Finally Home!

Yay! We're in our new home. It's so excited after the exhausting part is done :). Cade's Dad came up here from Arizona and helped us SO SO much! I don't know how we would have gotten everything packed, moved, cleaned, and organized without his help. He was seriously a lifesaver! He installed a fan, did tons of cleaning, put up our desk, worked on a huge project in the garage and much more! On the day of the move, we also had some help from some of the guys in our ward, which was very helpful! It's always surprising how much stuff you accumulate over the years!


Emma got worn out from the move

We did still have to eat in this mess for a while :)

Cade and Dad did work most of the time and other times....worked on their karate skills...



This is Emma's cute room. I painted the stripes on the wall after seeing a cute room on Pottery Barn Kids website. I think it turned out pretty cute!

Well, still LOTS to do, but it's coming along!

Cute Emma Videos...

One of my favorite things was after recording her, I showed Emma the videos and she was smiling and giggling to herself. Love it! She is becoming more active and responsive with me. She is adorable :).

Yellow dress, fuzzy bunny, and crazy family...

Happy Easter! I had such a great weekend with Easter and General Conference weekend in one...I don't know that it could have gotten any better. However, I now realize it's a LOT harder to pay attention to all the speakers now that I have a baby. Good thing we can read them any time with the technology we have these days!

It was a great day with a fun girls night at Applebees while the boys went to the Priesthood session. Then we had the most amazing mint ice cream oreo dessert! It's to die for! Easter morning Cade, Emma, and I found our baskets (Cade didn't hide mine very hard and even told me what room it was in. I hid his hard and told him good luck finding it :)).


Then we got Emma ready in her cute Easter dress. Even though it was snowy, Emma was our bright ray of sunshine.





We enjoyed playing games and even doing yoga poses too! Well, the yoga was just for my sisters. But I enjoyed taking pictures of them. It brought me back to when I was 7 and my Dad would teach Kristen and I different gymnastics moves while my mom video taped us. Good times :).

Gotta love color!

Yay! The painting in the house is almost done (that is until we move in and I decide it's not done :))! My Mom came a couple weeks ago and helped me paint and gave me a few tips. She is a pro because she painted (who knows how many square feet)our entire Bountiful house! She helped me do the kitchen and then I finished the family room in the same sage color. Then I ran into a friend at the store the week after and she said "I want to come help you paint!" And I definitely can't turn down someone who wants to help out :). So Lily came over and helped me do the office in a tan/beige color and touch up Cade and I's room. I think everything is turning out really good! Now I just have to finish Emma's room, clean everything, and start packing next week! We're trying to get everything done and move next Saturday the 17th. Then we'll finally be in our home!!!

My friend, Lily Miller. Love her!

The office (mind you, this used to be a disgusting yellow color)

The family room (This used to be gray. I was going to take a picture of the kitchen too, but there is stuff everywhere now!)

Cousin's Luncheon!

So last month Stephanie helped me plan a cousin's luncheon for the Burton side of the family. My cousin, Ashlianne, and her husband are leaving out of state soon and I've been wanting to plan this for a while, so I thought, why not now? I got emails from some cousins and had them forward it on to their siblings. For such short notice, we had quite the turnout! There were 26 people total (that's including a few children). It was great to see everyone and some cousin's that I haven't been able to see in quite some time. Here are some pictures from the good times! We're going to have to do it again soon!
