Love

I just love my little family so much! I love Lee so much and I think he is the greatest husband, father and best friend. There have been so many times that he has lifted me up and helped me out and been such a rock for me! He truly is my best friend that I have ever had. I am just so thankful for him and I am so thankful that I get to be with him forever and eternity! I am so thankful for all that he does for our family and I appreciate him so much! Sometimes we like to joke that we are so different in everything! I am salt and he is pepper, but that is what keeps everything so exciting and fun and we compliment each other so well. I love how just being around him can bring me so much peace and calm me down no matter what. There is nobody I would rather run to when the day is done. And on top of it all, he truly gives the BEST hugs ever! So if you are lacking, he is a great hugger! My grandma even thinks so! haha
I love Owen so much and just thinking about him and everything he does and says and how much he is growing and learning just makes me so happy! I could not even believe that 2 people could make me feel so happy and complete! Being a mother is the most satisfying job ever! I LOVE it! I love everything about Lee and Owen!
I love that no matter what, I will always have my family. I would do anything for them! I just feel so overwhelmed with Love and Appreciation right now! I am so happy and I am so blessed!

Fairview

My parents bought some property up Fairview Canyon. (It is down by good ole Ephraim. Go SNOW!) Anyways, they are wanting to put a cabin on it, maybe not for a few years, but at least we have some beautiful property to go camping! It is so gorgeous up there! We went up just for Saturday and were going to stay the night, but with Owen being tired and grumpy, we decided to drive back that night. There are a few lakes you can fish around and it is just so pretty up there!
Owen was getting pretty upset because he just wanted to go swimming. What can I say, the boy loves water! My mom was trying to get him to walk on the plank, but he just kept trying to get in the water.
I didn't get many pics because it was pretty rainy and I forgot about it but here is Lee doing some fishing with Keaton and Cambry.
And just because he is too cute, here is Owen being the cute child he is!

I need opinions!!

Ok so as promised, here are some pics of our floor now that most everything is back in order. We still have to put the quarter round up but that is it! YAY! However, I need some help. I bought this rug to go in our living room and I don't know how I feel about it. I think it is super cute, but I don't know if it "goes". Also, I don't know if it is too big. I wanted a big one so Owen could still play on it, but I don't know if it looks silly. I am not the best in interior decorating so I don't know...please help. I kept my receipt just in case I need to take it back. So let me know, do you like the rug or no? Too big or just right? Any other thoughts or opinions? I won't be offended if you don't like it, just let me know and why. Ok so here it is from both sides of the living room, also, if I do keep it, I will get some pillows that match for our couches. Don't mind Owen's toys everywhere!

And here is our kitchen

And finally the dining room

Please let me know what you think!

Past month update!!

Time to update. Sorry so long, we have been super busy! So without further ado, here ya go...
First of all, we ripped out our nasty carpet and replaced it with pergo flooring! It looks so good! Here we are before (ripping out carpet) and after! I still need to take a picture with all our furniture and now that the floor has been cleaned, I will have to do that soon.

Next up is the 4th O' July! We had some friends over and just had fireworks. Owen loved the fireworks! He was such a big boy and wanted to go light a firework so we finally gave him a firework to play with and he would walk around and then set it down and pretend to light it. It was so cute, I just love him!Next up, I went on the cutest little hike with Owen, my mom, my sister and her two kids. We had a blast. It was a really short easy hike (Owen walked most of it) and it goes up to this little waterfall. The water isn't deep so you can walk around in it. We had so much fun playing around. Owen started out fully dressed, but by the time we left he was down to his diaper because he kept getting wet.

My mom and I also took Owen and Keaton and Cambry to this place called Liberty Land. It is here in Lehi and just has little rides. They had so much fun. Owen went on his first real ride. Him and Keaton shared an airplane ride! The picture of the blue airplane is the actual plane they were riding in, I just couldn't get a picture of them because it was too high and spinning too fast. He loved it!

We also went swimming! We went with some of our friends to Lindon Pool. It is seriously the funnest pool ever! So much play stuff for little kids! Owen had another first! This is crazy but true! Okay so Owen loves loves slides! And Owen loves loves swimming! And Owen is fearless! So they have this big yellow waterslide and the entire time we were there Owen kept pointing to it and whining. He wanted to go on it so bad! So finally I see a Dad with a daughter around Owen's age walking towards it so we asked the lifeguard if we could take Owen and he said as long as one of us held him and he had a life jacket on then yea. So up we go. Owen went down his FIRST waterslide! Age: 16 months!! hahaha! And he loved it! So here he is after the waterslide. Owen is just happy to have a sucker! This is the stock photo I found online of the slide, since I forgot to get one with my camera.
