All about our HOUSE!!

WARNING... TONS OF PICTURES!!!! (and not all in order)

I love looking at my phone pictures!! There are so many pictures that I never shared with anyone. Let me take you through our house building process. 

This view is from our kitchen. The black line is the line of our property, so as you can see Dozer, our dog, is going to be blessed with a big yard!! Also the kids are going to have a blast. The grass is going to be a little expensive but hey it's worth it to create a fun backyard for my kids and for my dog.

Our jetted tub!!

If I remember right this is when we first got to WY and visited our house for one of the first times...This is our master bedroom looking at the master bath and our closet

Looking at the kitchen and the soon to be kitchen window...we had them frame the original plans for the door just in case we wanted to have a door and a deck.

Here we are in the family room and looking at the kitchen/dining room

Garage looking into the family room


Same picture but farther along of the living room looking into the kitchen and the now kitchen window. They have also set the bar too..

Our master bath...I'm in LOVE!! 

Looking through the walls from the master bedroom...you get to see the kids/guest bathroom and J's room

Our master bedroom

The kids' bathroom

The hallway...I'm standing right in front of the bathroom

The front door...the living room closet and front window!

The upstairs

The pantry

This is going to be my beautiful kitchen!!

This will be the masterbath when it is complete

Dining room to the family room

my washer and dryer room in the basement

This is when they were putting the siding on. 


Then we showed up and they were almost done painting the outside! So I must confess this was my second choice for the house color because my first choice was our neighbors directly to the right of this picture. They had my favorite color choice and I didn't want to copy them. I still like these colors though.

We may need a ladder if they forget to put the porch in...hahaha

I am in Utah right now visiting my family and getting out of the hotel room...the kids, the dog, and I were all going stir-crazy not having enough room and all of our stuff...so we headed up for the month of July and Mike stayed home to start his residency...These are the pictures he took and sent to me...But while we have been away they have finished the insulation and put the sheet rock up...they are in the process of finishing the sheetrock and then I'm hoping they will start on the flooring, cabinets, and everything else!! 
Family room looking into the kitchen and dining room.

Like I said...pics are not in order...But here is the dining room/kitchen looking into the living room. 

Again kitchen and living room...

Family room

Ok so these next pictures are our colors we picked out....I forgot to get a picture of our wood flooring and carpet but I'll do that when they get installed...
The cabinets and granite is what will be in the kitchen and both bathrooms. The tile on the floor in this picture is the tile flooring for the bathrooms. 

Up close of our granite coutertops...still going back and forth on this...what do you think?

This tile is going in the master bath shower/tub.

So really this picture shows you the master bath colors

Our fridge!!

This is what our stove will kind of look like, but we got the newer model that is coming out (no price difference whirlpool just came out with a newer line and they are getting rid of this one in the picture)

Our last days in AZ

So I realized there was a lot of pictures I had on my iPhone of events that we have done that we didn't take with our actual camera. Who knew iPhones could be so useful :) 
 Our first box packed

 After our awesome trip to the Grand Canyon, most of our days were filled with parks and water!! We went to the Aquatic Center at least once a week and parks a couple times a week. We had to end the parks a like a couple weeks before the actual move due to the heat.

 These are just cute pictures I threw in! 


 We also went to the science center. I miss the culture passes they were doing in AZ
 While we were packing, we found the snowsuits that will definitely come in handy for where we are now living..E just had to put it on.
 J would rather be shipped than have to drive the 20 hours to our new home
 Like I said, lots and lots of water activities!!!
 A couple Monday's we were able to hang out with my cousin David and his little boy. J and Ethan have been best friends since the day Ethan was able to come home from the hospital. They are 3 months apart. 
 J absolutely LOVED each and every time we went to the aquatic center...this guy is my little fish and I LOVE it!! 
 E not so much :) She had fun but it took her time to warm up to the water...believe it or not it was cold at first even in the 100 deg weather



 J and I were able to have a mommy/son date...we went to the dollar theaters and watched his new favorite movie THE LORAX. He absolutely loves the music and cannot wait for the movie to come out on DVD. We will definitely be required to buy it from this little man.
