Ahem. Attention! I have an Announcement!

So, we bought......a CAR!!!!!! YAY!!!!! WE BOUGHT A CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been about a year now since we've had a working car. My feet have gotten a little tired. It was pretty fast and kind of unexpected, but I think it was worth it. We have casually been looking for awhile, and then we found a 1995 Toyota 4Runner for sale for 1650 that was just a few blocks away from us. We went and looked at it, drove it around, looked at the receipts that totaled around $5000 of replaced parts in the engine a few years ago, and decided to take it for $1500. After examining Blue Book's idea of how much this should cost, we figured it was a good deal, even though it needs new tires. So, no pictures for you right now. I have to clean it all up and make it shiny first. Then you will see pictures. Oh yeah, and there's only one other problem....The lights were left on all night, so now the battery is dead. At the moment, we can't start it. BUT, not to worry because we will be getting a battery charger soon to get it all nice and spiffy again. Then we just have to go shell out a bunch more money for emissions and registering and insurance and and and. Sigh.

But it doesn't matter! Cuz we HAVE a CAR!

Curb Appeal Galore

 This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers.  This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...

Things I've learned about babies

These are things I never realized or knew about babies that I have learned since having one of my own! -Babies are grimy. I still don't understand how they can get so dirty. How did you get all this dirt under your fingernails!? You can't even DO anything with your fingers! -You know that soft spot on their head? You can totally see their heartbeat in it sometimes. It's kind of disconcerting. -Once you finally figure out some type of routine or normalcy......it changes. -Apparently babies can still "bite" their tongues, even though they don't have teeth. I guess technically they're gumming their tongue? Which doesn't sound too painful, but when a red pinched blood vessel looking thing shows up on the tip of your baby's tongue, you realize that it might be a bit painful. -Babies have to be pretty tough, they experience a lot of pain! From being born (it just can't feel great being squeezed through a birth canal), to teething...for mont...

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...
