pictures of the house

This is our new home!!! We are going to closing the first week in aug. and we'll repaint and re carpet the first few days and then be able to move our stuff in:) We went over yesterday to measure the carpet to see how much we needed to get. We took the kids for the first time and they also seemed excited to see where they would be living. We're looking to stay here 5-10 years and then move to something bigger. For now this is just perfect for us. Kaylee will go to kindergarten next year and they are currently remodeling the school that she'll be at. The park and the golf course with trails is a few blocks away, which will make summers nice.

After we left the house, we went to look at carpet samples. It was fun picking out things that we liked and this is an area of the house that Aaron is looking forward to doing, b/c it will be ours.

Bryce has had a fever the last day and half, so yesterday we took him into the insta care place and waited 2 1/2 hours to be seen by the dr. for 5 min. I suspected he had an ear infection ( he just had his first 2 months ago) and we were able to get him some medicine and we went home. I swear, things always happen on the weekend! But I just want him to get better and back to his happy, smiling self that is always wanting to go outside:)



This is it!!!! Our HOME:)

This is the view from the side. It has a little shed for storage, but we'll eventually build a garage there. The side yard needs some work, but that will happen eventually too.

This is the view from the kitchen, where it looks to the entrance and the family room upstairs. It's a split entry, which we had in spokane and I don't like that much, but will do for now. Lots of great natural light. The bedrooms are then down the hall to the left of this picture. There are two upstairs and then one downstairs that is done. I think for now we'll all just be upstairs and then later we can rearrange.


Upstairs bathroom- we are going to redo the flooring and later do tile in the shower area.


Kitchen- We are replacing the floor with either laminate or tile and then I'd like to maybe get an island for more storage and counter space. We'll see, but overall i'm happy with the kitchen. It's got good space and since i'm in there a lot:), it has to be open.


The backyard is totally fenced in, which I like so that the kids can play without running in to street (cal de sac I should say). The grass needs some work, but there is also plenty of room for a garden for next summer:) I used to hate helping out with the garden when I was growing up, but now I can see why my parents did it. It helps with food costs and is part of the home ownershsip experience.
