Backyard progress!

Snips and snails and....crayfish

Loved this.

Being brought up right

Cowboy burial

Noah asked Eric if he liked his hat and of course Eric said yes. "Well, there's another one downstairs, Dad, do you want me to go get it for you??"  .... How do you say no to that!? 

This adorable cowboy is actually headed out on a mission to perform a sad deed. He's off to bury his beloved toad "Tom" who passed away, ....probably because he too dearly missed his escaped best friend toad "Hulkbuster." 

The Incredible Eric

My amazing hubby is so talented. Here's his almond blueberry cake with lemon curd frosting from last night. Wowza! 

We love Sock Monkey!

As much as this boy loves super heroes, he loves his Sock Monkey even more! Since his first birthday, this monkey has been a huge part of his life. Monkey's hair (the red yarn in his hat) gets stroked with affection, mostly when Littlest is headed off to dreamland. He's irreplaceable (trust me, I've tried. There's no foolin'). 

My little super hero. 

The Family that plays together....

Brace Faces!

My two cute oldest boys got braces yesterday! 7/14/2015 They're pretty sore today, poor guys! Judson did NOT want want them (hopefully someday he will thank us). Noahs teeth especially are a train wreck, see X-ray, yikes! 

Flashback to our Provo home "The Beehive House" 334 S 1740 W

This tugs at my heart strings! We loved our darling home in Provo on our sweet little culdesac. The front porch was one of my favorite spots to watch the little ones play. They loved the front hill, especially in winter when we pulled out the sleds. So many wonderful memories here!

I miss the gorgeous view of the mountains from our big front window! 

Eric put up the lovely wainscoting in the entryway

My dad and I put up the cool wall to surprise Eric while he was traveling for work.

Entryway

Dining room. Eric bought me this chandelier for our anniversary.

I loved this nook. Always full of sunshine and I loved the window seat to look out in the backyard at the kiddies playing. 

That white tile was gorgeous. But a terrible idea for a boys bathroom. Hard lesson learned.

My darling yellow laundry room! That's what probably inspired me to want a yellow house!

Basement family room

Loved this pergola.

The garden with our Beehive!

The little yellow cottage. This housed both my dad and my brother (at separate times) for many years! 

It's fun to look back and think of all the wonderful memories associated with this place. Love and miss you Provo!
