Decorating our Home

Mr. D and I have been decorating our home the past few months, and we both agree it's in a state we are really happy with. (In case you want to remember some of the pictures from before, you can look at our prior home post here.)
Family room
In our family room we hung pictures from unsplash.com, a site that posts 10 free use images every 10 days.
Kitchen
Birds
In our dining area, we found several decorations to place on the walls. For a long while all we had were the bird picture and mirror, both on the ground next to the walls, but with the help of my mom we were able to find additional pieces to go along with them. We really like the frames that we can put up pictures to with mini clothespins.
Frames
For these frames, Mr. D and I had a craft night where we bought chicken wire, burlap, and clothespins to hang pictures of people we love on the wall.
Dining Area
We purchased a new light fixture in our dining area. Our old one was wrapped in fabric on the outside that colored the light yellow, which I hated, so when I saw this one after searching for months I knew I had to have it. David let me do the electrical work for it, which involved capping and taping the wires.
Bedroom
Upstairs we replaced my college bedspread with a grey duvet and added an over-sized mirror for me to use when I'm getting ready. We also replaced our curtains with blackout ones. Normally I'm the one who can sleep-in on the weekends, but with these curtains Mr. D can out sleep me.

We love our home. :)

My sister Torrey's Wedding to Hyrum

A couple weeks ago David and I took a trip just the two of us to Utah for my sister's wedding! Spending time in Utah was very special for me.  We left our three boys back home and our cousin Trevin watched them for us. (While we were gone, Trevin sent "proof of life" photos as well as several photos of their adventures so that we wouldn't worry about our kids.) We stayed with David's sister who recently moved to north Provo area. The evening before my sister's wedding we had a family dinner where we all got to make toasts for Torrey and Hyrum and celebrate them. Torrey told me that my husband's toast for her was one of her favorites.  I got to be there with Torrey and Hyrum in the Payson Utah Temple. I got to see family and catch up with old friends who have since moved to the Utah area. I loved being a part of Torrey's wedding and celebrating her and Hyrum meeting each other and being able to enter this next stage of life together and a married couple...

We are Utahn's now!

We've moved to Highland Utah and are enjoying this new chapter of our lives here! We have discovered that Utah has lovely late summer/early falls. The weather is nice out each day and we are finding ourselves spending a lot of time outside. The kids ride bikes and scooters in the front yard in our cul-de-sac with the neighborhood kids. Our neighbors are warm and friendly. Now that we live on a flat street, Neil has learned how to ride a bike. We live near a paved bike trail called the Murdock trail that is amazing. We enjoy going to Neil's soccer games as a family. The doorbell rings every day with neighbor kids coming over to play. James was invited to his second-ever friend birthday party. Feel free to comment with what you like about where you live and your favorite things to do outdoors. 

Birthday month for the boys!

Something fun in our home is that our boys all have May birthdays. We loved celebrating their birthdays with them and their friends this year. We tried to make each child's birthday special.  We also had a neighborhood community party!
