This weekend!

This weekend was really busy for me... we had two important events to attend!

1. Was my Best Friend from High School Alex's Wedding. She married Ben Speas who I've never met, but he seems to be so in love with my friend it's wonderful. They both show so much love to each other its what love should look like. The wedding was at the Bungalow in Pleasant Groove. I have honestly never heard of it before, but it was a pretty neat place and the food was actually pretty good. It looks to be family owned and operated so that's a plus too. I just felt so bad because I was supposed to say some embarrassing things about Alex during the roast, but my child was being so bad I was running all over trying to stop her from breaking things. Ugh not fun! Next time I know, no more kids they just don't want to sit and listen or hang out. I am so happy for them and especially because they got married in the temple, and if you knew the Alex that I knew back in the day... it's just a complete 180 from who she used to be. She has grown up to be so kind and loving.. just an Alex that is really a true example of a good LDS women.

The happy couple I didn't get too many pictures cause Lily would scream if i took the camera

She made a friend.

2. We had my friend Gabriel Jolley's Eagle Court Honor. He is a good kid, always has been and always will be. I would babysit this boy all the time and he was just so funny. He wants to go to Stanford for Gymnastics, and I honestly hope he gets to go, or even for the Olympics would be so amazing for him.Align Center
This was before we walked in of course my hair is flat and im holding a bottle.


I look like a heffer but everyone else looks great!And last but not least my baby girl! She puts on smile on my face even if she is being out of control.


So update on the house! It's a no go.. which is not bothering me at all we have a ton of houses on our list and the next one is in Springville and it's got a pond with a well, but the house was just so weird. I will keep you all updated though!

We...

Put an offer on a house! We have been looking for soo long and finally we just say one and put an offer on it, hopefully the bank accepts. It's the total opposite of what I thought my first house would be. It's so UGLY on the inside!! I get teary eyed just thinking about it, but it's the potential of the house that makes it appealing. It sits on 5.22 acres in the middle of nowhere.. not really but it's in the stix. I'm more stressed about the fact that I have to actually remodel something with Rob's brother and his mom and my mom. They all offered to help and clean and what not, but it's just UGLY : ..... ( The laundry room I kid you not looks like the Emerald City from The Wizard of OZ. It's not the house I want but more the land. I will be living in a 60's nightmare for a little while. First thing that is getting fixed is the kitchen and the carpet and Rob is on Board with everything that has to do with it! Then the next project after that is putting in a new bathroom in the laundry room! Which is HUGE and I really think it would be a good idea. Then who knows what else we would do. If you guys know people that remodel and they throw away good bathroom cabinets or anything like that let me know! Cause the upstairs bathroom is a hot mess and I hate it, but we just don't have an extra $50,000 to fix everything we want.

So an update with lily! She will be 2 in 3 months!!! So exciting and she is having a Dora/Diego Fiesta Party. She counts to 10 in 3 languages 1. Tongan 2. Spanish 3. English. She can point and tell you what just about anything is. She sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star all by herself word by word.. and She loves Old McDonald, the only animal she seems to really care about though is a duck. She isn't potty trained just yet, and I'm terrified to try just because it makes me sad that she will be able to use a baby potty! Her new favorite word is YUP! She absolutely loves to play at McDonald's once a week. She loves to play tea party too. We also went to Lagoon a couple weeks ago, and she loved that as well.. went on the rides by herself.. she did not cry once.
Well that's about it.
