Our beatiful home is for rent. 2026 square ft. 3 bedrooms 2 1/2 bathrooms. It is 3 levels. This townhome is located in Lehi UT. in a great family neighborhood. All of the carpet is only a year old and so is the paint. Hardwood floors in the kitchen and entry way. Also there is a jetted tub in the master bathroom and a walk in closet in the master bedroom. The basement has a second living room and a lot of storage closets with an unfinished bathroom that makes a great place for storage. Also there is a 1 car garage.

Isa's Dress

2011-07-12T09:45:00.000-07:00

Me and Ivy sewed this dress for Isa. For the picture I threw it on Lola over her other clothes, But I think it turned out really cute.

4th of July

2011-07-12T09:30:00.000-07:00

We had a great 4th. We spent some time at my Mother in laws with cousins. And then we had a BBQ at my house and watched fireworks. We also went to the parade.

Kindergarten Graduation

2011-07-12T09:26:00.000-07:00

Addi loved kindergarten.

Family Fitness Fair

2011-07-12T09:13:00.000-07:00

The last school activity was the Family Fitness fair. My kids love it.

Texas

2011-07-12T09:08:00.000-07:00

AGM was not as fancy this year. But we had a ton of fun. Mostly we just hung out by the pool. Somewhere I have more pictures. I will find them and post them.

Mohawk

2011-07-12T09:01:00.000-07:00

Rhett's new haircut. We all love it.

Love

2011-07-12T08:59:00.000-07:00

Have you ever seen anything sweeter?

Missing teeth

2011-07-12T08:57:00.000-07:00

Addi lost her first tooth and she also lost the dollar that the tooth fairy brought. She may have a problem.

Dresses

2011-07-12T08:55:00.000-07:00

Some dresses I made.

April Fools

2011-07-12T08:54:00.000-07:00

I know funny right! Don't worry it was only chocolate. :)

Friends

2011-07-12T08:52:00.000-07:00

My kids have so many wonderful friends. We love them. I usually have about 6 little girls in my house and 4 boys.

Smiles

2011-07-12T08:49:00.000-07:00

With all of this craziness we are all still very happy. I love being a Mom of three and being busy. I am so lucky.

Death

2011-07-12T08:45:00.000-07:00

Tyler total led his car. He is devastated still by this. We bought him a new car. A suzuki XL7 but the love was never there. So we just traded it in for a brand new Suzuki XS4. I hope he can move on. It has been very difficult for him it has even kept him up at night (which I thought to be impossible.)

Tilly

2011-07-12T08:40:00.000-07:00

We got a dog in Febuary. I went and picked her out. I LOVE HER. She is such a good dog and loves to just sleep in my lap. All has not been perfect though. She is like another child. Potty training has been a blast but it is now going very well. She is a 5 pound papillion.

Wreath

2011-07-12T08:37:00.000-07:00

I made this wreath out of paper.

RSV

2011-07-12T08:34:00.000-07:00

Poor Lola got really sick in about February. After having a sick baby for 14 days and being up all night each and every night I knew there was something really wrong with her. So naturally I took her to the doctor. During this time Tyler was in California on a work trip. Anyways the doctor said there was nothing really wrong with her. Which I knew was wrong. About two hours after taking her home she started having a hard time breathing. I called some friends and they came and gave her a blessing. Then I called Ginger and she came over. We gave her a breathing treatment but nothing got better. So we took her to the ER where they admitted her to the hospital. They told me she had RSV.
Ty found out at the same time that he had broke his wrist. I was hoping that he would be able to come home soon but he was not able to get home until three days later.
We stayed in the hospital for 5 days. Lola also had pneumonia and when we got home she was on oxygen for another week. After that she struggled with constant ear infections and ended up getting tubes in her ears.
I am so thankful to all my friends who watched my other kids while I was in the hospital with her and my sisters. Not to mention all the shoulders I had to cry on. I am also thankful that all my kids are healthy now.

My Quilt

2011-07-12T08:20:00.000-07:00

I did it I finally finished my quilt that I made out of old clothes. It is not the best thing I have ever made. I am just proud I finished it.

The kiddos

2011-07-12T08:18:00.000-07:00

All of my kids before the craziness started. Ok so I know I have not blogged in a really long time. But you are about to see why. Life with three kids has gotten really crazy!

