A LiTTLe Catchin' Up...

Seeing how right now we don't have the internet, except through Tysons phone...I'm not "interneting" it very often. But wanted to get these pics up since some of them have been requested...

the BIG moving day! Usually we have already moved a few or most of the small things, but this time we did it ALL in one day! SOOO much work, but we're so thankful for all the help we had. The boys loved helping out in loading the truck up and couldn't wait to be in our new house!
Right after we moved in, Peyton said it was his bears bday and he needed a cake. So we whipped up a treat and celebrated! Kinda more than hilarious singing to a bear...
Drew wanted a picture and turn blowing out the candle too!
Making great use of the basement one night while I went through boxes. Um, yes, WAY too many toys...we are going to go through them, seeing how we found 3 more boxes today...

In the mix of everything, my mom had surgery and my sweet grandma invited us all over for lunch that she was bringing up. It was delicious and great to see her. Hopefully my mom is enjoying her time off of work and being able to JUST RELAX!!! :)

AND a few pics of the house...
The boys "fireman room"...it's hard to get pics of the whole room, so these will do. You get the idea :)
BABY room...
Should've taken the pics in the night, but oh well...We still need some more brown in there to tone down the pink...It still glows! haha
Our bathroom
The kitchen floor process...FIRST coat of concrete

First stain
2nd stain
in process...and drying.
COMPLETE.

It's amazing how different the colors can turn out. It even says in the brochure that the color you choose isn't guaranteed to even come close to what you choose. Kinda funny if you ask me! But we love how it turned out and I LOVE the creativity that Tys put into the floor. The countertops turned out awesome too! Couldn't be more pleased.

We love being in, love the ward and our next door neighbors! We lucked out again getting neighbors with boys the same age that LOVE to play together. They would play every day if we let them. We went to church for the first time on Sunday and the boys loved Primary(Drew struggled for a minute, but went fine after that). So much fun...and we can't believe that in only a few weeks we will get to meet this little girl, which btw, I am thinking will be Kynlee. Always something to look forward to!

DiSneYLaND!!!

BEST IDEA/SURPRISE EVER!!! So Tys and I have ALWAYS wanted to just wake the boys up one morning and tell them we were heading to Disneyland. We never have been able to keep it a secret before, so we were proud of ourselves! haha and We figured now was our best chance at doing it, seeing how we had such great deals AND since we'll be adding another little one to our family, we aren't sure when we'd make it there again. The boys have been super lucky being able to go so much and we can only hope we can handle taking a 3rd one SOME DAY too! :) It was so fun to go with just the 4 of us and enjoy one last little vacation together before our family grows...perfect timing(minus me being 7 1/2 months prego...haha)!
the boys ended up in our bed that morning so this is right before we woke them up to tell them to get their Pirate Sweatshirts on and handed them their Disneyland tickets. They were both so excited, but I think Drew won for showing the MOST excitment! :)
Arriving in Cali...and the sweatshirts were off! Such nice weather there! Last year we ended up getting rained on and wearing ponchos, so we were glad to have the sun the WHOLE time!
The first day we headed to the Beach...it was perfect!
The boys couldn't wait to get their shirts off and play in the water. We didn't pack swimsuits, but looks like we should have! They would have stayed all day.
My 3 cute as heck boys!!!
Waiting for our shuttle to take us to our first day at Disneyland...YES they are playing Packman! Talk about old school!
At first Drew didn't want to see the characters...last year he was sneaking up the line to say hi. A little more reserved this time and picking his nose in half the pics :)

After riding one roller coaster and not REALLY enjoying it...(can't imagine why with this belly...haha) I decided not to ride any more of the fast ones. So Peyt got to go alone! They loved it. I think Matterhorn took first place for roller coaster loving though!
Every time Drew saw ANYTHING that had Buzz on it, he would say "that's me!!!" He really thinks he is Buzz, so cute.
So worn out...fell asleep during a shoulder ride and waiting for the shuttle.
and way to go Donald...he got them to smile pretty good.
Waiting for Playhouse Disney to start...
Don't you love Drew's glasses? haha...another FAVORITE ride...Toy Story!

Good posin' Drew :) They loved seeing Mater and McQueen.
Sick of picture taking, can you tell?
Yes, I am 32 weeks prego! haha No way of hiding under a sweatshirt in that weather during the day :) Yea for seeing Mickey!


California Adventure had an awesome World of Color show(I think that's what it was called)that was on the water. If you wanted amazing seats, you need to plan on being there an hour or more before.
More from Up, but they did other ones too.
and the traditional cinnamon roll...looks like Tys is in heaven getting ready to devour it :)
We rode Pirates a million times. I don't think we waited in line once.
Gotta love Fireworks...they are my fav! Especially getting them in January.
How about it was after 10 pm, the boys had been going all day, Drew was almost asleep...then we woke him up for the picture. BUT HAD to have the standard pic in front on Mickey. Love how happy Drew was and I had to bribe that smile out of Peyton. :)
Worn out boys! They fell asleep on the shuttle and didn't budge after that.
The plane put him right to sleep both flights.
Peyt drawing the Hollywood Tower of Terror...he kept telling us the story "and there were five people that went into the elevator and then a storm came!" that's as far as he remembered, but I thought the picture was cute.
Home sweet home...almost...just waiting for Grandpa Steve to pick us up. We can't complain, the lines were great, the longest we probably had to wait for anything was 20 minutes. I think we'll continue always going in January or February...great weather and great crowds!

AND YEA...we got to come home to our new home! We are finally in!!! On the 14th we passed our inspection and moved in on the 15th. Still a lot of work to do come Spring and well, even today! Like a backsplash, unpacking boxes, hanging mirrors and closet rods...I don't think the list will ever end :) But that's okay, we are glad to be here and call it home. Pics to come soon!

A Little here and there...

First we had to have a close up of Peyt's hair...of course this is at the end of the day...a little messy! :) It's okay, we'll remember.
and Peyt finally remembering to give us his Christmas present he made and wrapped for us at school...
A cute Merry Christmas puzzle that he colored. Tys was SO excited :)
his cute card. Thanks Peyt!!!
Whenever Drew hurts his hand he will hold it like this for hours, if not a whole day, even if he barely hurt it...so I had to get a pic cause it happened twice in one day. Exaggerated and funny...but he looks like one tough guy!
Tys working on our kitchen floor...
First coat complete, then our 2nd coat AND THEN the stain. Our countertops still need to be stained too. Can't wait!
FINALLY...our shower very delayed, finally complete too! It's so fun for us to see the progress!
and countertops...except...ta da they messed up! haha We are only supposed to have one sink in the master bath. I wanted AS MUCH counter space as possible. Looks like they forgot :) At least they will fix it.
Anyway, there is for a couple updates and the latest pics! :)
