OUR HOUSE

Our house is pretty much put together now. My Mom has been asking to see pictures of it so I thought I would just put some on here so everyone could see what it looks like...

This is the play room. I had so much fun setting it up. I still need to strip the table of it's pink paint, but other wise it pretty much complete. The pictures on the wall are done by two artist, their names are Abigail and Audrey Saiz.


This is the master bedroom. The picture doesn't really do it justice. I love this room. I walk in and feel relaxed and can't help but smile. So proud. Oh and thank you IKEA!!

This is our living room. It turned out great! I had a bit of trouble with a certain built in shelving entertainment center thing, but I think it turned out well. Very cozy and comfy.
Next comes the dining room/office. Still a little cleaning and hanging of art to do in here, but almost done. Works great for what we need it for.
So this is our kitchen. I love it. The pantry is huge which is good because there isn't much cabinet space. Concrete counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and even track lighting. I love it!!! Oh I put a picture of my fish tank in there, because its new and have been telling everyone about it.

Yes I actually have to do laundry in there. The good news is I got to get really good machines, because they were the only ones that would fit. The cat box is even in there. Ugh...

This bathroom is a bit bigger. Thank goodness!!! It took a while to figure out where to put everything in here. Not much towel space or any storage!!



And last but not least. Upstairs!!! Girl country!!! There are two bedrooms upstairs, and that's where the kids sleep. Audrey and Anna in one bedroom and Abby in the other. Abigail's is also going to be our guest room, so if any of you want to come and visit, we actually have a room for you!! Abby's room is a bit messy in these pictures, but is pretty much done. The younger girls room still needs the finishing touches. But it's all getting there.
This move has been pretty crazy!!! It's a lot diferant having three kids instead of just one while moving. We are all adjusting to our new life. Brandon has been pretty busy at work. Boat life is a lot harder on all of us then air stations, but we are surriving. I really think that these next three years are going to be a great adventure! Oh and don't forget our door is always open to any of you who want to come and visit us!!!!

Anna


Hi everyone!!
I thought I would
give you a little look
into the life of Anna.
It was bed time and
Abby and Audrey
were going potty,
so I thought why not
Anna.
Off went the pants
and diaper, and she sat
down. She stayed
there for about two
seconds and then
was up again. I put
her back on again
and she hopped backup. And so on and so on.
Then she wanted to throw away her diaper. So she
picked
it up
and
dropped
it in the
trash.
She then
picked up
her pants
and
dropped
them in

the trash as well. I quickly grabbed them out and
explained to her that you only throw away your diaper.

After that she wanted to try
and sit on the potty all by
herself. But each attempt
landed her just a little off.
She wouldn't give up.














I finnaly helped her get
herself on the potty
again, but only for a
second.















She then lost
interest and went
crawling after Molly
our kitten. I
couldn't resist the picture.

Anyway after lots of
sitting and throwing
things away that she
shouldn't we still had
an empty potty. We
will just have to try
again another day.