Matching Jammies

2011-04-29T08:24:00.000-07:00

We had such a great time when Holly and her kids stayed with us for New Years. We found these Mommy and me jammies on sale at Kohls. We all wore our jammies that night and watched Sorcerers Apprentice.

Addi's 5 year old pictures

2011-04-29T08:19:00.000-07:00

I really had to fight with Addi on what she was going to wear! Holly took these pictures for me because I needed a new one of Addi. I think they turned out really cute!

Bubbles

2011-04-29T08:12:00.000-07:00

What a fun bath jets make. Look at all those bubbles!

New Years Family Party

2011-04-29T08:00:00.000-07:00

Such fun being with the cousins! New Years was a lot of fun. We had a party at our house. We played charades, ate yummy food, and had a midnight toast. I am so glad so many of my sisters and their families could come!

Cousins

2011-04-29T07:54:00.000-07:00

Macey and Addi just love to be together. When they were staying with us they decided they were dress alike one day. They got these skirts from Grandma Christensen a couple of years ago. Holly took these pictures with her fantastic camera that I am totally jelouse of.

Gingerbread Houses

2011-02-27T20:04:00.000-08:00

Rhett's is the top and Addi's is the bottom.
After Christmas these went on sale so I bought them and the kids had a great time making them and the best part was that it took very little supervision.

Christmas 2010

2011-02-27T19:57:00.000-08:00

Addi got a Karaoke machine that she just loves. Addi is always playing music. One of her favorites is Micheal Jackson. Sometimes I feel like I have a teenager! She listens to music in her room all day and I am constantly telling her to turn it down!

I admit I was really bad about taking pictures this year!

All Ready For Christmas Day

2011-02-27T19:52:00.000-08:00

Addi made this Raindeer food at school.

Annual Dinner Under the Tree

2011-02-27T19:38:00.000-08:00

And of course our dinner under the tree with apple cider. LOVE IT and LOVE my honey!

Christmas eve 2010

2011-02-27T19:33:00.000-08:00

First the kids spent the day playing with some friends. In the picture that is Rhett's friend Kyson. Then at night we had our anual Christmas eve party. Only us, the Harrison's, and the Seiser's were there this year. It was very different but we had a great time.

Jingle Jam 2010

2011-02-27T19:18:00.000-08:00

The kids love doing their Jingle Jam sadly I was not able to go this year because Lola was sick. I had the kids do a private performance for me at home.

Setting up the Christmas Tree

2011-02-26T13:01:00.000-08:00

A quick family picture. This was not planned so you get us all natural.

Halloween

2011-01-11T07:39:00.000-08:00

Yes I realize Halloween is long over. But I have not been getting around to blogging as well as I use to. Capri came from North Carolina at Halloween time. Which was a lot of fun. Ginger kids also went trick or treating with us. The kids had a great time trick or treating with Tyler and his Dad while us girls stayed home and had a great time.

Halloween Parade

2010-12-12T16:13:00.000-08:00

The Halloween parade is something that I try to get out of going to every year. The gym is completely over crowded and all you get to do is see your kids walk by really fast. But they always want me there so I give in and go. Addi went as Alice in wonderland and Rhett was a Pokemon trainer. The other lady is Rhett's great teacher. I was not able to catch Addi's.

Family Halloween Party

2010-12-12T16:05:00.000-08:00

My lovely mother in law throws a great Halloween party. We have a great time carving our pumpkins or at least the kids do.

Living Planet Aquarium

2010-12-12T15:50:00.000-08:00

Going to Living Planet Aquarium with the kids was fun. It is kind of a lame place but my kids love to see the penguins.

Crazy Hair day

2010-12-12T15:43:00.000-08:00

We had a lot of fun with the markers on crazy hair day this year!

Halloween fun

2010-12-12T15:21:00.000-08:00

So when I was little my mom use to let me paint the window for Halloween and I loved it! So I naturally thought it would be a great idea to let my kids do the same. They had a friend come and do it with us and we got to work. I made stencils and they had a great time. One that will never be recreated! Paint is just not meant to come off! It took me forever to get it all off ending with the use of a razor blade. Do not try this at home folks!

