All the "single" ladies


Let this be a lesson, don't put a pregnant lady who is 8 months along sitting in a chair front and center...could I look any larger?

Thanks for a great shower everyone!! I know it was a lot of work and thank you husbands for watching the kids so we could have a great weekend!

Almost done! Just a few finishing touches to go!!

Exterior. We love being the end unit! We have a nice side yard for the kids to play in, plus we are at the end of the cul-de-sac, so we don't have much traffic. Wahoo!

We are the one on the left.



Private Back Yard with a Gate to the Common Area behind us.




Entry Way from Front Door. That door on the right is to the garage, and the other open door is to the 1/2 bath for the main floor. We have Konecto hardwood throughout the Main Floor. (It's a fake hardwood, but it looks nice). They have not put on any of the interior door hardware yet.
They still need to add the rod iron ballisters here, as you can see.


Family Room. I think we are supposed to have a ceiling fan/light combo in here. I will have to check, but I'm pretty sure we do.


Dining Area. That light is in the wrong spot, it needs to be moved over to the left more so it will be over the dinner table better.



Kitchen - We have a fridge coming, they just haven't put it in yet. Tropic Brown granite.


Upstairs Hallway/Family Prayer Area - Will be the same color as the Main Floor.



Upstairs Main Bath - Not sure what color we are doing here. Any suggestions?


Upstairs Laundry


Master Bedroom - We will paint this Silver Sage.



Master Bathroom - Also will be painted Silver Sage. The cabinet is higher, like Mom and Dad's. So if Brent or Jeff ever uses the Master Bath for any reason, not sure why they would, but they won't have to squat down as much. We're always thinkin' of the tall people!



Master Toilet Room - Will be Silver Sage. Very glad it has a private door. Little girls don't need to watch their daddy go potty. It strikes too many questions at too early of an age.


Master Walk-in Closet - Will be Silver Sage. Brooke will get most of the room. You see around the corner on the right, ya that's Aaron's little corner, it goes back about 3 feet.


Bedroom #2 - Emma & Heidi's Room (It will be Pink, of course). And we just bought them new bunk beds!! Hopefully Heidi is ready for a big girl bed, otherwise we are in for some really long nights.





Bedroom #3 The Nursery - It will be the same color as the Main Floor with an Accent Wall, probably a red.


Stairs down to Basement - Will be painted same color as the Main Floor. I love the little "cat walk" on the left. Ya, Heidi has already "Spider-Man" walked it many times. NOT SAFE!! We will have to do something about this.


Finished Family Room in Basement - Will be painted same color as the Main Floor. We are also going to add a wall down here to make a Bedroom #4 for guests. (If we get any, we live so stinkin' far away from everyone!) And the other side of the wall will be an office.

They still need to add the rod iron ballisters as you can see.

This is the unfinished closet for the bedroom we are going to add.


Unfinished Storage Area in Basement.

Unfinished Bathroom in Basement.

Happy 1st Birthday to Elizabeth!

We can't believe she is one year old.  Just think, a year age the Dunyon family was celebrating Madison's baptism as I labored for this little one to come.  Now, she's moving and shaking like none other.  She loves to be around the other two monkeys and thinks that Cole is the bomb.  He makes her laugh so hard, it's adorable!  Lizzie is walking pretty well now and is getting her 3rd and 4th tooth in this week.  Not exactly in order but she'll at least be able to tear into things now.  Here are just a few pictures that turned out from her little party we had for her!
Grandma & Grandpa Dunyon bought her this adorable little stroller, one of her first reactions was to get in, hang on, and go for a ride.  Is something wrong with this picture?
Cole and Kate picked out her birthday cake - at first she was a little leary....
and then Kate showed her how to dive in....
and this is how it ended!
What more could a girl ask for?

OUR NEW PLACE!!!

We are so excited that we are going to have a place of our very own finally! We have taken some progress pictures and will continue to do so! The home is in American Fork, about 2 miles South West of the Timpanogas Temple, awesome! We have 2100 sqft spread out through 3 floors. The builder is finishing the basement family room for us, then we will add a bedroom, bathroom and storage room down there, making the house a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 2 family room, 2 car garage, with a private back yard. We have access to a Club House with a pool, spa, and exercise room, and there is a common picnic area with a playground as well. We are going to be very happy here! Construction is scheduled to be complete by Oct 6th, and we hope to be moving in a week later!

Enjoy the pictures and watch for more to come!!
Here is the street we are going to live on!! Ours is the last one on the left, the best one!
The area on the left will be landscaped with grass and trees, making that a nice little area for the kids to play in the front, plus they can ride their bikes up and down the street without worrying about cars.
Side yard all for us!!! It's technically "common area" but we will be the once to use it most. Our neighbor is a sweet older single lady. Don't think she will be over there much.

Entry hall. The stairs down go to the basement. We are going to be taking out that wall and dressing it up right there to help open up the hallway a little. The flooring for the main floor will be a dark hardwood.

Hallway to the family room. The dinning room is around the corner along with the kitchen. Then the stairs going up will have a rod iron bannister system, very nice.
Family room and dinner area. There is a sliding glass door to the back yard. There will be a gate in the backyard which will give quick easy access to the common area for additional play room.

Kitchen area. We will have granite counter tops throughout the house!

Looking into the family/dinner room from the stairs.
Upstairs hallway. The master bedroom is the doorway all the way to the left. Then the laundry area is the double set of doors. Then the upstairs bathroom.
Master bedroom. It has a vaulted ceiling, and we do have a ceiling fan/light combo.
Master bathroom has a separate tub and shower. Single under mount sink with granite. Walk in closet, and private toilet area.
Bedroom 1 upstairs. This will probably be the nursery. It has a walk in closet also.
Bedroom 2 upstair. Emma and Heidi's room! They are very excited, they keep telling us they want the room pink. Figures. No walk in closet, but double doors on the closet.
Basement. This will be finished. We will eventually put a wall in and make it a bedroom.


Family room part of the basement. Again this will be finished area. The storage area is back behind the stairs along with the bathroom that we will finish after we move in.

Bathroom and bedroom walk in closet that we will need to finish. The basement will be for anyone who comes to visit. Just know you will have your own bedroom/family room/bathroom. We know we are far away from everyone, but hopefully this will make it worth coming up to Utah.

Labor-less Day Fun.

How do you celebrate Labor Day? You go to the beach!!! We are lucky enough to have super great friends who invited us to join them at Lake Mead for the holiday celebration. We showed up about 10:00 that morning to a great brunch of cinamon rolls, and lemon bread with a side of Laffy Taffy. My friend Michelle made us a wonderful breakfast and lunch for the day, and we really enjoyed it. We spent the day playing on a huge mondo slide, and giving and getting rides on the jet ski. They had a 4 seater jet ski, so tube rides were super fun and the water was warm and inviting. Needless to say we had a great time, we stayed untill dinner and headed home tired, happy and a little sunburnt. (Except Ryan, who had so much lotion on him his greasy lotioned hair could challenge even Grandpa Storer's LOL).


Madison and Ellie (soaked cast and all) Enjoying a hotdog lunch.

Andrew, Devan and Friend Jacob sucking down Snow Cones!!!


Super FUN water slide. Note Ellie w/o plastic bag on arm. It was impossible to keep her cast dry so we just gave up and opted for a date with the hair dryer that night.



Andrew and Ellie could sit in the foot trough of this jet ski. Ryan also had his first ride and came back humming like a motor, which btw is what he now says when you ask him to say jet ski.
We are so lucky to have great friends who let us share the day with them. Thanks Rob and Michelle!!!
