April

April seemed like it went by in a flash. Grama Lene came for a few more weeks with Grandma Rosy to finish the deal on their Ghost Ranch house and buy furnishings for it. Then Dan finally got started with his business called, "Brintcor". About a year in the making he finally got going with it. He and his sister are flipping houses here in Casa Grande. So far it has been very successful. But do I ever see Dan.... no. Right now he is flipping two more houses and wants to have them completed by the time twins are born. I have to say it is very impressive what can be done with a house that looks like a junkyard in just a matter of weeks. Dan is putting his heart and soul into this business in the hopes that one day he can quit his day job and do this full time. Which I think would be fantastic.



This is an after picture of the house he flipped in April. Imagine huge weeds overgrown everywhere, the trees totally overgrown, the garage door was definetly not a shiny white. The interior was a different story... they installed new flooring, paint, among other things. The backyard had 9 citrus trees and a heated pool, rv covering. It was quite a unique property in an ideal location. Dan had the place sparkling within three weeks and it sold with multiple offers in a matter of hours after it went on market. Lets hope for the same blessing again!



Me before my baby shower. 31 weeks, I think. My friends in the ward threw a baby shower for me and this is how great they are:
700 diapers
20 bottles of formula
a large bin full of blankets
and enough baby boy clothes for a year
I should have taken a picture of the diaper cake that Jen and Jocey made. It was so cute and creative, Dan just thought it was the neatest thing he'd ever seen. All the little car toys almost made him cry!



We also went to the Tucson zoo AGAIN, this time with Maysa's preschool. It is such a good little zoo though, perfect for small children.








Dan's 35th birthday.... This cake was but a short memory. It was completely devoured by the next morning. Who doesn't love black forest cake for breakfast!