Lola's blessing replay

2010-12-12T14:20:00.000-08:00

So I know I already posted about her blessing but I had to get these pics from Ivy's camera since mine died that day. She looked so cute thanks to my friend Krista who let me borrow the dress!

My Girls

2010-10-10T20:28:00.000-07:00

Lola is 7 months and well loved by her sister!

Little Lola

2010-10-10T19:52:00.000-07:00

Here is Lola clapping when she is 7 months. Soon to come is Lola dancing. Yep she does that too and it is adorable! This is Lola laughing when she was 5 months.

The Egg Drop

2010-10-10T19:50:00.000-07:00

At Fox Hollow they do an egg drop in 3rd grade. We had heard that if you put the egg in peanut butter than when they drop it from the roof it doesn't brake. If the lid had not popped off maybe that would be true. But Rhett had a great time!

Emily's Wedding

2010-10-10T19:34:00.000-07:00

All of the kids matched. Me and Tyler sewed Lola and Addi's dresses. They looked adorable! We are so happy for Emily.

Camping at Payson Lakes

2010-10-10T19:29:00.000-07:00

We went camping at Payson Lakes with our friends Josh and Noelle at the end of August. It was FREEZING! We barely left the campfire when we got home we all stunk so bad along with the car, my purse, and Ty's phone. We went to the lake and the kids just had to put on their swimsuits although they never once got in the water.

Lovell Reunion

2010-10-10T19:13:00.000-07:00

This is the Potato car that Tyler made.

For the Lovell Family Reunion we made veggie cars and than had a derby race. The kids loved it. It was a really great idea that I want to copy and do it again.

SWEET BABY

2010-10-10T18:57:00.000-07:00

This is Lola my sweet baby. In this picture she is wearing the dress that I was blessed in. This picture was taken when she was 5 months. She is growing to quickly and I would like for her to stop!

Rhett's birthday #2

2010-10-10T15:46:00.000-07:00

Ok so I know Rhett's birthday was forever ago. But I never got around to posting these pictures.

School

2010-09-02T07:34:00.001-07:00

Both of my kids have now started school. It is a very bitter sweet thing I love having them home.
Rhett started first. He was so excited that he picked out his clothes the night before and then woke up at 7:30 in the morning. Which is much to early especially since school does not start till 9:15. It felt like the longest morning! He also would not let me take him to school. He wanted to ride his scooter. So I said my goodbyes at the door.
Addi started kindergarten just yesterday. I have to admit that I was excited. But when she lined up with her class and was about to walk away from me I got all teary. I bought Addi a new outfit for school so that she could look super cute on her first day. But she insisted on wearing leggings that did not really match and her hello kitty socks sticking out of ballet flats. I almost told her not to wear them, but then I thought I love my Punky Brewster Addi. I don't want to control or change her. So she looked adorably just like herself.
I am so lucky to have these two!

Addi's dress up shoes

2010-08-30T13:42:00.000-07:00

I redid Addi's dress up shoes. She loves these shoes and one day she rode her wiggle car in them and tore up the toe. So I decided to recover them.

Addi's dress I made

2010-08-28T17:31:00.000-07:00

So I woke up at 5:30 with Lola this morning and started sewing in my head so I could not go back to sleep. At 7:00 I was sick of lying there trying to sleep so I got up and started my sewing project. I sewed this out of two old shirts and without a pattern. I am very new to sewing so don't judge it to harshly. But I had a good time and I am pretty happy with the results and so is Addi.

Baptism and Blessings

2010-08-07T19:36:00.000-07:00

We gave Rhett a CTR ring for his baptism. He thinks it is pretty great!

Rhett was baptized on Aug. 7th. We also blessed Lola and since we never blessed Addi we blessed her also. It was a great day!

Rhett's family B-day Party

2010-08-07T19:32:00.000-07:00

We had a little party with just Tyler's parents and Doug and Emily. I made this cake. Rhett wanted Pokemon. He drew the characters.

5 months old

2010-08-05T22:14:00.001-07:00

I can't believe how quickly 5 months has gone by! She is such a sweet baby!

Rhett is 8!!

