Our new house!

So Kyle and I bought our first house!! Here she is... we love it and it has an unfinished basement, so we have room to grow as needed. Right now its kind of a mess, with boxes everywhere, I've decided that we have waaayyy too much stuff. This is our back yard, one of the reasons we chose this house was because the yard is huge! almost a 1/2 acre, we will see if we still like it after we have to mow it a few times... Another picture of our backyard. the first one was straight out our door, this is to the right and the next is to the left. This is my garden... hopefully something grows. I do not have the best track record for keeping plants alive. Kyle keeps teasing me about "growing a garden" but I am determined. Right now I have peas planted... wish me luck! Notice the netting, a neighborhood cat was trying to use it as his litter box, so I covered it but it also works well for keeping my kids out of too, although they still managed to get some rocks in and they are constantly trying to put sticks in it...
We have been doing lots of projects around the house just trying to make it feel like ours. We replaced an old gold fan with this chandelier, that I love and we have been painting, painting, painting. Did I mention we've been painting!
So when we decided to paint the ENTIRE house we thought "no big deal just paint," well its a little more involved then I realized and while I love the new colors, if I ever see a paint brush again it will be too soon! Once I get more organized I will post more pics of all of our projects!

Richards Baby Blessing

For those of you who know my little brother, him and his wife just had their first baby, they named him Cache. All the little kids call him Cache Baby. He is the cutest thing, and he loves me the most (no matter what "others" may say). They had his blessing this past week and most of the family was able to make it. We were just missing part of the Walker crew, so add about four more people to the top picture and you would have the whole Wilson family! Did I mention that their Sacrament meeting started at 8:30!
I think Cache makes grand baby #25 for my Mom and Dad.

Such a cute little family!


Kyle + my brothers and brother in law =
well... this!

They just fuel each others fire and they are always up to some kind of mischief. We went to dinner the night before with all the family and they had the waiter send a fake bill to my dad for about $900, you should have seen my dads reaction... those boys!
