Pictures of the HOUSE being built!

So fun and exciting!  When they were digging and doing the foundation they boys would ask me to drive over there every day.  We would park for at least a half hour and roll down the windows the boys loved to watch all the bit tractors and dump trucks.  They would lean out the window and yell at the workers things like "That was AWESOME!" Or "You are doing Great!" And stick there little thumbs up out the window toward them. :). 





Christian the gentlemen

Christian has made friends with the girl across the street.  He asked me one day if he could go ask her to play and I said yes.  He went upstairs and I thought he was changing into his batman costume instead he came downstairs wearing this.  As he put on his yellow jacket he said, "Mom, pretend this is  a Sunday coat okay?"  Then I asked him why he was dressed nicely and said " Iwant her mom to know I am nice and when she see's how nicely dressed I am she will know I am good friend and let her play with me".   :).  :).   :). 

Red Rock Relay Moab

Dan has been training to run the Ragnar again with his work which was pretty lucky when a friend of his called the night before asking Dan if he could run Res Rock because one of their team members had to drop out.  We decided he would do it and he headed to Moab the next day.  This was a fun adventure and also fun coincidence because Dan ran on the same as my Uncle Dale.  Love my guy, isn't he sooooo cute, I think so. :)




Parent Appreciation Day

Christian's class did a parent appreciation day party where they sang us a hawaiian song and then we had ice cream sundays.  Christian was so cute, through out the song they would say " I love you" and he would look right at us every time.  It made me smile and get a little teary eyed all at the same time, man I love my family!



Christian turns 6!

Well there is no stopping it this kid keeps getting older!  Christian had his birthday Right after we moved to my parents and I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to throw a birthday party or not.  But Dan rallied my birthday party spirit and I threw it together for my little guy.  Christian has been pretty steadfast on what he wanted for his birthday and that was a Batman costume.  Doesn't he look so cool. :). You can tell he feels cool!  We played some fun games like Don't Eat Superman, Super Hero Says, Bomb Toss, and Blogg Tag.  We followed our games with super power pizza and and avengers cake.  What a fun day, Happy Birthday Bud we love you!





Dan's work trips.

Dan is becoming quite the traveler with his new position at work.  He works hard while he is there but he does find a few minutes here and there to see some of the sights. :)






4-wheelin'

We are loving have 4 -wheelers, but we are so busy having fun we forget to take pictures.  We went to 5 mile pass with the Bott family and Greg and Erika and their girls.  We had a great time as you can see from the last picture on this post. :)



Easter










Evan's 4th Birthday

This little guy turned 4 and I am still in disbelief.  For Evan's birthday Dan was out of town (another post) and so I failed at taking pictures on his actual birthday. :(  But we did have a birthday full of his favorite foods, chicken pot pie being the star of dinner- Evan loooooooves chicken pot pie. Here are a few fun things about Evan at age 4.  He is so fun to have around we love him so much.  This kid has the mother of all imaginations he is ALWAYS pretending something, ALWAYS!  He is a sweetie to and loves to snuggle and give hugs and kisses.  He loves animals and can't wait for us to get a dog.  Evan loves to be with the family and when we go any where he will ask "are we going to stay there as a whole family?". Some of my favorite things he says is "sgoghetti" and "buggle gum". Love you Ev Boy!

Holy Cow We Sold Our House!!! And a trip to Tepanyaki

Well back in December we got to talking about interest rates which got us talking to my friend and our realtor Amilynn, and after looking at several houses we realized if we wanted to find our "forever" house we would have to build.  So after a crazy experience selling of showing our house about 30 times, 7 offers and 3 contracts later we finally sold our house.  My parents are awesome and let us move in with them while our house is being built.  It is all very fun and overwhelming, with a new house you can have it your way but there is still plenty of work involved, we are not having the builder finish the basement but hopefully in a few years we will be able to do that.  And we will also have to put in a yard...again.  But it's all good and we are excited for this new adventure.  After we moved out we went to Tepanyaki to celebrate with some of the friends that helped us move out.  Christian thought this was the coolest place ever and told us he wanted to have his birthday there and we had to tell him in a very nice way to keep dreaming!  ;).  Evan was freezing through the whole thing even with all the fire so I wrapped him in my jacket.  And why yes is that turkey and crackers you see on his plate.  We are adapting, there was nothing Ev could eat there but that does mean he cant't enjoy the show, food allergies can't keep us down.
