This weekend our friends Rudee and Tasha were married. It was such a beautiful wedding with all of the bright spring colors. The ceremony was performed by there Bishop and it was really nice. It was great to be able to be there to support them.
This is the cutting of the cake. I only was able to get this shot, but lets just say there was cake everywhere.
Ceremony.
Rudee looking great!
I love the DI! We have always been able to find really good stuff there. Including this little beauty:
Since the weather has been really nice weather David and I have been so excited to grill. The only problem was we didn't have a BBQ, this was a real problem considering all we have talked about the last little while is how yummy grilled chicken, hamburger, kabobs, steak, and every wonderful food you can grill sounds for dinner. So today before going to watch the Bountiful Blacks we stopped at the Centerville DI (we were originally looking for a phone). Needless to say we say this little beauty and the price was right (15 bucks), loaded her up in the van and had the best grilled chicken ever for dinner.
I love the DI!
Okay so this post has taken way too long to do, have I really forgotten how to blog? Anyway, We are loving our new home! We are pretty sure we will have projects for years to come but David and I both say "BRING IT!" Over the next little while I will post some before and after shots of our projects, we hope you all enjoy.
The Bathroom.
This little space didn't need much work but what we did do made a huge difference. We painted (thank you kaye), added beadboard, installed all new plumbing thanks to our Dads, hung a nice shower curtain to hide the "original" bathtub.

After:
Hello Everyone!
We finally have internet (now that we have been settled in our home for over a month). We have all sorts of fun stuff to post, so keep on the look out.
We can now say we are homeowners! We closed last Monday and started the fixing up Tuesday. We don't have internet yet but will soon. We will keep you updated.
So I looked outside this morning and it was spooky. It is really rainy and foggy, and Chandler couldn't figure out why we were awake while it was so dark out (he would keep looking out the window and saying "Mamma?") he is silly. Don't worry though it was really almost 9, we slept late this morning due to the 24 hour flu at our house. Wednesday night I didn't sleep a wink, I was sooooo sick (and will probably never be able to eat taco soup again). Being sure I was going to die I asked Emily if she would watch Chandler for a little while and do you know what that lady did? She took him all day until David came home from work! Emily is the greatest, plus am pretty sure she has a superwoman suit under he clothes. So I had to give her a shout out!
Today we go for our final walk through on the house. We close Monday and are really excited, I already have every room painted and decorated in my head. Chandler knows something is up, he watches me while I pack up boxes and asks "What's this?" I tell him we are going to our new house and he runs away. Hopefully we will ajust quickly, I am possitive he will be missing all of the kids and be bored out of his little mind with his mom. I don't know if I told you but the house is in Layton.
Chandler is doing really well, he had the flu a few days ago but hasen't been too sick the rest of the winter. He is starting to say all sorts of word and ask questions about everything. Some words he says are: Dadda, Mamma, TyTy(tyler), Biggy(Brigham), Kaye, Pappa, Ball, Cheese, Please, Nanna (Banana), What's This, Why, Showa (shower), Nigh Nigh(good night), Car, You serious(it dosen't sound like that but I know that is what her is saying, it is funny). Those are only some that I can think of right now but he is saying new words everyday. He is super silly and giggles all day. He loves to play with cars, color, watch the Imagination Movers, play with the cats and love love loves his daddy!
David is good, he is loving working for Walgreens and is excited to start work on our new home.
I have just been packing and mostly organinzing and decorating our house in my head. Because of my obsession with head organinzing/decorating all I do is watch HGTV and look online at decor websites(it is sick ).
We are doing great and are excited for new things to come.
Since my pictures came up the wrong way I will start with the BIG news. We put an offer on this little beauty and it was excepted! This is a 3 bedroom 1 bath home and we will hopefully be closing the 30th of this month and are excited to be living in our own home. We are however pretty sad to be leaving the fantastic home of Mike and Emily. They have been so great in letting us live with them for these last few months and we are SOOOOO thankful to them. We will let you all know how everything goes and hopefully things go as planned.
We had a pretty relaxed New Year. We had a yummy dinner of Tiny Spicy Chicken and watched Horton Hears a Who (which is super funny). We went to bed around 11 because David had to work at 6 the next day and just relaxed all day on the 1st.
Christmas this year was the best Christmas ever (I am pretty sure I say this every year). Christmas eve was a little different because Dave had to work but we still were able to read the story of Christ's birth and enjoy spending time together. Christmas morning we woke up around 6:30 and Chandler was not happy. He was super mad that we woke him up, but once we started opening presents he was pretty excited.
Santa brought Chandler lots of books, toys and a stocking full of candy. David was pleased with the Dark Knight and some body spray. I was super spoiled this year! I got a new purse (the buxton bag ) some new picture frames, a massage chair and a KITCHENAID!!!!! I could not believe it, I have wanted since we got married and have whined every Christmas. Needless to say we are enjoying some yummy treats!
This is a funny picture of Chancho. I was picking up around the house Christmas Eve and heard some tinfoil I didn't think anything of it and kept cleaning. Later I went to the kitchen and found him eating the butter pound cake by the loaf. It was so funny, and he was so happy I couldn't get mad at the little guy. 
Yummy.
My awsome new snow boots.

This is a Tag. I don't usually do tags but this one sounded fun. It also made me see that I need to organize my pictures. If you haven't done this one, do it. Upload the fourth picture of the fourth file in you pictures and tell us about it.
This is an adorable picture of Chandler at 3 months. He is wearing his golfing hat (thanks Anbre) and his chick magnet shirt. This was when he was starting to smile and I was taking tons of pictures. Not much to tell other than that he is super cute.
I love winter and all of the soups that come with it. My Aunt Tracy is a domestic goddess and shared this recipie with me. It is super yummy and great for cold winter days. I make mine in the crockpot and it is sooooooooooo good. I thought I would share it with you:
Chicken Chili (Ronni's way)
1lb Chicken (breast or tenderloin work well)
1 medium onion chopped
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 can chicken broth
1 can chopped green chilies
1 tsp salt
1 tsp gound cumin
1 tsp dry oregano
1/2 tsp pepper
Throw everything in the crockpot and let it cook on low all day or at least 4 hours. The chicken can be frozen (you will need to cook it longer).
2 cans great northern beans
Add beans to chicken 1 hour before serving.
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
Stir in sour cream and whipping cream 1/2 hour before serving.
* I just use sour cream and thicken it with cornstarch.*
Serve in bread bowls or with bread sticks.
