Our latest and greatest project....

When we bought our town house we knew we had a lot of projects ahead of us, and we still have more to come. At times it hasn't been so much fun and a lot of work, but for the most part we have really enjoyed fixing up our house just how we like it and all the hard work pays off. We were so blessed to find something affordable that we can call our own, so I can stay home and take care of our little cutie pie! I also should add that Abby and I really love and appreciate Aaron so much, he is such a hard worker and amazing provider for our family!! It has been a little over a year since we bought our first home together and we have learned a lot! Aaron is become more of a handy man, and we are learning to budget and manage our money! Anyways, to my post now (ya know how it is when you get typing you can get off the subject very easy!) For our last project we painted our back patio. Aaron chose the color, and I will admit I was a bit hesitant at first.....but it looks great!

Here are a few shots of our project:

Our little patio furniture set! (now is the best time to buy them because they are all on clearance!)

Lots of birthday fun!

I'm only a day late but this is a post wishing a very Happy Birthday to Abby, Aaron, and my wonderful mom!
Below is some pictures of the fun festivities!! (sorry Aaron, but I just had to do a slideshow!)

It was such a fun, busy day. It is hard to celebrate 3 people's birthday and not let Abby steal the spotlight! My mom was great, and while I made Abby's bunny cake she made Aaron and herself this yummy angel food ice cream cake. We all went out to Texas Roadhouse for dinner which, like always, was amazing! And don't let the pictures fool you, Abby was spoiled for her birthday but Aaron was too.......he would just love it if you ask him what he got for his birthday..........for those of you who won't ask him, well he got a gun that he has wanted forever! It is a 9mm, so watch out everyone!

Brayden and Abby

At the wedding I got some cute pictures of Abby and Brayden being kissin' cousins!! They are always loving each other, someday these photos will totally embarrass them!!


Oh Brayden buddy! That is a very open mouthed kiss!! Abby isn't quite sure how to kiss like that!

I love this one of Brayden, I'm sure he is thinking, "this kissing stuff is getting old and disgusting, besides girls have cooties!"

Of course they saved kisses for Grandma!!

Saturday get away....

This past weekend we went down to Utah for Aaron's cousin's (Lyndsey) wedding. Overall it was a fun Saturday where we got to see a lot of people in a little amount of time. First we stopped in Tremonton at the way cool Tremonton fair to see Grandma Moore who was there watching Aunt Jill do the dutch oven contest. I've never been to the Tremonton fair, but I've heard it is a kick in the pants. It made me miss the good ole' Cassia county fair, gotta love small towns!! After that we stopped in Kayseville and drove by Aaron's old house (see below) They lived there when Aaron was about 6 or so, he even showed me his girlfriend's house, Ms. Mandy Jones!! And she was a high maintenance hottie according to Aaron.....at the age of 6! Then our last stop before the wedding was at Brad and Becky's, Abby just HAD to see Bryson and Haylee, and whenever you are at Becky's she'll always have something good to eat! We came away with homemade cookies and suckers!! YUMMY! Then it was off to the wedding for Lyndsey and Levi. It was very hot, but a good time. It was fun to visit and meet some family I've never met! Although, me being the dork I am I forgot their wedding gift!! After we sweated to death we decided to venture back home, but first we had to stop at Target!! (thanks Becky for letting me know about all the great clearance stuff!!) Then we stopped in Tremonton once again to visit with Grandma and Grandpa at their house and let Abby get the wiggles out so she would sleep the rest of the way home. It was a great trip and whether you wanted a play by play you got one!! Here are a few pictures of the great fun!
The old Kayseville house.....

Abby messing up the flower decorations on the chairs!

Going over to greet the lovely bride and groom (and uncle Craig)

I totally missed Abby giving Lyndsey a hug, so this is all I got. Doesn't she look beautiful??

Playing on her chairs......her colors where green (like you can see here) and pink, very cute!

Here is Abby in an Escalade and she is thinking she is so cool riding without a carseat!! They had to shuttle us down from a church to the yard where the wedding was. We were lucky to ride in a pretty sweet vehicle! Don't worry it was a very short drive, and he was a very good driver!

This is how I roll....

In my last post I said that Abby was taking a nap so I was playing catch up in blogging....well as soon as I posted that she woke up. So now she is in bed so here I am again.......

Below are a few pictures of Abby, and how she likes to ride in style.
(just some more cute photos I found on my camera....)

Always has to have her sunglasses (my old broken ones) whether they are upside down or not, purse, and baby Claire........
The higher I tip my head up the easier it is to balance these sunglasses when they are upside down!Oh yeah! And her cell phone, all she is missing now is the car keys and the credit card!! What a girl!!!

Stickers are a great reward!!

When Abby goes poop or potty on the toilet she gets a sticker, and this is usually what she does with it:


I just thought these were cute pictures!!

(NOTE: Abby decided to stop taking naps the past 2 weeks! Yes I know, that is very frightening for a mom!! But today - on her birthday - she decided to take a nap for me. Thus the reason why I'm finding time to catch up my blog!!)

Playing with little Aaron

Here I am still trying to play catch up with blogging...... I saw these pictures on my camera and thought I better post them to my blog!
Two weeks ago my cousin Kim and her family, who lives down in Arizona, who I also haven't seen in a very long time was up in Idaho visiting family. Lucky for us they stopped in Pocatello at my Grandparents house to visit for awhile. It was fun to meet her husband Ken and their little boy Aaron for the first time! When we were driving over to see them I told Abby that she was going to meet and play with her 2nd cousin whose name is Aaron, that was a bit confusing for her and she kept saying "play with daddy" over and over. Pretty funny.
Below are a few pictures of the 2 cuties having a great time together! It was fun to visit and catch up! We can't wait to go visit them when we go down to Arizona for Thanksgiving to be with Tyler and Amy and the family!

Reading books.....

Being funny with Grandpa Great....

Enjoying some cookies together!
