We're Building a House!

A couple of months ago, Jason and I looked at a model home and fell in love with it. Since interest rates and prices are so low right now, we decided to buy our first house! We're so excited. It should be done sometime in mid-June. We'll still be in Eagle Mountain...it's just so much cheaper to buy a house out here, and we really do love it here...it's nice and quiet and still only about 10-15 minutes away from Wal-mart...can't beat that! All the quietness and calmness of country living, but just a short drive to civilization if we need to grocery shop or take the kids to the doctors.
Here are some of the pictures of the progress of the house so far...

Gavin & Connor's First Baseball Game

We finally had a nice sunny Saturday...a perfect day for Gavin and Connor's first baseball game. I love this little video of them. Connor is first up to bat followed by Gavin. I love how Connor gets half-way to second and then stops not sure what to do. It's so cute! I love watching little kids play baseball!

Fun at the Park

We have had a few nice weather days in between a lot of not-so-nice weather days, so when we get some decent weather we have to go to the park or play outside while we can! Gavin was with us at the park, but somehow I missed getting a picture of him...probably because he doesn't like to stand still long enough for me to snap a shot of him!

My cute little niece, Taylyn, is the one pushing Aidan on the swing. The two of them are like two peas in a pod...they really love each other and are good buddies.

No More Snow...Please!

On April 30th, this is what it looked like outside. Gavin and Connor's first baseball practice was done in the snow...and it was windy! Their first baseball game was canceled...because of snow! We've been having snow/sleet/windy weather off and on for the past couple of weeks now. At least yesterday it switched to a good ol' thunderstorm...but there was hail! It's May! All I can say is no more snow...please!

Movie Night

Last night we took our big boys to see "How to Train your Dragon" in 3D. My sister-in-law, Trudy, was kind enough to watch our rascally two-year-old for us. We didn't think he'd last through the movie. When we got there, Gavin and Connor were so excited about the 3D glasses. When the first preview came one I helped Connor put his 3D glasses on and right away there's this crazy alien cartoon commercial where this alien pops up on the screen and points right at you...in 3D it kind of surprises you, and since this was the first thing Connor had ever seen in 3D it really surprised him. He started to cry. And, refused to put his glasses back on. I tried to talk to him about it because I didn't want him to watch the whole movie with double vision without the 3D glasses. It was about 10 minutes into the movie before I was able to convince him to put the glasses back on...even then he looked down and refused to watch the movie! Finally, he got caught up in it and said, "you were right Mom, I am having fun." I was glad. And, now it's all the boys can talk about. It was a really cute movie and especially fun to watch in 3D...once I got Connor calmed down that is!
