House is Moving Along

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I actually haven't been online for a while except to do homework and just haven't found the time to do it. Here's a video that I never got the chance to post. It's of us pushing the wall down. Courtney is recording it though and that's why it's moving like crazy. Feel free to turn it off if it makes you dizzy/sick.

Daddy had just started finishing the edges of walls here's how it looked.

This is what color the place was originally.

There's a space here so that if you wanted, you could put in a fireplace but it would have been too much work. We may do it sometime in the future though.


This is so that the dining room seems more seperate from the hall and living room. Didn't Dad do such a good job!!!



I absolutely love this. Can you believe that Dad made that!?!?! It looks so good.

Daddy also finished the edging of the arch.

Caiden was very shy and didn't want any pictures.

Mommy working on the walls. She did awesome!!!

Everything all covered up.

Doesn't Courtney look hot!!! lol

Me!!! Don't I look fabulous trying to reach up as high as I can lol!

This is how it looked just after we painted the room.

The seat area after it was painted. Doesn't it look awesome!!!

Catching up

So I have a lot of pictures to post starting at Courtney's Birthday all the way to now. Luckily I decided to start taking pictures just after Chiristmas but sadly it was AFTER Christmas. Oh well, we have stuff so it'll have to work.

These are all of Courtney's friends that showed up at her party. They had a lot of fun.

Daddy bringing out the cake to Courtney

Courtney blowing out the candles.

We couldn't find the Birthday candles so we had to use left over Thanksgiving candles

Courtney and Grammy. Soooo cute!!!!!

Best pose we could get of them all.

Every Christmas Eve. we all sleep over in one of the bedrooms and this time we slept in my room. Caiden actually slept with us for the first time and it was awesome. He's on the floor with Courtney.

There's all the Christmas presents

Not the greatest picture

Aww cute!!!

Once again, best we could get lol

Cute Daddy. Sadly we did not get one of Mommy

The wall's gone!!!!!

We're going to be taking out wood there and then putting in tile.

This is the tile that we're going to put in.

Mommy painting the book shelf lining

Caiden playing tic-tac-toe

We were amazed when he actually ate most of this or at least tried them

Caiden had an accident and so I had to run home and get him some new pants. Courtney got bored while waiting and took some random pictures of herself

He loved the slide!!!!

In order to get him in this we had to go in with him

Courtney and her friend Brookelyn had to sit in the back of Stevie (car) with the sleds when we were heading out to go sledding and this is what they looked like

Courtney and Brookelyn heading up the highest hill to go down

You probably can't see this but they are hugging because the hill was so hight they thought they were going to die

Brookelyn fell off her sled as she was going down

Courtney starting down. I didn't capture a picture of it but she fell of her sled too but she fell on to her stomach and bounced a lot so she got pretty scraped up. Luckily it wasn't too bad

Brookelyn and I couldn't help but laugh because it just looked ridiculous when she fell but then we realized she was hurting

That's me. Courtney thought I was crazy to have headed up and done it after they had both fallin off and she had gotten hurt. But I thought it would be awesome. So their I am. I hit a really big bump their so I totally look like I'm standing slightly. That's when the sled turned backwards.

Their I am still hanging on hard. This picture was actually taken with no zoom. They were standing on a good sized hill and they didn't think I'd make it all the way cause they both fell off, but I never fell off and came right towards them. It was just like one of those video's you see on America's Funniest Home Video's where the people are cheering until they suddenly realize the person is coming right at them and so they started running. It was hilarious!!!!

There I am on the hill and I was laughing so hard because they had run out of the way, and I had come so close to going over the side of the hill and it was a pretty steep drop so I was feeling relieved

Courtney decided to show what she had looked like when she had fallen off her board at the end. I had taken pictures but she said it was too dark so she deleted them. But this is basically how it ended.

Courtney and Brookelyn before they went down another hill. Unfortunately this is when it started getting way to dark so I couldn't many more pictures.

That's Brookelyn going down

There's Courtney

So an interesting story about this, Caiden was crying all day because he didn't want to get dressed unless he could wear that brown shirt. Well Mom finally got it washed but it was pretty late so she just took him to Grammy's. On her way though she came to check on us and I got Caiden to wave at the camera. This is the happiest he was all day.

On Sunday Mom and I went to temple square to watch the Music and Spoken Word that the Tabernacle Choir does every Sunday. We've been to it before but for some unknown reason, this time it was sooo much more touching. When they did their customary God Be With You Till We Meet Again, Mom started crying. It was just so beautiful.

Mom and I feeling happy afterwards

Somehow I got this gorgeous picture of the temple on the first try

Here's the manger they have in front of the tabernacle

Beautiful

Me!!!!!

Mommy!!!!!

I couldn't believe this was actually glass. This is in the conference center

We couldn't go out on the roof cause of the snow

Next to the Capital Building.
