Ok, these are in no order, just wanted to get some pictures of the house up before I get in trouble. I'll post more as I decorate a little more. Here's the kitchen, to the right you can tell that it overlooks the living room.

This is Em and Macy's room. Em gets the full size bed that belonged to Shelly's mother, I love this room and Em feels pretty cool that she has the biggest bed

Macy's side

All E wanted was a sports room, so I did the best I could. He loves it!!
I love the bay windows in these rooms with the storage in the seat.


Morgan's room is waiting for the extras like curtains and some decorating, she loves having her space however and reads every night without Em trying to cause mischief of one kind or another
I loved doing the garden bed and I thought of my dad all day and do every time I'm out there. I hope I inherited his green thumb!!

our view from the back patio

Most of the patio is covered except for the far end where we put our hot tub that we bought (you can't sit in a hot tub and not look at the stars!!) and then the garden is on the other side of that.

Here are some random, everyday pics at our house.

I love summer

E and his cars

Morgan's always ready to pose

Morgan and our Christina (well, Ok fine she belongs to Shelly)

My Em...I love this girl, she has brought me so much amazement, laughter, and pure joy
Here's Em's impersonation of Shi-fu

How can you not spray whipped cream?? It's the best!! Christina and Miles

Morgan and Ethan enjoyed spring soccer this year. They both scored goals here and there and enjoyed the team part of the sport. I think Ethan is leaning more towards baseball however, but Morgan had a great group of girls that were pretty good and are all already signed up for fall league together. Here I go....plunging ahead into soccer mom role...do I really have kids this old already??? Where did the time go??

This is Morgan and her friend Shay...they seem to enjoy each other and are headed into 2nd grade in the same class next year

One question...where's the ball in this picture?

Here's some pics from my cousin, Tami and her beautiful family visiting us over Memorial Day weekend. 4 adults and 11 kids and we all survived!! We had a blast...thanks for coming LeFavor family!!Kate and Em played in Em's room a lot, we didn't even know where they were sometimes because they were in her closet.

The tramp was fun with all the kids...wore them out pretty good too

Kate, Em, and Sophie

I haven't seen my friend, Amy Farr for over a year. Now that they've moved to SLC only 4 hrs away, we'll see them a lot more now. They visited us for 4 days and unfortunately Amy, and then myself, got sick...but the kids had fun and that's what it's all about, right?

(maybe next time we'll meet in Park City, ok Aim?)

We love you Farrs!!

Deeken and Em

Noah and Morgan

E man and Micah

chillin' on the patio

The twins are 6 mos old! They are getting soooo busy and a lot more fun. They laugh out loud a lot, especially when you kiss Miles neck or tickle is tummy up to his neck. Macy laughs randomly when you just talk to her or smile at her. They are both rolling over both ways and love sitting in their walkers and throwing toys off of them. Macy has taken to thumb sucking while Miles sticks with the pacifier. They are both a joy and the older kids love on them all the time...Em a little too much at times.
