zoo day

riding the new carousel at Hogle Zoo

it is all custom made

here is our new pantry door in the kitchen, it is getting sealed this week and the new floor should be in by this weekend and we can move on with our lives that far at least. I think it looks fabulous, juan did a really good job just following my design for him. maybe we see a new job for juan in his spare time away from UDOT!!

worth a thousand words

this one is a good one, Cort is riding one of my mom's decorative bicycles from her house. It might be just a little small for such a big little guy. We got a good laugh out of seeing him ride this bike. Maybe for Christmas he can get a little bit bigger one.

deer hunt 2008

So here is a photo from the deer hunt this year. This first one is while I waited for the others to come down the hill so I could pick them all up.
The highlight of it all was spending time with dad, ash and juan. Grandma bless her heart spent all day with Cort. Thanks Grandma, we love you!!!
We had some great camp names for everyone and I got some pee on my shoe, that pretty much says it all. Juan said I could not publish a picture of his deer cause people who be jealous at how large it was.... some of you really know why!!

new slippers

check out those slippers, the cutest little frogs you will ever see. Thanks AUNT ASHIE!!!!

YUMMY OREOS

We got a package in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa, which had some great goodies, a new outfit which is super cute and we also got some OREOS!!!!!
As you can see we loved them. Cort has learned well break in half, eat side with cream and give the other half to mom!!!

WE LOVE THOSE OREOS!!!

New Kitchen Pantry

Still working on the repair from our issues in August 2008, so here is the outside of the pantry. The door is almost done. Grandpie has been helping us and the boys made a run to the store about 30 minutes ago. The store is only 2 minutes away and still no sign of them. Missing some plumbing parts for the new bathroom downstairs.

I have so say I think it looks awesome so far, we have new tile going in also. It is going to look great. NO worries Ash the toliet should be in soon.... but I still may need a run to get me some water in rubbermaids if we go much longer with no water!!!!!!

Elton John Has Nothing on Me

While I was working on the repairs in the kitchen, I noticed that Cort had learned to put his own sunglasses on and he had climbed up on the grout bucket. I snapped this photo and laughed cause he looks a little like Elton John!!!!! He has style now.

First Snow in West Valley City

I thought I would just include this little photo of the first snow at our house this past saturday morning. Juan was pretty happy about this one, but he did not get to drive Lola (the snow plow) just yet. We need just a little more than this.

How Do I Look????

Cort is now 15 months old and has found mom's shoes to be a great accessory to his outfits. I just asked him to smile and here is our photo for the day. He loves to show his now 11 teeth just like a big kid

It's Halloween Time

Last year our little guy was a penguin for Halloween courtesy of his grandmie, so this year I hit a sale and got him the cutest little pumpkin costume. Well from the photo you can see how happy he is about his outfit. The look says it all, but just so you all know he is being a pumpkin as long as he can drag the pumpkin behind him.

IT'S ALL NEW TO ME

okay after some time, I am giving this blog thing a try. Thanks to a college roommate of mine, who told me this is how she keeps her family and friends up to date about her life.

so here goes our first post
