We have walls!

 We are so excited, we now have walls! We are starting to see the image that has been in our head for the past 9 months, yay!

This is as far back as I could get to take a direct front view of the home. The right side of our bedroom is cut off a little.

Brennon is 9!

 I can't believe our Brennon is 9 years old, it's amazing how fast time passes.  Brennon had a great birthday.  We reserved the church gym again, and the boys had a lot of fun playing games! Happy Birthday Brennon, we love you very much.

 Brennon got lots of fun present from his friends and he picked out a flying helicopter as a gift from us. 

The boys always enjoy the pizza and pop!

Keaton's Piggy Opera!

 My little Piggy!  Our favorite 1st grade teacher Mrs. Davis has a tradition of doing a piggy opera with her class.  Keaton was in the piggy chorus just like Brennon was.  He did such a great job, and makes such a cute piggy!

Keaton and Mrs. Davis.  So grateful that both my boys had this wonderful teacher!

Our Slab

The slab for our house.  They build a little different down here in Southern Utah, you just build on a slab of cement rather then digging down and having a crawlspace.  The framers come out tomorrow, we are so excited for the framing to begin!

House Progress...

          We now have plumbing!

Brennon's First Pine Wood Derby!

Brennon was so excited about being a part of the Pine Wood Derby, that he started his car a month before the derby.  He took 3rd place, and had a great time!

Our New Home!

 In about 5 months our new home will be here! We are truly grateful and so excited for our new home.

The skid steer is out and ready to start clearing off the lot.

           Digging for the footings!

Easter 2013

My boys on Easter!  Couldn't convince Brennon to wear his pink Easter tie, but aren't they all so handsome!

Devin is 33!

 My sweet husband turned 33 this year.  We went shopping for some new work pants and ate at Pizza Hut for dinner.  The last few years he has picked pizza hut for his birthday dinner, so I finally asked him why Pizza Hut and he said that's where he liked to spend his birthday when he was a kid, so cute! Devin you are such a wonderful husband and father, and I am so grateful to be a part of your life!

The boys robot!

Brennon and Keaton love to build with these mega bloks.  This is the best $20 I spent 8 years ago for Brennon's first birthday.  Over the years we have added to the collection and the boys just keep building with them.  This is a robot Devin and the boys made one Sunday evening, pretty cool!

My boys, Student of the Month!

So proud of my boys, and how hard they work in school!

 Brennon was student of the month in January.

Keaton was student of the month in February.

Christmas 2012!

We had such a nice Christmas holiday this year.  We had a unique opportunity to spend Christmas Eve eating with some of the homeless people in our area.  We have some friends who own an events center and they decided to invite the homeless shelter and a few friends to eat with them. Such an opportunity, and it truly reminds you of your many blessings.
I love the Christmas season, and the opportunity we have to celebrate the birth of our Savior!

 Christmas morning, as you can see we woke the boys up early!

 Keaton got skylander giants for the playstation from Santa, he was so excited and it kept him busy over Christmas break!

 Santa brought Brennon a very cool lego creator set!  Brennon really likes building things and this set was a lot of fun.

 Devin got this dark chocolate bar in his stocking, it was disgusting.  I was having a craving for chocolate one night and this was all I could find in the house. I took one small bite and almost threw up, I don't know how he eats that stuff, yuck!

 Razor Scooters! We finally thought it was time the boys got some of these scooters, they have been so much fun!

Thanksgiving 2012

We had a nice Thanksgiving this year! We always go to Idaho for Thanksgiving and spend it with the grandparents.  We enjoyed being with our family and we are truly grateful for the wonderful families we come from.
