We finally made a decision

After several months of looking we finally made a decision and found our new home! We have been in the market looking since about January, and we have looked at so many houses. And we have decided to build our next home. We are looking forward to the change and a brand new start in our brand new home. It should be completed around Thanksgiving. In fact they dug the hole yesterday. Below is a picture of our lot, and I will post pictures of the progress. We are very excited and very scared at the same time, but we feel really good about our decision. We won't be very far from where we are now so we don't expect to lose touch with anybody!!

10 years!

On thursday July 19 Brian and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. I can't believe it has been that long. I must say looking back I am a very very lucky person. I married a great man who has taken good care of me and has given me three of the best kids in the whole world. If I had to do it all over again, I would do the exact same thing. It hasn't always been easy, but it sure has been worth it!

On thursday moring there was a ring at the door and it was a delivery. 10 DOZEN ROSES!!! One dozen for every year we have been married. They were so beautiful, what a great gift. I love you honey!!

Swim, swim, swim

The boys have been taking swimming lessons all summer. They love to swim!! I think they would stay in the pool all day if I let them. Taylor gets really upset because she wants to be in swimming lessons also, but she will have to wait until she turns three. Jackson is doing great in level one and Trevon just passed and now is in level 4b. I am really proud of how well they are doing and how much they are learning. I have a great time watching them. Here are a few pics from the other day.

Gone Fishin'

This weekend we took the kids fishing at Silver Lake up American Fork canyon. We went with out good friends the Lambs. We are very inexperienced when it comes to fishing. But lucky for us the Lambs go fishing all the time and they showed us the ropes. We had a great time and we actually caught a few fish ( well Trevon and Madison did).

Eeewwhh. Trevon wouldn't touch his catch of the day.

What a proud fisherman

I'ts been forever!!

It's been forever!!

I know it has been forever since I updated this blog. Life has been hectic and busy, but that is a good thing. Since I got my real estate license it has kept me pretty busy, a lot busier than I thought it would. But I am really enjoying it and looking forward to all the great opportunities it may present.
Here is a quick run down of everything that has kept us busy lately:
Tee Ball
Preschool and Kindergarten graduation
A new cousin
Family reunion
Jazz games
Field trips
Swimming lessons
Going to the movies
Going on Scooter rides with Dad
Sleep overs at Grandma and Grandpa's house
House hunting
Working in the yard
Every day chores
Swimming at the dump bucket pool
Running errands
Riding bikes

And many more of the typical summertime activities!!

I know I have said this before, but I am really going to try this time to write in this blog at least once a week. In the next post I am going to post a whole bunch of pictures from the last few months so you can get an idea of what we have been up to.
This week we saw Transformers which the boys loved so much they saw it again with Papa Bob. We also have swimming lesson on Tuesdays and Thursdays and then we stay after and swim. I also had a closing last week which was for the very first house that I have sold. I represented some friends of ours last month who bought a home and that was my first closing as an agent. I have two houses that are under contract and are scheduled to close on August 1. And I have one house currently for sale right now in South Jordan. We have also been making arrangements for our trips to Denver this fall. We have been checking on air fares and hotels and all that stuff that we have to plan for in order to go to the bronco games. It looks like we are going to be going twice this year with our friends the Lambs, it should be a lot of fun.
Well there it is for this week, and I will try to do better on the weekly updates.
