Payton Millie - 4 Years 6 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - She is my snow bunny. During the summer time she always asks me when it is going to snow. She loves to eat snow (no matter the color). I have to continually remind her that you are only supposed to eat the clean white snow. She went sledding down a huge hill all by herself and didn't want to leave.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - Payton says the most genuine thought felt prayers every night. It melts my heart to hear her pray for "everyone who is cold and doesn't have a house to sleep in". She also prays to be "grateful for everything she has and not ask for more". And she doesn't ever end a prayer without saying "please bless Uncle Ryan's rooster to not attack grandpa". Funny girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - She has mastered her cartwheel and backwards somersault in her tumbling class and got her name up on the board. She was so excited.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - All of sudden she has HATED taking baths and she will never get near a shower. Bath time is fun at our house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - She is a great leader. She loves to help people and always organized the funnest play dates when her friends come over.</div>

Cooper Seth - 21 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - Now that he is talking it makes life so much better. Every time anybody gives Cooper something or does something for him he replies, "thank you bum bum". I have no idea where he picked that up from but it is so hilarious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - He is the definition of a momma's boy. Anytime I leave the room or Tyler is holding him he yells for me and won't stop until I pick him up. He loves to snuggle me and I love it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - In the car while he is reading a book he constantly yells my name until I turn my head and then he points at the book he is reading and laughs. He won't stop calling my name until I acknowledge him. It is adorable, but also super obnoxious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - Every single present Cooper opened for Christmas this year was the best present in the world. Even socks. He was so excited. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - He is a great sleeper, but a horrible eater. Hopefully he will start eating more soon. </div>

So my husband has a job where he can work from home. He just started this remote job about 8 months ago and recently I have been thinking of how to take advantage of this perk. Since he can work remotely I thought it might be fun to look into house sitting. They actually have legit websites where you can sign up to be a house/pet sitter for someone and stay for free in their home. I have always wanted to have the opportunity to travel more and really enjoy the city from a local perspective instead of a tourist. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I signed up for one of these websites and started applying to tons of places. I didn't really think we would get much opportunity because I have two kids, and one of them is 18 months old and kinda crazy. Not very many people feel comfortable letting strangers come and stay in their home, let alone ones with kids. But it actually worked out and our first adventure was back to Portland. I was super excited, but I had to really talk Tyler into it. He would prefer someplace warm and sunny. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Ty worked from the house during the day while I adventured with the kiddos and then we got to do some fun family adventures on the weekend and in the evenings. We went out to eat (a ton), took a day trip to Cannon Beach (my favorite), explored the woods, went to the zoo and awesome kids museum there, and explored the crazy weird city of Portland. It was a fun trip.</div>

This picture is horrible quality, but we got to watch 2 fire trucks put out a real fire (pretty small) in an apartment building across from the best ice cream shop in Portland called Salt & Straw. We had just gotten our ice cream and walked outside to eat it and got a front row seat to the fire trucks pulling up and hooking up the hoses. The kids were in awe. It was pretty fun to watch them experience this.</div>

Payton Millie - 4 Years 5 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - Tyler and I tried the Jimmy Kimmel challenge on Payton this year for Halloween and told her that we ate all of her candy. She was sad for about 5 seconds and then turned to me and said "It's okay mommy I got to eat lots of candy already from my Preschool Halloween party." Seriously! She is such a sweetheart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - Payton loves to collect things. Rocks, torn up pieces of paper, sticks she finds out on walks, even dead bugs. She doesn't take very good care of her toys, but for some reason these collections will always be kept safe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - She came home from preschool one day telling me that she wants to have daddy help her go and hunt a turkey so we can kill it and eat it for Thanksgiving. What?!? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - We went to the farm and I forgot to bring a quarter to get food to feed the goats. Payton is a problem solver. She really wanted to feed the goats so she went over to the food machine and started picking up all of the corn that had fallen on the ground. She did this for about 15 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - She is such a good helper around the house. The other night she volunteered to wash the dishes (and there were a lot). She worked hard until they were all done. I am so lucky to have her as my oldest.</div>

