Big News

I have loved my house here on Daylily Circle in Farmington.  I've always felt so good about being here and making it my home. 
However, after experiencing a year as a Klein, I've realized that my life and family is changing and so are our needs and wants.  Eric and I have toyed around with the idea of moving, but we haven't been brave enough to do much about it.  Especially considering the fact that our house now is wonderful.  It's cute, new, in a great location, and surrounded by great people.
 
However, one day I woke up with a feelin', and decided to tell Eric about it.
It wasn't long after that we found a house in South Farmington that we love.
 
 
So here it is....My house for sale.  Kinda' hard seeing that sign.

And here's the new house.  We're super excited about it.  It has plenty of space and room to grow.  Lots of storage.  A wonderful yard for kids and a dog.  And it's in a location I have always hoped to live.
 
So, in tribute to my treasured house here on Daylily, here's a few pictures to remember it by:

Eric's office.  Used to be mine.  Notice the awesome aquarium.

Our family room.

I love this white kitchen.

I love this window.  I have looked through it at the night sky each night and thought of Michael.  Cheesy, I know, but I don't care.


Best room of the house. My room.



Abbey's darling yellow room.  Once was a guest bedroom.


My sweet Andi's room.

There are so many people in this neighborhood I love and will miss.  The Chandler family, our home teachers (Robert and Rand), my visiting teachers (Zenda and Leslie), all my young women and the leaders I've worked with, the Reynolds, Liz Robertson, the Leonards.  The list goes on and on.
This has been a place to grieve, a place of healing, and a place of adjustment.  I adore this place and will always be grateful to have had it.
 

March 2013

It has been an eventful time in our family.  Here's another quick post about the last month:


Abbey was selected to go to lunch with the mayor of Farmington!  She and another six or so kids were able to go.  So proud of Abbey!
I love this doggie!  It was on this day that he turned seven years old.  We went to the park to help celebrate, and he loved it.  It was one of the first good weather days after a very long winter.
 
Here is Ava intently watching the Disney on Ice show that we took them to.  It was Leslie, me, Abbey, Chloe, Andi, and Ava, and it was a PARTY.  :)  So much fun. 

Love this Abbey-girl.  She looks super grown up here.

For some reason I love this goofball. :)
 

I was so proud of Andi in this moment.  She was helping me fold laundry and she was doing a good job.  That's my girl.

Crazy lady.

I saw this picture and knew I had to save it.  This is totally how I feel about Harr-ster.  A good tribute to my dog on his 7th birthday.

Disney on Ice!!!  Princess style!


 

Ava (a.k.a Cinderella) watching the real Cinderella dance on ice!

Here's Andi as her Ariel...Perfect costume for Disney on Ice.

 

Eric, Dad, me, and Abbey went to a Utah basketball game!  Fun day with Abbey-girl.  (I swear I'm not trying to convert her to the red side, but seriously...would it be all that bad if she did?  Just sayin... :))
Nevertheless, it was a fun day with my dad.  Sure love going to games with him.
He and I went skiing this month too and I adored it.  I'm so proud of my dad...He's a great skiier!

This month's post is going to be quick.  Here a few pics to sum up the month:

Maelee got to stay with us for a whole day while her daddy Daniel had surgery on his wrist.  I took Maelee to playgroup with us and it just so happened to be the Valentine's party.  The ladies were taking pictures and so I had these two cute cousins get their picture taken together.  They turned out so so cute, if you ask me.  :)
They played really well together that day, and I'm so glad Andi has her cousin Maelee.

 
Eric spent quite a bit of time this month shopping around for a new aquarium.  He didn't get this one, but this is just one example of the many he looked at.  It was a fun thing learning about the fish world as I shopped with him.  :)

The night we put together Valentine's for the girls' classes.  Fun stuff.
 
Leslie and Scott invited us to "Classic Fun Center" for a family night one night.  The girls loved it!  And we were even able to get Andi and Abbey to skate.



Harry enjoying the winter scents. :)
I believe this picture was at Ron and Joann's house.  Andi and I visited them one Saturday before Ron left for Montana.  He made a recent move up there for work.

My sister Leslie is awesome.  She helped my dad make these for his boy scouts calling.  I'm so proud of them both.


I love my door and my wreath.
