Just a little update!

So, I have been MIA for a while so I thought I would write a little something just to let everyone know I am still alive! Things have been busy around our house lately. Our house is still on the market and we have actually been showing it quite a bit, just waiting for the right person to see it and fall in love with it! I must admit, it is quite exhausting to keep my house perfectly clean at all times, but it won't last forever right?! We are kind of disappointed nothing has happened yet, but I have to keep reminding myself, it's only been on the market for 3 1/2 weeks...I guess I have to have patience!

The kids are doing great. I joined Gold's Gym about a month ago and I go about 4 times a week and Jaxon absolutely loves it! He asks everyday if he gets to go to the gym because he loves to play with the kids. He also loves his playgroup he goes to on Mondays. He has a new "favorite friend" each week. He is so fun, but a stinker also! He hates it when I sit down with him and try to teach him something, so I try for a while, then give up because I am so frustrated and I think that he hasn't learned anything, but he continues to amaze me with what he knows and learns when I don't think he is learning anything! He is very excited to start preschool in August and I am also quite excited too!

Brynn is getting bigger! She has a doctors appointment on June 9th and I am so excited to see how much weight she has gained. She feels heavier when I am holding her for an extended amount of time. I am just waiting for her to kit that 20 lb mark so she can turn around in her carseat, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't weigh that much yet! She is starting to talk more...she can say Jaxon (and it actually sounds like Jaxon), Dad, and Tess. She isn't walking quite yet, but I'm pretty sure she will be soon...she can stand on her own, but she is such a chicken and when we realizes she is doing it, so drops down as fast as she can, little stinker!

Jason and I are just having fun being parents and are so excited for the warmer weather to finally be here. Jason planted our garden on Monday (in the rain) and we are so excited to have tomatoes in a couple of months. I'm glad Jason likes to do that kind of stuff because I don't really like to do it. Thanks sweetie!

I am actually in St. George right now visiting my parents. We got here on Tuesday and will be here until Saturday. I decided it would be a lot easier to keep my house clean if we weren't there! Jaxon and Brynn are having so much fun playing with Grandma and Grandpa. It's nice to get away for a little while even though we miss Jason! (too bad he has to work!)

One more bit of exciting news...some of you may already know this and others don't and I was going to try to not say anything for another month or so, but here we go...We are having another baby! I am due on November 19 (Jason thinks it would be fun if the baby were born two weeks early and his birthday November 5, I wouldn't mind as long as everything were ok!) We don't know if it is a girl or a boy yet, but we are pretty excited and time has gone by pretty quick. I can't believe I am already 15 weeks along! That means we get to find out what it is in about a month! So, that's our exciting news.

I hope you weren't all bored with my long post, I just thought I would write a little update and I had time, so why not!

Wanna Buy My House?

So, we are trying to sell our house. Here's the story...we put an offer on a house about two months ago (don't worry we'll still be in Daybreak!) and we heard today actually that they accepted our offer which is great, but we do have to sell our house. Luckily the contract on the other house is totally in our favor, if we want to back out at any time we can, so that's good. It's kind of a bitter sweet type of deal for us. We absolutely LOVE where we live. We love our neighbors, love our house and love our ward, but this is a great chance to move up, it's a bigger, nicer house and it just makes too much sense financially (I hope so anyway!).

So, here's the deal on our home:

This is your chance to live in Daybreak! Beautiful 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2400 square feet rambler for rent. Hardwood floors, tile in bathrooms, two car garage, window coverings.

Just a five minute walk to beautiful Oquirrh Lake where residents can walk the trails, fish, or check out boats to cruise around the lake. HOA fees also include access to Daybreak Community Center which has a workout facility and fun activities for children such as Mommy and Me Music and Small Talk Playgroup. HOA fees also include fiber optic internet.

Home is part of a green court which means there is no yard work for you! There are eight homes in a U-shape facing each other with a huge lawn area in the middle where neighbors come out in the evenings and kids play together and adults talk about their days! The neighbors are awesome! You couldn't ask for a better place to live.

So, if you are interested, drop me a line and let me know! If you need my phone # or email address, just comment on this post and I'll give it to you!

I'm Back!

So, did you think that I died or dropped off the face of the earth? Well I didn't, I just needed a little break from scrapbooking! Well today I got the inspiration that I needed! I looked on Shutterfly to see if they were having any good deals and I found out that I can get Brynn's 1st year scrapbook that is 82 pages for $70 shipped! I was so excited! The original cost was $170, but I found a bunch of coupon codes and whatnot to drop it down to $70. So, I had to hurry up and finish her book, so here are three pages that I finished today and her book is now finished, well except I have to design the cover and back, but I have until Wednesday, but who knows, I might just stay up tonight and do it!
