For some reason we can't hold onto vehicles!

We currently own a car, a truck, and a dirtbike. But, we have owned many in our marriage. Come take a look at what I mean. It's kind of scary...

Kevin's Current Car: '06 Toyota Tundra
Krystina's Current Car: '08 Subaru Legacy
Kevin's Current Bike: '05 Honda CRF 450r
Krystina's 1st car: 2000 Toyota Camry






Kevin's '98 Chevy S-10 he had up till we got married

Kevin's WRX that he still misses




Kevin's '97 Toyota T100 which he sold for the Tundra

'92 Toyota Camry Wagon we bought from Kevin's parents then sold

Kevin's bike, which he still owns.

1st Dirtbike Kevin owned: '04 YZ 250F


Kevin's Specialized Demo 8 which he sold
Kevin's 2nd dirtbike: '06 YZ450

Kevin's '05 Suzuki GSXR 750. This is the toy he misses the most.


Kevin's 3rd dirtbike: '04 Honda CR 250R

Kevin's 4th dirtbike: '09 Suzuki RMZ 450
Krystina's 1st bike: 06 YZ 125, too heavy for me.

Sept 3rd Bike Recovery

The week before kevin went dirtbiking with his buddy dustin up the canyon. They got lost and stuck miles away from civilization.Kevin will write the detailed story soon. Here are the pictures.

this is the spring that saved their lives when they ran out of water

The rescue crew

Home upgrades

Master Bedroom: There's no need for a before photo, the room had cream walls with cream trim.  



Guest room Before: The nursery was also this color. Yuck! You are luckily missing the dolphin wallpaper that they used for the ceiling trim in this room. It took about two hours to take it down.
Guest room After: I bought those sconces a while back, I knew they would come in handy :)

I know the painting is too small for that wall, but that is it's current home until I find a better  place.


Nursery after painting, but before furnishing:
My finished nursery pictures will come soon, I'm still not done with it!
Our downstairs spare room before: Yes that is American flag wallpaper with a schoolhouse drop ceiling, exposed piping and the foundation is exposed as a shelf. Yucko!

Kevin decided to take on the task of putting in a ceiling and making that wall flush.
The after pictures will come soon...

Other Upgrades:

Front room before:
Front Room After: I got the mirror for 30 bucks from a RCWilley clearance sale and the blanket from my good friend Sarah Newey for our wedding! The couches are from Kevin's Parents :)


Dining Room Before: Fancy dining area fan right?! Wrong...
Dining room after: Kevin installed a pretty chandelier!

Family Room Before:

Family room After: photos also need to be taken...sorry!

Roxanne

July 15th, 2010

I came home from work and saw Kevin looking at puppies for sale on KSL.
This was the picture that stole our hearts.
We went and got her that day!
This is a picture of her first night in her new home :)

That pig ear was as big as her head!

Exploring her new backyard...


We took her on a hike up to a waterfall by our house the next morning for my birthday! She did so good on the leash, but she hated the water! Now we dread taking her on walks... 


She was so little then! 

Kevin called her rocky for short, and it just stuck. 
She now is only called Roxanne when she is up to no good... 
which is still pretty often ;)

Robin's Egg

June 3, 2010
 A Robin made a nest on our overhang on our back porch.
Our sweet neighbor Ida told us it was good luck to have them pick us. :)
 Kevin and I already had a pretty good idea what that luck was.

Lucky was right, a week later on June 10th I took a pregnancy test... you can guess what it said.

Our good friends the Valenzuela's came down from Provo to our place for dinner that weekend, they were the first people we told, other than our close family!

And I took this of Kevin because I have a crush on him :)

Jun 14th, the Eggs hatched!!
June 17th, the babies are a little less fuzzy
June 24th, they are almost ready to fly. They grow up so fast.. *Tear * 
The next day they flew away into the big scary world!
A few weeks later on July 14th, 2010. 
We get to see our baby for the first time, for free!
This was the best birthday present!
We love our little peanut, but its kind of sad to see how slow my progression compared to those Robin's!

Home Sweet Home

June 2010
I love the summer, and I am so excited for it to warm up again.
Here are some pictures of our yard from last summer.

Yes I have rosebushes! They are all pruned now ready for the spring.
Our backyard and by the wood fence is the location of Kevins "dream" shop.

The trees along the back fence are strategically placed to hide the HUGE, two story workshop our neighbor, a widower named Mike, has in his backyard.

Our front yard. Our brother Trent ripped out the fence for us right before winter came.

We love our neighbor dog Aspen!

SPOILER ALERT: Aspen is Rocky's BFF.
