Happy Halloween!

I am finally updating, can you believe it?? I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween, filled with lots of fun and laughter! We had a pretty low key Halloween this year. We spent our night sitting on the couch watching "The Sing Off" while handing out candy. We really enjoyed our holiday just relaxing and not having to get ready for a big party. Before Leyla went to bed we took her out front and got a few pictures of her in her costume on her 1st Halloween! Here is our little Leyla Bug-ENJOY!

I just love her-that's all!!

Happy October! I can't wait for fall clothing :)

Welcome to our home!

Before I get to the house-here are a couple pictures of our growing princess! We can't get enough of her!

This past June we bought our first home together. We have loved every minute of owning a house. We have spent most of our summer working in the yard (trust me it needed A LOT of work). We still have a lot of things to decorate, but that is going to take time and MONEY!

Here is the kitchen-my favorite room. We have never had an apartment with so much cupboard space!

The dining area is just off of the kitchen.

Here is our living room. I love this room because it is so open.

Another angle of the living room.

Our Master bedroom.

Our master bathroom. It opens up to our shower/toilet area, as well as our master closet.

Extra bathroom.

Little Leyla's room.

Another view of her room.

Here is our office. It is still a mess. All of our leftover junk is in this room right now.

Our laundry room. It is so nice have space to do laundry. In our last apartment we couldn't even open the door all of the way!!

The next few picture are of our basement. The guy that lived here before us did some way random/weird things when he was finishing it. We are going to have a lot of work to do to fix it up.

Here is the bathroom downstairs.

Here is the bedroom downstairs-obviously we haven't gotten the bedroom set put together yet :)

Here is the downstairs family room.

Only about 60% of the basement is finished. I'll post pictures if we ever get around to finishing it.

Now we need some visitors. Come on over if you need somewhere to stay, we would love to have you!

June Happenings

June has been full of summer fun! At the first part of the month we moved to Tremonton. We are loving our new home. I will post pictures soon! A couple of weeks ago we went on our first camping trip of the summer up to Yost with the Palmer family. We were so excited for this camping trip because we were going to finally have Leyla meet Taryn, Ryan and Stella for the first time! It rained a little bit while we were there, but we had tons of fun just spending time together.

Stella kept falling in the same hole over and over again. (I had to get a picture for you Taryn)

Stella and Leyla meeting for the first time. It was so cute, Stella kept saying "hi Leyla."

Since this is our 1st summer home since we have been married, Greg has been able to play a little ball again. We have spent some time at a few baseball games with the Aggies, some softball with his friends and also some softball with the Llama's.

While Ryan and Taryn were up visiting Greg was able to play again with his brother. It was so nice to have Taryn back to chat with during the games.

Greg and Leyla on Father's Day. We love you Greg! I couldn't have asked for a better dad for our little girl :D

I had to throw in these next two pictures just because they are cute!

Yesterday we spent the day at Lagoon for Nucor Day. We thought that taking Leyla to Lagoona Beach would be so much fun for her-WRONG! She hated the water and the heat! I ended up not getting any sun and trying to get her to take a nap the entire time!

Leyla is 3 months and 1 week today. I can't believe my little girl is growing up so fast!

All in all it was a great day with family, even though we had a few freak out moments. What would parenthood be without those right?

June has been good to us so far. Let's hope July stays warm and that my little girl will learn to like the sun a little more so that I can get a tan :)

Leyla's Special Day

This past Sunday Greg blessed Leyla in our church. He gave her such a special blessing. I am so grateful for these my beautiful daughter and my handsome husband :) I love you both so much!

Change

The past 6 weeks of our lives have been full of changes. In March we welcomed our sweet little Leyla into the world. She has brought so much joy into our lives. She is changing so much every day and growing up so fast. She is such a good baby. She has started smiling and she stays awake a lot during the day. She isn't sleeping through the night yet, but is sleeping 4-5 hours at least once a night.

Back in January Greg applied for a sales position at Nucor. He told me he knew he wasn't going to get the job, but it was worth applying for. A month later they called him and did a phone interview with him. After that he was called in for a face to face interview, an interview with the whole sales department, and two more phone interviews. Three weeks ago they called him and offered him the position. We are so grateful that this job worked out and we were able to stay home for the summer and not have to travel with a new baby. It is bittersweet not going to Minnesota with the rest of the family, but we feel like this job was such a great opportunity. My husband is so great to us. He works so hard to provide for our family.

In one month (hopefully) we will be residents of TREMONTON! I never thought in a million years Greg and I would live in Tremonton. We are in the process of buying our very first home. I am so excited to be able to live in a house and not an apartment anymore-we are running out of space! After a lot of thought and discussion we decided Tremonton was the best place for us so that we would both be close to work. We are hoping everything stays on schedule and we can move in by June 2!

Here are some pictures of the past month.
