Here is our entry way. It looks alot like our other house that we loved.And you gotta have a TV in your room for movie night

This is one of the favorite things in my house. A nice shower with lots of heads.

And this is the other side of the shower.

stackable washer and dryer in our closet. Our laundry room is upstairs for the kids so it's nice I can do ours in our room.

Well that is some of my house. If you want to see the rest you need to come visit. j/k

We are finally in our new house and loving it. I will post some pictures soon.

Finally Moving

I haven't posted in so long. We have started moving into our house the last couple of days. The painter is not done yet and some of the carpet isn't in but we are moving things into the rooms that are done. It is taking forever. We plan on being completely moved in and the house we are renting being completely clean by Saturday. We wont have the carpet on our stairs in until Tuesday and who knows how the long the painter has left, so things will probably stay pretty dusty which is a bummer but eventually we will have a put together and organized house. And then I think of all the projects that we still need to do : tile the kitchen backsplash, buy a furniture sink for the office bath, make a furniture sink for the half bath, paint the garage floor, seal the travertine and flagstone, pipe the sprinklers, etc.... Ok I am officially never moving again! These last 5 months have been really long. It will be so good to be settled again.

Graduations

Last night we went to Katelyn's 5th grade graduation. I can't believe she is going to be in 6th grade. She is growing up so fast - she will be driving in 4 more years. Crazy.Today we went to Avrie's preschool graduation. She is so excited for kindergarten. It is a wierd feeling having all of my kids in school in a couple of months.

As you can see I love our house and would love to get it done so we can move into it!

Last night our ward had the pine wood derby. The boys had lots of fun making their cars. Kyle won 1st place in his pack and Tyler won 3rd in his. They were so excited to get trophys!Last night I also snapped some pictures of the house. This is our upstairs hallway that we covered in wood. Can't really see the wood cuz its covered in cardboard for protection.

I love how our rock and brick combonation turned out. Thanks Dad for the design help.

I love how it is looking. Our stucco isn't exactly the color that we were thinking. I'ts hard to pick colors off of a little sample but anyway we are starting to like it more everyday. We are still waiting for the ironwork that goes underneath the big window on the top right. There will also be a black hanging light above the arched front door. You can't see the garage doors in this picure but they are a brown color that matches the corbels. Our cabinets are started and today we pick countertops. I hope we can make it by the end of the month.
