Hello! So, it has been very eventful as of late. We finally finished painting our house. It looks so great and it is so nice to have done. We LOVE it. We pretty much painted the whole house, but it is still a light color. The paint is nicer now though (semi gloss), no more sand paper flat paint. It probably works good for some people, but it was awful for us and our 2 boys. Whenever food was flung on the wall and I would clean it off, the paint came right off too. Now the paint is really slick and smooth, you could even rub your face on it and it would feel good. So, feel free to come by to rub your face on it. (just kidding) Anyhow, I like the boys room best. I wish the whole fam damily could just sleep in their room all the time, it is very cheerful.
And, we recently went and picked blackberries and I now feel like I am the mom from "Little House on the Prairie", because we picked our own berries and then I came home and made a blackberry pie out of our pickens. So domestic - right? The pie was very tasty, it was me and Toph's weakness for a couple of days.
Here are some 4th of July picts too. We had so much fun. We went to the Edmond parade and then went swimming in the back yard in our little pool. Then we had a BBQ with some friends and watched the fireworks. It was a lot of good times. We did manage to have a delicious free snow cone at the parade too, because what is the 4th without fireworks and snowcones! Anyhow, things are great!
Picking blackberries at the farm. Miles was a pro and Jack even got the hang of it.
All of our delicious berries.
The pie got wolfed. Anytime Toph got the pie out I came a runnin.
At the parade.
Jack at the parade. (I like this picture)
We just gave Jack his first buzz and now they look like twins.
We painted a brownish accent wall behind our entertainment center and also painted the entry way the same color. 
The boys room is green on 2 walls and blue on 2 walls. It is so boyish and cheery. When Miles saw it for the first time he said, "This is like cool." They really like it and their bunks that Toph finished for them.
This is the office/nursery. We painted it brown and put a chair rail up high. My mom wants to get us a new crib set, so we're going to get one that is brown, I think it will be cute.
Anyhow, sorry there were so many paint picts, I just wanted you to get the feel.

Love the paint... i LOVE the green in the boys room. I may have to get the name of it. If you decide you have energy to paint more, feel free to come to my kids' room.
Hannah is looking at the pics with me & she saw the nursery & asked who's room it was. I told her you were having a new baby, she said: they are giving jack away!?! Haha. I corrected myself & said having ANOTHER baby.
Good Job Carma!! The house looks great!! And is there really a baby in your belly? Aren't you what, like almost 7months along? You look great!!
LOVE the paint!!! I want to come see it in person! can I?
Your house looks so cute! Good paintin'!
I am so impressed that you have the energy to paint being so prego. Can you believe we are going to have 3 boys soooo soon. Are you ready? I'm not. Some days I think about having another one and think I'm way too young to be having my third kid. CRAZY. It wasn't that long ago we were chilling with Mrs. Durfey. Any who... Your paint job looks great!
How cute is your house!- and your little family. I love how you guys painted. I'm sure you're glad that is over. My dreams of having our own place to decorate is just that- a dream. One day....
I can't believe how big Jack and Miles are and how much they look alike. I am excited to see how similar your next little guy will be to his older brothers. And I am excited to hear what you name him- you guys always choose such cute names.

We'll just be there for the tournament on Saturday , they usually start around 9 or so in the morning and then end around 5. I'm not sure where the park is at, I'll have to have Pila find that out. After that we're driving to Utah since we will already be 4 hours into our drive!! I'm so excited!! Yeah I'll call you, it would be way fun to see you, I know our kids would have fun together!!
I'm impressed with the pie and the great paint! I'm getting ready to paint too. I'm glad you had a fun 4th. I missed you in Richfield; I miss you always though.

Carma! This is Hannah Tanner from Delta. It is so fun to read what you're up to! It seems so long ago that we were at UVSC together, and even longer since we ran races against each other. You have such a cute little family. Hope you don't mind if I stop in and see how you're doing every so often. Feel free to do the same.
