One Big Post!

Okay, so yes, I have been a terrible blogger! It is my new resolution to get better at this! The things is, life has just been so full and busy, I find it hard to find time to sit down at the computer. Anyway, updates... here are all the things I could have blogged about in the last few months and plan on trying to get in to post some of the pics from each really soon.

First up, summer vacation. This year Hy, Liv, and I all headed down to Florida with Hyland's family. It was absolutely beautiful, fun, relaxing, and all that good stuff. It was Liv's first time to the beach and by the end of the week she was really loving playing in the ocean.

Second, Liv's 4th birthday. I think Liv's birthday this year was one of the most successful birthday parties we have had. We love going to Travelers games (minor leauge baseball team here in LR) as a family. So earlier in the summer Liv decided she wanted to have her birthday at a game. It was very low key and small but we had a great time. Liv got to get on the field and race the bases with Shelley (the team mascot). Shortly before they took the field Liv looked up at this giant moose mascot and said very sweetly, "You're going down". It was too funny.

Third, WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! This is the number one main reason I have been so busy! Between working to pay for a house, house hunting, running around getting everything the bank needed to let us buy a house, and actually fixing up the house, moving, and getting settled things have been crazy. Did I mention we LOVE our house?

Okay, so there is a mini-recap of the last few months. Like I said earlier I plan on posting pics of all said events...just as soon as our little office area gets fully set up. In the mean time if you want to know what is up with us feel free to stop buy for a cold beverage on our fabulous deck if you happen to live locally. If you are an out-of-towner...well, we have a spare bedroom now so please come for a visit! Just make sure to bring your painting clothes ;-)
