Spring?

What kind of spring is this? I know this is Salt Lakes forecast but it's pretty much the same in Utah Valley. I just got back from Spanish Fork because I helped my parents by picking up Ellen from school and let me tell ya, the wind doesn't help much either. My Grandpa Glover calls the snow “white manure". I agree with him. I'm ready for summer!!

Evan Updates

He's getting so big and cutter everyday. These pictures were taken during the beginning of the month. He's sitting up better at this point but he's taking his nap and Matt has the camera so I can't take an updated photo. This is the first time he's sat-up on his own for a long time without falling.

He got tired after a while so he wouldn't look at me

Evan is no longer in an infant tub. I'm afraid to let him just lay in the tub so I got him a little reclined chair. He looks like he's relaxing by the pool.

He loves not having anything over his feet so he can chew on them

He actually likes to chew on anything.

Update

I guess it's been a while since I last blogged. It's amazing how much time passes. I guess that's what happens when you get so busy. The past couple of days Matt has been working hard in our yard. I've helped but Matt deserves the praise on this because he worked so hard. It's coming up on a year since we've moved into our home. Through out that time we've been playing with our sprinkler system to get it to do what we want but it's been tricky because it's galvanized. We don't have the knowledge or the tools to fix the pipes so we had to bring in professionals. We decided just to put in a whole new system because we were tired of the hassle. In the long run it will save us a lot of money and we could fix it ourselves. The one thing I love about the new system is that it will be on a timer. All of last summer, I had to go out and turn it on and off manually.

After removing the sod, the hard work was digging out the trenches.

Last Friday, my dad came by and helped before night fell. Saturday, Matt's Dad helped in the morning and than my Dad came back with Joseph. Why this was going on, Nathan and Elizabeth were slaving over a hot grill, smoking Ribs and Chicken. The rest of my family came over for the BBQ but once we were done, it was back to the yard. After all the trenches were dug, Matt and his Dad started putting in the system.

It's not completely finished but close. Since we've been doing this, Evan has been enjoying the out doors. It's a whole new world to him.

Ha!

Everyone says that Evan looks like his Daddy. Yes it's true but this is proof that he has my looks too!

2008 Hyundai Sonata

Matt and I decided it was time to purchase a second car. We didn't think it was necessary to have the luxury to have one because I just stayed home and worked. Now that Evan is here, not only is it smart but we were also sick of pulling the front seat forward, lifting the car seat up and pushing the seat back just to put him in because we were driving a two door car. Just opening the door and placing him on his base was the first thing we noticed when we test drove the new car. Four door cars are a beautiful thing! We were going to wait a few more months to purchase one but we couldn't pass up the good deal we got after the dealer lowered the price a $1,000 more when it was already $2000.00 cheaper from the sale price. We've had it for a couple weeks now and we are so happy with it and we are glad we didn't wait.