Cooper Seth - 19 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - This boy loves to play hard. I love that whenever he falls down and scrapes his knee he stands right back up and gets back to playing like it never even happened. He is a tough kid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - This boy is obsessed with cows. Whenever we go to the farm the cows are the first things that he visits. I have to tear him away from the fence to go visit the other animals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - He just started learning how to pose and smile for the camera and he loves to say "cheese" and make the cheesiest face ever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - This boy hangs out with older kids all the time and keeps up with them really well. He always wants to do whatever the big kids are doing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - He is just barely starting to call me "mama" and it melts my heart every time. He was pretty slowly to start using a lot of words, but he finally has turned a corner and he is becoming quite the talker. </div>

I can't believe summer is almost over. This summer was probably the busiest summer we have ever had. It was definitely fun-filled. From swimming, to hiking, to road tripping, to four wheeling, to escaping for a kidless weekend anniversary getaway, to hanging out and being lazy with the family. We did it all. The highlight was definitely having my sister and her family in town from Scotland for 2 months. </div>

We spent 4th of July weekend up in the mountains near Park City with Tyler's family. We went fishing and crawdad trapping on Strawberry Reservoir and had a quiet weekend up at a cabin. Fourth of July day we went to the Park City Parade and went back into Salt Lake for the evening festivities. It was a memorable weekend.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Payton Millie - 4 Years 2 Months</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - Payton loved swimming this summer and as long as she is in her floaty she has no fear. I tried to do my own version of swim lessons with her without her floaty on and people probably thought I was torturing my child. When she is very afraid of something there is no way to rationalize with her. So I gave up on that very quickly. She has made such progress this summer so I am happy with that. Next summer we will try again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - We have a dog in our neighborhood that Payton loves to take on walks. Even since she started doing that she asks me constantly for a pet. She found a snail in my moms garden and brought it home. She tortured the poor thing and spent hours in the backyard playing with it. But it was the highlight of her summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - Payton got to spend 2 months straight with her cousins from Scotland and loved every second of it. They both love super heroes and they persuaded Payton to step outside the box of princess land. Payton asked to be Iron Man for Halloween! It's fun to have a little change of scenery around here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - She has making friends down to a science. Everywhere we go she has a best friend within 5 minutes. One day she even gave me a 10 minute explanation of how she makes friends so fast. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - Payton mastered her balance bike this summer. She loves to take it down steep hills and is awesome at balancing. I think she is ready for a real bike.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cooper Seth - 16 Months</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 - He finally learned to walk last month and he couldn't be prouder. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 - He is seriously the biggest cheese ball. He laughs at everything. Even when he just sees people laughing. He laughs right along with us even though more than half the time he doesn't know why. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 - He takes the word HANGER to another level. If we don't get him a banana to eat within 10 minutes of waking up he gets MAD.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 - He loves to hide in our kitchen cupboards and play peek-a-boo. He also loves playing hide and go seek. Payton will hide and Cooper will be the first person to find her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 - This boy is all about sticks, rocks and dirt. He is not afraid to get dirty. We went camping and within minutes he was covered head to toe in dirt. </div>

Payton turned 4 this summer. We sure love this passionate, fun-loving, outgoing, nurturing, silly girl. We are so lucky to have her in our family.</div>

She is very easy to please when it comes to birthdays. Her only two requests were that she had donuts instead of cake and that she had a piñata. This was the first year that we had a birthday party with friends and she absolutely loved it. </div>

After her party, Tyler and I took her to see an outdoor performance in the park of The Little Mermaid. She loved it. I will never forget when she asked me to stand up when Ursula was singing and tell her to stop singing about mean things. She is so funny.</div>

I have always wanted to go to the Pacific Northwest, Oregon in particular. So for my 30th Birthday we spent a weekend in Portland and it was amazing. </div>

Top 3 reasons why we LOVED Portland:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - The food. Usually when I go on a trip I have to stay somewhere with a kitchen because of being Celiac I don't have many eating out options. We didn't use our kitchen once. Seriously. Almost every place we went had a gluten free option and I didn't get sick once from cross contamination. In addition to all the awesome GF options, the food in general is AMAZING. I wish I would have taken pictures of all the great food we ate. When we first got in we went to the downtown Farmer's Market. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - The people. They are seriously so nice. Before coming here I read a lot of blogs and even though everyone mentioned how nice the people are in their blogs you don't really believe it until you experience it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - The green. It is so green there. The pictures don't do it justice. We went to these amazing Japanese gardens that are 5 minutes from downtown. It's crazy how close this beauty is to the city. </div>

