Busy Busy!

Well, friends. Been so busy and then sick I haven't had much time for anything. On top of being busy and sick, my toddlers have hit new phases. Joy. Also my Mother In Law is in town. This however makes the business, sickness and new toddler phases a tad more bearable.

But anyhow, here are some pictures of the house I took about a week ago. Its changed a bit since, but I don't have updated pictures since.

This is the downstairs bathroom vanity that came with the house, that we hated. 

Double doors to master  bedroom

Master bedroom- working on getting new bedding.

Master Bedroom, need a piece of furniture here, not sure what though.

Double doors from the inside of the master bedroom Caden's room to the left of the hallway.

My closet.

The Dad taking out the downstairs bathroom sink

left side of my closet empty, right side of the closet looks the same- I need more clothes to fill this massive closet!

My family wall outside the master bedroom- yes I know I need to fix the 'Y'

Caden's room- looks a bit different now. He has new bedding and the green wall hooks are gone.

Caden's room

Caden's closet- different as well now. Rearranged it again.

The toy area of his room, which no longer looks like this because it drove me crazy.

Eventually- his bedroom furniture is getting painted a dark color.

Laundry room. This was before the washer was delivered but this room is so big it also is my sewing room on the opposite side.

The area next to the stairs going down the hall to master bed room and Caden's room

This is the downstairs and 3rd bathroom after our new vanity is in. So much better.

Front door- we need a piece of furniture under the picture to hold all our shoes.

Our front living room, which will eventually be the xbox room.

Front living room looking into the living room.

And now I need to take pictures again, and take pictures of the rooms that I didnt take yet!

Home Owners!

So busy. I don't have time for the computer lately. I don't sit down all day long with trying to get unpacked, and organized. But folks,

we are moved in. We are home owners of the very house we built ourselves!

And this place is HUGE! Our furniture looks so tiny!

And its not just a quick walk to go grab something...its a hike from room to room. Getting my workout in thats for sure since Im not running much the past few days. I cant run when I have other things to go. My to do list doesn't let me concentrate on running.

Red Rock ending and house update

Our 3rd stop was for the kids to climb up a little.

Dad found a good spot for them.

They need a lot more practice.

Caden was so concerned about walking next to a cactus.

Then we headed out.

On the way out we came across this guy. 

He walked toward us.

And totally stuck his face in the car sniffing out the kids strawberry fig newton cookies.

I so wanted to feed him, but it was a $500 fine.

And then Caden had to have a potty stop.

He is doing FANTASTIC at potty training at such a young age.

I'd say nearly 100% except at night time and missing once a day or so when he has to go number 2.

Otherwise, totally using the potty.

Or weeds.

Or parking lot.

City is in view! Almost home!

And by the way, house signing is today at 11 am!

Red Rock continued...plus house signing postponed...

So we left the visitor's center and took some pictures outside. 

We took the scenic 13 mile drive around the canyon's scenic loop.

It was amazing.

I am so looking forward to our next trip there.

We stopped at the very first scenic pull off.

We all kinda just stood there and stared.

                     

I couldn't get over seeing the hiking trails.

This excited me.

We threw rocks...

We drove onto the next stop!

Kayla took off. She was ready! Red Rock has a .75 mile children's hike I would love to do with the kids one of these days. We were just not prepared for it at the time. 

This is me starting to love sun flare pictures.

My sister saw her first wild lizard. We have been around them since stationed in Italy in 2003 so they are nothing new for us, but she was way excited.

Check out the moon in the picture below, middle right side. 

I love the moon in the desert. There is rarely a day or time you cant see it.

The Dada started to climb at spider monkey speed up the rock. Of course he is used to this climbing, he has to train for it in his job.

(And I highly regret not following after him)

Ha. Did this picture for my mother in law.

And then we drove onto our 3rd stop...

(Signing of paperwork for the house was postponed yesterday. Our loan officer had us getting back too much money, over the limit, so the amount over the credit limit was credited back towards the payment on the house so the paperwork had to be re-done and re-submitted to include this. This morning we have the new documents in our email so soon we should know what happens next and when)
