Getting Started on the House

 I usually only make it over to the house on the weekends it seems and I get excited every time. I didn't get any pictures in between the "dig" weekend and when the basement walls were poured.


  It looks odd right now because it is out of the ground. We have a walk out basement so the basement on the front side of the house will be filled in around and be underground but not on the back side of the house. Somehow because we had so much to fill in on the front and side of the house, we ended up with two garages, one on top of the other. It was actually cheaper to have a garage there than it was to buy the gravel or dirt or whatever to fill in the hole. Crazy. I think it is pretty cool though.

One garage enters from the front of the house and the other enters from the side. In this picture I am standing at the entrance to the top garage looking down on the other garage. A great big cement slab will be brought in and set on top of this garage below.

The gravel here is the driveway and to the right of it will be filled in with dirt.

North Side



 This is the back side of the house where the walk out patio will be off the basement. There will be a deck/ patio above it that will be off of our kitchen/nook.

Me, Reece, and Cael aren't much help but we like to hang out. Me and Reece rode with Casey in the Kenworth to get a load of gravel while Cael stayed at the house with grandpa.

General Conference, Baptism, and Easter

Casey's family celebrated Easter the weekend before with General Conference because it was easier to get a big family together. The kids (and Casey) had an Easter egg hunt indoors because it was rainy and windy outside. The kids also played Easter Bingo and got prizes.



Cael got a little chick Easter egg with money for his piggy bank from Grandma Becky. We had dinner with the Wade family on Easter Sunday. Grandma Tami bought Cael some cute summer clothes.

Easter weekend my nephew Tanner was baptised and then we had lunch at his house afterwards. My Uncle Vance from the Wade family is their bishop so it was fun to have a lot of family around. Tanner's older brother Cameron, who got baptised two years ago, spoke at a family gathering about being baptised and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and it was really sweet.
We are so proud of them. They are such good kids.


I love my boys!


  Cael looked so cute dressed up like daddy in his khaki pants and button up shirt.
