Utah

Here are a couple of pics from my trip to Utah. One is from Sundance, and the other is the new Joseph F. Smith building on campus (I'm sure you can tell which is which.) Click on them for a bigger version.

For Sale

Here is a pic I just took for our Realtor. It is real hard to get a photo of the front of our home! After some chopping and trimming of foliage, here is what I got.

Alex's quote of the day

Alex said this morning:

"Poo-poo is quiet and it sneaks out of your bum-bum."

(How do you spell poo-poo and bum-bum anyway?) Nice.

Flooring, Furniture, and Fancy Frills...

Here are some pics of the fancification progress of our home. One is a little fuzzy, but it is the only one that hints at our having a dining area. Doesn't this just make you want to come visit?!? Or maybe buy our house? (see the link to our house-selling blog spot to the right)

Flooring progress

For those of you who didn't know, we are putting in wood (nice laminate) flooring to help sell our house. Andy Jensen and I finished installing the floor today, and he will return tomorrow to put in the molding and the transition pieces. It looks great already. After it is all finished we'll post more pics. It looks better in person so feel free to come visit!

New Year's News

Happy New Year! Just some good news to start the year off. I finished my application to BYU online today!!! I should know something in the next month and a half or so. Also, we found out that I got my licensure raise effective in December!!! And, our mortgage company got our January mortgage check in December so we can file that on last years taxes (it's the little things that count.)
In other news, we will be putting our house up on the market sometime this month in hopes to get attention of in-coming ASU professors that will be moving in this summer. Daniel is crawling all over and loves to get into everything dangerous, and has begun saying "abaaababababaaaba" a lot. Alex came up with a new song... It goes "Peek-a-boo, I smell you, making something warm" and he likes to sing it in the bathroom...Alex also starts Primary next week! Jenny goes back to school on Wednesday. Lots of fun! If anyone in Utah Valley knows of a good place to live or wants us to move into their basement for a month this summer while we house search, let us know.

Alex got a haircut

Lance cut Alex's hair, and it looks great! Here are some shots during the cut.

What a cutie!

New church clothes for a cutie!

Merry Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas and hope that you all had a great day too! We hope all of the Christmas cards we send made it! Have a wonderful New Year!
Love, US!

We are the Incredible family

without the superpowers. although Jenny can disappear, Alex is as fast as Dash and Daniel bursts into flame from time to time.

bath time

aren't they cute?

Party at midnight

Everyone woke up the other night, and while Lance calmed Jenny down, the boys fell asleep on me. Aren't my new pj's cute? Lance surprised me with them! :)

Spider Girl

Well, that spider bit Jenny too.

Daniel's trying to crawl!

Our little one is moving backwards now, but not yet forward. Here are some photos from a few weeks ago of Alex showing him how to crawl.

Jon Miller, Casselberry City Commissioner (Seat 2)

My Step-Brother just won a seat as a Casselberry, FL city commissioner. It is nice to have a Republican on my side of the family. Congrats Jon!!

New Van

Here's our new van. We didn't crash the old one, we just got a great deal on a better van. It's a 2001 Honda, Odessey EX. It's got cool automatic sliding doors, a built in T.V. with VCR (oh yeah!) and DVD hookup. It has new tires, alloy wheels, CD player and lots of other great stuff. And it's clean! :)

Autumn leaves

We have a million leaves in our yard! The kids love it! Lance has been raking, and they love to jump in the leaves. Daniel doesn't get to go out, but he's pushing up on his knees. A few more weeks and he'll be crawling! His face is fuzzy in the photo, but it's the only one I have of him pushing up. I'll get a better shot soon.

Halloween

We went to the annual Boone Boo & Monster Parade. Here are our monsters. :)
Lance & I made the cake for the Branch Halloween Party. It was tasty!

HE PASSED!!!

Yesterday Lance got his Marriage & Family Therapist License in the mail!!! We're so excited!! He's changing all of his business cards today because he is now a LICENSED MFT!

Class of 1996

Lance's 10 year reunion was this weekend and we went! It was fun! Here are some photos from the events Enjoy!

Cold, but fun

Alex talked me into a trip to Tweetsie RR this morning. It was FREEZING, but he had a great time. Here's one of the photos I got of him.

Lil' Punkin

Here's our little pumpkin!

Playing in the Yard

Lance & the kids had some fun times outside enjoying the beautiful fall foliage. Aren't the leaves beautiful? And didn't Lance do a fabulous job on the yard?

Spider Man!

So, it turns out that the sipder in our yard (see the last blog) was genetically engineered. Alex got bit and now he's climbing the walls-FOR REAL. Watch out Green Goblin, evil do-ers, and Jenny!

Spider!

This big girl I found in our yard a few weeks ago while I was mowing. It is the biggest, hefty-est spider I have ever seen in NC. It gave me the creeps, but I couldn't kill it (I thought it's family might come and avenge it's death, or that I might try and it would jump me...). Anyway, enjoy the pic.

Should'a posted this earlier...

This cool pic was taken back when Ryan and Tracy were here visiting. This is on the top of a mountian north of us. (Click on it for a bigger pic). Beautiful up here, ain't it?

The boys

Here is a recent pic of Alex and Daniel. Enjoy!
