"Home" at Last

We've finally finished the
house!

I know you are probably grateful to not have to hear about our house building adventures anymore. We are just grateful to finally be able to enjoy the comforts of our own home once again. The Scott's are grateful to not have to share a home with the CrAzY Jones family anymore. Thank you Scott's for allowing us to invade your space for the past 10 months.

The kitchen, still needs a little cleaning up from construction. The cabinets by the way, came from Cabinetry Classics in Orem! The only contractor that I had a bad experience with. Don't use them!!!! Beautiful Cabinets=Terrible Service!!!

This is looking toward the kitchen and great room and upstairs to the bonus room.

This is one thing that I was going to leave out, my jetted tub. I had thought of saving a little $ and just getting a regular tub but my sweet husband, who's usually a cheap-skate told me to go for it and now I can't wait till I can enjoy it.

We have come so far in just a few short months. This was the old house in April. It seems like it's taken a lifetime but it's all worth it.

We are so fortunate to build this great house in the most beautiful lot in the whole world. We couldn't have done it without all the help we got from all of our family and friends. We are incredibly lucky to have had helpers around to pitch in anytime we had a deadline to meet or just when we needed an extra hand. We have truly been blessed with the greatest family in the whole world! I can't begin to name all the people who have helped us along the way. Thank you to all of you have helped us along the way. Please come and make more memories with us as we enjoy our new home! Easton made sure he got his face in all the pictures. He is such a weirdo, but we love him! This is him and Murphy sitting by the front door (which I have to brag only cost me $150.00 for an 8ft by 4ft alder door!!!I'm such a wise shopper) with all the pumpkins that WE Grew in the Garden. Yes that's right we grew our own pumpkins!!

Our "UN"-Labor Day!

We did have one last outing before summer slipped away. We spent a whole day doing nothing to do with the house. That's right, all we did was play and rest. This was the first time we've had a chance to get to our camp spot at La Platta all year. So we lived it up while we could.

This is one of the kids' favorite pass times while the adults play horseshoes, the push the wagon down the (not too steep) hill from my parents camp.

We had a very serious tournament of horseshoes. Jason and I lost in the championship game to my two nephews. Tristan (9yrs old) and R.J. Yes we stunk it up, but it's a blast to play together.

Easton really enjoys nature, so much so that he wears it all over his face!

Bryn Leigh and her uncle KA, or as everyone else knows him by Karl.

Trent, Tristan and RJ being lazy in the hammock.

This is our little piece of paradise. I never realized how much I really LOVE it up there until I went a whole summer without enjoying it. Next year we won't miss out on spending our time up there.

So Long Summer!

This is my ode to the summer we missed.

Yes we missed summer, it just came and went without us taking advantage of it.

This makes me sad.

Oh, the summer we missed!

So long summer,

Farewell fun,

Bye Bye Baseball (OK so we did get a little baseball in)

See-ya later swimming pool.

Hope we can enjoy you more next time you come around,

Because you will come around just in the nick of time to save us from our long cold winter.

First Day of Preschool

Today was Easton's first day of preschool (I nearly cried when I left him)

He is going to New Beginnings Preschool, or as he calls it his "girlfriends house".

Easton has a small crush on Tenille Lawrence whose Mom runs the school.

He loves people and interacting with other kids so I'm sure he will love preschool.

But it still makes me a little sad.

I do however get to spend more alone time with Trent, while Easton's at school and Little Sister naps.

Happy Birthday To My #1 Boy

I can't believe that Trenton is 5yrs old today. It seems like just a short time ago we were sitting in LDS hospital with Papa Glen watching the summer olympics and the clock at the same time waiting for his arival.

Trent is such a compassionate little boy and always willing to help out his little brother and sister. I love that he are such a deep thinker, even when his thoughts lead to a "great idea" (code for trouble). I'm so happy for the times when the two of us just get to hang out, whether it's just staying in our jammies and watching cartoons or going to the store together. I love you so much Trent thanks for choosing to join our little family.

-Love Mom.

Mr. & Mrs.

K.C. and Alyssa will be married on Oct 1, 2009.
Congratulations K.C. and
Welcome to the family Alyssa (we really aren't as crazy as we seem)
You guys are so cute together, we are so happy for you!

So Close We Can Smell It!

Literally, we are getting so close to being done we can smell it in the air.

OK maybe that's just the smell of drywall dust and stucco plaster,

but even still it's almost done!

This is the bonus room, that little pink streak is Bryn Leigh. This is the first time she has had the chance to go up to the bonus room. She loved being able to run around.

These are the cubbies that Jason spent hours working on. He was up until midnight the night before he had to go out of town on business, finishing them. I'm so excited about how they turned out.

The Kitchen, looking from the great room.

Looking toward the great room from the kitchen. The light is so bright in there, thank heavens for whoever invented blinds!

This is our Master, we have such an awesome view out the back.

Here is our excavators, working hard to level the sand pile in the driveway!

(I'm not sure what's up with Trent's funny faces lately!)

Will You Go Out With Me?

I'm lonely tonight, Jason is out of town and I can't sleep without him next to me!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I not only miss him because he's out of town, I miss him because for the past few months we have been going 110 mph nonstop and haven't made time for each other.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I'm asking my hubby, will you go out with me? Not like the saying goes with Jr. high schoolers. But actually go out on a real date with your wife? What do you say, Thursday sound good?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love You!

One of those days.........Weeks.............Months!!!

Ever had one of those days?



When it seems like the whole world is pushing down on your shoulders?

That's how my week has been!

I would love to relax, maybe even get one of these.......


Or take a nap here.................





Maybe someday, when this is finished.....

Soon, I tell myself, Soon I will be relaxing in the comfort of my new home!
