Has Spring sprung?

Look what spring brought us yesterday. What? It's April 15!!

The Goings On

No new pictures of the house. A date has been set, May 31. We had the opportunity of attending a live session(our 1st ever)at the Manti temple. Dear friends of ours were sealed together along with their two beautiful kids. It was a most wonderful day. The puppies sold like hot cakes, have names of people who would like one from the next litter. Dog sat the neighbors great dane, Dixie, on conferance weekend. And......the kids have been having a blast with a long long red rope, a tree, and some wood.

Just Some Stuff

First official sleepover in the unofficial house. We don't do sleepoverss but this was necessity. Two off the neighbors kids joined us. We made a large spread of blankets and sleeping bags on the partly finished wood flooring in the dining room. After singing Im Trying to be Like Jesus and saying prayer, we proceeded to tell funny stories, alot of farting, burping, armpit farting, and laughing. Doodle, suggested we sing some Chris le Doux songs (her dad is a REAL cowboy). Blue Eyes and Freckles, Bucskin Lady, He Rides the Wild Horses, Yellow Stud, Night Riders Lament, Continental Cowboy, and the crowd pleaser, Copenhagen. Things soon quieted down and I found myself looking forward to the sun streaming through the beautiful windows onto our resting place in the morning. As we were all drifting off, Bugsy said, "Hey, this doesnt just feel like a house, its a home. Ahhhhhhhhh. I do wish it were finished. It would be nice to actually sleep in the Massters Bedsroom tommorws night ( that dang ss button). We had fun with the painting. I am glazing all the main area walls right now. It is quite a daunting task, but I just pick an area to do each day and keep on truckin'. I pause every now and again to put in a couple chunks of wood flooring. Matt mostly takes care of that when he gets home from work. It is so close to finished I can almost taste it. Other snewss. Izzy had 7 puppiess, 2 died, and she pushed one out, we tryed to bottle feed it but it didnt make it either. Baby puppies are SO cute. In almost every waking moment of their spare time, the fam is becoming the best rock band ever. You should see papa on the drums. Smokin'!!!!!!!! We got a little fancy for v-day and Coop wrapped the bumper of the hot red car around a power pole one icy morning. And for some really great news. Matt got a great job offer from a company, but the company he is working for now did not want to let him go so they made him a better offer and he accepted. Thanks your for your concern, encouragement, love, and prayers, in our behalf. We love you all.

Sledding with Peter's Family

Marc Urmston Family Christmas Vacation

Marc, Linda, and family came to visit for a couple days during their week long whirlwind tour of Utah. They came just in time for all the snow. It was fun to have them here. Click here to see some more photo's.

Is it Sunday again?

I'm not sure where the time goes. Decks are done, garage doors are in, closets are ready, the gas gets turned on this week so we can turn the furnace on and start painting. Hopefully we'll have it done in time to lay the hardwood when we have all the extra helping hands during Christmas. We celebrated two birthdays this month, Addi and Kaitlin, both had great birthday dinners. Pizza and Chicken Curry. Addi wanted purple cows (grape floats) instead of a cake for dessert and Kaitlin had Key Lime and Turtle pie. Thanksgiving was spent over at Lee and Alicia Benders house. Bronson had his final piano recital last week. He finally won the battle of wills and is no longer being forced to endure the torture that is piano lessons. (sounds like someone I know) We're going to have to find something else for him to do. Kaitlin had her first game of the season last week. $5 a piece to get into a pre-season, non-league, sophomore GIRLS, basketball game. Are you kidding me? They have a couple pretty good players on the team and it should be a fun year. Cooper has a few more swim meets before his season is over. He seems to take a few seconds off every event at each meet and really has a good time. Addi may be taking Bronson's place at piano. Everyday she'll sit down and plunk out tunes she knows. Think of me from Phantom of the Opera is her favorite. Wyatt just played a number at the Spanish Fork Middle school talent show. He enjoys it and is really having fun in scouts. (sounds like someone I don't know) Now I need to go take my Sunday afternoon nap.

A few more house photos. We love the rock.. ...

..and the coupola. Waiting for the weather vein.
