One Year Walk-through!

Today was our one-year walk-through with Lennar!  We can’t believe it’s already been almost a year since we moved here!  We had a home inspection done prior to that and gave John from Lennar a bunch of things that were found after the year of living here.  They’re going to take care of those things

Busy Saturday!

Today was a crazy day!  We helped the Pedersen’s (friends of ours) move.  Zach came with me while Grandma and Grandpa watched Ben.  After that, Brittany held her Birth Rocks Internship Luncheon which Angela helped with.  It turned out really nice, and even though the attendance wasn’t too high, they had a really enjoyable time.

CVHS Musical – Night 2!

Night 2 of Once Upon a Mattress was AWESOME as well!  Kirstyn is such a great little performer!  She was only one of two freshmen girls in the entire cast! Way to break a leg Kirstyn!  You are awesome!  It looks like all the dramatics around the house paid off!  🙂  We love you!

Sad Weekend for the Family

This weekend was a sad one for the family.  David and Gina gave birth to a very premature baby they named Cacia.  After living for  a couple of days, she passed quietly to return to live with her heavenly father.  This weekend was the funeral so we all went to Salmon to support the family.

Historical Figure Day

Today, Ben and Zach had “Historical  Figure Day” at school.  They both thought long and hard about what they wanted to be and eventually they decided on a medieval knight and Davy Crockett! They had a blast at school playing their parts!
