Our new digs, the "after" pics

Here is the pictures of after everything is unpacked! We really like this house, and even though we have quite a bit less sq. footage (you should see the garage!) we are managing ok. I love the layout, and there are so many windows that I don't even turn the lights on during the day. It gets really hot though, because it is two stories, and power is expensive here, so it is often quite warm in our house! (When I got the bill for 10 days of usage, and it was $145, I turned the air off right then. Only $10 was connection fees!)


Here is the family room, right off the kitchen, like our house in Idaho. It has a nice gas fireplace here though. We can't wait to use it when the weather gets cool. You can't see it in this pic, but our tv is in a recess right across from the couch.


Here is the kitchen. The kitchen is very nice, but everything is smaller than I am used to . The pantry is tiny, the sink is small and shallow (dishes pile up way to quick!) the fridge is smaller and so is the dishwasher. The cabinets are smaller as well, there are some things that didn't make the cut for this kitchen and are out in the garage. But the layout is nice, and I actually really like the corian counter tops. I don't worry about water on them like I did my granite!


There is a half bath off the kitchen, which I love.

The laundry room it TINY! This is also the only place we could think to put the cat box, so it is less than pleasant. I actually wish I had a closet laudry room rather than this, I have to shimmy sideways to get in and out.


Here is Ava and Corrine's room. You can kind of see that they have a walk in closet, which helps with storage since they are sharing the room.

Here is Michaela's room, it turned out cute. I couldn't take a picture of Paydens, it was too much of a mess! Michaela loves her room for the vaulted ceiling.

Here is the bathroom the girls share.


Here is our walk in closet. Good thing its big because Corrine naps in there! Since the little girls are sharing a room, they couldn't be in the same room for nap time. So she naps in our closet! It actually works really good, she sleeps like the dead in there.

Here is our bathroom, it is huge. We really like it!





The toilet is off to the right in the picture, directly across from the shower. It has its own room.

I didn't take a picture of our room, it still isn't quite put together. But we like it. It has a nice bay window and is large.

Here is the view from the top of the stairs.


The entryway.


The stairs.


This is my favorite room of the house, the formal living room up front. I love having a place for our leather furniture and the piano.


There is a downstairs, and that is where the owner of the home lives. He is a nice guy and doesn't seem to mind our noisy kids! I will have to take a picture of the outside later, I forgot about that. The yard isn't fenced, so Kylo is on a chain and I can't let Ninny out to play, which is tough. I tried, but she would not stay in the back, she kept running out to the front and we live on a street that people drive kind of fast on. But we really like living here. We can't wait to buy though, and are keeping faith that everything will work out and we will be able to soon.
