*Nutcracker*
On saturday we had two ballet recitals. Kayden was in the afternoon performance, and Kinady was in the evening. Cody was such a good sport! He didn't complain at all about getting to watch the Nutcracker twice. As for me, I was exahusted! It's so much work to prepare the girls to be onstage. I seriously will never know how moms accomplish everything when they have more than two children?.. The girls were awesome. Their was one little boy in the other class that curled up in a ball on the floor and cried the whole time. I felt soooo bad for the little guy. The Nutcracker made the Christmas spirit so much better and now were just waiting on a little snow!

Our little cupcake is 3

Kinady turned 3 on Saint Patricks day. It has snowed and snowed so we haven't been able to get her pictures done outside. Finally I caved and decided to have the photoshoot inside. They turned out great! I'm usually not a big fan of studios but they couldn't have turned out any better. Kinady picked out most of her clothes and I try not to discourage her for wanting to wear tutu's and pink everywhere she goes. I put on her little white leggings and she picked out the rest. As we were leaving the house I noticed all the bright colors and grabbed a pink headband.

The rest of the day Kinady and I went shopping in Salt Lake. Her little personality is changing so much and she really enjoys spending all of her time with mommy. We had such a fun girls day. Cody and Kayden spent the day working on the yard and then went to a movie.

Finally Finished

We started breaking ground in May 2010

The basement foundation filled up with water from the water table.

It took us a long time to get where we are today. We had many diversions along the way. The house took us about 9 months from beginning to end. I'm so grateful for all the friends and family who helped us along the way. I had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Sometimes it was a bit overwhelming and there were so many decisions to be made. 6 bedrooms, 3 baths, custom Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Room, Family Room, Laundry Room, and a million closets later we are FINALLY FINISHED.

Unfinished Kitchen

 

Wheeler Farm

Saturday we went down to Wheeler Farm for family pics. The girls really enjoyed seeing the ducks, turkeys, pigs, and cows.

On our way home we stopped in Park City for lunch at Szechwan. I really love living so close to Park City, it has such fun stores, restaurants, and scenery.

Preschool

Kayden is in Preschool! The bus picks her up every morning at the new house. She loves her new teacher and friends.

I went to pick her up one day from school cause we were running down to provo and she got so mad at me because she didn't get to ride the bus. Ha Ha... I told her when she was older she would be begging me to not make her ride the school bus :)

Fish Pond

Me, Kayden, and Kinady went to the fish pond at the Crossings to see if there were any fish. We didn't find a single fish so we just played around. The girls were having such a great time because the sun was finally out.
