Summer stuff!

New House 3 months ago

So I already told you that we bought our very own house and here are some of the pictures I promised you !Here is my kitchen that I love so much it has alot of space and so much counter space! I painted it green to match the rugs I bought but I haven't downloaded my new pictures so just imagine it! I love it!

Playroom- once we have our second child (which wont be for a while) this room will be Keytin and hopefully we will have a playroom down in the basement (which hopefully will be finished by then).

Keytin's bath room- if you opened up the shower curtain you would be able to tell because of all of Keytin's toys are just hanging out waiting for him to take a bath!

Keytin's bathroom- some more of the decorations that i think are just so cute!

Kitchen rugs- the green spots are the color of my kitchen and I love it because it make my kitchen so much brighter and happy plus green is my favorite color.

So two weeks after moving in we got my bedroom furniture and our living room tables. We bought them from Best Deals in Springville. The furniture is beautiful and at a really good price!

There log I thought I would take a picture in case anyone wanted to know!

This is one of our corner tables that I love! The flash kinda made the rock an ugly color cause they are really pretty in person!

This is my bed room set we got a Cali king, 2 night stands, a dresser with a mirror, and a TV holder thing! I love our pick. The hardest and nicest thing about the store is they have so many choices to choose from but you have to choose from magazines so you don't really get to see them in person. We were choosing from three different ones that we really like and finally Russell made the final choose and I am so glad he choose this one it is so beautiful and thick!!

I put Keytins name on his door and I am so proud of myself for thinking of it!

Longest Blog ever!!

So here goes the longest blog I have ever done. So much has been going on I have been really busy and lazy to blog so now I will catch all of you up to speed. Well we bought a house in Manti that is brand new and has everything I wanted. The layout, the yard, and it is in Manti. We first looked at it on Feb. 27 and we started moving in March 26 (on my Birth day! Best birthday present ever!). Now I bet you are saying that we got in super fast which we did but it wasn't just luck there was a big reason everything moved so fast for us. Barclay's got a job in Louisiana and Russell got the great opportunity to go! Russell got to sleep one night in the new house and then he left the next morning. He was so exhausted and plus he was getting sick it was so crazy. Half of our stuff (tools, toys that Keytin doesn't play with any more, camping gear, and other things that I wont need right away or I wouldn't use without Russell) got put in a storage unit the week before we signed just to make it a little easier on us. Then I got a day to move and have Russell help to move as much as we could into the house which most of it ended up in the garage and I have slowly been moving it in. So now I have a brand new house and no Russell but only for a little while. They say the job will last for 4 months but pretty sure it will turn into 6-12 months. The soonest Russell will be able to come home is July 4 which sucks. Keytin and I were planning on flying out one week and seeing Russell and Louisiana but they are working all 7 days so we are going to wait and see if sometime Russell could take somedays off and we could go tour the towns but we are still waiting and seeing how everything is turning out. It has been 2 weeks now that Russell has been gone and let me tell you its not easy having the biggest part of your life all of a sudden gone. Almost every day I catch myself staring at pictures of him and start to tear upor even having a huge break down!! I miss everything about him. Russell and I aren't that good and talking on the phone so our conversations last about ten min. and the whole time we talk about Keytin and what different thing he did that day. It also suck cause Keytin has changed so much he has turned into a sponge and is developing so fast and Russell is missing it. I do send him videos everyday of Keytin and me over the phone so he can still get a little glimpse of what is happening back here but it isn't the same.
I hope I am not giving off the wrong impression cause it is so great that Russell has work and that we are blessed that he can make the money to put us a head so that when he comes back he wont be as stressed about that cause we still have alot to do with the house which includes putting in a fenced in back yard for Mya (our dog) plus sprinklers and finishing the front yard too.
I haven't got pictures yet of our house but they will be coming I promise I just wanted to get all of our furniture in and everything set before showing the kinda finished result. But here are pictures of other thing. They aren't in order SORRY!
Here is Keytin helping me take apart the book shelf. He watched me us the screwdriver and then he had to do it to.

Here is Russell hauling Keytin around on the dolly after getting some of the heaver things out of the old house. Keytin had a ball he didn't want to stop.

Close Up!

Here is Russell getting all of his tools set to leave. Plus we had to buy me all the tools that I would need since Russell would be taking his.

Russell even put my name on all my tools so everyone would know they were mine. How cute is that!!

My parents, Keytin, and me colored Easter eggs (more my mom and me while my dad and Keytin went and watched TV) the yellow one says RDS+MLS and then Keytins green one says if you can't read it I MISS DADDY!! ya I cried over that stupid egg forever!!

So on Easter Sunday our new neighbors the Kirkhams had an Easter egg hunt in there back yard and they invited us it was great. My neighbors are so awesome which is good cause Keytin loves them. Any chance he get to take off without me looking he is running across the street to see them.

Here is Amber and Keytin looking at the paper eggs they had in the ground.

