Home Sweet Home

So we are finally in our beautiful new home and we are so excited to be here. For how long we have been talking about moving, looking for a house and now to actually be in it....its about time is all I can say!!! We love the area and are looking forward to making new friends. The kids have been off track this week so its been a little rough not knowing anyone really yet so we have had to be creative and think of some fun stuff to do. But it wont be long before the house is full with kids again.

We moved in last weekend, hired some movers to move all the big stuff which I have to say was sooooo worth it. Then we moved all the other stuff with the help of family and friends. Thank you all!! I was able to get everything pretty much put away over the weekend too which was nice to have it all done and now just enjoy being here. We sold a lot of are old stuff on KSL (love ksl) So we were able to get some new stuff, so thats been fun to redecrate:) Also got some stuff on KSL.
So here a few pic of the new digs.




Love it!!



Entry way (got the little table on ksl)








My favorite room!! I was able to redo the master bedroom.




Kitchen and I am loving the red. (kitchen table from ksl and its new!!)









Mckaela's room. My mom and I painted it the same as her old room, its just to cute to not use it all again. Addisons room is not done because we will be making changes soon when she get into a big bed, which wont be long:(
Brendan loves his room mostly because he gets the biggest room out of all of them. The colors were perfect too with what he had. The whole house is just perfect for us. We really feel lucky to be here.

Looking doing to the family room.
Anyway thats it...

Starting off to a good start

Ok so I have been told that I don't up date this enough. So for those three people that actually read this, here ya go:)


Well the kids were off for UEA Thursday and Friday, so I decided we needed to go have ourselves some fun. Now that October is here...(crazy) We decided to go pick out our pumpkins, and than head over to Gardner Village for a day of fun. They have all the witches out now and there were lots of fun activities, food and things to do. The kids really had fun just walking around, of course getting their faces painted and picking out treats. It turned out to be such a fun day and it was warm:) One day its 80 the next it was 55. So not ready for this!!


With cousins, Kaitlin, Kolby and Abby.

hangin with the witches..
after they got their face painted.

Sweet girls:)



Since we will be moving in the next few weeks we really wont be getting all the Halloween decorations out, so I thought we could at least put our pumpkins on the porch for now and that might make it seem like Halloween is on it's way.













Well Brendan is officially a big boy!! He has lost his first tooth, and let me tell you he was sooooooooo excited about it. One day last week we discovered that one of his teeth were just a little loose, he would play with it, wiggle it and check it every five minutes to see if it was ready to come out. Than he was so scared that if he ate anything that is would fall out or he would swallow it, and this was all in just one day....well day two...he was open a wrapper and out it came right on to the carpet, which we never could find, (good thing the tooth fairy still comes) but he could have cared less about the tooth he just loved the big hole it had made. Needless to say he was one happy boy and $2 dollars richer:)



So last weekend I had a good friend from high school get married. It was so good to see her and see how happy she is. There was also several friends that I have not seen since our high school reunion and that was so fun to catch up and hear all about their cute families and how their lives are out side of Utah. It was just a really fun day hanging out and remembering the good ol days.