2010-08-05T18:26:00.000-07:00

How is it possible that my little boy is 8 years old? I just can't believe it. For his birthday he took his best friend Isaac and we went swimming at Ivy's pool. Ivy also made us pizza. He had a great time.

Rhett has always been my sweetheart. He is very in tune to others feelings and hardly ever gets into trouble. We love him so much!

Addi's drawing

4th of July outfits

I sewed the girls 4th of July outfits. It was a fun little project. I also made the flowers in their hair.

Family Reunion

2010-07-08T19:41:00.000-07:00

More pictures of the Reservoir.

Isadora sleeping. So sweet!

The 4th of July parade in Blanding is great. The cousins really enjoyed being together!

Family Reunion

2010-07-08T19:34:00.000-07:00

The Reservoir by Springs house was perfect for a couple of hours of fun. They have a great boat. I really enjoyed tubing!

Family Reunion

2010-07-08T19:30:00.000-07:00

The new rock climbing wall was a lot of fun!

There is also plenty of time to just be goofy. As we all know that I like to do!

Family Reunion

2010-07-08T19:28:00.000-07:00

4 wheeling is one of the favorite things we do also. The boys just can't get enough of it!

Family Reunion

2010-07-08T19:25:00.000-07:00

Family Reunion at Spring's is a lot of fun! There is so much to do. We went on a hike and saw some Indian Ruins.

Sister Getaway

2010-07-08T19:20:00.000-07:00

I just love our sister getaway. This year we just went to Park City because there were three babies so we thought that we would keep it easy. The weather sucked so there was not much to do. So as our last hope for our trip we bought Glee and watched the hole thing.

Rhett's pictures

2010-07-08T18:33:00.000-07:00

These are some of the pictures Rhett took with his camera. Aren't they beautiful!

2 Wheeler

2010-06-15T08:29:00.000-07:00

Addi learned how to ride her bike without training wheels. She loves that she can now keep up with Rhett. She picked it up quickly and she is now piratically an expert.

New Babies

2010-06-07T19:45:00.000-07:00

Stein James Kunic arrived on April 29th at 7:57, 6 lbs 6 oz, 20 inches long.

Lights Motors Action

2010-06-07T10:46:00.000-07:00

Tyler just loved this. Look at the pictures and watch the videos and you will know why. Even I thought it was cool!

Muppets

2010-06-07T10:43:00.000-07:00

They have a lot of really cool 3D movies that spray real water on you and have scents you smell and all kinds of things. They were a great way to get out of the heat and feed Lola!

Indiana Jones

2010-06-07T10:39:00.000-07:00

They had a little show of Indiana Jones showing how they did the action scenes. This is the same cast that came to our AGM in Arizona to do the Indiana show.

Rhett wanted to look like he was holding the Tank gun but it didn't work out very well.

Just check out Addi's muscles!

Toy Story

2010-06-07T10:34:00.000-07:00

This was the ride that we waited in line the longest for. It was about an hour and forty five minute wait. We had heard that it was the best ride at Hollywood studios. It sure was. It had targets you would shoot at which is perfect for Rhett.

Hollywood Studios

2010-06-07T10:29:00.000-07:00

Hollywood Studios baby!
High School musical sang songs in the road. But it was so hot that day that we did not watch them perform many songs. The performers looked nothing like the real people which was a little funny.

Swimming at the Condo

2010-06-07T10:25:00.000-07:00

These pictures are taken at the pool at our condo. It was a great pool. But we were so busy with Disney World that we didn't get to spend much time there.

The drums

2010-06-07T08:39:00.000-07:00

When we walked past these at Animal Kingdom Rhett and Addi just had to play them. They would have some guys play songs all over the park with these drums and other instruments.

Safari ride

2010-06-07T08:36:00.000-07:00

On the Safari ride you go in a Jeep and see real animals.

Characters at Animal Kingdom

2010-06-07T08:25:00.000-07:00

Lilo and Stitch

Winnie The Pooh. I have to admit that Rhett and Addi were not too excited about meeting them.

Animal Kingdom

2010-06-07T07:58:00.000-07:00

This was taken in front of the Dinosaur ride. Which scared the kids to death! Although Rhett later tried to convince us that he is tougher than Addi and this ride didn't even scare him at all.

If you look closely at this picture there is a girl in the tree.

