(Down and Dirty)

On June 4th my friend Cassi and I ran the Dirty Dash in Salt Lake City. It was a endurance obstacle race in which was all in thick, wet, mud! We climbed walls, hills, haystacks, crawled through culverts, had water blasted at us, ran through swamps and tires, all for 3.2 miles of fun!! With school and all I didn't get to train as hard as I would have liked to but placed 44th overall out of 804 contestants!! We had so much fun that we decided we will be running it next year!! :)

{Dancing Queen}

This past Saturday the 21st was Kaydree's first dance recital!!! She did such a great job and has now become our little dancer! She looked so grown up with her costume and makeup on :)




She is the 3rd one from the left (the little one :) )




She was so excited that she got flowers after wards like the big girls!!


We are so proud of Kaydree!! She can't wait until her next recital!!

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.

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.................

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!!! :)
