Life in the fast lane...

It seems like it's been forever since we posted... I guess it kind of has. Things have been happening like crazy! My mom always said that as you get older and have kids, time keeps going faster and faster- she was so right. The last few months have been pretty full: Zander is about 14 months old and running so fast my pregnant body has trouble keeping up with his energy sometimes, I am 36 weeks pregnant now with our little girl, Greg is keeping busy at work, and... we bought our first house!
We closed on our first house in the middle of June and we got to move in about a week and a half later. The house is pretty good size with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms but it was a foreclosure so we had quite a bit of work to do before we could move in. Thank goodness for such a wonderful family! Since Greg was working most of the time and I'm so pregnant, we had family in the new house almost every day cleaning and painting and I never even had to pick up a paintbrush. Zander and I did all the running around and picking up supplies while everyone else cleaned and painted and all that good stuff. Greg would come up after work and do anything else that needed done. We needed to clean, paint, and carpet the new house, move out of the apartment, clean the apartment, and move in to the new house all within 2 weeks... There is no doubt in my mind that without our family we couldn't have done it. They were so great and it was just reinforcing how thankful we already were to have them around.
Now we are just trying to get totally settled in before the new baby gets here- due August 14th. It's all coming together and it has been so nice to have a place we can call our own home.
We are so excited for the coming weeks... it will be fun to have a new baby around and for Zander to have a sibling- he seems to love babies right now so we'll see if that holds true in a couple weeks. :)
36 weeks pregnant- Getting close!
Helping make belgian waffles... mmmmmm....

What a cute boy!


My boys swinging
Playing in the sprinkler at the new house- SO MUCH FUN!
He got his own Buzz Lightyear cell phone for his birthday- it makes lots of noise so it's perfect for him, but no off button.... not so perfect for mom and dad.
Looking at Grandma and Grandpa Corrigan's chickens...
We went to Challis and played at the Hot Springs for Zander's Birthday- He loved it! It was a giant bathtub!
Happy Birthday Zander! He got some new tractors to play with.
