So I have SO many things that I want to blog about and so many pictures to share, but our home computer, the one i can put all my pictures on, is broken:( We think it got a virus so until we get it fixed i will just have to wait to update my blog! Hopefully we can get it repaired soon!! Then I will update my blog on everything weve been up to!!:)

Cherish.

Do you ever think back and really realize how fast time goes by, it seriously FLYS by!!! I especially notice this now that Im a parent... Does anyone else feel like something that happened a month ago could have seriously just happened yesterday??

I wish i could grab onto time and just make it slow down, It breaks my heart when I realize how fast my "Babies" are growing up, when this thought comes to mind, I make myself slow down take a step back and just let the moment soak in, my babies, their laughter, their sweet little smiles and innocent eyes, chubby short legs and their tiny little voices, they way that they depend on me for their everything, and yes even the whines and the cries, I just let them soak in, try to keep still pictures in my mind because one day they will be grown and time will wisp these days away.

I want to really cherish everyday the good and the bad, because I know that one day I will miss TODAY.




These pictures were both taken on Easter Sunday, exactly a year apart, Tyson is growing up so fast....








These are taken about 11 months apart! That newborn stage goes by SO fast! I can hardly belive my little baby will be 1 this month!!

Easter 2010

As my kids get older holidays become so much more fun!! We had a great Easter this year and we were really able to incorporate some great traditions. The morning started out with a letter from the "Easter Bunny" who left clues, like a mini scavenger hunt, for Tyson to find his Easter basket, the letter also reminded Tyson what the real meaning of Easter is :) The boys loved their baskets with all the goodies! And they both loved finding the eggs the Easter bunny hid :) We spent the later part of the morning watching General Conference which was absolutely amazing and so spiritually uplifting!! Afterwords went to my Dads and spent the rest of the day relaxing, hunting eggs, eating yummy food and enjoying each others company. Our boys had a blast this Easter, and we loved seeing them so happy!!

HAPPY EASTER!!

Our Water Babies

Our boys love love love going swimming! Tyson was very hesitant the first time we went but after hanging out for about 30 min he got the hang of things! He is still very cautious about how deep the water is and doesnt like putting his face in, but he loves just doin his own thing! Jarom on the other hand has not a care in the world about the water, he will crawl untill the water is over his face if we let him! We have had fun taking them swimming, just seeing how happy it makes them, makes my day:)

Our living room makeover!

So i havent been able to post any of the things that we have been doing around our house since weve moved in, but now that i have a camera i can take a few pictures of our new living room and show you! Tyson and I decided on a budget so we could do something new and refreshing in our formal living room and I think for the amount of money we spent on our makeover it couldn't of turned out better!! I was so super excited to do this because I finally had the chance to turn my ideas and inspirations for the room into a reality!! Little by little my vision for living room came together!

We decided to paint part (2 walls) in the room green, now when i envisioned green originally it was not this color, I ended up having to paint one of the walls twice because the first green was Horrible!! After much debating and thought, luckily the second shade of green I picked out worked great!! I love this color! Its so refreshing, calming, modern and elegant at the same time! I love what a little bit of paint can do to a room!

We did a lot of pricing and shopping around before we bought any furniture, im glad we did because we got amazing deals!! I love the chairs, because it is a smaller room, they allowed the room to be more open but still seat as many as a loveseat would, I also made a padded seat for the piano bench that matched the walls, so there could be additional seating!

I know Im probably going on and on, but I really had so much fun putting the room together! Wish i had some before pictures so you could see what it was like before... Let me know what you think :)


I put together the frame/collage thing above the couch by buying old frames at a thrift store for super cheap and just sanded and repainted them and then just added my own idea to them with the ribbon, vinyl lettering and wooden lettter. On the frame in the middle I used crackle paint :)

The emblem on the piano is vinyl lettering and I added some of the green paint to it to tie it in.

The quote on the wall is one that Tyson and I had custom made, because we liked the quote so much, the saying is by is by President Monson.

I wanted chairs to give the room more of an open look, tyson actually pointed out these ones out when we were looking online, so he gets the credit for these beauties :)


I love throw pillows:)

The bookshelf is one of the first things we got for the room, we love it!

Our Friends Mom was getting rid of her piano, she asked us if we would want it and we were so happy she did because it fits perfectly:)


This mirror is at the bottom of our stairs, I love having the hooks they come in really handy for our jackets and my purse when we are in a hurry :)

I put this arrangement together and eventually i want to get a stand for it and put it on the other side where the ficus tree is...


The picture frame that is blank is not meant to be that way just havent got around to putting one in :)




This is the little padded piano bench that i made, kinda surprised my self with this one, so far its still holding up haha



So this is our new and improved sitting room...next on the to do list is our backyard, when we bought our house the back yard wasnt finished, meaning no side fences no sprinklers and no grass! The weather is getting warm and my boys so desperately want to play out side, so we are hoping we can get it finished soon! Pictures to come!
