a new place to call home

We have been looking for a home to buy for a whole year here in Tooele. We have liked living here and it was time for a change. I didn't want to move with a newborn baby so it was on the back burner for me. Then Chad called one day and said there was a house we had to go see. We both fell in love and put an offer on it the day it came on the market. We felt great about it. And we got it! It was a flipped home so all the carpet, paint and appliances were new! March 20 we moved in to a beautiful new home. It's a 4 bed 3 bath home with 4 levels. It's 2600 square feet with a large kitchen and lots of light. I love my kitchen! There are several things we want to change throughout the home and with a little blood, sweat, and tears we have started those changes! Things are starting to come together and I will post more pictures when we aren't living in a construction zone anymore! Here's a few pics of the front living room, master bath and kitchen.

3 Months old!

 Time is going way too fast! Brielle turned 3 months old a few days before we moved! She is smiling so well now and evey now and then we can get a little giggle out of her.

 She is everybody's favorite "toy."  I keep waiting for the "newness" to wear off but it hasn't and most days I'm glad. Carter told me just the other day,  "Mom, I really really love Brielle!"

 She is not always amused with trying new things....like being stuffed in my old doll bed that I used to play with as a girl.

But she is by far our easiest baby and most mild tempered. She is usually pretty content to sit in her swing and just absorb what is going on around her. Car rides usually put her to sleep. She is still sleeping in our room because of all the construction going on in Carters room.Carter has been sleeping in her room. She is our chubbiest baby and I Love the shape of her belly. It goes out to the side instead of out in front of her. And she has rolls for DAYS! Rolls in her legs, wrists, neck, tummy and chin. Just how we like them!

7 years

March 1st marked 7 years of marriage for me and chad. I was sick with a sinus infection and so chad and the kids made me breakfast in bed. To celebrate we got Chads sister to watch the kiddos and rode the trax into SLC to see Brian regan. He is so hilarious. It was money well spent. Sure love this wonderful man who has stood by my side for 10 years. He brings out the best in me and makes me happy every day. Sure love you chad man!
