Father and son's day out

Tami and Brooklyn went up to Salt Lake on Saturday for a bridal shower which left Isaac and I by ourselves for the majority of the day. We started out by going to the park to play on the toys there.
We rolled down the grass hill, which Isaac loved doing and then watched some park goers fly kites. After the park we were driving by the grocery store and noticed that the Spanish Fork Fire Department had set up in front and were letting people tour the vehicles. Isaac loves trucks and so we had to stop. He looks so small standing next to one of the fire trucks.
Isaac also got to sit inside the ambulance. We went inside the grocery store and had lunch at the little deli area. A hamburger, french fries and drink for $2 . . . not a bad deal. From the grocery store we headed out to Spanish Fork Airport (a small private airport) and watched some some planes take off and land. From the airport it was off to a large intersection that is out in the middle of nowhere that is used for model airplanes. As we arrived, there was a plane just taking off. Isaac (and I) loved watching this model airplane do all sorts of aerobatic stunts. After it landed, we headed back to the new house to see what was going on. They started on the brick exterior on Friday and it really is coming along nicely. The entire inside of the home has a primer coat of paint and hopefully the color coat will be done this week. Isaac fell asleep in the car and slept for about 2 hours after getting home. We were only gone for about 3 hours, but it was a fun three hours.

House update


Here's a pretty recent picture of the house. We sure are anxious to get moved in. I would post pictures of the inside, but there's nothing terribly exciting about sheetrock. As of this weekend, they have pretty much finished the texturing and hopefully will begin to paint soon. As you can see, the roof is on and fully finished. We chose out a brand new color of stucco called "plywood". We're going for the natural look. It's very realistic looking and if you get up close enough, it looks just like plywood :) And as all construction normally goes, we're being delayed yet once again. They're now saying we should plan on the end of May to close and move in. We're so ready to get moved out of this little 2 bedroom apt and into our own home again.

Easter Pictures

I know, it's been a long time since I've posted anything. We took Brooklyn and Isaac this last week to get their pictures taken for Easter. It's been about a year since we've had professional pictures and felt it was about time. The kids did an awesome job. Definitely the best sitting we've ever had. And hopefully you'll agree that the pictures came out super cute. (Click the image to zoom in).
