Misc. Pictures


I have been going crazy lately with crafts. I have made them all from scratch. As I have mentioned before we are remodeling the basement, and you will be happy to know that it is coming along slow, but we are making more and more progress every week and we now have walls separating the bedrooms YAHOOO!!! Anyway with the left over scrap's of wood I have been making all sorts of blocks with vinyl on them. I am pretty proud of myself because I actually cut the wood with a chop saw, sand it, paint it and vinyl it all without the help of my husband!! I just finished decorating for Easter and now my mom, sister, and friends want me to make these for them. I think they turned out pretty cute, and they were way easy and fun to make. I took these pictures of Jaxon this morning. I was doing my hair and getting ready for the day and he wanted me to do his hair also. His new hair style is a "Fo-Hawk", and he is so proud of it. He says he is "Sexy", I would have to say he is just a little stinker, but a VERY cute stinker.. As most of you know we have two dogs. One is an outside dog and the other is Ace a house dog that our friends Nancy & Jayme gave to us. Ace is my little dog and he is the funniest little dog I have ever had. One of the things that he does is he actually smiles. Here is a couple of pictures of him normal, and then smiling. Sometimes when people come over he is so excited and smiling (showing his teeth) that people think that he is going to bite them, but he is just in fact smiling. It cracks me up every time he does it. Last night during dinner Raylie was so tired, but she didn't really want to give up, she wanted to still eat. She finally got so tired she just layed her head against the edge and went to sleep. I even got her out of the seat and she just looked up at me smiled and then went right back to sleep. It was so cute. I think it is so funny when they are that little and can fall asleep anywere. Raylie is almost 8 months old now and she is so much fun. She is the happiest baby I know. She is always laughing, smiling and running around in her little walker following Jaxon. I love this age.

Remodeling Fun


We were lucky enough to have Lisa, Carson, Parker and Bridger come to Logan and visit for a few days. We had them over for Hot Dogs and Fries one night. This is a picture of all of them toasting at the dinner table. It was so much fun to have them come. Jaxon and the boys ran all over the house playing and laughing. I wish they lived closer so they could play all the time.



Remodeling

Sam and I, (mostly Sam) have been working on two remodeling projects. The first one was on the kitchen that we had just recently painted I may add. We were lucky enough to receive a free fridge that was a lot newer and nicer then the one that we had previously had. However it did not fit into the space that that the old fridge was in so Sam had to cut a couple of cupboards and do some sanding to make it fit. It is all finished now and looks really good. Plus we love our new fridge. Thank you Grandma Anderson!!! The second project is a big one. We are finishing the basement to make a bedroom for Colby first of all, and then Jaxon as well. Sam has been working a little bit on this project for awhile now, and we have finally been working on it more and more. It is coming right along. Sam installed some new water piping and now we are framing, then next we will be doing the electrical work. I am so excited to have this done. It will give our family so much more space.
