Birthday Party...

Dad's birthday was on November 4th, (thursday) and it's his 60th birthday this year so we (Sharon) were planning a big suprise party for him complete with concert and everything for Saturday, but we thought we better still do something for him earlier so he didn't get suspicious.

So Friday night we had a spur of the moment get-together for supper, pie, and ice cream.

Where did it go?

I seem to have lost my blogging mojo.
Some could argue that it's been gone the whole time, but whatever...
Here's to hoping I find it soon! ☺

House Update #49085940

Sorry, all I write about anymore are house updates.

It's kind of all consuming right now.

It feels like we got got quite a bit done on Sunday.

Cary and Alex finished running electrical wire, installed recessed lighting in the kitchen, Alex installed my kitchen fan, and Ryan started on taking out the back porch.

Alex and Kenneth putting the fan together while Crystal supervises. ☺

They also did some work under the house.

Kenneth took this picture for me since I don't go under houses.

If you look hard enough, you'll see Cary in the background there.

A while back, I posted pictures of the front yard, but now we've removed some trees.

I say "we" loosely. It was really Brad that cut them down.

There used to be an apricot tree growing on the corner of the house and it was just way too close, so it had to go.

That stump right there used to be a willow tree, and I HATE willows, so it had to go... I may plant another tree there, but we shall see.

There's a party in my tummy...

22 weeks

Actually, last night it was more like

"There's a dance party in my belly..."

and I was wanting to go to sleep.

I'm thankful that I haven't had the back pain with this pregnancy that I had with Ella (so far, but with Ella it was pretty much the whole pregnancy)

I've been having braxton hicks contractions since 14 weeks.

I'm almost more addicted to Cafe Rio this pregnancy than last time. (not good for my weight or our budget) ☺

Random :)

Alex and Kenneth had to come in to SLC yesterday to run some errands, so we met up with them to do some serious Home Depot shopping.

You know, fun stuff, like, plumbing fittings, black pipe, bathroom fans, etc...

The kids were really excited to see them.

By the time we were done shopping and loading particle boards and sheetrock on to the back of the truck, it was snowing and snowing hard!

Boo.

Sharon took these pictures last Sunday night while we were grabbing a bite to eat after working on the house all day.
