Never ending Winter! This was yesterday.....just kidding it wasn't
Wyatt threw our Skipbo cards in a sink full of dishes. I went to the gym came back and found them as a surprise at the bottom of the sink. Teach me to put off dish doing!
Bella the water baby! She would take 10 baths a day if I let her. If she hears that water going she goes a running full speed towards it!
Wyatts' broken foot :( ! This was half way through the healing. No worries he is all better now!

Update

Several not so exciting things have happened since November. Bella had a birthday numero uno! Wyatt broke his foot which was quite a battle with the ER, the gauze, the bandages, etc, and the boot. Thankfully little kids are quick healers! It snowed forever!!! It still isn't warm here, But there is no longer snow piles in my yard:) Also since November (thanks to Pa Pa ) we have the egress windows %95 done, ( I am going to finish filling in the hole tomorrow (maybe)). We have a framed bathroom with all the electric an plumbing ready to go, a door for the bathroom and doors for the furnace up. I am hoping we can get this bathroom project finished before June!! I have all the drive to do it but zero know how so once I learn maybe I can be more of an asset to the progress:).

I am very much looking forward to this summer. We got a zoo pass and we are members of a gym with an outdoor pool. We have a backyard with swings. Hopefully we will have a sand box soon, and I am excited about making my yard look pretty! I have already pruned the heck out of multiple trees and bushes! It is nice to have established foliage but it takes quite a bit of taming when the previous owner didn't do much taming. So thats that!

Fall to Winter

About a week and a half ago i took the kids on a 6.5 hour drive that actuallt took 8 hours to Casper. This picture is of Wyatt admiring the diggers in the field. This was taken from the park behind my old home in Casper. Laura took it=== thanks!! The weather was great! The roads were pretty good for this time of year so I cannot complain about that. The difficult part of traveling is having strapped in kiddos that just want to break free. Who claim they have pooped so that you pull the car over to change a daiper only to find absolutely noithing in there. Wyatt learned that if you tell mom this you get to get out of your car seat.

On another note we have been remodeling our house. I ripped out two layers of seriouslly ugly wall paneling in our front room only to find a third layer of the stuff and no drywall. So we have drywalled our wall in the front room, or shall I say that Dan's dad drywalled. I am learning a lot like sand then paint, don't start a project till the other big one is done, and you are going to have to live with the results of demo longer than you think! I thought that I would find a nice drywall wall behind the paneling, I thought the project would take a day maybe two. It turned into a two week project. However I am pleasantly pleased with my new living room!! I will post some pictures of my newish kitchen and living room as soon as they are picked up, vacumed, all the dished done, floor mopped, everything put away etc. So it might never happen :). I feel like i just can't keep up!!

Sweet Kithchen cabinets...nothing a little paint can't fix!

The backyard is perfect for a two year old!

Fireplace for those cold Idaho days!

The home was built in 1962 and the wall paneling really shows it!

Goings on round here

Just a quick update. Dan is now attending Idaho State University. He got into the Marriage and Family counseling program there and his is very much imerssed in it. He reads and reads and reads some more. I honestly think I haven't seen my husband more than an hour a day since we moved to Idaho after Wyatt was born back in 2008. I am really grateful that we got into the program!! However I still miss my husband. S
On another note we are super close to buying our first home in Idaho Falls. It is not our dream home but it is what we can afford and it suits our needs for now. Our needs pretty much being a back yard for Wyatt and a place for all our stuff. We are supposed to close on it on October 15th but we are really hoping that it will be sooner!! S
So in the mean time we are living at Dan's parent house. They have been so generous to us in so many ways and I just can't believe they haven't kicked us out yet. Wyatt has been pretty destructive...shocking I know. So all in all things are going pretty well! I am still a tired mommy that doesn't sleep but I am grateful that there is a roof over my head and that our prayers have been answered in regards to Dans schooling!

June 2010

We climbed Red Rock. Very cool! We went to the Zoo--very full of animals! We cut holes in a box so Wyatt could see were he was going when he puts boxes on his head. Wyatt not so gently loves his sister. Wyatt climbs in Bella's toy.

I am taking Natalies advice. I took my camera with me today and captured the moments. Notice the cereal on the rug and the naked bum. For some reason Wyatt likes to be naked.
