Lights

Cody and I decided to take the kids downtown today. We went to dinner at the Gateway mall then rode Trax to Temple Square. Cody had never been there for Christmas so it was really cool to share it with him and the kids. I remember going to Temple Squre every year and I loved it. The kids loved all the lights and Colby loved riding on the Trax. It really got me in the Christmas spirit. I'm so excited to share the holidays with my family.

Settled for the Holidays

The New Pendant Lights(a little messy in the kitchen)

Harrison loves to go downstairs to play

We been in our house now for almost a month and we love it. The kids are so happy to have their own space again. I've unpacked every box but not much on the walls yet. We have decorated for Christmas and we are really excited to spend our first Christmas at our new house. Cody has been busy with projects since we moved in. He has hung some pendant lights above the island, installed under cabinet lighting and has plans for a lot more. It's been fun being able to do things to our own house. Colby has already made some friends and most of the kids in our neighborhood are in his preschool class. It's so nice to be settled down so the kids can make friends to grow up with.

What have we been up to?

It's been a while since the last blog but we've been really busy. The most exciting thing is we are finally in our house. We moved in last Tuesday and we couldn't be happier. I had forgotten what is was like to have my own bedroom. No more kids in the same room. WooHoo! It's been less than a week and already Cody has been doing projects and we had a little fire in the new gas stove. The builders put all of the owners manuals in the broiler tray and they caught on fire when we turned on the oven. Luckily nothing was ruined. We L-O-V-E the house and we feel so blessed.

We also had a really fun Halloween. The kids were so cute. Harrison was getting the hang of it because after a few doors he started knocking then holding his hand up for the candy. Colby had alot of fun and felt really special because not only did Cody and I take him but aunt Tammy, uncle Vince, and Jacey also went. It was a great day. Jacey and Colby also carved pumpkins. I'll post new pictures of the house soon.

The wait is almost over.

It has been almost 6 months since we started the home building process. Boy has it been fun. There is a good chance that we won't ever build again. Way too much stress. The time has come. If all goes well we will be moving in on Friday before Halloween. Not soon enough if you ask me. The house is finally completed and we have a final walk through on Wednesday. Colby has been asking to move in for the last week after the carpet was installed. We keep telling him we have to wait till we get the keys.

My favorite season is upon us. The colors, the sweaters, and Halloween. We love being outside. We went to the Cornbelly's this week at Thanksgiving Point and had lots of fun. The weather was perfect and it wasn't very crowded at all. We also went to the Hill Aerospace Museum and the boys loved it. Colby loved all the planes and Harrison seemed to love them too. The boys are really growing and they are getting more fun to take places.

Harrison is growing such an attitude lately that he is making us crazy. He is no longer our little baby. He gets into everything and thinks it's funny when we tell him NO. Colby really likes Harrison getting bigger so they can play together but he doesn't like him getting into his stuff. The kids are really tired of sharing a room so we are counting down the days until our house is finished. I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing about the house but we are really excited to have our own rooms again. All 4 of us have been sharing 1 room for the past 5 1/2 months. Just so everyone understands why we are so anxious. We should be in the house for the Trick-or-Treaters.
