Good bye house.....goodbye St George

As some of you may know Steve has taken a job up in Salt Lake. He has been there since Sept. and just comes home on the weekend. I have been left a single mom to try and sell our house so we can all be together again. Finally, yesterday we accepted an offer......it wasn't nearly as much as we hoped to get but at this point we are grateful to make it out even. We will have until the middle of January if all goes as planned. Keep your fingers crossed. I need to post a special thank you to Tyler and Wendy and especially Tyler's mom for helping Steve out and giving him a nice place to stay while we sort everything out. We are in your debt and we love you....

Merry Christmas Everyone

Amy was nice and took some snaps of us while she was here a couple weeks ago. We hope you all have a great holiday season. I know times are tough right now for lots of people but we have so much to be thankful for. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who I am still very much in love with and beautiful daughters who are healthy, happy, smart, and so so funny. We love you all.....

The girls and Santa

While I attended our neighborhood's annual ladies ugly ornament party, the girls went to a Christmas party with Grammy and Papa. They are almost too big for Santa's lap.

First Day of school

Here are the girls on the first day of school. I can't believe Laney is in Kindergarden already.

Jo and Will's rehersal dinner

We had a great dinner at the Fish Rock Grille on the Ledges golf course. The food was good and the view was awesome.

Laney's birthday

We celebrated our sweet Laney's birthday...I can't believe she is getting so old. We took some kids to Jumpin Jacks, this really cool wharehouse full of all kinds of bounce houses and slides. We stayed for three hours! Happy birthday Bug....we love you tons.

Trip to Mapleton

Last weekend we took a quick trip up to Utah County to visit with our friends the Hofheins. We had a great time visiting, letting the kids play, eating good food, and playing with the animals. Their beautiful new home is featured this week in the Utah County parade of homes. We had the pleasure of building the bed for their master bedroom. We are very proud of it and are hoping to perhaps make a few more. I added a link to my blog with info and pictures of some of the beds we have made, its called sleepybeds.blogspot.com. We also went to the Hogle Zoo for a little while too. Thanks to Tyler and Wendy for putting us up, and we are so excited for your new house!!!

Ollie

Well, this is Ollie. The latest addition to our family. He is so cute and sweet. He and Gus get along great. They wrestle all over the floor and Ollie just follows Gus around like his little shadow. I suppose Ollie is the "interim" baby, until we are chosen to be adoptive parents. Our profile with LDSfamily services has been approved and we are hoping to have our online profile published in the next week or so. I will let everyone know what the address is.......spread the word. Hope you all are doing well.

Steve and Gus

Here is Steve on his custom made stretch cruiser bike. Gus likes to go for rides.

A rare St George Snow

Here are the girls making snow men in Grammy and PaPa's front yard.

My nephews

I have the cutest nephews in the whole world!! We miss you Bubs and Spanks!!!!

Dana's 9th birthday

Dana had her birthday in Jan. She wanted a lego cake..check it out!!

Christmas Pics

Here are some Pictures from Christmas. Steve's mom brought a cool ginger bread house kit to make and the girls had a blast...thanks Joyce.

Hunting for petrified wood

Here we are on a freezing cold day over Christmas break searching for petrified wood. It was everywhere. Finding it was the easy part, then we had to haul it all up the hill to the car!!

I am out of the loop

Hey everyone, this is a little note to appoligize...my blog is on the backburner right now. We are swamped with filling out adoption paperwork. Yes, we are going to adopt....spread the word....tell all the pregnant unwed mothers you know all about us. We will have a family adoption profile page on the internet soon and I will let you all know the address. Hope everyone is well. Love you Leah
