We are loving our new house! We are still living in the same city...for those of you that know where I DID live...just off of the Mtn. (email me for more private/exact info!) I never thought that I would want to live in Utah County until I found this house. It has been used as a model home for the past year. So, it is new...but not new if that makes sense. It is a two-story with the master bedroom upstairs with 3 other bedrooms and a family room/loft area also. The kids finally have their own rooms again! Hooray! I am not one to think that kids NEED their own room...I think that sharing is great. However, when kids are still in the napping stage it makes life difficult.
Main floor has living room, great room (kitchen/dining/family room) and a 5th bedroom that we are using as a play room. I love the layout most of all. It is already landscaped, front and back with a fence on 3 of the 4 sides. The yard is big, but not too big.
The neighborhood was the selling point. Tons and tons of kids. Our primary has 200 kids. This may be a common number to most, but we coming from TN with only 23 kids in the entire primary this seems incredible. Just on our street alone we have 5 4-year-olds Caleb's age an, 4 2-year-olds Josh's age and 2 other newborn baby girls that will be Bella's age. These kids are only from 3-4 families! They have been sooo welcoming and are always outside playing.
We couldn't be more excited to finally feel settled and have a place of our own. I will post pics when I get some taken. Unpacking and moving with the kids has been a challenge to say the least. Caleb has been pretty good and a helper, but Joshua is moving into the terrible two's and will soon get an entire post dedicated just to his antics over the course of this move. He is unbelievably mischievous...but adorable at the same time. Bella has just been needy...as most newborns are. She turned 2 months yesterday and I can't even believe how dang cute and lovable she is getting! She LOVES to be held. But not just like a baby. She wants to face out and see the world. She doesn't want you to sit down. She likes to be moving. She gives big smiles after eating and in the morning that just melt your heart. I am just so thankful to have a beautiful, healthy baby girl!
Hanging out with Joshie in the AM while Mom gets ready.
