The Post of Mini-Posts

This is going to be the post of Mini-Posts to try and get my wonderful blogger friends caught up with my life.


Our Trip to Idaho

In mid March we visited our wonderful family in Idaho. It was a lot of fun, and cold. Here is Natalie with Grandpa and Grandma Cutler. She never was quite sure of Keith's beard!


My daughter is crazy...could it be genetic?

Like Father Like Daughter? (I thought this was Brady, but it's actually his older brother Drew!! So I guess its, "Like Daughter like Uncle!" :)

House Projects

House projects have consumed my life for the past few months. One of those has been Natalie's room. Here is the BEFORE picture...

And the AFTER picture!
We have been extremely happy with the end result. Its hard to even remember what her room looked like before. I also repainted her $35 dresser we got off Craigslist, see below. I tried a few different things I've never done before with it, and I'm not 100% sure I love the result, but its fun and girly.

We also decided to remodel my parents "Christmas tree Room", "Home Teacher Room", or otherwise known as "the room that rarely got used." We stripped wallpaper (I HATE wallpaper), textured the wall, painted, moved some furniture, and made it into an amazing theater room. We love it an use it so much more now! I will post pictures later.

Natalie has some quirks
...like putting her pacifier in her eye. So weird.

And well her pacifiers ('friends') in general. I wish this was a better picture, but she has one 'friend' in her mouth and she is carrying FOUR others!!



Recent Pictures I LOVE




Recently, (thanks to hanging out with other kids) Natalie has started hugging our legs. She has never been an affectionate child, and so this is so extremely welcome and loved!

Natalie and daddy were blowing bubbles. Here she is trying to eat one.

The Many Faces of Natalie

Keep in mind, all of these picture were taken within 2 minutes of eachother.






A Year Ago...

I can't believe we've been here for a year already! It has been a growing year for us and we really are enjoying life.

Here is Natalie and Brady last summer. I think they are adorable!

Here we are last year when Brady graduated and the day Natalie was blessed.

A little more than a year ago...

I just love this picture of Brady's parents. I just recently saw it for the first time and now its one of my favorites!!!

Not one, but Two!!

My sister carly just recently had twin girls! Lily and Kate Andelin are now about two weeks old and I'm just dying because I want to go see them!! Kate has been having some some issues with jaundice and the last couple days have been a little rough for Lily, and we are continuing to pray for them. We love them so much already! Check out Carly's blog or facebook for pictures.

We are doing well.

I will try and do better with posting. We love you all! We are excited for a fun and eventful summer!
