Long Post....

A lot has been happening at our house! First of all, our laptop got a virus. We had to blast the computer and lost all of our programs and so I have not been able to upload pictures or videos. We finally restored everything to somewhat of its original state and so I am able to blog again- yay!

James finished the fence. I wish I would have got a before picture but this one is 400% better that what was up when we moved in. I love it! James is also going to build a gate in front of where we park our cars so that our backyard will be fully fenced and Drezden can play outside!

With that, we got a screen door on the back of the house. I love letting more light in during the day! I just love sunshine:)

We also bought and planted some trees in our backyard. We already had the Rose of Sharon's but we transplanted them and put them all together. I cant wait to see everything in bloom:)

After three tries of getting the paint color right we are finished! I still have some touch up work to do but for the most part we are done painting for a long time. We did a tan color on the walls and down the hallway. I have one red wall in my front room and it is awesome! Tell me what you think. The temple picture was my birthday present from James and the kids this year. I think it is so beautiful. I love it on the red wall.


We also chipped out the tiled window sill and replaced it with wood. We framed in the window as well and then got 1 (yes just 1 not 2 that dont match) blind. It looks awesome! It is hard to get a good picture because of the light but I love it.

I finally finished Kinley's letters and got them put up in her room. I think they turned out pretty cute. I love her little shelves that her daddy hung up too!

James went to New York on a business trip for a few days last week. While he was gone Kinley ended up with an ear infection and Drezden got the stomach flu. Lets just say it was a CRAZY week!

Drezden is still not wanting to potty train:( We have tried and tried so we are going to take a break until summer. Maybe he will be ready by then. I signed him up for preschool and so we have to get it done this summer. He can say his full name (first and last) and some of his friends names too... here is a cute little video.

Other than that, we are wanting to get our garden planted but with this snow today.... the days are getting pushed farther back. James will be starting his "building the shed" project soon and so more pictures will follow. We hope everyone is having a wonderful Spring season:)What is with the crazy snow in APRIL!!!!
