The Tour


Ok, here are some pics of our new home. 
We love it and the kids love it so much which makes it even better.


Downstairs bedroom/den 
which obviously needs a lot of work. But it looks tons better. It used to be full of boxes and things that I hadn't decided where to put yet. Now it's a room that can be walked in to.

Great Room and kitchen

Kitchen...I love it! The other day the kids and I made cookies and when it was cleanup time, I could fit the entire cookie sheet into my giant sink to wash it. Just one of the many perks I love about my kitchen.

Dining Room...laugh all you want. I know my furniture looks dwarfed by the size of the room. Some day in the future we will get a larger table and a real buffet instead of my small console table.  For now, it's a room to put the furniture in.




Girls' Room...we will eventually split them up and give them their own rooms. They are kind of on the fence about it now. Some days they like the idea but most times they enjoy sharing. In the mean time, we have a room for the toys until they split up.

Boys' Room

Laundry room...love having it upstairs!

Master Bath

Master Bath Vanity...and TV :)

Master Soaking Tub. I LOVE to soak in it!

Bedroom/Mainly Toy Room
It's not always this messy but I took the pic while kids were there playing.
 We've had a couple visitors stay the night in this room.

Guest Bath

We had the toilet and tub have a separate door so someone could still use the sink for washing or brushing teeth while the water closet's in use.

There you have it. Hope you enjoyed it as much as me....ok I know I enjoy this more. :)
There's still a lot more I want to do to furnish the house. Put up more window treatments, pictures, decorations, furniture..but it's nothing pressing and it'll be fun to do as time goes on. Same with painting some of the bedrooms and such.
 We love our neighborhood, being next to the church, closer to Jaime's work, and having so many kids around to play with our kids, and friendly neighbors. I have now met everyone who lives around our house and plenty more down the road. It's growing so fast too. We already have friends who will be building a house down the road.

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

Image
On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

SURPISE!!!!

Image
Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
