st day of school getup, looking pretty darn cute if you ask me. She was nothing but excited for school to start and she is anxious to get to know her teacher Mrs. Price! I wish you nothing but great success this year sis!

And you can't forget the little brother wanting in on the action! I think he would make a totally cute girl, heehee!

90% Unpacked

Here is a view looking in from the front door. To the left is the living room. You can see a stair case on the right and the family room straight ahead.

Here is the family room, which I might add fits ALL of our furniture-as dreadful as they look! We are having our blinds installed today, so in the mean time we have been lining the windows with empty boxes for privacy. Don't want to live in a fish bowl :)

I love my new kitchen, which is just off the family room. It's one big great room!

As you come up the stairs on the right of this photo you come to a HUGE loft, which we plan to turn into a entertainment area for the kids!

Thanks to David being around alot and kids being in school, we have been able to get alot done and hope to one day fill this house with furniture, cause it looks pretty barren right now.
