WE MOVED!!

Finally the post you've all been waiting for!! We moved!......like 6 blocks but we moved!!! And yes my friends we are still in Provo....NO THIS IS NOT OUR PERMANENT LIVING SITUATION-just thought I'd be clear. As we sure do love Utah we are anxious to be gone too.
A few months ago we figured why pay rent when we could own and pay LESS per month! The first day we started looking we found this cute duplex that I fell in love with!
So without further ado- from this:



to this:





Best Part BY FAR:



then Cayling helped with the interior because lets be honest, I can cook, but decorating.....not my best quality-in fact I have NO talent when it comes to putting things together. I found a lady on KSL ( kinda like craigslist) that was selling all the decorations from a model home. It was the style I was looking for so Katie and I loaded up the babies and went for an hour and a half roadtrip. That is were I got most of my decorations and for a good price:)

We have awesome downstairs neighbors that cook for US


Also, we had a bit of drama moving in...and by a bit I mean I thought I was going to be beat up....
If your hubby is a lawyer or a hit man I might have some business for him to take care of :)

Oh and we have a third bedroom+bath so we would love love for everyone to come stay!!! I'll even brush my hair when you come:)

"Matson should I bring warm clothes??"

Last weekend Joseph and Matson had a "business meeting" up in Wyoming. We were able to stay at one of his business partners "cabin" which we were super excited about! Glad to get away for a weekend and spend some time with family and friends. We packed up all our stuff and I called Matson to see if I should bring warm clothes. He said yeah it was cold up there so bring a coat. so I packed Bree all of her winter stuff and me some sweats and heavy coat.
We finally arrived to a snow packed cabin when I realized we had not arrived......we had to take a snow cat up to our "cabin."


Bree loved it! Even though it was really loud. About 10min later, after passing 3 other "cabins" we had arrived!!! Now let me just tell you when I walked in I felt like I was in a hotel.....I WAS HUGE!! It was three stories and each familly had their own bedroom and bathroom! These weren't like small rooms with old ghetto tubs in them-they were bigger then our bedroom/bathroom at home! I was in love! Here I am expecting a "cabin" to be like old and creaky and smelly like fire and mice running around keeping me awake at night as I sleep in a sleeping bag on the cold stone floor. What do I get a fabulous weekend get away!.....at least I thought.......


Come to find out the heating system in the "cabin" was busted......I guess the heat is supposed to come up through the floors (pretty cool) but for some reason it was broken......the boys tried and tired to fix it

But with no luck we went to bed with the "cabin" being 32 degrees!!! I'll be honest this would have kinda been fun because I am expecting to stay in a real cabin and kinda camp for the weekend and it would have been fun to snuggle to stay warm and wake up warm with a cold nose. BUT I HAVE A CHILD!! AND SHE WAS FREEZING!! I layered everything I had on her but I didn't bring her a face mask!! Poor girl! So we built fires and just put the babies in front of them all day. We all just snuggled to stay warm and ended up having a wonderful COLD time! Check out the oil.....yep it was cold!!



Oh and there were these freaking Indians all over the house. Bree was freaked out. So was I!! How would you like waking up with Pocahontas staring at you??? Freaking

Here's a quick video of Joseph making Bree feel better and warmer.


Good times! Fun memories.

(oh and I will post about our move shortly.....I just need to find my camera.....it's somewhere in the massive pile of unpacked boxes......)
