A Very Long Week

About every night this week (April 6-10) we have gone over to the house to work. The kids have been troopers. I finally brought a bunch of stuff to keep the kids busy while we worked. Thank goodness I thought to bring a blowup mattress and a TV. Helps him have some down time while there is so much going on. All Brooklyn needs is a box.I bought this little tool set for Brayden - best thing I've done. He loves to "help" grandpa and follows him around asking all sorts of questions. He loves that he has a tool belt like grandpa. He hasn't stopped playing with the tools. I have quite a few more in the set I haven't given him yet. I'll add one every now and again to keep him excited.

On Friday we had to be at the house early so the carpet guy could come measure. I have been promising Brayden for a couple of weeks that we would go see all the fish at the Aquarium in Sandy. I had decided to get a season pass since we will live less than one mile from there. This was definitely the wrong day to go. I didn't realize that EVERY kid was out of school and EVERY parent decided to take their kids here. Brayden started freaking out when I told him we would come back, so we stayed and waited in line for 30 minutes to get in. (The line had doubled in size by the time we left.) Because I bought the season pass, I didn't really care to see everything and get all the pictures of the fun things they have there. We'll be going back lots so I'll get those pics later. Here are a few we did take.

Your kids are adorable!
I'm glad that you are making progress on the house. I can't wait to see what it looks like when you finish it.
Jared and I might do what you guys are doing in the fall...buy a house and fix it up. Do you think it's worth it? Should I ask you later? :) How good of a deal did you get on the house? You can email me if you don't want to respond on my blog: court1013@hotmail.com.
Thanks Shantelle!

Looks like you guys have been hard at work! I love the box pics, and the little helper. Sorry I missed you when I was in Utah. Maybe next time I come I can see the new house.
