Catch up...

Am I the only one that finds that I haven't posted for a while, and gets stressed about all the things that I have missed? Just a quick summary... Utah's Junior Miss has come and gone. We had an Awesome show (pat myself on the back), and have a fabulous girl that is going on to the national program in June. Happy that it is over, for now. Tyler's birthday was on Tuesday. I love you Ty!! I can't imagine my life without you!!

And now... we are officially living with my parents. WHY? Let's just say that my house is no longer what it used to be. I guess that is a good thing. We have been wanting to remodel for so long, and Tyler took the hammer to the wall last week- literally. He punched a big hole on the side of our fireplace, and said that now is a great time to start demolition. SO, this past Saturday, Tyler, his dad, brother, and bro-in-law DESTROYED my house. Yes. destroyed. Fireplace- gone. carpet- gone, kitchen- gone. It is a just a big empty shell, just waiting to turn into my dream home- or as close to my dream home without actually building a brand new house. We are SO EXCITED to be doing this. It is a ton of work. Poor Tyler goes home every night after work, and puts in many more long hours trying to keep things rolling.
The kids and I (and kind of Tyler) have been staying at my Mom & Dad's house, so driving back and forth has been a bit tiring already since we have school, dance, soccer, scouts, friends, etc. all in Sandy, and they live in South Jordan. Thank heavens for the new 11400 S. road. Thank heavens!!

And lastly, I am 32 weeks pregnant. Things are going well with the baby, and I am due May 20. I have been having sciatic pains- any suggestions?, and I am getting tired of being pregnant. I have had contractions every now and again, so I am the least helpful person during this remodel. I feel so ineffective.

Happy news... Tyler's parents bought into a Houseboat at LAKE POWELL!!! We are So excited, and our kids can hardly wait! Dallan and Becky do such a great job at doing things to help the family grow stronger together. What better place to bond than Lake Powell?

That is it in a nutshell. I need to post pics of the remodel. I left my camera at my house, so next time I am there, I will get it. Hopefully I won't wait so long to post something.

St. Patties Day

I just realized that I didn't take any pictures of St. Patricks day. Bummer, because we had a ball. The kids woke up to a house flipped upside down by the leprachauns. Chairs, cushions, pillows, etc. were all in obscure places. There were gold coins, and little shamrocks all over, and the pictures that the kids drew for St. Patricks day were hanging upside down on the ceiling. My kiddos were so excited to see all the crazy things that happened over night.

We had a fun party at preschool for my class as well. Hectic, but fun. I LOVE holidays, but I am always happy to put the decorations away when the day is over.