Almost every blog I read said to go to an ice cream place called Salt & Straw. We drove by the first two days we were there and the line was wrapped around the street. We came back on the last day and got lucky with no line. I think it was because it was a monday morning. It was AMAZING. Like seriously amazing. They had some really cool flavors. And we tried just about every flavor. Some of my favorite were: Pear & Blue Cheese, Honey Lavender, Strawberry Balsamic with Black Pepper. They sound weird but were so good. </div>

Payton Millie</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 Years</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - Payton had her first birthday party with friends this year. She was so excited to invite all of her friends and the day of the party she asked me every five minutes when it was going to be time to go the park for her party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - Payton has cycled through 3 different names she wants to be called now instead of Payton. First it was "Kissa" then "Kenna" and finally she has been set on "Lucy" for a week now. Everywhere we go she tells them that is her name. She is pretty adamant about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - She finally LOVES swimming. She will go in all by herself and swim around as long as she has a floaty. But seriously....that is a HUGE accomplishment for her. This summer will be a water filled summer for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - We took her to see The Little Mermaid musical on her birthday and during the Ursula song she told me to stand up and ask Ursula nicely to stop singing because she is singing mean things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - Payton is very lovable. People seem to gravitate towards her. She has an infectious energy and is very expressive. When we went to her doctor's checkup, he spent 10 extra minutes just talking to her and asked me if it was okay if he took her on a tour of the office. He wanted to show her off to his wife who was painting murals on the walls of the rooms. I love seeing her be LOVED by so many people.</div>

Cooper Seth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
14 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - He has learned how to blow kisses and wave and it is the most adorable thing ever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - He can't say very many words but he sure is good at communicating what he wants. All he needs is his finger to point and his cute grunting noise. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - He can stand up all by himself now without climbing up on anything. He has taken one step but I think it was on accident because it hasn't happened in a few days. But he loves to walk everywhere as long as he is holding on to my finger. Tyler thinks he won't walk until he is 16 months old, but I'm pretty sure it will be sooner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - This boy is SILLY. He loves to laugh and make people laugh (especially Payton). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Payton Millie</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 Years 10 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - This girl LOVES to take pictures. I always seem to "lose" my phone only to find it later with a ton of random new photos on it. We went to the Tulip Festival and she took so many pictures. I think I'm going to get her a small little digital camera for her birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2- We bought Payton a balance bike for her for Christmas in 2014. She didn't really take to it and for al long time only wanted to ride her scooter around, but this month she has risen her bike almost every sunny day we have had. She is getting so fast and she lifts both feet up and can balance really well. This seriously was the best invention ever. No more training wheels fiasco....well hopefully. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - I've got to be really careful with what songs are on the radio when we are driving in the car because she remembers EVERY word of the songs she hears. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - Payton loves to draw pictures and she insists on using a pen. Not crayons, not colored pencils but a pen. She draws the most intricate pictures and she spends about 20 minutes on one picture. She is definitely a perfectionist. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - As of late Payton has started eating really really well. She will choose a bowl of carrots over a fruit snack. What?!? She love to go over and "help" grandma with her garden. More like eat grandma's garden. She will pull out carrots and radishes and wipe them off so she can eat them right there. She also pulls off leaves of her lettuce plants and just eats it plain. She is my little vegetarian. Cooper on the other hand.....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cooper Seth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
12 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - This boy can EAT. But I can count on maybe two hands the things he will eat. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, toast, cheese, yogurt, peas, raspberries, blackberries, smoothies and chex cereal. I sneak veggies in anything I can. I even sneak avocados into his yogurt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - Cooper has 4 teeth all the way in and 3 more on their way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - He loves to wave, clap his hands, splash in the tub, dance and point at EVERYTHING. Anytime he gets upset or sad I know that as long as I start singing the wheels on the bus everything will be okay. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - I can finally say confidently that he sleeps through the night. It was 11 hard months of not sleeping, but now he sleeps like a champ. He take two really good naps during the day and sleeps from 7:30-7:30 or 8. It is glorious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - While driving in the car Payton and Cooper think it is hilarious to scream back and forth at each other. Unfortunately now Cooper does it randomly by himself. Specifically at church. During sacrament. It's awesome. </div>

