We are Moving!
We bought a new home and are so excited to move into it! We are contemplating packing up little Lucy and taking her with us!
So the new home is TRASHED! However; it is FULL OF POTENTIAL!!! I'm so excited!
We have gutted it and are trying really hard to get it finished so that we can move in!
Let's just start with the outside! Yikes!!
Two toned, ugly shutters and door
Not only are they just UGLY... but they didn't even bother to tape them off when they painted.
The yard needs a lot of TLC. We are excited to get it looking great!
Pictures just don't do the "filthiness' justice. This place is dated and YUCKY and GROSS! The best word to describe it is.... WICKER (for those of you familiar with the term :)
It has an "interesting" selection of colors

Even Stockton is a little shocked by this GREEN!!! I think my favorite part is that they also painted the ceiling and trim green! This room gives me nightmares!
There must have been a bird loose in the house.... as you can see by the lovely POOP all over the house...
...as well as all the random bird feathers!
All of the carpet throughout the house looks like this!
When we pulled it up, there was soooo much dirt, the boys could have had their own sandbox!
The good news is.... The home is in a great area and it is BIG! I'm so excited to have an actual storage room and this one is huge!
It comes fully equipped with a fabulous swing set for the boys and they love the big backyard! (as you can see)
Thanks Dad for mowing our field, by the way! :)

Yay for DEMOLITION!!!
Jayna, her fiance, Chris and his friend Landon had a little too much fun destroying our house!!!
Bryan, watching the destruction!
Destroying the wall!
Jayna and Chris
I even joined in the fun! Nothing beats stress like kick boxing your house down!
It's HARD WORK, but somebody has to do it!Spencer is a crack up!
Words just can't express our thankfulness so far! We have had TONS of help! We have great friends and family! From babysitting, to sanding, to tearing out, to hauling, to mowing, to providing food, to painting.... we have had TONS AND TONS of service given to us and we love all of you!
Rhett and Tom taking care of business!
Carol, hauling out garbage! (so sweet)
Alex, tearing out tile
Even Shaden liked to help! His favorite part was vacuuming up the mess. Hmm.... following after Papa maybe?!!!
The boys have had a crazy life. We are thankful that they have been good and willing to get passed around and watch "GAGA" (aka Mickey Mouse) on a hard floor for many hours! :) Thanks to Mom, Jodie and Jayna for saving them!
WISH US LUCK!!!

My Dearest Jami! Loved your long comment! Yes, it's Riverton! We love it but it's a little overwhelming right now! :)
You are so cute! I miss you!
Yay!!! I'm really excited for you. That's a lot to take on. It totally made me think of an episode on HGTV. That channel makes me want to do all kinds of projects, but when it comes down to it, who has the time and money. I'm glad that you are getting a lot of help. Those paint colors are ridiculous and scary. Good luck and I can't wait to see the finished product, make sure to post!!!
Wow, that is an undertaking! So exciting though. I can't wait to see progress posts!! I'll be channeling good energy your way!
I am so excited for you guys! I can't wait to see how it turns out! I am so excited you get to have lots and lots of room. You have been so patient and have waited so long for this! Way to go Jaime
Jaime,
I love your long comments!!! Thanks for Maren's email. Just so you know mine is bandhwest@gmail.com
We will be in Fish Lake for Ashley's shower. I know I'm way sad. I would love to get together some time. Brent said that he saw you and I was so sad I missed you. Hope you are doing well. Keep up on the blog, I love reading about you and your cute family!!!
Hey!
Congrats to you! How fun to finally get your house you wanted! I hope it all goes well for you!
That is so exciting! It looks like a lot of work but you guys are so talented. I can't believe how gorgeous you made your house in West Jordan! We can't wait to see it when it's done.
What a fun and huge project for you guys. Hope everything works out and you are able to cover up some of those hideous color choices. You have impecable taste, so I have no doubt the house will look amazing when its finished. Best of luck to you guys!
P.S. Your little family is adorable and that Lucy is to die for. What a cutie.
soo amazingg! congrats!
