Summer Happenings

Well, this year has gone by super fast!! I guess I should start from where I left off. The remodel is finished!! We finished it around the first part of April, and we love it!! I would post pictures but I can't find our computer USB for the camera. So as soon as I find it I'll post pictures. About a week after we finished the remodel Scott and I went to California to go to The Price Is Right for our five year anniversary! We had a blast and Drew Carey is the nicest guy! We also hung out around Hollywood Blvd, and at The Grove and Farmers Market! The Grove was my favorite place. It's a lot like The Gateway. We also visited Scott's sister Julie who lives in Las Vegas. While we were away Peyton got to spend the week at grandma and grandpa Done's! I know he had fun and I hope my parents enjoyed having him with them. May was a pretty quiet month. Not too much happened except I was getting sick and tired of all the dumpy weather!! At the end of May though, my sister-in-law Ruth had her third baby! A girl, who they named Lillian Grace! She is such a cutie! She looks like her older brothers, except for the bow on her head! We also found out my other sister-in-law Sarah is pregnant with another girl, and is due in November! The end of June we went to Calf Creek with Scott's family. Jordan got to ride down with us, which turned out to be really nice because he kept Peyton entertained for the long ride down. We went on a six mile hike which nearly killed us, but it was a lot of fun. Peyton loved camping! There was a bridge next to our campsite and we couldn't keep him off of it!! We also spent our afternoons playing in the creek. The water was freezing but it didn't seem to bother Peyton one bit! For the fourth of July we went swimming at Cherry Hill with Jed, Heidi, and Maddie. And Brooke and our cousin Monica came too. It was a really nice day for swimming. We then went to my mom and dad's for a BBQ. Brendan and Ruth came with their kids, and my aunt Jeanette came with her son Matt, his wife Sharee and their kids! It was fun just to hang out, talk and eat some good food! And of course the fireworks are always amazing!! In Oakley we get to watch four nights of fireworks because of the rodeo. And I can see them from my house which is really nice!! July is my favorite month of the year! There's BBQ's, swimming, family vacations, two holidays with parades and fireworks! And I get to spend a lot of time with all of my family! Next week we're headed off to Bear Lake for a few days, so I promise to find my USB cord for my camera, so I can post all my pictures!

Will It Ever End?!!

This remodel is taking a lot longer than I've wanted it to!! We were trying to have it all done by March 6th, which is Peyton's birthday party. We wanted to have the party at our house so we could show off all the hard work we did. BUT.... Home Depot didn't tell us that it takes FOREVER for them to order in carpet, so it wouldn't arrive until mid March!!! We decided to go somewhere else for carpet, since we were put behind schedule. Which in a way was a good thing because we found better quality carpet and it was a much better deal!!! We have now set the finish date for the first week in April. I really hope we can make it! It seems like we have been working in a construction zone forever! The fireplace has taken us a little longer than I have wanted, but hopefully we can have it wired and vented in the next couple of days. I promise I will post pictures. I want to wait until we're all done and then I'll do a before and after post! Keep your fingers crossed, cause I've got everything I can cross, crossed!

Our Remodel

We've decided that we need a change to our house. Well I decided we needed a change:) We are planning on taking down walls, putting up new walls, tearing out carpet and tile, installing new carpet, laminate floors and a fireplace!! And the best part is that we are doing it all by ourselves!!!! I know you all think we're crazy but I'm way excited! we've already started and I hope we're done by May, or sooner! I have been taking pictures so you all can see the process from the before to the after!!

Don't worry, We're still here!!!

Hello everyone! I know you're all amazed that I'm blogging!!!! It's been a while and I'm sorry for that! Things have been pretty crazy these last few months. Just to catch you up on what has been happening we've attended three funerals this year! Scott's grandma passed mid June, and then my uncle Ed passed away from cancer the end of July, and then most recently in November my brother's 15 month old neice passed. It has been a very hard year. There have been a lot of tears and there's not a day that goes by where I don't think of the wonderful and amazing people we've lost. It makes me so grateful for the knowledge that families are forever and I will one day see them again. They will be greatly missed! On a happier note, Ruth my sister-in-law is pregnant with her third baby and is due in June!!(I'm crossing my fingers for a girl!!) Peyton is doing great! He started crawling at 6 1/2 months old and he loves being able to move! He's into everything! Especially the cat food! GROSS!! I'm so excited for this Christmas and being able to shop for Peyton, and Scott. I can't wait to see Peyton open his presents!! I love you all and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!! (I promise to do better and posting!)

What's Next?

So we had a pretty scary experience over the memorial day weekend. On thursday Scott was hospitalized with a blood clot in his lung. The week before he was having a hard time breathing, and had really bad chest pain. I told him he needed to go to the doctor but he said it was just a pulled muscle from working on his lawns with his brother. I kept telling him that he needed to go to the doctor, but he kept saying he was fine, so I dropped the subject. When Scott's mom found out she took it upon herself to call Scott's surgeon who called us and told us Scott needed to get to the ER. We tried to find a way of getting out of going to the ER but the surgeons office kept calling us. So we packed up and went to the ER, and low and behold, a blood clot! Scott was in the hospital from thursday to saturday, and put on major blood thinners. I had to give him shots in his stomach for five days, twice a day, and he will have to be on blood thinners for six to nine months. I'm so grateful that we went to the Hospital, because if we hadn't Scott could have died and I don't know what I would do without him. He's my best friend and I need him in my life. I love him so much and I'm so grateful that he's okay. We just hope that we don't have to go through that ever again. Thank you to all of those who kept us in your prayers they were truely appreciated. We love you all.