You don't need to add the legs to the open storage bench but we have an HVAC vent underneath right where we want it so we needed to raise it. Ty simply marked and screwed each leg on the base of the IKEA unit.</div>

While he was doing that I started painting the wall white (with leftover paint that was left in our basement) where we were planning on installing the wood trim.</div>

The only other materials you need to buy are white wood trim. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="border: 0px; color: #2f2f2f; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">17 feet of 4″ Trim – They sell this in 18 ft Length for under $15 (The lengths I used were: 2 lengths at 5 feet, 1 length at 40″ & 1 length at 3 feet for a total of just under 17′; they will cut these for you if you have your exact measurements – you will have to take into account what height you want your shelf and what you have or will be using for baseboard)</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #2f2f2f; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3 feet of 6″ Trim – This is the piece that the hooks go on so I decided to use a wider trim. You could use the 4″ trim if you’d like, or go even bigger.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #2f2f2f; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Total Cost: $162</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #2f2f2f; font-family: inherit;">My husband started by using finishing nails to secure the trim but it wasn't secure enough for our liking so he used drywall screws which we will have to cover and paint (this has been finished for 2 months and I have yet to cover and finish painting the screws and trim which will honestly take 20 minutes max)</span></div>

We have lived in our house now for a month and a half and just barely finished putting decorations up in one of the 4 rooms we need to decorate. It is far from ready. This time around I plan to take my time and not rush getting it looking exactly the way I want it to. It takes time and I'm okay with taking it. Here are a few pictures of what it looks like now.</div>

P<span style="text-align: center;">.S. This is my all time favorite rug with little kids. Not only is it dark and hides stains well but it is SO soft. We spend so much time on this rug. Best money I have ever spent on a rug. I got it at Rugs USA and I got it 80% off. </span><br />

Tyler and I did do one project right away a few weeks after we moved in. It was a super easy and fun project to do together that only took 3-4 hours to complete and it cost under $150. All we have left to do is paint the wood trim to match the shelf and bench color. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Payton Millie</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 Years 9 Months</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 - Payton has been learning letters in preschool but it seems like the past month she recognizes them everywhere. She points out all kinds of letters while we are reading or out and about and she even knows if they are uppercase or lowercase.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 - We were taking Tyler to the airport the other night for a work trip and Payton was really sad that he was leaving. She has this little dog named Maddy that she carries around everywhere and she told her dad that she didn't want him to be lonely while he was gone so she wanted him to take Maddy with him to keep him company. She said that she was going to miss Maddy but that "daddy needs her more then she does". It was the sweetest thing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 - Payton gave her first talk in Primary this week and she did so well. She was so proud of herself and I was pretty proud of her too. Everyone in primary loves her. She loves to talk and answer questions and tell stories. I wonder how much dirty laundry of ours she airs to her class. Yikes... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 - Payton has always loved princesses, but lately she has taken a special interest in super heroes. I'm all about it. She always wants me to tie a towel around her neck for her super cape and she rounds around the house "saving the day".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 - All of a sudden Payton can draw a picture and I can actually tell what it is without her explaining. They are really good. I have a feeling she is going to be very artistic.</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cooper Seth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
11 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - This month he finally mastered drinking out of a sippy cup. Thank heavens. He officially stopped nursing this month on his own and loves water. Even over juice. No complaining here. Payton was the opposite. I had to mix a little juice with her water to get her to drink enough water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - This kid finally loves to explore. For the past two months between teething and countless bugs he has been attached to my hip, but now he is anything but that. He loves to crawl, pull himself up on things and cruise around furniture. He even can walk while pushing his little walk toy. Poor kid spends most of his time following us around the house into one room just for us to leave to another room right when he catches up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - This boy loves to babble. He doesn't really say any distinct words yet, but he likes to mimic what we say. The other day I got him to roar like a lion. It was so cute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - He loves balls. He just learned how to throw the ball. After every time he throws it he gets up on his knees and holds his hand up in the air like he is so proud. It is my favorite thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - Cooper is obsessed with eating. But unfortunately only a select few things: yogurt, anything with bread (toast, pb&j sandwiches, grilled cheese), cheese, peas, raspberries, blackberries, oatmeal and buckwheat cereal, smoothies (I sneak in all the veggies I can in there), chex cereal and those little dried yogurt snacks. He eats every hour it seems.</div>

