Let Freedom Ring

So we are now officially hitting those Summer temps and Bella LOVES to be outside! She wakes up every morning and wants to wear her Tinterbell pretty dress which is a Tinkerbell swimsuit with a skirt. She also reminds me to put on the sunscreen as well.
She makes me laugh everyday, without fail. I am blessed. I have tried to spend the past month getting my house decorated for the 4th of July and finish a few decorating touches in the kitchen and front rooms. I can't believe we have lived here for a year and we are still trying to get settled in. Joe has been working so hard to get our yard done. He has finished putting in the sod and put in a 12 X 12 patio last weekend. GO JOE!! Our garden is looking good, we actually have a tomato already! I will put some pictures up of his great work. We just have one final area to complete this year before we call it quits. We will work on trees, rocks and a fence next year.
Joe has been working really hard this month at work. He has a deadline that is up on July 7th so he has been putting in some long nights. He was able to come home last night so that I could go to a concert with my baby sister, Krissy. Krissy works full time as well as going to school part time so I rarely get to spend time with her. It was so fun and great to have some one on one with her! She amazes me... mother of 4 and still doing what she does.
Speaking of family, my brother is doing as well as can be expected. He is still in the hospital, it will be 2 months on the 3rd of July. What a trooper! Remember, if you would like more of an update, please check out his site @ www.justinbutts.blogspot.com there is also a link for donations if you are able. What ever you are able to do is so appreciated.
We hope that this month brings you fun and a time of celebration. We have been given so much and now is the time to remember where it came from.

Is it really June already??

Hi All!
I can not believe it is June already! You gotta love this Utah weather... one minute it is 50 degrees and then the next day it jumps to the mid 80's.
We are doing well considering.... my brother, Justin was in a serious motorcycle accident the beginning of May (that would be why I didn't post last month) and has been in and out of surgery since then. He is still in ICU and will be for a while. If you want more info on that, you can visit his blog (courtesy of me) at www.justinbutts.blogspot.com. We also have donation site set up there if you are able.

Bella turned 2 the end of April and it was SO much fun! We had a little party for her friends here at the house and then she had a party at both Grandma and Grandpa Cosman's and Grandmom's (my mom) house. What a lucky girl!

Joe just put in our sod in the back yard last night.... it is amazing what a little green will do. I can't wait to get the pool out for Bella and just enjoy the weather, that is if we ever get a summer.

Anyway, take care all and talk to you soon!

Disneyland!!

We had so much fun! The kids got along great! Bella woke up every morning there asking to see Ethan and Logan.
The weather was in the low to mid 70's, so much better than snowy Utah. We just had a great time.
Joe and I are looking forward to getting our yard finished well, I don't know if Joe is as excited as I am as he knows he will have to do the majority of the work! We have our front yard done as well as the sprinkler system and an additional car port but we need the sod the back as well as landscape. I hope to have it done by Bella's birthday (April 29th)
Speaking of her birthday, I can't believe she will be 2! My baby is so big!! She is now talking up a storm! She is so smart - She can say all her colors (although she doesn't remember what is what) and can count to ten at any given moment. She loves to wear my shoes and jewelry and she is just starting to take off her clothes so she streaks threw the house often laughing her head off.
We are in the process of getting her "big girl" room done as well as her bathroom. We thought it would be easier to move her into a new room rather than move the furniture... go figure! I am enjoying the decorating.
All is well, we are enjoying life and each other and there is talk about adding another but who knows when that will happen.... we will be sure to tell when it does though!

Bella is 2 years old!
