The progression of our tiny house...

By far, our favorite part of our house is the yard. A lot of people don't know what is hiding in the back, but here's what it looked like when we first saw it. We came down to go to church and see if we liked the ward. This was April, 2003. I think they liked it, too!

One year later, Jay had transformed the yard into this:

Stay tuned for more recent pictures - we plan on going all crazy again this year, so we'll keep you updated.

Now for the house....

I know it doesn't look done yet, but it used to be worse!!

Not quite finished, but SO much better!!!

Thanksgiving

For those of you who have religiously checked my blog, hoping and praying for an update, today will be a shock and maybe a miracle!

Here are some pictures of Thanksgiving with Mom this year.

Mom set a beautiful table for us!

Granny with the boys

Thanksgiving treat - Madagascar 2

Thanks for having us, Mom! We had a lot of fun!

Auntie Rena

Many thanks to my sweet sister, Rebekah, for coming to visit us (and enduring the usual photo session).
She looks more like my son, Zach, than I do! (he's in the upper left hand corner)

This is the perfect example of how much fun she is. This is a picture of her condo with notes... she's so fun and thoughtful. When I grow up, I want to be as thoughtful and creative as she is!!

I LOVE YOU, RENA!!!!

Fun in the snow

We've had tons of snow this year - it's been really fun for the boys!
