more house pics......

We have moved!!!

Last friday (august12th we closed on our first home. WE are so very excited to have our own place where there will be no 6 month inspections or get told weekly to trim the grass and pull the weeds!!! So here are a few pictures as we get settled in. I have yet to take pictures of the second floor but here are some of the main level.

Elijah's birthday weekend

I can't believe Elijah is already one (April 27th) On the 29th Tayva had a dance competition up NOrth in Provo so we decided to have Elijah's birthday celebration up there so I would have a chance to get together with friends/family I have not seen in a while. One of my very good friends and her two girls came up with us and it was a lot of fun. We rented a mini van (we figured we needed a test drive in case we need one in the future!!!). The three girls sat in the back and made key chains and played their nintendo DS games. We celebrated Elijah's birthday at my friend Tonia's house. She made a lot of yummy food and a girl that I know in cedar made Elijah's adorable curious george cake. We had a lot of fun and it was so fun watching Elijah destroy his cake. Tayva did really well at her dance competition. Two of her dances came in 2nd place and I"m not sure about the third. We also got our pictures done at Kiddie Kandids. It was a very nice and much needed get away weekend. Oh and of course our mini vacation wasn't complete without eating at the cheesecake factory! :)

Too cute......Just had to share!!!

A couple weeks ago we were at my friends house and Elijah took a little tumble on their fire place mantle and had to have a few stitches. He was such a trooper. It didn't even phase him while the stitches were in and his eye was swollen. He was still his little curious self ALL over the place.

Here is Elijah at his first trip to the park. He loved the swings