Payton Millie - 3 Years 8 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - Payton has SUCH a good memory. A year ago Tyler took her to Disney on Ice and Payton was so excited the whole time to see Elsa and Anna. She kept asking Tyler when they were going to come out. They never did and to say she was devastated is an understatement. Tyler told her that they couldn't come that night because they were sick. Lol. So this year they have Frozen on Ice and Tyler told Payton they were going to go again. Payton responded by asking "Are Elsa and Anna going to be sick or will they be there this time?" Are you kidding? Not only was it a year ago but she was 2 then! How does she remember that?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - The past month Payton has made a decision to test out the waters of defiance. She has always been a very obedient girl (I got really lucky with her being my first and am in a rude awakening with the rest of my kids). Although the past month it is like she has flipped a switch. Maybe it is all the moving we have been doing and maybe it is just a phase (I really really hope so), but she says NO to everything. I swear I hear the phrase "Mommy I want to make a bad choice right now" at least 20 times a day. It is definitely testing my patience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - Every time we get in the car to go somewhere Payton has her hands full of about 5 or more toys that she wants to bring with her. It is such a process to get her down to just 2. I feel like my car is a breeding zone for toys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - Payton is so sweet. Cooper was crying the other night while I was making dinner and after only a few minutes she went over to him and started singing him a song she made up on the spot about how she loves him and why he shouldn't cry anymore. She kept hugging him and giving him kisses. It melted my heart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - Everything turns into a pretend character that she plays pretend with. Her chore in our house is to put the silverware away from the dishwasher and she used about 10 different knives/forks/spoons and had a whole conversation with them and was playing some sort of princess scenario with them. Everything these days is princess. I can't wait for Cooper to throw some less girly things in the mix at our house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cooper Seth - 10 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1- We finally found Cooper's ticklish spot. If you tickle him right on his lower tummy around his sides he starts giggling like crazy and squirming. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - He loves his thumb a little too much. A few months ago I remember whenever I would bring him into his room from nap time or bed time the thumb would automatically go in his mouth. That doesn't happen anymore because it is ALWAYS in his mouth. Even in between shoving food into his mouth. It is going to be a serious problem when he gets older...but right now I don't care because it is so dang cute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - He has become a MOMMA's boy for sure. Whenever I am not home and Tyler is watching the kids Tyler says that he is so happy and crawls around and plays, but the second I get home and he hears my voice he starts crying and crawls over to my feet for me to pick him up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - His two new skills that he is really proud of is clapping and pointing. Sometimes I have no idea what he is pointing at but he will sit there and point and babble to himself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - He still wears 3-6 month shoes and his feet don't seem to be growing anytime soon. </div>

