peek1

You may or may not remember that we have a bit of a project going on here this summer! I thought I would start to give a few little "peeks" into what we have been doing and where are progress it at! This picture is the outside of our house. You can see the scafolding is up because they are working on putting up the stucco for the outside. I am just giving an overall view today. I will continue to give "peeks" and focus on different areas of our house! YOu can see our new garage door is in. . . .and also get a bit of a peek at our new entryway. We have been working so hard this summer. David has done some of the work himself inorder to save a few $$. Do these pictures make you nervous at all? I don't know if you can see how dangerous it is up there! He has a ladder on top of the scafolding putting a few shingles up. I had to go up for just a few minutes to help ( and I was only standing on the scafolding. . . ) and I was scared to death! Granted, I REALLY don't like heights! Well, untill the next peek!! . . . .

happy birthday, mia!

Mia is turning 6 today!

We love having Mia in our family. She is full of life and so fun to have around. Here are some of her favorites right now. . . .

• Favorite icecream: rainbow sherbet (ok, so it isn't icecream, but that is what she said )
• Favorite food: Strawberries ( she asked for strawberry cake today. . . it has cut up strawberries on it. .. yummy!)
• Favorite things to do: Dance, Dance, Dance! She also likes to play with her friends, and jump on the trampoline
• Favorite sport: first she asked is dance was a sport. . . well I guess it kinda is, but she chose soccer. . . although she has never played (she gets to watch her sisters play!)
• Favorite color: pink and blue (she is a BYU fan through and through, so blue is definitely a favorite!)
• Favorite Book: Bisquit or Fancy Nancy
• Favorite place to eat: Pizza Pie Cafe ( we are headed there for her birthday dinner tonight! Her close seconds are Mc Donalds or Wendys. . . she's not very picky!) and the funny thing is, that she doesn't even eat the pizza. She like the pasta bar and salad bar!(where she loads up on cottage cheese, goldfish crackers, mandarin oranges and cheddar cheese :)
• Favorite Song: Baby (by Justin Beiber. . . ) but her real favorite is "I am a Child of God"

When asked what she wanted for her birthday ( and I asked her numerous times. . . ) she continued to respond " I don't care. .. surprise me!"

So let's hope she enjoys her gifts today :) cuz she didn't give me a single idea to work with !

Happy birthday, Mia! We love you SOOOO much!
