Extreme Home Makeover came to our neck of the woods this past month. Only 3 miles from our house! Since I watch this show faithfully, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go and check things out. Jason, Lily and I went to see the house going up. Matt decided he didn't want to.
Here is the finished product. I just took a quick picture from my car, because by this time, the family was back in the house and I didn't want to bug them by taking pics of their home out on the sidewalk. The house is kind of small, but very pretty. It's in a great location with the school a block away, a park just down the street and a man made beach across the street to a lake. Very cool area! I'm told the show for this one will be in September 2011. It's about a single mom and 2 kids. Her son has 2 types of blood disorders.
Here is a pic of the backyard of our home. Not an extreme home makeover, but definitely fun and we love it. The previous residents left a turtle sandbox (empty) when they left, so I cleaned it out really well, and Lily loves it a splash pool (or, as she calls it, her swimming cool).
I just took these pics this weekend. Matt was going with his dad's family for pictures, so he was waiting for his dad to bring his shirt. I did Lily's hair with some mousse and a diffuser to bring out her curls and then did an updo, because it was so hot. Such cuties!
Matt, Lily and I went with some of Matt's friends and their mom to a water conservation park. It was a very hot day, but pretty cool little place. Lots of different types of plants, flowers, etc. plus ideas of what to do with your yard and plants for the weather here in Utah.
Pic of Lily's curls. Her hair is getting so long! It actually goes to the bottom of her shoulder blades when it's down.
Lily is a fish. She LOVES water. We have automatic sprinklers at our new house, but some of them just aren't working quite right, so I've been turning on the manual sprinklers in the evenings. Luckily for Lily, she gets to run through them almost daily! Here are some pics of her playing in the water, and smelling the roses in our front yard.
Matt and friend at the Water Conservation Park playing in the sand. He claims he was bored, but as you can see, he's not too cool to play in the sandbox!
