We are Homeowners!

For the last 4 months we have been working on getting into our first home. We finally closed today! My wonderful uncle Michael and aunt Kate gave us an amazing opportunity to be able to get into our first home. When we first looked at the house we werent sure we could handle all of the work, but after lots of fasting and prayer we decided this opportunity was too amazing to pass up. The house was a foreclosure and the previous owner was a self proclaimed "handyman". The whole house was one big unfinished project. After lots of painting, drywalling, new carpet, new cabinets, new siding, new windows, all new appliances, and a lot more we are finally able to call it ours. Here are some before and after pictures.

The front of our house. We got new siding, new windows, a new door, and new drip edge. We will still be taking out that rosebush and probably the other two bushes and will be putting on shutters.
Here is the back of the house. Again we did new siding, new windows, and a new balcony off Logan's room. Plus a lot of weeding was done.



The backyard was ridiculous! The grass was probably 3 feet high and the weeds were crazy. It is finally looking like a yard now, but we have so much more to do.

My mom heard about a contest on Good Things Utah where you send a picture of your old shed and you could possible win a new one. Well we won! How could we not with that shed!


The kitchen had ok cabinets but they werent done. We got all new cabinets, a new window, and all new appliances. We also painted pretty much every room in the entire house.

This is Logan's room. It had pink walls and pink carpet. We painted the walls and got new carpet. We also put in new curtains and will be making the closet a lot better too.


In our room we just painted and got new blinds.

In the family room we painted and got new carpet. We will finish the fireplace and put in crown molding eventually. For now this is Logan's toy room.



This room was so creepy. The wood panelling had to go. We ripped it off and drywalled that entire room and put in new carpet. It turned out great!

We still have a lot to do on the house, but we are so happy to finally be moved in and homeowners. We are so grateful to all of our family who helped so much! And so grateful to Mike and Kate who are so generous. Thank you so much!

Big Boy?

Logan decided he is big enough to put his own swimsuit top, shorts, and diaper on. This is the result.



Thanks for taking the pictures mom!

New Favorite Way to Watch T.V.

Logan spent A LOT of nights with Grandma and Grandpa J. this summer for reasons I will expand on next week. Luckily Grandpa loves to watch movies with Logan and many nights David and I would pick Logan up and this is the picture we saw. He climbs up himself and sits there while they watch movies. Favorite movies of the summer were, Fox and the Hound (Grandpa was so great and watched this movie over and over even though he doesn't like it), 101 Dalmations, Toy Story, and Aladdin. Thank you so much mom and dad for letting Logan spend so many nights with you. It was such a huge help!

Days 5-9 of CALIFORNIA!!

Highlights of the second half of our trip:

-Watching Logan and Lincoln at the Pirate Adventure dinner.
-Getting a killer deal on our Park Hopper tickets because of our give a day get a day tickets and because we earned Disney rewards with our debit card. We saved $210.00 on two, two day park hoppers.
-Day two of Disneyland. It was so great watching Logan on all the Fantasy Land rides.
-Watching Logan with all the characters. He loved them. Unfortunately we didn't see many and I don't have pictures of all of them with my camera.
-Day three of Disneyland. I got sick on day two so I couldn't go for all of day three, but I did make it for one of my favorite things at Disneyland. FANTASMIC!
-Logan being a champ on the ride home.
-Interesting times with the extended family at Sam's town in Las Vegas.

We got to go on this amazing trip because my wonderful grandparents got a beach house for a week for us for our Christmas present last year. They are so generous and we couldn't have asked for a better vacation with the whole extended family. Thank you so much grandma and grandpa for all you do for us! Also, thank you so much Mike and Kate for being so generous and buying World of color dinners for everyone. I seriously have the best family!

Family picture by the pirate at the Pirate Adventure dinner. It is supposed to be like Midieval Times, but was a lot more cheesy and the food was very mediocre. But Logan loved it.

Logan playing with his pirate sword.

The boys(minus my dad) with our lame-o pirate. Each group got assigned a color and pirate. Ours was so lame!

Waiting in line for Peter Pan. We hit it up early so we didn't have to wait in line for an hour.

On Dumbo. Logan loved this ride.

Mandatory picture on one of the CALIFORNIA letters.

Our family with Mickey. Yes I know I am only 13 weeks pregnant here and look bigger. Its because I am measuring 4 weeks bigger.

Logan was absolutely in awe of all the characters.


The boys with Sulley. He was the only character Logan was scared of.
Daddy, Logan, and Woody.
Daddy, Logan and Woody again.

Logan ready to go on Toy Story Mania. What a fun ride!

And of course the mandatory family picture at the entrance to Disneyland. I was still not feeling great here, but had to get to Disneyland one more time to see FANTASMIC!

CALIFORNIA!!! Days 1-4

We had such a wonderful time in California! I have way too many pictures to pick just a few so this will be a few posts. Highlights from days 1-4

-Swimming and relaxing in St. George.-Logan being a rockstar traveler pretty much the whole trip!
-The BEACH!

-World of Color.

Logan and David on Newport Beach.


Logan loved the sand, hated the water!


Waiting for Pirates of the Carribean. Logan had been looking forward to this ride for months!


Club 33 sign. So fun to go here.



Our fancy table.


My food. Chicken with truffled macaroni and cheese. I was not a fan. Too bad too since its a 5 star restaurant.
David got the salmon and really liked it, but wished he had gotten the filet minon.
The desserts looked absolutely wonderful, unfortunately they looked better than they tasted.
This is the toilet. So odd!


A view from the balcony of club 33.
David and Logan watching World of Color. Logan loved it and everytime he sees fountains now screams, "Mommy its World of Color!"

Independence Day

I know I am way late on this, but I really just don't have time to blog lately. Like everyone else our Independence day weekend started on Saturday. We had a lot of fun going to the Sandy Fair. Logan loved the rides and petting the snake. Later that night we went to a bbq and swimming and had so much fun watching family jump over and slide over fireworks in the water. On Sunday we had the annual sleepover/bbq at my grandparents house. I only took picutures of the fair, but the rest of our weekend was just as fun.

Logan petting the snake at the Aquarium booth.


He loved this slide. He went up and down over and over at least 15 times.

Sliding down the slide.
In a sports bounce house. He was a little nervous at first, but warmed up quickly.
