We Do EXSIST!

First of all

WE OWN A HOME!

and we live in it!

well, partially anyway. The last few weeks since we have moved in, we have slept at our home, but not really lived in it. Since all but one of my siblings live outside of Utah, they all came to see my parents for a while this summer. We don't get to see them often, so we have put a majority of our house organizing off till after they had left. Which is right... about... now. I miss them already, but am ready for some organization and normalcy in my life.

I know I have a few "FANS" waiting to see pics of my house, but that might take a few more days, until then here is what we have been up to.

NOAH turned 7

WHEEEE!

(I LOVE Micah in this picture)

This is my brothers Dog. I am not that crazy!

We got to see this awesome family, the Willey's. Matt was John's best man, and we always enjoy being around him and his cute family. We wish him luck as he goes back out to serve his country at the end of August. Our prayers will be with them.

My Cute friend from Portland, Melissa was in town and we got to spend some time with her and her girls! What fun! I loved catching up on everything in our old Oregon Ward.

My brother Brian's family had a cute little addition that they named Hudson.

We spent lots of time with these cuties and wish we could every day...or at least every other day. (that goes for Maria and Sofia too.)

Miss ya DEB!

and last but certainly not least, we watched a beautiful family be made. Yesterday John's sister Anne Marie married Danny Kennison. We are soooo very happy for them.

and now for all those who waited so patiently here are a few pics...

This is how the outside turned out.

Our fireplace. There was some drama(just ask Mark and Joanne) with this, but I ended up really liking it.

So that is all for know. I'll write more often and hopefully more in depth in the future!

Deeken's hair looks so handsome long - which is short by non-Farr standards - keep John away from the clippers and keep it growing!

Glad you updated! You are the cutest decorator. I wish I had enough $$ to hire you. Maybe some day. Your fam is so cute, I would like to see one of the fam pic's I took:) I was so nervous w/everyone staring at me and smiling like I need to entertain, I didn't really pay attention.

Anyway, it looks like you guys have had lots of fun. I bet it was so nice to have all your family around. The house looks great! And as always the pics are beautiful.
