Carson's room.
Hayden's room.
Garage. Because we got the bonus room above the garage it added on six feet in depth, so we have plenty of room to store our junk and park our cars.
Outside of house. A couple of weeks ago I was again looking on KSL and a guy was giving away free sod, so we went and got enough to do our front yard. It still needs a lot of tender-loving care, but hopefully one day it will look nice!!
Half-bath...not very exciting, but you can get a little peak at Carson. :)

Our House is a Very, Very, Very Fine House...
We moved into our house about a month ago. So far we are loving it and couldn't ask for more (hopefully it stays that way for awhile!!) Here are some pictures I took. I couldn't get the kids rooms because they are sleeping, but I will take those pictures tomorrow along with the outside and I just remembered I didnt get the garage or half bath. I will hopefully post all those tomorrow night.
We have already met and made friends with quite a few people in our neighborhood, so far there five girls and two boys all Hayden's age!! I am so excited for Hayden and Carson to make friends and hopefully be able to grow up with these kids. I never realized how lucky I was to grow up in a neighborhood where most of us lived our whole lives and to have made life long friends!! It is such a good feeling to be settled and I really want my kids to have that sense of stability...I hope we can be here for along time!!!!
Sorry, the order of these is kind of backwards and I am way too lazy to rearrange them!So these two pictures are mine and Colin's very luxurious and spacious master bathroom! Only the best for us! :)
Our closet
Our bedroom (not decorated yet).
The laundry room. I am only slightly embarrassed by our yellow dryer. Do you notice that white thing under the washer, that is a drain and within the first 24 hours that thing saved our lives. I started a load of wash and somehow during the move something came loose so during the rinsing cycle all the water started pouring out the bottom. If it hadn't have been for that we would have had water everywhere and probably would have had to replace carpet. Yay for Salisbury Homes putting a drain in!!!
Here is the kids bathroom...cute shower curtain huh?
Pretty much the same set up as ours.
The fourth bedroom/playroom for now.
Standing at the top of the stairs looking into the kids bathroom. The door on the right is the laundry room, the last door on the left is Hayden's room, middle doorway is the playroom and first door on left is a closet.
Still standing at the top of the stairs. Door closed is Carson's room and dark abyss is mine and Colin's room.
Right when you walk upstairs this is what you see. To the left is the bonus room and that door is the same closet you saw earlier.
These two pictures are the unfinished bonus room. If it is up to Colin one day that will be a theater room.
This is the main floor. It is all open.
Looking up the stairs from the front door.
Cute little nook.
Entryway.
View from the front door.
Living room.
That area where the baby swing is is kind of strange waste of space right now. But I think in the future when we can afford more furniture, like a piano, bookshelf desk, ect... it will come in really handy.
Hayden's dining area. The door to the left of her table is a closet, the first door on the right is the half bath and other door goes into the garage. I didn't think I liked half baths, I think they always smell funny and are just kind of gross, but it has been so nice to have with potty training Hayden. By the way Hayden is officially potty trained and for the most part she just trained herself. She is amazing!!!!
The dining room... I CAN NOT wait to get a new dining room set!!! That door in the back leads out to the backyard.
Another view of dining room.
The kitchen.
More kitchen.
The island...the best purchase I have ever made!! The space where the island is was empty and I debated for weeks trying to figure out what to put there. Finally one day I was looking on KSL and came across this island that a lady was selling for $50. I immediately called Colin and had him look at it and he immediately said buy it. So I did and it is fit perfectly!! We did have to replace the counter top, but that only cost another $50. So for a hundred bucks we practically doubled our counter top space, added four drawers, a big cabinent and a bar. What a deal!!!

Mothers Day Weekend
I had a great Mothers Day this year and it wasn't just a day this year it was the whole weekend...Sunday evening we went with my parents and walked around the Provo Temple. The flowers there are so pretty!! Hayden loved running around.
.Carson enjoyed himself too.
We are happier than we look, I promise. :)
This is Hayden eating dinner....
this is Hayden eating dessert!!!
Colin and my dad whipped up some amazing steaks!!
Enjoying the sunny day!
Friday night me and my friends from high school had our annual Girls Retreat. We went out to eat at a Thai restaurant in Provo called The Thai Kitchen. The food was NOT good, so if you are in the area avoid that place.
Because of my current circumstance with Carson, we weren't able to go anywhere far away, so we just got a hotel room at the Provo Marriot. After dinner we just went back to our hotel and talked until one in the morning. One of these years we will not have small babies that need their moms and we are going to go on a "real" retreat!! Right girls??
Saturday we had a BBQ at Natauni's with husbands/boyfriends and kids. It was a lot of fun!!

Thanks Sandi!
A couple of weeks ago we my Sister-in-law ran a half marathon up at Thanksgiving Point, so we all went up to cheer her on. She did great and I actually was a little inspired to run one myself, I don;t know if it will ever happen, but at least I had/have the desire. The best thing about it was for running she got free tickets to all of the Thanksgiving Point activities. So we did the farm country, Dino museum and Tulip festival...all for free!!! It was a very fun and very tiring day!! Thanks for running Sandi, I can't wait until next year! :)Ava, Hayden and Kamille
Go Sandi Go!
Classic Carson pic.
Cros and Hayden...these two have come a long way!
