Our New Office

Dr Smith has been building a new office for about 4 months now. With a couple of construction setbacks we are finally in our new place. It is so georgeous I wanted to share some pics with ya all of where I get to work everyday. He bought a condo suite in a brand new medical building at 4465 S 900 E

This is the front of the office building on 9ooE

This is taken from the parking lot in the rear.

The amazing new front desk.
The coffered ceiling in the entryway. I also caught Dr Smith in this shot.

Dr Smith did such a good job in picking out everything from the colors to all the fixtures. It is so fun to go to work everyday in such a beautiful building. I was worried that since it is now even further south from where we were that it would take so much longer to get there and home, but with direct freeway access at 45th south, it is actually faster than trying to make my way down 39th south to get to 33rd .

Our trip to Spring City

Last weekend we went down to Kays moms house in Spring City. We had the four wheeler in tow and were super excited to get some use out of it. It snowed all weekend, So the four wheeler sat on the trailer and we enjoyed some inside activities. We were celebrating Kays brothers 35th birthday and also an early easter. It was so fun to get away for the weekend and relax. We played dice and watched movies. We also painted easter eggs and had a little easter egg hunt for Bradley because he was dying to have one.



Katie in the car on the way down. She has been wanting braids in her hair lately and when she saw the after effect of taking the braids out the next day she wants them even more now.

Katie coloring on her egg with crayon before dipping it in color. Notice the wavy hair from the braids.

Bradley working on an egg.

The end result. You gotta love the no teeth stage!

We always love spending the weekend down south and cant wait for the next trip.

What we've been up to...

I feel like I have been so busy that I have not had time to blog anything and then I sit and think about what to blog and I guess I really havent been that busy. Kaylans truck is leaking some sort of fluid so it is in the shop and he has my car so I am stuck at home so I guess it is a good time to post what we have been doing.
A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to The Aquarium in Sandy. They were so excited to go and see all of the fish and especially touch the sting rays. Bradley wouldnt let me take any picures and when Katie decided she was ready for her picture to be taken she was standing in front of this really exciting brick wall. They loved looking at the fish and looked forever at the shark tank. Some of those sharks were really big. The disappointment of the day was at the sting ray bay, they seemed to be all dead or maybe well asleep. They didn't move the whole time we stood there and were in the middle to far away to touch.

These are suppose to be Piranahs(sp) They actually look really mean.

After The Aquarium we took them to The Mayan for lunch. I have a patient who is the new head chef and he had said that he had redone the menu. We thought it was worth checking out since the old menu was really nothing to die for. A general consensus though was that it tasted the same and we wondered what he had changed except for there was a lot less to choose from. The kids loved it though and we had the perfect seats to watch the divers. Katie was screaming with excitement the whole time and we didn't know if since it was a restaurant if we should shut her up or if the thunder and lightening noise was enough to cover up her noise. We decided to let her have fun and couldn't help laugh at the sounds she was making.

Here is my little poser once again, I dont know why but when I tell her to smile she always puts her chin to her shoulder.

Of course he cant smile because that would be just to hard.

The next weekend we bought a new bed and nightstand. I am so excited! We have never owned an actual bed we have always just had the matress on the metal frame. I love the bed. It took so long to choose a headboard and footboard that we both like because I am really contemporary and love all the leather headboards. Kaylan is more traditional. We found one we both like and now that it is home I love it even more.

Happy Birthday Sarah!

Happy birthday and by the way that bday card is still sitting on the counter, I guess I am seeing if I can beat you and Brent last year and get it to you a month late. hehehe
Hope you have a wonderful day and wish I was there to celebrate with you. We should just live it up in New York and do some major shopping for both of us since it will be just a couple of days after my birthday you know.
Have the most wonderful day ever!!!!

Our New Living Room

So last friday we decided to go see what Rc Willey had on sale for presidents day. We desperately needed new living room furniture seeing how when Bradley was four he took scissors to every cushion on the couch. The cusions are now sagging and looked horrible. We found some sofas and 2 chairs that we loved and purchased for a great deal. We got home and the next day decided to update the whole room. The room has never had a light in the ceiling we have always just used a lamp. Kay installed a new light in the ceiling and then we have been painting all week before the furniture arrived.

This is the old color of the walls

The new chairs, this picture just does not do them justice. They are so cute.

This is the new couch . The leopard pillows just were not our style but they came with them. We actually have ordered some accent pillows the same material as the chairs to go on the couch.

We are so excited to have a room that actually looks brand new again. Now we are painting the kitchen. I am so sick of painting but cant wait for the end result.

Katie, Katie, Katie

So on Friday morning when we took Bradley to school Katie heard on the radio that on the Grammys Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift were going to do a performance together. Katie begged and begged if we could watch the show that they were going to be on. Sunday evening we turn on the Grammys a couple of minutes late and Justin Timberlake was performing or talking or something I dont quite remember. Katie turns to me and Kay and says HE is sooo hot! We looked at each other in astonishment even wondering if she knew what she was saying. A couple of minutes later Carrie Underwood comes on and Katie says. "Oh, She is dressed soooo cute." We finally made it to the performance of the night and she gets so excited. This time she said. "Mom, This is totally awesome." I cant believe that my four year old is saying all this. She then decides to dance impromtu to the performance and requests that I video it. I caught all the dancing but there is no sound. It is still pretty funny to watch.

The next couple of pictures are Katie posing in the clothes that Grandma brought back form Pourto Rico. She is just so stinking cute. She is such a poser. Notice she insisted on putting the headband on all by herself.

We are soooo boring!

We have not done anything as of late so I just thought I would give an update to how we are all doing and what we have (boring as it may) been doing lately.
Bradley just had his 2nd SEP conference for the year. He is doing great!!!!! Not one word mentioned about behavior, He is now reading at grade level and really the only thing we have to work on is math which is funny because this use to be his strong subject. I guess we have put such an emphasis on reading that we have let this subject slack a little. I can't believe the amount of homework he has for 2nd grade. He has to read for 25 minutes a night, 1 page of math/ spelling words etc per night. He now has to do a report on a famous American and we have to do weekly book reports. What book could a 2nd grader read that is worth doing a book report on? I guess we have graduated to chapter books but man.
Katie loves preschool and wanted to have an SEP conference with her teacher. I had to explain to her that you dont have those in preschool and she cried for like a half hour. She is still loving going to dance and informed me after her last class that they are getting ready for her next performance.(June) Lets hope the batteries are charged in the camera this time. The girl loves to sing all the time, and when I say all the time I mean allllll the time. Bradley even said the other day he wishes he had had a brother because he wouldn't have to listen to all the singing. I have to say for a 4year old she stays on tune pretty well. I am thinking about finding a singing class or something. I dont even know if they have them for 4years olds. She is growing so fast and learning so much everyday. She can just about write her name.
All the house projects haven't gotten very far. We got all the accesories for the bathroom downstairs and put them in and then Kay decided that there was some drywall that needed touching up( the room is painted) So the mirror, towel bars and toilet paper holders are all in but I cant even post pictures to show how good they look because now there is screw holes and a big patch that need to be repainted.
Kay has been really busy with work and working most weekends. I guess we should just be grateful that he has a job. His boss did call a meeting and said that to keep everyone and the company busy he is bidding a lot of out of town work so we may be in for some more working out of town which I am not too excited for. We have been steady at work, not crazy busy like last year but busy enough. Dr Smith is building a new office and so now I get to drive a little further to work every day. It wont be too bad it is further south but not as far east as I have to go now.
Well knock on wood we have all so far avoided the colds and flus of winter and are all healthy and happy.