Every holiday that comes up I go outside and color on the cement so here is my lovely drawing of a bunny with his eggs I know I'm an artist.

Here is the family hanging out on the floor since I hadn't go my couches yet.

Here is Keytin at the park at 9:00 AM while it is snowing waiting to hunt for candy. He really could have cared less about the candy he just loved watching all the people and he loved the baseball field.

Look at all that candy that he just walked on by.

Keytin and Me freezing our butts off.

My mom and me with all our eggs supplies having a blast. My mom went nuts and stole all my eggs she just couldn't get enough. JK love you mom!!

THE BEST PARENTS EVER!!!

Since Russell has left my parents have help out so much! My mom is always more then willing to take Keytin for me or just entertain him so I can have a break and my dad is always right there when I have a problem that needs fixing I am so blessed and love them so much. There is no way I could ever do this without them they are amazing and so patient with me and Keytin. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH I can never say it enough!!

He is just some pictures of my parents be awesome and helping me out.

And Keytin has to be right there to watch and soak it all in. Plus he loves my dad so much if I can't calm him down I just hand him off to my dad and he always gets the job done.

And Lorin is great to stop on by and see if there is anything he can do to help. I appreciate it so much. Once again if there is a power tool going Keytin is right there.

My mom is so great I can always count on here. I LOVE YOU MOM!

My stove wasn't level so even thought my dad hates to get on the ground he was more then willing.

Toys, Toys, Toys!!

So for Christmas Keytin got a vacuum cause he is constantly wanting to play with mine. Well for a month it has just sat there because he really didn't know what to do with it plus it was a little to heavy for him. But now every time I whip out my vacuum he has to go find his and help me out.

Russell and I were helping Joe Huko move into his new house and we started talking about how Russell is already looking at snow mobiles for Keytin and Joe told us to just take is old Kitty Cat since it is to small for his kids. Keytin is to small for it right now but he enjoys having dad run with him and drive it around the yard.

So we went to Prove one day and Russell out of no were wanted to go to Toys R Us and look at the toys. Which really surprised me cause he always is saying that Keytin has to many toys and that he doesn't need anymore. Any ways we are walking around and you could tell Russell was looking for a certain thing and bingo he finds it and put it in the cart and we were off no questions asked. But by the time we got home Keytin had already gone to bed for the night so he never saw what he got till the next morning. As you can tell he likes it a lot and has watched his dad play with the big four wheeler since he is already trying to work on it with a screw driver. He played like that for are 2 hours non stop.

This was the first time Keytin saw his four wheeler. He just keep smiling and laughing. It was like Christmas all over again.

So we went to Haley's Birthday party and I started talking about all the toys Keytin has all of a sudden got and then Susan asked if we would want to store there hoarse for them since they don't have any room for it and they don't really need it. So now Keytin has got a hoarse, four wheeler, snowmoblie, and a vacuum I mean it is crazy all the toys he has. Almost all day he is running from one toy to the other non stop. It is great for me all I have to do is help him with what ever problems he has and other then that he is good to be on his own.


CAN YOU SAY SPOILED!!!

shoes, shoes, shoes!!!!!

Keytin loves daddy's shoes!!

And his snow shoes!

Keytin hates when daddy has to work out of town! Mom does to I just cant fit in the suite case!!

He also loves acting like he is talking on the phone even if it is my i pod,

Days go by to fast!!

So I know that I haven't blogged in a while I just don't get on the computer that often so I have gotten behind! They days just go by way to fast and Keytin is growing up way to fast!! So I will bring you up to speed about what is happening in our house.
So we celebrated Keytin's birthday. We didn't have a party or anything just us. My parents showed up to give Keytin his presents when he was getting in to his cake. He didn't really dive into it like I thought he would. He liked the tools on it better. Then after that we cleaned him off and Russell, Keytin and I went swimming at the AC.

A new thing my son loves is soap. He can't get enough of it. If I don't put it where he can't get it we find soap through our house with teeth marks in it like this one here.

Russell's brother Bryan brought over a fridge box for Keytin to play with. He really didn't know what to think about it but know he loves it. I cut a door and a window in it and painted it so now it is his little hut.

So for about 3 days Keytin had a temperature over 100 degrees and was miserable. I still am not sure what caused it cause he had just got his yearly shots, he was and still is teething his molars, or it could have just been a little flu. Who knows? But once the fever pasted all of a sudden a rash broke out over his inter body. You can't see it very well but he was swollen and itchy but a good sport and found a new love of wearing his fathers hats. But he has to have it tilted a little so that he can see it. Ow ya and he has picked up a little scall which if you run into us he most likely will show you!

So two days a week I get to tend Cashe Pohlsanders (Katie Olsen Pohlsanders's little boy) while she works. It is so great to give Keytin a chance to play with a boy his age and it changes up our routine so he doesn't quite get so board with mom! They are so cute how they play together. They of coarse have there bad moments where Keytin turns to hitting and Cashe turns to biting so every once in a while I have to jump in and separate them but they always find a way to get back in the same room!!
