What we've been up to

A real Date. Dinner at the Garden with a movie (x-men) Thanks Max/Diana for watching C!

At temple square on our way to eat dinner.


Lots of yard sales! Corbin playing in the drawer of his new changing table. We usually don't get items that we can't fit in our car but I saw this and the lady who also wanted to buy it offered to drop it off at my house. How nice of her:)


Lots of yard work. I have waged war on the weeds in my grass and I am bound and determined to get my lawn back! Before we moved into our home no one had lived there for at least a year, thus the lawn was not watered at all last summer. I think with a little love I can get it back to life. Jeff on the other hand wants to till it all up and start over. Hopefully a little (or a lot) weed and feed will do the trick.


Yard work can be a challenge to get accomplished when C is around. I usually have to dig rocks/dirt out of his mouth every 5 min:)

A cute yard sale find for $1

It was a little bent out of shape and needed a couple of screws but after a little elbow grease and a new top cover it will work great! I had the table cloth on hand. It was one that our hamster, Dora, had eaten through many years ago. I thought about spray painting it but I like the vintage look and it was more work than I really needed to put in.


Lots of bubble baths

Still the massive hole in our living room. We've gotten the run around with our insurance company so hopefully it will be fixed soon!

Pic of when it all came crashing down:( From a leaky roof from all of the rain.

Cute baby can go up and down all the stairs in our house, can walk between furniture, get off our tall bed by himself, loves balls and throwing them, likes to splash in the water, loves running around in his walker, loves to snack, says mom and dad, can tell from anywhere in the house when dad is home because he can hear the garage door open, gets into all drawers (we are in the process of baby proofing those), loves to be in the car but not in his car seat, wakes up every morning at 6:30 without fail.

Also, I played Heidi while Jeff played Tim the Tool man Taylor as we hooked up the dishwasher ourselves on Saturday. Thanks to google, we watched a step by step how to and got it done. I am so excited to have my first real dishwasher since we have been married.

Shelley, thanks for the updates and photos! All I needed to do was review your blog to answer my recent questions. . .

I agree that most of your grass will return with some TLC, although it may take a year. That's still preferable to tilling it up and reseeding, I think. The areas that are poor could be raked vigorously, reseeded. and covered with some grass clippings, peat moss, or a little soil.

Happy June to you. Shelley, Jeff, and Corbin!

Love you,
Mom / Grandma Aleen