We also went to a Nemo musical at Animal Kingdom which the kids loved. Lola kept us on our toes with a explosive diaper during the show. We had to rush out right after to change her. Thank goodness it only got on her and not on Tyler who was holding her.

Lunch at the Condo

2010-06-03T16:13:00.000-07:00

We had a $100 gift card to spend at the Condo we stayed at. So we got a really nice lunch one day. The kids got to pick whatever they wanted off the menu.

Spectro Magic Parade

2010-06-03T16:01:00.000-07:00

This parade was a lot of fun.

Epcot Center

2010-06-03T15:46:00.000-07:00

Rhett wanted us to take this picture. he wanted it to look like he was holding up the ball.

On the Nemo ride.

Oh no Dori is eating Rhett!

Magic Kingdom

2010-06-03T15:37:00.000-07:00

A picture in front of the Castle. It was really hot the hole time so don't expect any of us to look perfect. Lola was always asleep so all of her pictures are in her stroller. I didn't want to wake her.

They set off fireworks before Magic kingdom closes. We got to see them 2 times.

Dance parade

2010-06-03T15:33:00.000-07:00

This parade was a lot of fun. They lead you through some dancing in the street. I had fun dancing but no one else in my family would dance with me. Oh well I danced hard enough for all of us. :)

Characters at Magic Kingdom

2010-06-03T11:53:00.000-07:00

Stitch was funny. He pretended to walk Addi with her leash. The kids still talk about it.

All of the Toy Story rides were a lot of fun!

The Princess

2010-06-03T11:46:00.000-07:00

Addi loved Cinderella!

Tyler says this is for blackmail. Rhett was not very excited about getting his picture taken with Sleeping Beauty.

ToonTown

2010-06-03T11:43:00.000-07:00

The kids first wanted to go to ToonTown. Rhett loves the game on the computer. Mickey and Minnie were great! This first pic is taken in Mickey's house. Lola slept through all of ToonTown.

Our Arrival

2010-06-03T11:40:00.000-07:00

The kids were so excited to finally get to Disney World. We had some hiccups like Rhett and Addi forgetting there backpacks so we had to go back to our condo. We finally got there at about 12. We packed in PB&J sandwiches, chips and drinks so that we would not have to waste money on food.
This is the kids looking over Magic Kingdom.

Day 1 Disney World

2010-06-03T09:15:00.000-07:00

We got to our Condo at about 6:00 PM so we didn't get to go to Disney world. We decided to stay at the Condo and go swimming. So we threw a frozen pizza in the oven and had a nice relaxing evening!

AGM Family Event

2010-06-03T08:23:00.000-07:00

The kids loved all the blow up toys they had at the family event. They had a hole bunch of them!

eating dinner. It was really yummy!

Beautiful sunset!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The ending of this book was so good it made me almost forget about some of the things that bugged me. I hate that they tell you the same things over and over again. I remember what happened in the book 10 pages ago you don't have to revise again. Also sometimes the author likes to stand on a soap box. I think that it i...s hypocritical of the author to keep saying that it is what is on the inside that counts. Yet all the Characters that matter in the book are beyond beautiful.

2010-05-19T16:32:00.000-07:00

It is always fun to have a night away from the kids. I really had a good time this year at the formal!

The entertainment or part of it.

My kids always love the pool and so do I! We also were right on the beach. :)

AGM day 1

2010-05-19T16:27:00.000-07:00

This year Tyler's work took us to the Marco Islands in Florida for the Annual General Meeting. On the first day they have the welcome dinner. Where we had yummy panini sandwiches. Then us and the Deckers (my sister and her family) took the kids swimming. They could not wait any longer. I just love that my sister Holly's husband works for the same company so that we can go to these things together!

Addi's 5th Birthday

2010-05-19T13:18:00.000-07:00

Addi picked the picture for her invites. We thought it was perfect. This is exactly the kind of Princess Addi is!

Addi opened her presant from us early in the morning before Rhett went to school.

Then we took her to Mcdonald's for lunch.

Later that day she had her Party. There were tons of little girls there! I think there were 11 or 12. They first did a craft. Making wands and Crowns.

We also had Cupcakes and Ice Cream and of course she had to have a pinata. It all went great and Addi had a wonderful time.
