We Bought A House!

My friend Bonnie bought a house in the same neighborhood a few months before we did. 
Which made me super excited when we found this house. And to have friends nearby!
When our house was pending, I went and took a picture by it! 
It's my first home! This is exciting stuff!

Here are the pictures from the when they were selling the house:

The house! 
I love it so much.

Through the front door, this is the entryway. That door is a closet under the stairs. 
To the left is the dining room.

Another upstairs bedroom.
There is one more bedroom that pictures weren't taken of.
 Maybe because it is purple sponge-painted walls?

I LOVE this backyard!

Such a great house!
So excited for all the fun projects we want to do!

Tom's Birthday

Tom turned 37!
Dallin made a special birthday sign for when Tom came out in the morning.

They made him some cute birthday cards. 
We didn't do much to celebrate, but we did buy a house, so that was pretty much Tom's present and mine for the next 30 years. 

Happy Birthday Tom!
We love you soooooo much!

Mother's Day Tea

Dallin's class put on a special Mother's Day Tea for all the moms in the class. 
It was so cute! The kids worked really hard on all the songs and poems they memorized. 

Image

Image

They served us some snacks and drinks and all the kids read their top 10 things they love about their moms. 

Image
I love what Dallin wrote about me. 

I love these specials days where I get to focus on just one kid at a time.

Grady's Pinata

The boys really wanted a pinata for Grady's birthday, so we got one!
Except we didn't get a chance to use it on Grady's birthday.
It sat in my bedroom for a month with the boys asking every day if it was pinata day. 
Grady had fun whacking it!

Diorama

Dallin made a diorama for his 1st grade class.
He chose to do a frog. The animal had to be made out of a rock, and had to include where the animal lives, what they eat, and what eats them.
