On The Market..



Yep, my house is up and ready to go.  We have, well, I have wanted to sell for quite a few years now, and I finally begged Spence enough that he is actually convinced it's now a good idea!  Of course, it may not sell with all the lovely stuff going on in the market these days but you never know until you try right?!?!  So of course Sunday at church was filled with plenty of questions so here are some answers...
1.  Why are you moving?? 
Technically, we are not moving, we are just trying to move.  We are trying to sell because I am SO ready for a change and we feel like now might be a good time for that.
2.  Where are you going to go??
That's the tricky part, because we have no place to go until we actually sell our house.  We are hoping to get a little closer to Salt Lake where Spence works to make the commute a little shorter.  In the meantime, if we sell, we will just rent until we decide what to do.
3.  Are you buying or are you going to build??
Tricky again, because while we would LOVE to build, there just aren't a tremendous amount of lots available (at least at a decent price) south of Farmington.  If we find a house we like, we would definitely buy, but we do have a couple of options on lots - miracle of all miracles, we found some in Centerville that we LOVE...

So, I hope that answers at least a couple of questions.  Really, we have LOVED it here in Kaysville and love our neighbors So Much!  If we can't sell, it really will be fine and we will stay put.  But, if you know anyone who is looking - check it out HERE!!!

Lego Land


At least that's what our family room looks like all day, everyday. We have had Legos around for awhile and our kids have always loved them, but we added another big bin to the mix for Christmas and they have been a HUGE hit. I'm not kidding about the all day thing.

Grady gets them out in the morning and plays while I exercise and shower, we put it in a sort-of-cleaned-up pile and then after lunch he resumes his play with Adri. He takes little breaks, but it is ALWAYS back to the Legos for sure. At night, he gets Kendalyn in on it, and she builds him really cool things. Aunt Cindy and Spence are truly the best Lego builders around and Grady made sure he had Cindy on the floor building the whole time she was here. The first thing he says when Spence walks in is "I play Legos?" I really only try to clean it up twice a day and sometimes it just gets it once, but the mess is definitely worth the entertainment for sure...

Love the mints, hate the "leaky" tin???

Well, I have the solution - and it's just a little bit genius on my part if I do say so.... I LOVE Altoids mints, they really are the best, but...I HATE the powder that leaks out ALL over my purse - it really bugs. My keys had powder coating them and every time I reached in that little pocket, I had powder fingers too and that's just gross. SO...I bought new mints that come in a much better container - no leaks (which are good, but just not as good as the Altoids) and when it was empty, I stuck the good, old, reliable Altoids in - PERFECT!!!
