Homecoming Week and Home Improvements

This week was Homecoming Week at Sands. Taylor and Cali went to school Tues and Thurs dressed in the "theme" for that day, so they could pick prizes from Tana's prize box. These sweet girls have so much fun together!!

Mis-match day - they have mis-match bows, Cali's socks are different and Tay's shoes are different

"Your Future is Bright" - Bright clothes and sunglasses

Dustin and Ryan wore their bright colors, too!

Ryan's chunky legs are so cute...I couldn't resist a few pictures!

We are so blessed to live in school housing here! We've worked hard on the house since July and I wanted to post before/after photos. Dustin is responsible for the awesome yard!!

She's Walking!!!

Taylor's been taking steps occasionally for about 6 weeks now. On Sunday, she really started walking a lot more. By Monday, I think I only saw her only crawl twice that day! Now, she walks EVERYWHERE! I took these pictures of her yesterday. I LOVE this outfit that my uncle, aunt and cousins gave her. Thanks Brad, Kari, Tin and Kelc!

In other news, we are officially "in" the new house. I really LOVE it! We see Dustin a lot more, save on gas, and sleep really good at night b/c it's so quiet! I don't know if I'll ever be able to live back in town again!! We walk to the playground at the school almost every day and the kids love it! Taylor and I go down to the gym some at the end of Dustin's practices and she loves to play on the court!

We had the basketball girls over Monday night to eat supper. Taylor wasn't too sure what to think, but I had lots of fun! They kicked off their season last night with a win over Jayton! Basketball season is now in full swing! Come see us sometime at our new place!