If you have been reading my blog for a while you know that we bought a fixer upper almost 3 years ago. We put a lot of love into it and it was such a cool experience, but we tried to do it too fast and it honestly just wore us out. All of our extra time and money was spent working on a project on our house. We learned a lot and loved the experience, but we soon realized we didn't want to ever buy a fixer upper again (at least not one that we would live in). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after moving for Tyler's job relocation and renting a basement apartment for a year and a half we finally found a location that we loved and knew we would be in for 5-10 years. We went the new construction route because it was the complete opposite of a fixer upper. We apparently only go for the two extremes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now being a little over two weeks from our expected close date we have learned a lot from this experience. There are pros and cons, but for us we would choose this process again in an instant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pro #1: For starters, when you build your own home <b>it's yours. </b>No one else has lived in it. You don't have to spend the first few days deep cleaning it because it is brand spanking new. After moving 6 times in the last 6 years that is definitely something that I will not miss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pro #2: You get to choose all of the colors, finishes, light fixtures, where to put the lights, where to put the outlets (that one surprised me), countertops, cabinets, etc. Going to the design center meeting to choose everything was really overwhelming, but super fun. Luckily Tyler and I have very similar taste. The hard part is that you only see a small sample and it is hard to envision the final product and I was constantly second guessing my choices. Now that we are seeing it come all together I am so happy about our choices. We get it to look exactly how we want it to without having to do any of the work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pro #3: Before they drywalled our house we were able to go around and take pictures of where all the plumbing ran and where the major electrical wires are and other things that will be helpful later on if there are issues. When you buy a home that is already built you don't have the opportunity to do that.<br />
<br />
Pro #4: We have the entire basement to finish and we even get to create our own floorpan (mostly). We are really excited to use our hands and creativity to make it our own space. We actually have already planned out the whole floorpan. It might take us a while to finish it though. This time we plan to take our time and not overdo ourselves like we did with our last house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there are definitely cons that we have experienced with this new construction home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Con #1: It is really hard to gauge the final cost of the home before you put an offer and sign the contract. We couldn't go in and meet with the design team until a few weeks after the contract was signed. That made Tyler and I really uneasy because we had to put a deposit down in order to reserve the lot that we wanted. We were able to have the seller put something in the contract saying that if we weren't able to afford all the upgrades that we wanted we could back out after the design meeting without losing our earnest money. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The approach we took at the design center was to make a list of all the MUST HAVES, a list of all the WANT TO HAVE, and then a list of IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE. When we first went through the design center we combined all 3 lists and chose it all. Then after seeing the price we chiseled down the list to fit our budget. Luckily all of our must haves made the cut. But man do they mark up all the upgrades. There are a few things that were on our must have list that we didn't get but we decided to just have them put in the standard and then we will purchase it on our own for a third of the cost (like pendant lights and the chandelier in the kitchen).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Con #2: When you build a new home, you won't lock in your interest rate until it's almost complete. That means the interest rate (and consequently your payment amount) could change from what the estimate was when you sign the contract.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Con #3: There are definitely things that go wrong in the construction process. There were several scares for our house, but all the kinks were worked out in the end and we are loving our house. We can't wait to move in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some progress pictures: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kitchen - we are waiting on the backsplash, appliances, the faucet for the sink, door handle for the pantry and the pendant lights over the island (which will be changed out anyway because they are hideous).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We chose a different countertop for the bathrooms mainly because the quartz in the kitchen was so dang pricey and we didn't need it in the bathrooms. This is a granite countertop.</div>

We want to tile the master bath/shower up to the ceiling but they charged more than double so we figured we would get this cheaper/easy to clean eco-stone surround and then install the tile later ourselves and save lots of money. That way we can afford some of the more important upgrades like these beautiful kitchen countertops and all the flooring. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Payton Millie</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 Years 7 Months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 - Payton gave up naps when she turned 2. It was a few weeks of hit or miss napping, but within a month she gave them up completely. The past 2 months Payton has been sick 3 times and has spent a lot of the past two months like the picture above (which NEVER happens). She also takes a good 2-3 hour nap every day. It breaks my heart to see her so sick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - She started primary this month as a sunbeam and after her first day her teacher told me that she volunteered to give a prayer in sharing time and do a lesson for the next week even though her class obviously wasn't assigned. Haha....that's my daughter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - Payton absolutely LOVES the snow. Last year it only snowed twice and hardly stuck, so this year she is in heaven. She spends more time eating the snow then playing in it. I actually had to tell her 3 times not to eat the snow off the bottom of her shoes. Crazy girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - Whenever Cooper starts crying Payton all on her own starts singing him a song and he immediately stops crying. It is the cutest thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

