Totally in love with this picture!

Do you think Olivia loves having a buddy or what?

She's poopin don't you worry my friend.

Families truly can be together forever and I am so glad. Life may be hard, but there will always be more good and more beauty than bad! :)

Meet Our Chickens and See what we are up to...

 In April we bought 8 Chickens and we now have 6. 2 Were stolen, by who? We don't know. It could have been a smart animal or a tricky human, but we still have 6 and because of our awesome new neighbors the 6 are safe now. :)

 They are much bigger now and more pictures will come. We are also building a chicken coop! It's been an adventure.

 Miss Olivia likes the chickens and when they were small she could catch them, but we didn't condone that she wasn't very soft.

March...

Well, since it is May I should post my March picture. :)

This is in the old house. A new favorite pass time is coloring. So we tried some tub coloring with no water. It was a success, a short one, but a success none the less.

Mini Cadbury chocolate bars were a hit. Still are, if she sees any form of ice cream bar she says please, even if they are not ours.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We had a fun day. Started with a green breakfast of green biscuits and gravy and green eggs.

Grandma Nae was hanging out with us so Olivia was a happy girl. And that night I tried my hand at corned beef and cabbage. It was pretty good and good thing Tyler was there to teach how to eat it.

Lucy came to live with us when we signed for the house. She has made Olivia pretty happy. Olivia's favorite things are puppies and mommy.

Had a photo shoot. She sat in the same place for a long time just playing with what was around her. This is because the girl would not move in the grass, she was so not touching it more than she had too.

Good thing she had Lucy to come and play with her.

Happy Easter. We went to Tayce's family cook out the Saturday before and got to officially roll Easter eggs. Pretty fun. Olivia loved digging in the sand, unlike the grass she is not afraid of dirt or sand.

Here we are. Happy holidays in March and April to you. Hope your life is happy and full of joy. Until next time.

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!

We bought a home! It was a process that we were told would talk awhile and we were totally for it taking awhile, but no worries it happened in a month. Tayce and I have decided there are very few things we can plan in our life. And buying a house was not one of them, we had a different plan and it worked out this way, which is A OK with me. 

That is an excellent picture of me pulling the for sale sign up! Some say we live in the country now. Part of our decision of buying this house is that it does feel like we are heading to Grandma Jo's, but we are only about 6 miles from the middle of Cedar City.

Our first family picture at our house. This is when we put the key in for the first time! Riley did a great job taking this picture, I love it.

So now here is your virtual tour of our new home, dedicated to my sister Misty!

We have a coat closet!

This is the upstairs living room, no TV or computer or video games, just a peaceful room that I can't wait to have furniture for. :)

This is our home! It is green. I have been driving by a house for almost 5 years and telling Tayce when we buy a house it has to have green siding and look we got it! :)

Olivia cursing through the house. She loves it here. This is the view from the front door.

Oh and a linen closet! I am so excited to have so much storage.

Wood burning stove, Tayce is very happy with this.

This room was the selling point for me... a fruit room (That's what my grandma calls her's).

The huge garage. (this garage is bigger then our previous house!)

Our land, we are on almost a half acre and we are so excited to have a garden and a fence and chickens and grass and so many fun things. We even have trees! 

There it is! I hope you love it because we sure do! We will be hosting all kinds of BBQ's this summer and parties for DoTERRA and just for fun parties and birthday parties, let's just say it is going to be fun!
