It's been awhile

Dylan makes me laugh SO hard.  He loved doing his new scared face for pictures.  It is priceless. LOL :)

Life has been kind of crazy the past few weeks.  We have been SO busy.  Ben's wonderful grandma Hare passed away January 19th.  We had family come up from Washington and North Carolina.  It was sad to say goodbye, but it is good that she is with her wonderful husband again.  She will be missed so much!  I am so glad that we got pictures and video with Dylan.  I wish he could have known her longer. We got to hang out with some cousins and that was nice to see everyone again.  I sure love Ben's family.  They treat me so kind (better then my extended family). Dylan got to play with his 2nd cousin. I can't wait to come visit them in August.  I LOVE Washington.  I would like to move there someday.

The day of grandma Hares funeral I got some bad news that my mom has breast cancer.  It is such a scary thing.  I know she is a fighter and she will be able to fight through this.  All we can do now is pray and wait.  She goes in for surgery on the 18th of February.  After a month she will have radiation.  They are unsure if she will have to have chemo, but we will find out at a later date.  If you don't mind please keep her in your prayers. 

We have been updating our house!  That has been fun!  We bought the flooring which will be put in our hallway and kitchen. Ben put up the trim around the living room and kitchen entry.  It looks so nice. We will then my putting crown molding up around the entire upstairs.  I want to put in new cupboards eventually, but for now they will be okay.  We will be then putting a new granite counter top in the kitchen.  Then comes the bathroom.  First we are going to paint it a different color. Then a new counter top and sink.  Then comes the outside this summer we are going to paint.  We were going to side the house, but decided to wait.  Depending on if we will be moving in a year or so.  I am excited to see how it all turns out.

I can't wait for summer.  We have SO many fun things planned.  We are going to cut down a tree in our backyard so my garden will grow better.  I am excited to plant and can everything.  I wanted to do that last summer but where I was pregnant I didn't want to be outside at all.  In the front yard we will be pulling out some bushes and making a little rock garden in the front.  We have several family vacations planned for this summer too.  I can't wait to go visit everyone!  In April we will be going to my parents condo in Montana.  We love going there.  This year will be fun.  We will take Dylan swimming.  He LOVES being in the water.  It is so cute!  He is growing up so fast.
