isabel's elephant

I had to put her elephant at an angle to make it fit in the scanner. I came out of my room from feeding Lincoln and Isabel said she was making an elephant. She asked me to cut out the circle for her. But she did all the rest of the cutting and taping. I thought this was a fun idea.

hair cut number TWO

I was a little nervous cutting Isabel's hair so short, but that's what she wanted. This is actually the second time I've ever cut hair before. The first time was Isabel's first hair cut that was just a trim. My mom has cut my hair for me my whole life, so I just did what she did.

lincoln photos

My mom took these photos of Lincoln when we were in Provo. That's the biggest smile we've ever captured on film!

an afternoon at the river

I really just don't take a lot of photos. On Saturday we went to the bridges where the big and little arkansas rivers converge. They have some monuments there and a path by the river that leads over to a playground. So, we explored, hiked, pic-nic-ed and played on the playground. Lincoln was asleep in his car seat when we took pictures, so I put one of him that I took this morning. He is getting big!

easter eggs

So, I was kind of forgetting about Easter this year. (Which is funny because it's totally my favorite holiday, but it just sneaks up on you.) We dyed easter eggs and had a lot of fun!! We haven't had any easter egg hunts yet, but we'll do them every day next week. The kids just LOVE hunting for eggs.

link

well, i guess they removed the house from the listing since it is under contract. here is a link that should work....but you have to scroll down the left side of the page and click on the MLS# next to the price 148,900. it will give detailed info about the property and more pictures down below.

under contract

The sale of our home in Utah is complete and after much consideration, we have decided to buy a house out here in Kansas. After doing a lot of research, we decided to get a house in a city south of Wichita called Derby. It's totally my dream house. (Just like my last house...which I still miss). It is scheduled to close on April 30th. We are all so thrilled at the thought of getting our stuff back so soon and finally being able to settle in.

I think our favorite things about the house is that it's at the end of a cul-de-sac in a very nice neighborhood, the yard is about 4 times bigger than our last yard, and the master bathroom has a jetted whirlpool tub. Here is a link if you want to see it.

The only downside is that homes in Derby are more expensive than in other areas (but I think the neighborhoods really are the best....). The listing price may not look real high, especially compared to Utah, but we will pay two and a half times more taxes.

So, that's what's going on with us. Prepare yourselves for another address change. yipeeeeee!
