Happy Independence Day!

For the fourth this year we went to a fun parade in Pasco. The kids had a great time.

We had planned on having a few families over for a BBQ but a stomach bug has been going around and hit everyone but us. We still had fun staying home by ourselves and lighting our own fireworks.
We did have a close call with Morgan though. She was holding a sparkler above her head and a big piece fell right into her eye! It was pretty scary and we almost went to the ER but she was able to open her eye and let us check it out. Luckily she must have closed her eye right before it hit because she had little burns on her upper and lower eye lids. She was perfectly content to sit on my lap with a cool cloth over her eye and watch the rest of the fireworks. (it wasn't even swollen the next day. It has now healed and there's not even a scar) Close call!
After our fireworks were over Kayden said 'how come our fireworks are just little?'. He was quite disappointed the we didn't have the huge exploding ones we could see in the valleys below us.

Smoke bombs

Tate and his stash of fireworks

Throwing their snaps. They had so much fun throwing them everywhere.

Home Sweet Home

At last! Pictures of our house!

The first room you see to the right when you walk in.

I want to eventually make it a cozy reading room.

The view straight ahead when you walk in the house.

A little office area in-between the kitchen and living room. I love it.

I LOVE the mudroom and laundry area

Morgan's room

Kayden and Tate's room. Yes, it's pink. I still have lots of work to do on the kid's rooms.

Master bedroom

Basement

The far door on the left goes to a storage room and the room on the right is a bedroom that will be my craft room.

Basement guest bedroom and bathroom

We have room for toys to stay out and not be in our way!!! It's so nice!

Our awesome backyard

with a fire pit. We have yet to try it out but I think it'll be fun.

We LOVE our house. It's so nice to have so much room both inside and out!

More than a year...

It's been more than a year since I posted and so much has happened. I'll just summarize in pictures then maybe do more detailed posts later.

Easter 2011

Kidz Dig Rigz 2011

An event a local hospital puts on every year where they gather tons of trucks, tractors, police cars, fire engines...any kind of rig you can imagine and let the kids climb and explore it all. It's really fun.

We went to St. George in June 2011 with a bunch of Tyler's family, then Grandma was nice enough to take the kids home with her so we could stay and play for a few days

Zion National Park

Back in northern Utah we went to Union Station

Random picture of Morgan ready for a night out on the town

Minnie Mouse Morgan

Kayden and Grandpa made up a new game called 'trap'. The kids all run around and Grandpa tries to trap them when they run passed him. It's hilarious. Kayden is obsessed with playing 'trap' now.
