This past week was a fun one! My parents, my older sister and her little boy came up from CA to visit for the weekend.

My mom and dad....cute picture even though it's blurry :(


And the newest bowler on our bowling team!! He tore it up :)



Birthday Present/Cake Time.....A NEW BIKE!!!!


It's official.......after almost a whole year we made it to four!! He talks about his birthday ALL the time!!! haha



On Monday it was his true birthday and Austin thought he needed a REAL bike so he bought him a dirtbike........he forgot to buy him the medical insurance to go with it though! :) Brayden was so excited but started shaking and told me it was because he is a little scared about riding it! I thought that was so cute.



Fourth Stop: EASTER!!!! It was a beautiful day and we had a great time at church with my family! The kids LOVED the easter egg hunt!!




And the infamous whirly go round that is rigged up in the temp house we are living in!!! We all got into the action and enjoyed ourselves.................


MAYBE a little too MUCH!!! hahahahaha (just for you mom!!)


Fifth Stop: A GIANT PRAYER FOR MAY!!!! We woke up this morning to about 3 inches of snow!!! Geesh!!! We STILL love Idaho though!!


Sixth Stop: MAY and MOVING!!!!! It couldn't come any faster for us!! I am so ready to get into our new home!! (Pics coming VERY soon!)

{Our House}

It's been long over due for some updates, but the craft projects are not quite done yet so I thought I'd update with our big project of our house!!! We have been waiting what seems like forever for the power company to come and hook up power but this Thursday they are set to come so we are hoping it will start moving along again quickly!! :)


Our poor ol' kids have no idea what is in store for them!!....maybe a little grass or a yard? :) At least for now they are quite content with DIRT!!


These are pretty bad quality pics but here is part of the formal front living room-


Here is the hall and stairway going down to the basement and to the main floor bedrooms-


This is looking from the living into the kitchen-


This is the dining room which is to the left of the last picture off of the kitchen(I'm so excited to have an actual dining room!)-


This is looking from the kitchen to the living room(the dining room off to the right)-


Off the kitchen is also the laundry room(and half bath) and stairs up to the bonus room(can't wait for this room either!)-


Here's the bonus room-


And the other half of the bonus room-


The Garage-


Hopefully I'll get my projects done this week so that I can get back on the ball with updating more often!!! :)

{BIG BIRTHDAY GIRL!!}

From LITTLE girl............


To BIG girl!!!!

Tuesday March 22nd was Kaydree's 5th birthday!!
We have been counting down since the day after her 4th birthday!!
She is quite the fashion diva these days and loves anything girlie!! My amazing and talented mom made this adorable skirt and purse for her and she is in love!! :) She had a great birthday full of parties!!



For her birthday she wanted to have her favorite food which of course is pancakes. But these pancakes are super special "purple" pancakes!! :)


After breakfast she opened up a few presents! Here is her goofy face!! :)


Her 5th birthday started off with a bang! It just so happened to be kindergarten registration day!! She was so excited and of course had to wear her new hello kitty shirt and bring her purse. She did great on her testing and is officially enrolled in kindergarten and starts in August!! She is all grown up!!


A group "attempt" picture!!


Mommy and Kaydree


That night we headed out to Blast off for her birthday with our good friends. Blast off has tons of tubes, slides, and ball pits to play in!! The kids loved it!!


Brayden and Camorah(Kaydree's friend)


Jaxton and their little boy Creeson(he's one month younger than Jaxton)


Of course the guys had to have a little fun and raced through the obstacle course....this picture will forever be a debate....Austin's in the red and Cameron in the blue. Austin says he won but I think the picture says differently :)


And of course my camera died and we had to EAT cake, so I took these with my phone :) And don't count the candles.....i'm a whole year behind!! :) haha!!



Happy Birthday to Miss Kaydree!! We are so excited for all that this year will bring!!!
