A little Catch Up!

 We took our annual trip down to Gardner Village with my family. Harley wanted her picture taken next to all the witches. We had a great time.
It seriously took us ten minutes to get my mom in the right spot for this 3-D sidewalk art



 Harley started preschool! She's getting so big. She loves it. We went on her first field trip a few weeks ago to the Trout Farm. They had a fun little corn maze and the kids got to feed the trout.
 This is the little pumpkin she got to bring home.
We love preschool, but Shane and I are wondering if it's worth Harley being sick so often now. We'll see how the rest of flu season goes.
 We went to the Hogle Zoo for Rylee's birthday in September. Here are the kids with dad in the fire truck that was parked just outside the zoo entrance.

The whole fam!
 Noah turned 1 in June, we had a little party for him at home
 If you can't tell what he's waiving around there, it's money. I couldn't believe how excited he was about it!
 I made him some mini cupcakes. He practically ate it in one bite and was looking around for more.
Morgan got him a fun little interactive soccer ball...
 Nana and Papa Joe got the kids a wagon to share for their birthdays. They love going for walks.
 We took the kids swimming for Harley's birthday. Here's Grandma Lori with Harley and Rylee
 What a stud!
 I couldn't have snapped this picture at a better time, I caught Harley red handed with her hand in Rylee's bag of goldfish! Notice she still has some in her own bag, I guess Rylee's taste better though

After the swim party we opened presents at home. There was definately a "Princess" theme to it all. Harley loves princesses...
 We got her a princess bike, and Grandparents gave her a matching helmet...
 Grandma Lori made some darling dress up clothes
 I slaved over this professional looking Princess cake;)
Needless to say she was spoiled; we had a lot of fun.
 We got to go through the Bountiful temple with Tyson before he left on his mission to Spain. It was a great experience. He is going to be an awesome missionary!
Lori took a little family photo for us to put on the wall in our new house. We have since had another family picture, we'll see if it takes me another six months to post it...

House Update, Months 11 - 13

Shane is amazing...Watch how far we've come...

Shane's first tile project, the half bath


The wood floor was a lot of work, but it turned out beautifully!

Cabinets! Yeah!

The sink is huge, I love it!
The master bath vanity...
The fireplace turned out great! Shane does such a good job. Kevin did an awesome job on the mantle and the drawer too. We're still waiting for the drawer front, everyone wonders why we put a cubby in the bottom of the fireplace.
Harley's bathroom, the tile on the showers took forever...

Shane took extreme precautions on the waterproofing on our shower, we've heard a lot of horror stories. Hopefully we don't have any problems, he did a lot of work on it.
Stucco around the garage door frame...still need to stain the front door too.
Carpet!!! Notice the light fixtures too, thanks dad!
Here's Jeff putting up the railing in the garage, that's a pencil in his mouth if you were wondering.

The tile seemed never-ending, but it turned out so beautiful!



This is random, but Noah got his first teeth, and it wasn't the bottom front ones! We call him fang sometimes.

Finally, some decorations! I've been waiting for this for a year!
Noah started crawling, TODAY! Yeah!

The covered deck is awesome!
All that's left in the front is the steps! (And a yard...someday)
It's starting to feel like home, we love it!

Everyone needs a mother-in-law to come over and decorate! Lori is amazing!


This room is for the piano, some day.

Thank you thank you everyone who has helped make this project a reality! We LOVE it!
