The House and Haircuts

Hey this is Jonathan here.  Caprice has really been dragging her feet on this blog thing, so I am taking matters into my own hands!  Since we moved into our home it seems like there are ENDLESS projects to complete.  Our latest one was completing our formal living room.  We lucked out with some awesome furniture from some friends in the ward.  It's nice to finally have something to sit on!  Shelby made us some beautiful curtains to complete the room. 

Our front entryway was barren and plain so we spiced it up with some decor.  The candles my sister JaNae made for us have been resurrected! 

The new rug is also in the front entryway.

Dean recently found his long lost doggy backpack and now wears it around everywhere he goes...including to bed.

Yesterday we cut both the boys' hair.  Once in a while when it gets really long we like to just buzz it.  I made the mistake of thinking a "#1" attachment would be fine.  As you can see we cut Dawson's first and he looks like he is a cancer patient or from a concentration camp.  Poor thing!  Dad's mistake.

We cut Dean's second and went with the #2 attachment!  Don't mind the hairy leg and towel in the background...it's Caprice.

The other big news is we are getting our house painted.  Since we live in a covenant community you have to get your new color approved by the board.  Kind of dumb!  We are hoping to get a pastel yellow with brick red accents and white trim approved.  In the meantime our painter has not been wasting time.  We came home yesterday to a ghostly white primed house.  I wish I could say it looks celestial, but it doesn't! 

I took some fun pictures around the house of some cool plants that have come up and blossomed in our yard. 

Yep, that is bamboo.

Here's the skinheads playing in the backyard.

We bought this flowering viny plant for the backyard.

Hanging out and enjoying a sunny day (that is rare here in Washington)!
