Boxes

We have officially moved. We are in a house now, we can't get over how much more space the boys have and how quiet it is. The backyard is small but honestly, I don't need a huge backyard, we practically have a park in our backyard. The boys run from room to room and haven't got used to being here yet (especially in the middle of the night). I haven't got used to being here yet either, hopefully we can get organized in the next week or two (wishful thinking on my part since I still can't do much) and then get used to cooking- planning meals for Bryan to cook- again.
(Lil A just came up to me and asked "where Dad go?" I had him give me kiss for the answer. I love that kid)
I am including photos but no judging about the mess, I think photos add about 10 boxes. The pineapple is really in the front yard. I haven't taken photos at the park or the backyard, that will have to be another post.

Thank you to everyone who helped get our stuff in our house and to make it livable.

Bless their little Texan hearts - I love that table for your boys!

Abby said...

I am glad you finally got your house....and the pineapple cracks me up. Really you do not need a big yard, they have plenty of dirt to play with!!

SO.... Did you leave out the fact, that you MADE Mike and Brian come down to your place on a SUNDAY and miss church to move you in, on purpose or was that to be in a later post.

Your house looks great! I wish I had a pineapple (or anything for that matter) growing in my yard. I'm tired of snow and cold! This has been a bad Utah winter.

Heather said...

looks great Karin- it is SO BIG! That kitchen will be great for all the entertaining I know you'll be doing! Are you in a new ward?

Hope we can see it the next time we are out!

I love the Pineapple pic I think that is the coolest thing ever!!! I can't wait to see it all done and with all of your stuff up on the walls.

Yals couches have out lasted ours! Ours were broken when we moved to Utah. That is exciting that you will have more room and privacy! We are in the same boat, we are looking for a house to rent! Cool table for the trains, my kids have the small Thomas the train set and love it!Good luck getting situated.

Heather- we are in the same ward, that was one requirement when we were looking.
Becky- we want new couches but really I can wait until we are in a house of our own because I KNOW I will want new stuff then too.
Em- the boys have eaten every meal at their little Texas table and have us bring it inside if it is outside- I LOVE it.

Yowsuh!! That's a lot of space. Did you buy or rent? You guys will have plenty of room for the new baby. Also, I would love to make use of your guest room someday.

Your bedroom looks much better than when we were there! You haven't been overdoing it have you?

Wow, moving while on faux bed rest and you're that unpacked. I still haven't finished unpacking and I've lived here for 3 years. Mostly it's Dave's famly heirlooms. Or as I like to call it, ugly crap.

Aleese and Scott said...

Moving is hard enough without being pregnant! Your house is so cute! How exciting for you guys.

Wangsgaard said...

I'm so happy for you guys! Being in a house is soooo much better and I don't miss our apartment one bit. I hope your pregnancy continues to go well.
