Honestly meant to...

After my last post about my friend's little girl passing, I truly meant to start blogging more regularly. But, as it has a tendency to do, life became pretty hectic. Since that post, Ava turned 2, we've been out of town and we have a newer single wide in place of our old, run down single wide that we had.

Ava, my sweet little girl. Where has the time gone?! She turned 2 on the 17th of may. And it seems like she has been even more grown up since then! She is definitely her own little person. And she is soooooooo dang stubborn! But she is the sweetest thing you could imagine! She thinks that she is such a big girl now that she has her own room too!

Jayson is still Jayson. He is getting bigger every day. And becoming smarter and smarter all the time! I honestly don't know where he gets his memory from! If you say something under your breath, in passing, he will remember it months down the road! Even if it is never mentioned in between!

And as I mentioned, we have a new house! We were able to work out a trade deal with a guy that lived across the street from mom and dad in Layton. And Skip and Lola helped with the moving costs to get it to Declo. It is still a single wide. But it is a 3 bd, 1 3/4 bath with a laundry room and a bigger kitchen and master bedroom. It is definitely a lot nicer than the one that we were in! The old one didn't have any insulation to speak of...you could feel the wind blow through all the time. Anytime that there was a big windstorm, I would sit and pray, "Please, Lord, bless this house!" And just repeat it over and over! lol The kids had to share a tiny bedroom. And there wasn't very much of a kitchen. But, in the new one, Jayson and Ava have their own rooms and a full bath to share. It is much roomier. The old one was a 12x56. And the new one is a 14x66. I have a bigger kitchen with counterspace, a small laundry/pantry room, and our master bedroom has a 3/4 bath and a small walk-in closet! It needs some updating and some decorating. But a HUGE improvement! We have been so blessed in having this home become ours! I knew from the very beginning that this was meant to be and that the Lord was blessing our family with this new home.
