Family Photos

Here are our yearly family photos. Last year we went to target and had them done professionally and they turned out good but they were very very expensive. So this year we tried something different. We had a local girl who was trying to start a business take our photos at a local park. they were less expensive and she can use any of them in her portfolio. They didn't turn out as good as last year but I still like them ok. feel free to cut and paste any off the blog to keep for your self. one reason they were cheaper this year is because we didn't have the girl print them for us, she put them on a CD and we can print them ourselves at any one hour photo. There are more photos than what I have posted, I just didn't want to load them all. If you want a CD will all the photos just let me know and I can make you one and send it in the mail.

Rachel's new swing

We have a fun swing set that the previous owners left here but it is not baby friendly so today I went to walmart and got a baby swing for Rachel. I figured she would like it because she has fun on the baby swing at the park. She smiled and laughed a little but I think she had a hard time enjoying it because the sun was so bright. she just kept squinting and looking down. overall a good buy though.

a little bit of our home

Family room in the basement
Standing at front door looking down to the basement, door on right is to garage.
Basement laundry. This room is not finished, I am going to turn it into my salon.
Stairs up to bedrooms
Nice big back yard with lots of space for gardening.
More back yard
Dining room
Kitchen.
We are still slowly unpacking and setting up house so this is all I have to show you right now. We are going to repaint Rachel's room and the extra guest room upstairs so those rooms are still empty. Our upstairs living room is still full of boxes so its not picture worthy yet. I am hoping that we will be all settled in before memorial day because I want to plan a big BBQ for everyone to come over and see the house.

crazy Utah weather

This is our back yard last week. Its April and still snowing! The funny thing is that it was a nice sunny day the day after this snow. Today its in the 70's but its supposed to snow again later in the week. I just wish it was consistently warm already.
