Updates on Life...

Can it be any cuter when your youngest learns how to fold his arms...I think not!

Ben LOVES laughing at his brothers. 

Mr. Ben has become Mr. Personality. He really is such a riot. He runs around the house like he owns the place. We can just eat him up because he's adorable. 

Life throws curve balls sometimes. Sometimes they are really exciting. Well after four years we decided it was time to spread our wings and buy a home. It was a super quick process...stressful, unknown and totally exciting all wrapped into one. Here Jared is signing our life away!

I'm there joining in the fun!

Home Sweet Home...well it really wasn't ours yet, but we couldn't stand the weeds any longer. So we decided to do a little community service and help out the house. It has been on the market for over a year and it obviously needs some attention!

So we called in reinforcements, my mom, an expert gardener, the kids are expert helpers. They couldn't be more excited to pull weeds!!! Or maybe it's to use the "tiny" shovels. 

Here is a lovely before picture. I can't find my camera of the after pictures, but we since have planted flowers, wood chips, etc. It looks darling!

Sad lonely tree...before we gave it a hair cut! Stay tuned!!

It became official last Thursday! The key is ours....let the fun begin. When I say fun, I mean paint, sprinklers, yard work, trim, carpet, etc....WOW we are in over our heads. I'll keep you posted!!!

In between fixing up the house, Alayna has been practicing like crazy her ballet performance. She is darling as a little red riding hood!

Happy as can be. 

First project near completion...I really should wait for all the before pictures but I can't find that right now. It was dark brown trim...but I couldn't live with that...no way, so we taped off like crazy and we begged like crazy to get my super talented Aunt and Uncle to spray them white...oh It's beautiful!!! I can't wait to see it finished tomorrow!!! AHHH So pretty. 

And sweet Caleb. My amazing sister Krista took him home with her to stay while we get a little more organized this week. We've been totally crazy running between end of school year activities, ballet rehearsals, painting, ripping out carpet, late nights, apples and cereal for dinner, etc. He needed structure and since I couldn't provide that nor keep up with him...(I've been super sick from allergies! AHHH) So THANKFULLY she saved the WEEK and whisked him away to the fun life of Fillmore. Thank you! Well, that's all the details I can give now, I'll keep you posted later!
