It's been a long time!

So it has been an extremely long time since I posted and I am happy to say that I now have a camera so I can have pictures to go with my posts as well. I have a ton of posts, but for now I'll just give a quick update with a few pictures. On Friday we took a trip up to Salt Lake because the San Juan football team was playing in the state championship game on Saturday. Since Blake is a coach we got to stay in a hotel courtesy of Coach Lee. When we got to Spanish Fork, we stopped and visited with Blake's sister Michelle and her two boys Gavin and Cameron for about an hour. Then we headed to IKEA where we had some much needed shopping to do. Oh and just a side note, my brother and his wife let us borrow their tahoe so we would have more room for our big purchases. We ended up doing quite a bit of damage leaving with a new bed and mattress for Cole, and a new table with two stools. We would have bought Brady his new bed but there wasn't enough room. We'll get it next time. We went up to the hotel which was in Sandy and hung around for a bit. We were right across the road from the mall so I went by myself and was able to buy myself a couple new pair of pants. I got home and after getting the boys settled down went to bed.

It was supposed to be cold and snowy the next day at the football game but when we woke up it was really nice. Brady and I were at the game until half-time and then we left because it was like a blizzard. Blake called me a little while later with the good news that the team had won the state championship! After I went and picked up Blake and Cole and the school we drove down to Spanish Fork to Blake's brother Brad's house. We were just going to have dinner and head out but it took a little longer than expected and we decided it would be better to wait until morning. We are glad we did because the road were very good and we made really good time.

Here are some pictures of the new furniture that was so easy to put together!

First day of school

This year I had the pleasure of sending Cole to kindergarten. He has been looking forward to school for a long time and it finally got here. I took a few pictures of him on his first day. He is such a good looking kid. I still can't believe that I have a kid old enough to be in kindergarten! He loves his teacher Mrs. Olderog and has already made some friends. The pictures don't show him with his new glasses so I'll have to take some and post them. When he registered for school they said he didn't quite pass his eye exam so he needed to go to the eye doctor. He is a little near-sighted but according to the eye doctor, "not nearly as bad as his mother." Thank goodness for that! I think Brady probably had a harder time with it at first than I did. I was ready for him to go because he was driving me crazy! The first day after we got home Brady started wandering around calling out Cole's name. Now he is fine with him being gone and has been doing just fine without big brother here. In fact, he's taken a few really good naps since school started.

All about Brady

I thought since I have some pictures of Brady that I took recently that I would post them. He is such a fun kid. He is 2 though and knows how to cause trouble. But even though he's our little monster we still love him and wouldn't trade him. Brady loves the camera and every time I get it out he comes over and gives me a "cheese!"
