The New Place

Someday I'll get it. I'll figure out how to put pictures up on here in the right order. Until then...
The back porch. If you look beyond the cement wall way in the back that is the apple orchard. I guess there was a late freeze last year so we have only found ONE apple! Sad day huh. Next season I guess.

The super cool, super huge back yard. We LOVE being out here!

My favorite part. The multi-colored carpet. The light is new, the blue was in the entire house except for the brown, indoor/outdoor that is in the kitchen. The brown and blue are going when we can put wood floors in. Nice huh. I bet you all want carpet like this now! :0)

Chloe's room. The colors will match the pictures on the wall, teal, pink brown, etc. The bedspread fits so it is on there for now. I also have some super cute fabric I'm going to make drapes out of. It will be way cute when it is done.

The boy's room. We are going to do a vintage airplane/ Wright brothers theme. Again, everything is a work in progess.

The front. The house is like 30 years old. We are excited for some eventual updates.

My super cute entry way. I found this birdcage at Hobby Lobby for $8.50! Love it!

The family room. Nice, comfy, casual. I didn't want this to be another formal living and it has so far worked out great. Again, I found some super cute fabric to make curtains and we are going to put bookcases on the wall where the chair is someday.

Kitchen and part of the great room. I'm loving having this one huge room!

Another view of the kitchen/great room.

We have lots of dreaming with this home. All of it is going to take a long while to accomplish but we are loving being able to dream. I'll add updated pictures as rooms get done.

Newest Addition

Meet the newest member of our family. This is Jessi (we call her Jess). She is a Vizsla that joined our family the same day our stuff joined our new house. It was a pretty crazy weekend. Seth wasn't sure if his flight out of Durango was going to leave, the dog was already on a plane from Chicago and we had a garage full of our stuff that we needed to get. It all worked out and we are all totally in love with her. She is smart, cute and loads of fun (already so much like the other 3).

I told Seth that he was going to have to get up with HIS baby in the night since I got up with the other 3. Much to my dismay, she has only whined twice at the most, goes potty and right back to sleep.

The kiddos are really loving her and love to show her off!

And, when she isn't in her kennel, the kids have found a new use for it for me! Shhh, but sometimes I'd rather it be this way than the dog in here! ;)
She knows she is the baby around here. I found her outside asleep in the stroller the other day.

4th of July

So, our 4th of July festivities weren't too exciting this year. Del and Lina came up and painted and we played some serious Catan (which, we can no longer do we will all end up hating each other, pretty intense stuff). We did the traditional cookout with homemade ice cream. We had sparklers for the kids and then met some people from the ward down the road to watch the fireworks. What can I say, when everything you own except for the kitchen stuff is in boxes, its hard to want to celebrate much. We did have fun though and even though we didn't celebrate, we are so thankful for this country, our freedoms and those men and women that have and are serving to help keep it that way. God bless America!
