Splish Splash!

We had a family outing to the Dino museum this weekend. It was a lot of fun, but my favorite part was when dan helped Jacob get a drink from the drinking fountain! Jacob had a fun time trying to uncover fozzils in the dirt. he wasn't so sure about the dirt though, this was only the second time I have ever let him play in sand.

Volleyball and Puppy Training!

We went to go see Rachel play volleyball today. She was playing a tournament at UVU. As a side note, UVU did not think about the fact that people with children would come to watch sports. they where the most unsafe bleachers, they are 16 feet above the court; the seats are thin and short so you feel like you stand up to quickly and loose your balance you could plummet to the volley ball court below; and they have a railing that any five year old could easily fit through. I did not feel extremely comfortable sitting in the ghetto bleachers let alone my child. ( I have new found appreciation for the people who built Open Court) Although we had to sit in possibly deadly bleachers, it was fun to watch her play, she is such a great setter!

Daniel has been training Kate to point at a pheasant wing and hold. She is actually starting to hold the point for over five seconds before trying to attack the wing. Sorry about the bad quality of pictures, I was taking them through our amazingly dirty window ( if I where outside taking pictures it would have been a distraction and Kate needed to focus on her hunting lessons) Between Jacob making faces on the inside and Kate liking the outside the window was twice as dirty! Right after this I grabbed the window cleaner and started scrubbing.

Weekend Fun!

Daniel and I threw a birthday party for my Father-in-Law. It was a ton of fun! The company was great, the food was good, and I had fun playing the game ( even though Dan won).

Because it wasn’t a kids party, I had my sister Heather come over to help with Jacob. She was great, not only did she help with Jake, but the other little toddlers that where there. After everyone left, Heather and I got in to a wrestling match. She decided to take my phone and I was determined to get it back.

The next day we had my Family over for dinner. My dad and mom made the best ribs! I have to be honest; I have never really like ribs and found them kinda pointless. But these where crazy tasty! It was fun to hang out with them, It was a great day.

Inside the house

Here are some pictures of inside the house. I did not put pictures of every room, which would be weird. One picture of a bathroom is enough; I don't think you need to see three. I love my house and am so glad it is coming together and looking like a home.

This is the front room / greeting room.

This is the family room; it is connected to the dining and kitchen. It is an open floor plan which I love.

Here is my kitchen. I love that I have counter space! The apartments we have lived in have had little counter space. I am so thankful and happy to have counter space and a big pantry!

Here is bathroom, It is sunflowery.

And this is the office/ workout room. It is where we have our computer and treadmill.

This is the play room. I love having a room where Jacob can keep all of his toys. The only problem is that it never seems to stay clean.

This is Jacob's room all decked out in a baseball theme

Here is the purple room. I have turned it into my craft room for now; when we need more room for children we will combine the office with the crafts. But for now it is my frilly girl room where crafty things are thought of and made.

Here is our bedroom. It has been the room that has been neglected as far as decorating is concerned. the walls are bare and there are still boxes.

This is one of the biggest reasons I loved the house, I have huge walk in closet. I have no idea why they have a huge window in the closet, I find that a bit odd, but look at the space and the shelving!

So that is the house! Hope you liked it.

Hello!

Sorry about the lack of updates. Daniel and I have not had the internet till today, so here is a entry with what we have been up to.

We are almost officially unpacked! The only boxes and items not in their correct places are décor and pictures. I am still not sure where I want to put things on the wall, so for now they are blank. Once I decorate the house and make it look like a home I will post pictures ( I see no reason to show you guys pics of white walls) .

I am so happy that the weather is getting better! It is warm enough where I can bundle Jacob up in a few layers of clothing and let him run around outside with the puppy. He loves the outdoors and would live outside if he could. He loves the slide and throwing balls for the puppy to retrieve.

I am so surprised on how patient our little puppy, Kate, is with Jacob. She has never nipped him, I think she knows he is a baby. Jacob has hit, pinched, sat on, pushed, poked, and even bit the dog. Thank goodness for a mellow dog!

We went on our weekly date and took Jacob with us, he would not stop making cute faces and playing with the straw, I thought it was so cute, so I couldn’t help myself and I whipped out the camera and took some pictures inside the restaurant.

Jacob is always copying what Daniel does, he wants to be just like Dad. This is him trying to put on Dan’s shoes. He is so cute! Jacob kept putting them on, trying to walk, falling, then putting them back on.

Needless to say we have been crazy busy moving, unpacking and getting to know the new addition to our family ( Kate) Thanks again for everyone who helped us move and unpack.
