I forgot I hadn't really mentioned the house projects we have going on and so in response to the many inquiries(Is that even the right word or spelling?)...It seems everytime I get pregnant reality sets in and we realize what we've been living in and my husband gets busy with house projects. My house really isn't that bad but with the idea of adding another child the space in our house is getting smaller and smaller. Or maybe that is because my other 2 are getting bigger and so are their toys. Regardless house projects become bigger as we try to provide a better way of living for each kid.
After we finished our front porch John decided to tackle the residing of our home. He's got about 1/2 of it done and it's looking really nice. It wasn't his choice of the type of siding but I think it looks pretty good, now all we need to do is pick a color for the house. When we first moved into the house 4-1/2 years ago we had grand plans of remodeling and getting things done in a year or two. Well one of the last things on our list is our main floor. Kitchen, main room, guest bedroom it all needs to be done. This last week when my Parents came out my Mom stayed with me a few extra days as we tried to quickly pack up my kitchen, all the toys and everything on the main floor so that demolition can begin. Once the furniture disappeared the kids were thrilled with the wide open space and had a ball with the scooter and running around. The TV on the floor was also a big hit. We got the almost the last of it boxed yesterday afternoon and then my Mom, the kids and I headed off to the airport to escape the impending disaster.
According to McKenna we didn't get to the airport fast enough, all day she would ask if it was time to go to the airport, she even asked to take her nap early in hopes of making the day go by faster. When the plane took off and up in the air she cheered at the top of her lungs with a lot of "woo-hoo's" for about 2-3 minutes. It was hilarious!
Here I am in Kaysville Utah for the next 2-4 weeks. The girls have gotten along with their cousins beautifully, although they are ages 3-4 so there are a few squabbles but today was a fun day full of lots of love. As soon as everyone woke up there were hugs for everyone. I talked to John today and heard a few of the teenage boys from the Young Men's were over for demolition. There was one injury when one of the boys jumped to kick a door in, he hit his head on the low ceiling...go figure. John's Dad is flying in late this evening to spend a week with John trying to get things done. Here's a few pictures from Today.
I do have the task of designing or figureing out where my drawers and stuff go on my island so if anyone has any suggestions, pictures, websites please let me know!

Wow! a month! lucky you! ha ha well good thing you got to utah safely. We did miss each other ha ha by a couple of days. :(
The demolition seems to be going good! It'll be nice when you get back and get to design everything though.
How exciting! My parent's are remodeling their kitchen now. You might want to stop by while you're in Utah. He'd love to show you their master plans..
