My Sweet little Anadel
 before her first day of First Grade.

                                               
                                                    Anadel and her teacher Ms. Hoffman
                                        at her Kindergarten graduation musical performance.

Anadel Loves her new school. They have such sweet teachers and amazing programs. 
Such as Seven Habits of Happy Kids by Steven Covey, as part of their curriculum and leadership skills.


                       Our new home in South Jordan (Daybreak) Utah. Yes, we moved!
Ben was offered a raise and higher position in the company so we took it and sold our little tiny 1950's fixer-upper in California (in March) for a brand new home in Utah with 4 bedroom 4 bathrooms and a walk out unfinished basement.

The community is master planned and voted 1# community to live with it's energy efficient homes. With amazing lakes, views and cool parks with zip lines, splash pads, rope climbing gyms and river water pools. We have use of the free boats and the daybreak gym as well. It has been truly a blessing for us and our ward is amazing.

Our ward takes in a 3 block radius and will be dividing soon because we are getting to big for the chapel. They had to bless the sacrament twice on Sunday because there weren't enough sacrament trays to go around.

Our back porches and master bedroom have spectacular views too. You can see the mountain range and valley from Salt Lake City to the Draper Temple. 4th of July was quite a site this year as we watched the entire valley setting off fireworks from our back porch.

        Front Porch
Here are a few teaser photos of our home so far. Still have to work on some wall art and lighting.

Part of our top back deck. Finally had a place for our outdoor couch and our old white round table.
Bottom deck we will be adding a bed swing for fun and lot of outdoor lights under the deck.

                                                             Our front living room
                                                     Kitchen and table of Great room
                        Our front formal dining table we use as overflow and for fun board games.
                                                       Ben's music and man cave room
                                                                  Great room couch
Great room couch area with fireplace. Like our fun horse head on the wall above the TV. He needs a scarf or wreath around his neck I think. :)


Took a family trip to one of my favorite places in Utah. Thanks Giving Point Farm. Anadel loved this white horse with ghostly beautiful blue eyes and even named her Sweetness. We are thinking of putting her in horseback riding lessons, since she loves being a little cowgirl and riding ponies so much.
