Salt Lake City

Last week we spent in SLC. Monroe had meetings and the kids and I had fun on the town. We went to the Aquarium, my sisters Megan's, Ikea, Thanksgiving Point, Temple Square, and of course shopping. The kids held up really well and I think that we all had lots of fun. Two days after we got back Mason asked to go back to the hotel, so he must of had fun. I was a little nervous about going and spending the days with just me and the kids going around SLC but like I said they were so good. Anyways here are some pictures of our week.

Messy Girl

My life has all of the sudden become extremely busy. A few other moms and I have started a Preschool for our three year old children and I am helping with the weekly Music Makers Group. We also are looking for our first house to buy. What a stressful experience. It is exciting but sure takes a lot of thought. So here is a short update on the kids.

So Madelyn is starting to eat really well; however, it tend to be extremely messy. I really think that she gets a lot messier than Mason ever did. Everytime that I feed her it takes a bath to get her clean. So here are some pictures of the happy messy little girl.

Here is My hadsome boy Mason.

Our Little Cabin

So we for the past year and a half have been renting a little two bedroom cabin on a horse ranch. We had only intended on living there for a few months until we could buy a house but is has turned into almost two years. I think part of the problem is that we really love living where we do. We are out in the country which is close that dear to our hearts and the market around Grand Junction in crazy unlike most of the country. Upon moving here and trying to get a loan learned that to get a loan with out a good sized down payment for self employed people is impossible. So we will just wait until two years hit and we feel right about a house.
So anyways my mom asked me months ago to get some pictures up of our house and yard because we put in a lawn, garden, deck, fence, and are in the process of panting the outside. We have a tendency of fixing up places that we rent and then moving. Anyways we have really enjoyed it this summer and you never know we probably will be here another summer to enjoy it also. So mom here are some pictures for you and whoever else wants to enjoy them.
