Moving Day

Our house just 2 weeks ago... can't believe we are really moving!

We are very excited, totally overwhelmed, but extremely Thankful to all of our friends and family that have done so much to help us and offered there love, support and time with our new home! And sorry to all of those I have not called back, emailed or in other ways stayed in touch! Brynlyn and I practically live in the car traveling back and forth from house to house to get everything done.

I have very mixed emotions and I'm so excited to move to our new home, but I am also pretty sad of all the things I am leaving behind. I am going to miss my home from the first 4 years of my marriage, my brother in-law Rich, Brett, all the guys and the great neighbors and everything that came along with being close to family!
I hope to update the blog after moving this weekend and have internet again!

New Carpet!

I love the smell of a newly carpeted home! Brynlyn in the closet w/new carpet.

What a long day... Brynlyn and I started out this morning about 7:30am driving to the new house to meet the carpet installers! And drove home about 8:30pm with Brynlyn sleeping sound in the backseat. She refused to take a nap, with all the work being done at the new house... she wanted to watch the carpet guy's.

They showed up when they said they would, they were very fast, nice, clean and just really cool people. They removed the old carpet, scraped out the glue and vaccumed up the mess. Next they brought in all the new stuff and made sure it was the right color and got to work! Then they swept and vaccumed the entire house again. I was very impressed - it took 3 guys less than a day to install about 1,500 sq ft of carpet. RC Willey did a great job. And I love the dark flecked color, it is Chocolate brown with tan flecks.

Wyndee's Birthday

Started our morning out with a yummy breakfast.

Brylnyn and I drove to the new house to pick up my parents that had just arrived from Utah to help work on the house for the weekend.

Then we all met Grammy at IHOP for my favorite meal.

Grammy was behind the camera!
After breakfast we headed to our new house to get some work done, and Grandma had a cute poster, balloons and gifts for me to open.
After working most of the day on the house... Chad came from work. He surprised me with a new Sink for our Kitchen, an ipod Nano and very gorgeous flowers.

What a great birthday, I got to hang out with my parents the entire day, which hasn't happened in at least six years! We accomplished tons at the new house. And on top of that everyone spoiled me. I also got so many text messages and birthday phone calls, I feel very loved and blessed! Thank you everyone.

Brynlyn 2nd Haircut & St. Patrick's Day

This is Brynlyn's hair before we had it cut!

And below... after Kelsey cut 3 inches off. It is very cute, all one length!
We had fun taking pictures, and this is Brynlyn's view of Preggo mommy!

Another busy week has flown by...

My mom, Brynlyn and I were able to visit Jill and her new baby Maddox!
Brynlyn assisted Cooper with funny words while he and Dad took out the old dishwasher.

We were able to attend Daxton's Kung Fu 2nd Birthday Party,

Pick out carpet for our new house!

And even weed our front yard while everyone else painted away inside!

We are having so much fun getting our new house ready, but we are very tired...

especially Chad who we rarely see! He goes to the new house right after work and does not come home until we are all in bed.

And even though the pictures don't really show it, I am totally 6 months preggo and awkward as can be already! We are trying to enjoy every moment of our new challenges!

Hard Work

Brynlyn has been such a good kid, we are always driving somewhere these days. She usually falls asleep in the car after working at the new house.

This time she was to tired, she fell asleep waiting at the bottom of the stairs for someone to stop painting and take her home. So I put her in the one chair we have at the house and she slept for almost 3 hours curled in a little ball. What a sweetheart!

Brynlyn after her nap, she woke up happy and rested!

March Family Birthday Party

Brynlyn was very excited to give Grandma Great the card we made for her 80th Birthday! She is such an amazing woman, can't believe she is 80.

There were a bunch of birthdays to celebrate, and as always... hard to get a picture of everyone smiling or even looking in the right direction!

The family party was fun, we ate a big dinner, had a FHE lesson on St. Patricks Day and opened presents.

Quick Trip

A quick trip to Utah for Torsten's blessing!Kurt, Torsten & Farah

A very cute family!

A huge turnout of family and friends! After pictures... Brynlyn was happy to run free on the church lawn.

Then we went to my parents and loaded up the truck for the drive back home!
