Remember the movie "The Money Pit"?

So we don't have a money pit, but we have a time pit. The renters moved out of our rental property and we decided that we just didn't want to do the Landlord thing anymore, so we've decided to sell it. Now to the time pit thing . . . the home is in really good shape but needed to be cleaned, painted, etc. To sell the home we also decided the kitchen needed to be updated . . . when you see the pictures, you'll understand. And so, our adventure began about 6 weeks ago. We ripped everything out of the kitchen and begun the task of remodeling and reassembling the kitchen. Oh, how long everything takes when you have 2 kids needing your attention. This is also why I have severely neglected my blog . . . not that hundreds of people follow it, (okay maybe only 5). So now for the fun part. I have included before and after pictures of our "time pit" project.

Oh, how time flies when you are having fun! Now it just needs to sell. Any takers?

Run Cheryl Run

Now that Wesley is going to turn one next month, I have no excuse to still be trying to lose the "baby weight". Luckily the weather has decided to turn warmer so I can exercise outside. I am also lucky because there is a great group of women in my neighborhood that want to get out and exercise as well so, we go out at night and run/walk. Well, I have decided to take it a step further (with some coaxing from someone . . . you know who you are) to run a 10K in about a month. I am in week 3 of my training schedule and have to say that it is going better than I thought.

That certain someone seems to wield some crazy powers, because "I think" she has convinced me to run the Provo River half marathon in August. I did print out the registration form . . . I just have to mail it in. What have I gotten myself into??? I'm sure you will hear back soon about this part of my life.

Random Pictures

Here are a few pictures of the kids from the last few months.

The "kids" enjoying the carousel at South Towne Mall.

A quick visit to the hospital to meet baby Lucas. He is so adorable!

This is a picture with the kids in their Easter outfits.

This is how my picture taking usually goes.

Andres and Siehara's Wedding

Andres and Siehara got married on Saturday April 11th at the Mt. Timpanogas Temple. Siehara of course looked beautiful. After the wedding they had a reception at a nearby chapel. It looked great, the food was great and everyone had a great time.

Here is a picture of my handsome boys!!

Lydia was tearing up the dance floor. She loves dancing and pretty much danced the entire night.

And here I am, trying to make Wesley fall asleep amongst all the loud music and chaos. He finally did and slept for a good hour.

Uraguayan Night and Easter Egg Hunt

Since Rafael's parents were in town for Andres (Rafael's brother) and Siehara's wedding, we decided to have a family get together. We usually have a Uraguayan night, where everyone brings some type of Uraguayan dish and so what better time to do that, then when his parent's were here.

We also decided to have a fun Easter Egg Hunt for the kids since Easter was only a few days away. Here is Lydia getting ready to go find some eggs.

Here are the girls after they collected their spoils.

Baby Shower for Baby Lucas

My sister-in-law Debbie is having a baby boy at the end of April, so we had a baby shower to celebrate Baby Lucas. I got to play hostess and of course, got to try out my cake decorating skills again. I think I am getting better, and was actually rather proud of my latest creation.

Thanks for everyone's help at the shower!
