All of a sudden summer is over. I don't know how this happened, it definatly snuck up on me. We havn't been camping, on any vacations or even to any waterparks, Lagoon or the zoo. Our entire summer was consumed by buying our home, moving into it and beginning work on it. This is a great thing and a HUGE step for us, and we are thrilled; but I can't help but feel a little sad that we let the summer pass without stopping to enjoy it. We have really been enjoying our home though. It is so nice to have this little space that is our own :). I love working on it and I even love cleaning it. (Is that sick?) Aspen starts her last year of preschool on Wednesday. She is going to a preschool in Brigham City that has gymnastics and dance classes directly after her preschool classes, so its super convienent for us. She is also supposed to start soccer this week! She is so excited to have some activities that involve other kids! I am so excited to see her play soccer, she looks so dang cute in her lil uniform! I will post pics of her in it as soon as I take some. In the meantime, here are some pics of what we have been up to:
Welcome to the Springer casa. This is what the house looked like the day we moved in. Oh the poor lawn! We have already done so much and I will post some updated pics ASAP! I am not posting pics of the inside until I take pics of the remodel :)
This is what it looks like every night at my house :) This is taken from my backyard, can you see Willard Bay right above the trees? It is so pretty!
This is the newest edition to the Springer clan. Meet Bear :) This pic was taken a few months ago. He is now 17 wks old and a whopping 48 lbs. He is a big teddy bear!
Evenings here are so wonderful!
Aspen loves it here. She is constantly chasing the stray cats that live in the neighbors barn, (Odd, I know.) helping the neighbor boys feed the chickens or pick beans or looking for bugs and catching moths and mayflies. She is turing into a lil country girl! I dont know what face she is making in this pic, I just thought it was funny :) She is in her nightgown, right out of the bathtub, playing in the backyard at sunset!
This is one of the before mentioned stray cats. Want it? Its yours! I will even pay you to take him! He is a great mouser and very sweet! I am trying to avoid taking them to the shelter...but it is getting pretty close to that.
Our neighbors have a chicken coop that borders our fence. Bear will sit here and just stare at them for hours. They are pretty hilarious to watch. We hope to have chickens with in 2 years.
Happy boy. Bear loves it here!
Aspen thinks it is so special that she has a "jetted tub." She actually has the only jetted tub in the house...isn't that odd that there is one in an extra bathroom but not in the master? Anyway, we learned the hard way that bubble bath and jets dont mix! Can ya tell? :)
This was the best smile I could get outta the kid before her preschool orientation. She said she forgot how to smile....sigh.... :)
Hope all is well with all of you!!!
