John "BRYANT"

My Mr.B is getting so big. I thought I would do a little update on him.

He absolutely adores his big brother.

He is a really fast runner.

He is a great climber!! My mom refers to my children as all types of animals, when it comes to climbing they are mountain goats, great climbers!!

The they are little mice because the LOVE cheese(this is what Bryant is eating in these photos).

They are little puppies. My mom said its like I have two puppy dogs always getting into trouble. And it's so true, where ever one is there is the other and they're usually doing something they shouldn't be!

He has a pretty good vocabulary! Words he can say are:

Dally (Dallin)

Mama

Da (dad)

Dah (done, while shaking both hands above his

head which is the actual sign for done)

Kee (kitty)

daa (dog)

baa (bath)

ca (car)

no no

He is doing well at copying lots of other words we say but those are some of the ones he really knows.

His favorite thing to do right now is hit. We are working on that but he is a tough kid and likes to hit for fun. He even likes to be hit.

Another one of his favorite things to do is take off his diaper. This is also another thing that him and his brother have been caught doing together. Silly boys. Maybe it's my own fault for the sunny backyard naked days?!?

(I will be posting Dallin's update later right now I need to go check on the boys, they're probably getting into trouble!!)

The end is in sight!!

Well at least we think it is in sight. I signed papers yesterday and hopefully at the beginning of the week next week we'll be in our house. I just keep praying for this whole thing to be over!!!!

Arizona Sun

This is how we decided to spend our afternoon.
Lots of sun, and no clothes!!!
Made for two very happy, free feeling boys,
and one very stressed but not at the moment mommy!!!

I kept my clothes on though.

Quick house update...

Well it has been head ache after head ache!!! We got to Arizona on the 23rd to sign the papers for our house on the 24th (our scheduled closing date). We didn't close on the 24th so they pushed it to the 6th of March. We didn't close then either, things are so behind at the banks right now that we just got pushed back from the normal stuff, then we have to update all of our documents since it has been over a month since we gave them the last documents and..., and not only have we not closed on the house plus all that other stuff but the bank in which we are getting the loan from is requiring a TON!!!!! of fixes before they will give us the loan. Luckily the bank in which we are buying the house from are being very nice and understanding. Unluckily we have to fix the problems out of our pocket because the bank we are buying it from won't pay to fix it. It's so frustrating because all these things they want us to fix are things we already planned on doing but on our own schedule and budget. So now we are being forced to fix these problems before we even get the loan to buy the house. I just keep thinking that at least I will move into a beautiful old "new" house. Some of the things that we are fixing are the bathrooms and the floors, two things that get me very excited, they are going to be so dang beautiful!!! You're all gonna wanna come live with me!!!!

Old becomes new...

I wanted to try my hand at recovering furniture. So I bought this really cool old wing back chair for $10 off craigslist. I went to a fabric store and bought some material that I liked and would go good with my color scheme for my new house for $30...

So $40 later I have.....

This beautiful chair.
Now I'm not saying it is perfect because it is not!!! Come on this was my first reupholstering project. But I must say I am well please. I must give my wonderful hubby a lot of credit too, he helped me all along the way, Thanks babe, I'm glad you're so handy in SO many ways;)!!!
