And the Peanut is......

A GIRL!!

I found this dress on target.com and I think it is super cute.. it just may have to be the first one I buy for her! You know what is funny?! We have her nickname already picked out - little duck - but no decisions for her actual name. Any name suggestions are welcome :)

Heavenly Flooring

Out with the old, in with the new - we got new carpets on the main level of our house last Friday!! WOOHOO! Soo nice! It was quite the process of moving all of our stuff into our kitchen and carport, but it was worth it! Here are some pictures of the process and the before and after.

DISASTER AREA!! aka our kitchen

I watched the show "Clean House" the other day while I was at the gym and people actually live with their house in this much disarray!! Crazy!

Camping out in the living room.. you may notice the ice cream cake next to Mike.. we treated ourselves after a night's worth of hard work!! :)

Aaah! So comfy!!

See that beautiful texture and color! I am a big fan of the blend of auburn, gold, brown, tan and green threads which you can't really see in this picture, but it is really nice!

What do I love, love, love about our new carpet??? Visible vacuum lines!!

I don't mind the white fireplace as much with our new carpets either!

Hallway

I love this picture because Brinley is smiling and waving at the camera.. which is the first time she has done that!

All in all super pleased with our decision to get new carpets. Only one downfall has occurred from the change - some of our doors are a wee bit too long for the thicker carpet. However, we will just use a table saw to trim the doors on the bottom so they can open and close easier.

Grandpa Brumbaugh Visit

My dad came to visit for a week and we had a great time! We all wished that Grandma B could have been here too! We were able to get a lot accomplished during his visit including the bathroom from the previous post and do a bunch of other cool things too. We miss him already! Thanks for coming!!

Brinley loved story time with Grandpa!

GAME TIME! My brother John and his friend Andrew drove down from Logan just to watch the BYU vs SDSU game. We prepped for the game by downing a couple of pizzas and playing some Kinect bowling. It was an awesome game to watch..even a couple of rows from the top. :)

We drove up to Pocatello, ID to watch my brother Richard throw the shot for U of Montana. But beforehand we met up with John and Liz in Logan to take John and Jenny with us. Sam took this picture of his parents, so I am posting it for him. :)

Yogurt time!

Sweet Jenny! She and Brinley love playing together. I wish I had gotten a picture of when they were hugging each other it was adorable. Jenny even called Brinley her new best friend after playing with her for about a half an hour.. making friends apparently is a lot easier when you are younger! haha

Sam was striking some funny poses! Brin sure loved their car.

Cousin Jenny wandered around the arena, but stopped for a picture. Brinley hadn't seen uncle Richard in quite a while and she was afraid of him at first. Grandpa tried passing Brin off to him but she ended up crying and getting upset with Grandpa too! haha Anyways, toward the end of the night she actually went to him and played with him.

Richard receiving a little prep talk

Richard throwing the shot a phenomenal distance! His personal best of 51'6" with a 16 lb shot.. I can only beat that distance on the Kinect. haha

Brinley helping Grandpa with the yarn.. well she wasn't very helpful but she did like to play with it! My dad managed to whip out 4 hot pads in just a couple of days while staying with us! We are definitely reaping the benefits of his hard work. :)
