So, I thought I'd start off with a picture of our NEW HOUSE:
After getting the run around from our landlord on how long we could continue to rent before he "let the house go"...we decided we had better start looking. So, we found this great foreclosure and made an offer and ended up getting the house. We moved in the end of June; thanks to alot of help from my sister Kim and Jared's parents!!This SHOULD be our LAST move for ALONG time (or at least for 5 years until the Vegas housing market settles down some). Luckily, we were able to find a house with a third car garage (tandem 3rd car) to store all of our stuff from our Utah basement (since the homes in Vegas don't have basements). Here is a picture of Jared getting it organized after our move.
And to go along with the NEW house......a NEW LEATHER COUCH AND CHAIR!!!
This is so BIG; it is actually deserving of its own post......something like "One of these pictures is not like the other....." followed by pictures of our family rooms with the old couches in every place we have lived during the last ELEVEN years of marriage expect our new house in Vegas. But, you know me and posting....so here they are. We finally got rid of the brown, bumpy hand-me-down couches we got from Grandpa and Grandma Cisney when we were first married. After seven moves and eleven years it was almost sad to see them go. Here's to another 11 years with some NEW brown couches!!Here is a NEW photo of the boys in their matching outfits for the 4th of July!
Followed by an even HOTTER one.....the boys watching the Summerlin Fourth of July Parade. It was pretty toasty at 9am; but the boys did better than we thought. Isaac especially liked the "fire engines" and "motorcycles"!
Drew is really enjoying his NEW DIET courtesy of Grandma Truman and Grandpa Frost!!
For those of you shocked right now, please note that it is at least CAFFEINE FREE Coke that we feed Drew! (j/k the can is EMPTY; I promise)!!And of course, LOTS of NEW family photos from our FUN TRIP to Utah.

Finally, I just wanted to note that Drew has become the NEWEST mover and shaker of the family. He started crawling the day we returned home from Utah. And now he is all over the place and LOVES to pull himself up. I won't bore you with the long videos of his first shakey crawls; but thought I would added to all the NEW items.

I think the thing I'm most excited for is the new couches. It's about time, SERIOUSLY! If you sat on your old couches wrong you were gauranteed a metal enema...
These are cute pictures Carolee. We had a great time seeing you guys and your sweet boys
I was totally going to write about breaking my tailbone on your old couches, but Crystal beat me to it. Instead I'll just ask -- how did you manage to take such a terrible picture of my cute little boy? For those of you who don't know, Henry has actually been granted the title of "cutest baby ever born." In fact, the day he was born the hospital made an announcement that everyone else can just go ahead and stop having kids.
P.S. Sweet new house. And I'm sure Jared is glad he doesn't have to mow the lawn.
Jared and Carolee,
You've got a beautiful family, and it has been fun to catch up on your lives a bit on your blog. Congrats on the job and the new house!
Sweet pics! Your house looks exactly like the one we came and visited you in YEARS ago- that was Jer's response. I honestly can't remember..... The boys look great. I can't belive how big the Drew is getting. Awesome on crawling- we aren't quite there yet. Anyday I think. Man, that really changes things when they are mobile..... We would love to see you guys next time you are up, I can't believe the Frost fam reunion has been CANCELLED
I loved seeing your new couches--they are beautiful. You guys certainly deserved new ones--I also sat on the old ones a little to quickly and it wasn't fun!! It was so fun to spend time with everyone--thanks for coming up--the boys are so cute and so fun!
Wow, I think those couches deserve a memorial service! They are practically part of the family, even if they are like unto the crotchety old aunt that no one likes... still family! :)
The house is beautiful, and best of all... no lawn to mow. I'm about ready to move to Vegas just to get rid of the lawn!
The boys look so cute! It was so fun to get to see you! I hope we get to see you again soon!
Love the pic of Drew with the ice cream...he's definitely a Truman! :) Thanks for FINALLY catching us up...and including lots of pictures of your adorable boys.
Love the new house! Love all the pictures! Your kids are so cute and growing up so fast!
Hey! Now that you live around the corner, we need to get our little ones together!
