VACATION IS A COMING

So i cant believe that we have done it! Luke and I have booked a trip to Maui for 6 days and Honolulu for 2 1/2 days. We have been counting down the days and getting ready for the SUN! We have never been away without our kids for this long EVER! - though i have already had anxiety attacks about leaving my 2 little boys. It is so comforting though that we will be leaving them with Grandma and Grandpa Jolley. They are so willing to take them for us though Grandma has mentioned that she needs to make it a rule that they need to be much older. HAHA. We have had much advise from family members that have been to hawaii-- Bryce, Laurie, Casey and Kisha, and Casey(Park). It has gotten us so excited--- cant wait for the beach, sand, sunsets, and FOOD. But most of all i cant wait to be spend time with just me and my hubby after 8 years of marriage and just let go and relax.

Now that i have the internet again i hope to keep you posted more and more!

So I cant believe it I received another calling in the church. I am no longer in the nursery, so what next............ Relief Society 2nd Counselor. WoW i cant believe it especially at 27 years old, i should be to young right!!!

I am excited to serve with the ladies but at first it is a little scary and nerve racking.

Covered porch in the back. There is a patio door in the living room and a door in the master bedroom too.

So here is some more pictures of the house, now all finished. We have been in the house since April 15th and it is so great. I still cant stand to put anything up on the walls because i dont want to put holes in them, so yes it looks pretty bare still.

HURRAY! HURRAY!! THE RAIN HAS STOPPED TODAY, THE SUN IS SHINNING AND THE TEMPERATURE IS PERFECT TO GO AND PLAY OUTSIDE WITH ZAK. SINCE ALL WE HAVE AT OUR HOUSE FOR NOW IS DIRT, WE OCCASIONALLY COME TO MY MOM AND DADS SO ZAK CAN SWING ON THE SWING, AND JUMP ON THE TRAMP, EAT GOOSSBERRIES, AND HAVE GRASS TO THROW HIS SHOES OFF AND RUN.
TODAY I TOOK ZAKERY TO THE DITCH THAT I GREW UP SWIMMING IN WITH ALL THE NEIGHBOR KIDS. HE THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY NEAT, IT HAD A BRIDGE AND EVERYTHING. THOUGH LOOKING AT IT NOW I CANT BELIEVE MY MOM LET US SWIM IN IT. WOULD I LET ZAK...... NOT SURE I COULD. BUT I HAVE TOLD MYSELF MANY TIMES THAT I WOULD NOT BE THAT KIND OF MOM, AND NOT LET MY KIDS DO THE SAME THINGS I DID GROWING UP, JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS NASTY OR I THINK IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TO DANGEROUS...... I SURVIVED RIGHT!!!

ALSO ALONG THE DITCH THERE IS A WEED CALLED SNAKE GRASS. WELL WITH THIS SNAKE GRASS YOU CAN MAKE A WISTLE, SO I TAUGHT ZAK TODAY, I GOT THE BIGGEST GRIN. OF COURSE, ITS A LITTLE HARD TO MAKE THE WISTLE WORK HE WAS UNABLE TO DO IT, BUT PUTTING IT IN HIS MOUTH HE DOES HIS OWN LITTLE WISTLE. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. WE CAME IN GRANDMA'S HOUSE FOR A BIT TO REST AND WE KEPT HEARING A TAP ON THE WINDOW. HE PRETTY YELLOW BIRD KEPT TRYING TO FLY INTO THE WINDOW. ZAK HAD A KICK OUT OF THAT AND SAT AND WATCHED IT AWHILE. THE AMAZING PART IS THAT THE WINDOW IS PRETTY CLEAN!!!!....... HA HA HA SORRY MOM.

OK SO THE KITCHEN IS NOT QUITE FINISHED. I DO HAVE MORE THAN JUST THAT ONE PENDANT LIGHT NOW. OH AND DONT YOU JUST LOVE THIS COLOR. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!