5 - I probably sound like a horrible mom but Payton has absolutely NO pain tolerance. She full on cries every time I brush her hair and every time she falls down. It has been trying my patience the past few weeks because she has been full on sick and if she full on cries when I brush her hair you can only imagine her when she is in a lot of pain and feeling miserable. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1 - We officially have a crawler. And he is so proud of himself. I forgot how tiring it is to have a mobile baby. I am really glad he didn't start crawling at 6 months like Payton did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - Whenever someone laughs and Cooper is in the room he does this little fake laugh right after. It is my favorite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 - We thought that he finally slept through the night but apparently he was just teasing us. I feel like we have a newborn again (for about a month now). I am really hoping it is the fact that he has been sick and he is in a new room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 - Whenever I start walking Cooper down to his room for his nap he immediately puts his little thumb in his mouth and snuggles up to my chest. I seriously love it. Payton never snuggled as a baby so I am enjoying it while it lasts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 - If I am feeding Cooper something with a spoon he insists on grabbing the spoon and feeding himself. If I take it away from him he FREAKS.</div>

This year Christmas was magical. It was snowy and white and absolutely wonderful. Christmas with kids is so much better than Christmas as a kid. I love how excited Payton gets about the little things. And I really love being able to start some fun traditions with my own family. </div>

This year we spent Christmas at my parents house. We moved out of our little apartment at the end of November and we have just about 3 weeks left here at my parents until our house is done. </div>

Tyler's work Christmas parties are always so much fun. They always go over the top. This year was so much better than last year. The theme was Casino Royale. They had tons of blackjack and roulette and poker tables set up to play all night. Tyler and I turned our $1000 into $10,000 by the end of the night. Too bad it wasn't real money. But it did get us over 100 raffle tickets to win a tv and getaway somewhere fun. Too bad we didn't win. </div>

A local dance company put on a production of Nutcracker close to our house and I took Payton. She loved it so much I think we will make it a tradition for the girls every year. On the way home she told me that when Cooper gets older and can walk and dance she wants him to be her prince to dance with her. </div>

We are at it again. It has become an annual thing around here. We bought a new home and plan to stay put for a while. We have been renting the past year to be able to find a place that we really like that will last us a long time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We bought a new construction home and it is such a different experience than our Layton fixer-upper. After all the sweat equity we put into that home it is really nice to be able to choose what we want our new home to look like without any work on our part. I love it. Right now it is completely framed, plumbed, the electricity is done, the roof is on, windows framed and the HVAC is done. Soon they will start drywalling. I probably drive by it once a day. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These pictures were taken before the framing and roof was done.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Payton Millie</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 Years 5 Months</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 - Payton has been asking me a lot of questions about Heavenly Father and heaven. It is really fun to teach her what I believe and share my testimony with her. We were driving to preschool one day and she said "Mommy I think Heavenly Father is magic because he knows how to turn the sky on and off." I would have to agree with her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 - Payton LOVES to jump. She throws all of the pillows off our couch and runs on the couch and jumps off onto the pillows. Since we are moving we have boxes stacked up high in almost every room. She has been climbing up to the top and jumping off onto a beanbag for hours on end. It's been great entertainment for her while we are busy packing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 - Payton has made it her job to entertain Cooper and I love it. She loves to be silly and make him laugh. Nothing is better then watching them interact with each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 - She has always been amazing at bedtime and going to bed quickly without our help, but she is definitely pushing her limits lately. She probably comes out 10 times once we have put her to bed asking for water, another hug and kiss, saying she has a scratch and needs a bandaid, has to go to the bathroom, etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 - She has learned to write her name and is getting really good at it. The only letter she needs help with is the "y".</div>
<br />

Cooper Seth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7 Months</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 - Cooper is mobile now. He isn't quite crawling but he army crawls on his elbows and stomach. He can manage to get anywhere. Perfect timing while we are packing...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 - Cooper has cut his first tooth and he loves to chew on EVERYTHING.</div>

3 - He loves to play with anything that isn't one of his toys. His sisters toys, bowls, hangers, boxes, empty plastic water bottles, even trash. But the second I put one of his toys in front of him (even a new one he hasn't seen in a while) he doesn't touch it. </div>

4 - He loves to sleep all cuddled up in a blanket. He wraps it all the way around him while he is napping. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 - We have discovered that he does not sleep well unless he is in his own crib. We had a couple of nights away from home this month and he woke up 3-4 times when usually he sleeps through the night. When he is in his crib though he sleeps so well!</div>
