Only because I still do whatever mom tells me to


Travis, mom said you don't eat your vegetables, so I have to tell you this. Tate won't eat vegetables and I occasionally steam them and put them on his plate hoping he'll give in someday. So, I put some reheated brocolli on his plate and he just mashed it with his spoon and continued to eat his cereal. I chowed down on the remaining green stuff. It was so yummy. Oh man, I think I got in some zone because the next thing I remember, the broc was gone in my dish and I looked at Tate's tray and his was gone, too! I checked his seat and the floor and it was nowhere to be seen. So, he must have finally eaten it and there was much rejoicing to be had.

the Move

Some folk are putting Valentine backgrounds, but we've got some John Deere action here in honor of g-pa's tractor that you can glimpse a bit here.

The back porch.


Last week we moved across town! We're renting grandma's house and it is glorious!!! We love the space and quiet neighborhood full of aunts, uncles, and grandma! This here is a picture of Uncle Dave installing child's locks for us. I asked him to show me how and he just did it all. Uncle Dave-- thank you, thank you, thank you! Our old ward's elder's quorum also helped haul all the heavy stuff and we soooo appreciate their help, too.

Before we moved in, we repainted the interior and installed wood flooring and new plushy carpets. We are feeling spoiled and living it up for as long as we're here =) We're unpacked, but haven't finished all the little projects like area rugs, curtains, and pictures on the wall. I'm only going to put up curtains on the sliding door area by the dining room. Shana, you requested pics, and I know you're good at decorating and everything creative. So, you and anyone else with opinions, feel free to give me tips on how to decorate! Now, on to the pics...

Main area

messy master bedroom-note the two outfits I had out for Eric to see when he got home
Penny's had 75% off sale and we got his outfit for $10 and mine's from another store on sale for $15. Suh-weeeet!

Main area again. I don't know yet what to do with this area.



Tate's room

You should really just come see the place. And stay a while because now we have a guest room!
