Our Zion

The moment for all those who have been desperately waiting to see our house, aka:Stephanie.

This is the view from the front door into our living room. 

These are our couches, in our living room, what a coincidence! ;) But do take note of the picture on the left that was my gift to Quynn it's a picture of some of our founding fathers signing the decleration, Ben franklin is crying with tears of joy.  I saw this picture and knew that my husband would appreciate it! His love for his country and the founding fathers continues to grow especially at this time. Love you Quynn!

This is our fireplace with some halloween deco on top.  One day behind the fireplace we'll have a rock wall! I'm super excited for that!

This is the other side of the living room looking into the conservatory, notice my cute witch I won at Bunko!! Yes, Bunko I LOVE bunko nights with my girlfriends in Lehi!! WOOT WOOT!

This is our conservatory room, It's a bit messy so there won't be much pictures of this! But this is our most prized possession our baby grand piano.  We're "storing" it for gma and gpa Udell, it's played ALL the time! It bring so much happiness to this home! I LOVE MUSIC!!! Especially when Quynn creates it, hopefully our kids will learn how to play on this piano!

And this is our kitchen "the heart" of every home.  Notice Quynn's beautiful job at laying down our tile! :)This is a work in progress, and will be for some time! We've got grand ideas for this room!

This is the kitchen nook, and our temporary table until we can build our own built in kitchen nook table.  The table is set for dinner with our gma and gpa Harrison and Jessica. We will be having ministrone soup, canned peaces from previous blog post, and bread.  Hope the soup turns out! And all of the wood will one day be covered in stone to give the effect of dining in Italy! 

Our Bathroom! :)

Quynn's throne!! Tee Hee!

Welcome to a touch of AFRICA!! Yes MY favorite room!! Notice my wonderful giraffe that my father in law had hoped I'd forget about. ;) The pictures that aren't very visible were chinese paintings of animals in Africa drawn by Jessica! She's amazing at art work!! 

Here's another view of Africa with our African masks and a lion carved out of wood! and again notice the beautiful giraffe to the side! :) 

Well that's all for now! Hope you've enjoyed this virtual tour of our humble abode! Our Zion!! 

Happy Birthday Mommy Dear

Happy Birthday momma! I had such a fun time going bowling at Fat Cats, with people I love! It was Jacobs first time bowling and it was so fun to watch him bowl! He did better then me!! ;)

Then Jacob started picking teams depending on what our scores were, I was on his team then got demoted.  Finally he realized Quynn was doing great and my mom was doing pretty good! High 5!

Mom! I am so grateful for you! I am so thankful for all you've done for me and for all your selfless acts of love! I'm grateful for your passion in music and for pushing me to keep mine! We're winners not quitters! I'm grateful for your testimony of Love and Faith! But most importantly I'm grateful for you! Thank you for being my Mother! XO

Mupps turned 5

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday dear sweet Jacob, muppalous! Happy Birthday to you! September 21st was my little brother's birthday and he turned 5, that's a whole hand!! Jacob decided for his birthday that him and 5 friends would get together and race around a race track on their bikes! So of course I had to buy him some racing gear, thanks to Wal Mart and it being so close to Halloween I found just what I needed! And boy did he look great! I think my special gift also helped him to win all the races...na he's just the all star child! :) Way to go Jacob you're #1. XO

I'm gonna be a Mighty Queen so enemies beware!

So four months ago I get a phone call from Quynn telling me to schedule out the night of September 26th for a special date night.  Well you know me, I HAD to figure out this surprise!  So, after question after question he refused to tell me and said I'd just have to wait, but he said "it's something that you're going to LOVE!!!!" Well everyone knows my obsession with Africa and how much I want to go there.  Quynn knows we can't afford going to Africa but he wanted to get me as close as he could....so he bought tickets to go see Lion King on Broadway at the Capital Theatre!! HOLY COW!!! I did figure it out before September 26th ;) but it was STILL an amazing night with fun and laughter! We spent our night with Buck and Anna, our cousins, I had a blast getting to know them better! And as far as Lion King went I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! I could see that show once a month for the rest of my life!! Better yet, I should just live in Africa!!! ;) I'm working on my ROAR!!
