Tennis, Party, Tree Climbing, and Demo...not neccessarily in that order

Wow it's been a crazy month! Between attempting to get settled and everything else I feel like I've been running around...but not.... I think what happened first was my little brother coming to town so I'll start there.

BYU invited the UNCW Tennis team to come play against them at BYU and coincidentally my brother Michael is on the UNCW tennis team so I got to see him! I thought we would be spending a bit of time together, but that was not quite the case. Mostly it was me watching a lot of tennis...which is ok...better than watching golf, fishing, or any other slow sport. I tried to get a few awesome pictures of him playing since he plans of becoming pro...although it appears I didn't get one of us together. Oops. I mostly talked with my older brother and his family as we were watching him play.

Ok so then, or somewhere in the month of April...Victoria started climbing trees...with NO shoes! She is quite the climber, but I figured since she's up there I better get a few pics before I yell at her for climbing the tree (jk...i didn't yell at her...just told her to be careful).

I think pretty much a week or so after we moved in John started "demo-ing" the old rooms in the house that are to become our office and library. It has been a lot of work. Right now it's just three old bedrooms that now is one HUGE one and boards and dust and old nails. It's blocked off thankfully. But he's been working hard and it should look awesome when he's done (as most things that he works on do end up looking awesome). So here's the hole in our new house...and actually since taking this picture the hole has gotten larger...and the room messier. Save me!

So now the fun part, we had our first housewarming party this past Saturday. It was a great turn out and I believe most people had fun. :) We had a taco bar and drinks and then most of the time everyone chatted instead of playing rock band. There were probably 10 or more kids in the house...and then the adults. But since our house is so big I think I hardly noticed. It wasn't cramped at all. At one point a "ball war" broke out. Lots of plastic balls were being tossed from the third floor to the second floor. And it was mostly the adults playing because we are SO mature! I had a blast! And that's our most recent update...lots of stuff going on in our lives right now...mostly fun. Keep looking for more updates. :)
