It looks good!

Scott and I just celebrated our 7 year anniversary yesterday! Time flies when your having fun! We went out for dinner at a great sushi restaurant to celebrate. It was so delicious! But, I wanted to show you all the present Scott got me....

OUR NEW HOUSE! Everything has gone through, so we will be moving in at the end of the month! Yay! So here are a few pictures.

Of course, this is the front of the house. It is in a culdesac, and just around the corner from the neighborhood park!

This is the view you get from the entry way. It shows part of the living room, the door to the patio, and the den at the back.
This is the kitchen (obviously). There is now a matching fridge in there... part of our deal in buying the house. The door you see is the pantry.
This is a view of the island and living room taking from the dining area.
More of the kitchen and dining area. The single door is to the garage. The double doors are the laundry closet. Across from the laundry is a half bath.
Here is the den. There is a closet and it is huge. It goes under the stairs! Yay for closet space!
Here is the living room. This pic is taken from the stairs. We will be replacing the light with a fan!
This is the view from the balcony off the master bedroom. They will be building more homes back there... hopefully we won't lose to much of our view. There is also land set aside back there for a new LDS church!!! So excited for that!
This is the master bedroom. Not the best pic of it. I just took these pics off the real estate web site.
And here's the master bath. There is a garden tub, separate shower, and the toilet is secluded. That doorway straight back is the closet and it is glorious! It is huge and has wonderful shelving!
Here is one of the other three bedrooms. All the bedrooms are upstairs.
And the guest bath, also upstairs!

Well, that is all the pictures I have right now, but I am sure you will see many more after we get settled. I can't wait to get in there and start decorating. All you crafty people will have to give me ideas. The best part about this house.... there is plenty of room for guests! (hint, hint)

More birthdays and birds

We seem to be sticking with a theme here for the month of April. Yesterday was Scott's birthday. He is the big 3-7! Unfortunately, he had to work, but once he got home we decided to go out to dinner as a family! This is something we don't do very often, and by the end of the night I remembered why. Originally we were going to head to the OG..... Olive Garden. One just opened up here about a month ago, and apparently the newness hasn't worn off. There was an hour wait!!! So, we headed to Texas Roadhouse. Claire wasn't too excited... she was really hoping for OG. She said, "I don't like Texas food!" Made me chuckle. When we were walking to our table we had more than one comment about the size of our family. Apparently, you don't see too many large families out to dinner at a nicer restaurant. Now had it been Applebeees, I am sure no one would have said a word. I am glad we went where we did though. Sure beats the dollar menu that Scott would of had us partake of if he had his way. Hawkins drink spilled on the floor and so they poured peanuts on the puddle of Sprite and stomped on them to clean up the mess. The kids thought that was great and had to get in on the action! Wish I had taken a picture!

Earlier in the day I made cupcakes for Mostyn's class to celebrate his birthday. Well, the store actually made and frosted the cupcakes.... I just decorated them. The theme was Angry Birds! The kids loved them! I got the idea from one of my favorite blogs, The Crafting Chicks. You can go here to check it out.

Mine aren't as great as theirs, but I am pleased with them none the less. I had a heck of a time trying to find some of the ingredients, so I had to improvise... happens a lot when you live in a small town.

On a side note, we should be moving into our new home in two weeks. I am so excited! I will post pictures as soon as I know it's a done deal. After all we went through with the last house, I'm not taking any chances!

Happy Birthdays and Bird Days

Yesterday was Mostyns birthday! He is now 10! We started the morning with Scott taking Mostyn to McDonalds for breakfast. Hawk was going to go too, but puked right before they left. Lovely! Then after breakfast, Mostyns stomach wasn't feeling so good, so both boys stayed home from school. By the afternoon, when Mostyn had opened the video game his dad had gotten him, both boys seemed to be feeling much better. Other gifts included accessories for his Wii, and of course, a Captain EO shirt from Disneyland. We finished up the day with root beer floats and brownies.
But, Mostyn wasn't the only one celebrating his birthday yesterday... Our little baby birds hatched. They are so cute, and yet so ugly at the same time!

Test blogging from my phone

-Lets see how this goes. Hopefully you can see a picture of a cute little bird in her nest. She has 3 eggs in there. We check daily to see if her new little ones have arrived. The nest is in one of our bushes in our front yard.

There should be a second picture of some yummy easter nests I made for a special project that I will have to share another time. I had some left overs, so I sent this one to school in Hawkins lunchbox.

Better late than never

I know, I know, I never update my blog. As the kids get older, it seems life gets more hectic. Here is a video that my amazing husband put together of our time at Disneyland this summer. We had a blast and I can't wait to go back. Hopefully, I will start blogging more after this.

Say hello to my little friend

This little dude was hanging out on the wall of our back porch the other night. I say little, but he was actually pretty good size. At least 12 inches long! The kids wanted to catch him and keep him.... I don't think so!

I am trying to play catch up on my blog. Be sure to check out the two other posts after this one.
