Much Anticipated House Photos....

So, I have gotten requests to post pics of the new house. Well alrighty, but no judgments because I haven't got everything packed away yet! I just finished pillowcases and a yellow throw for my bed yesterday (thank you Molly!). But other than that, there is not an entire room that's done yet. Against my better judgment, here goes.

One small bathroom for now, hoping to put in another soon!

I am in love with this black and white print for pillowcases!

This is the front room, it's nice and quaint with a bar for the kids

or in this case for me to write my posts!

This is the family room downstairs and the place we watch TV.
Kinda boring right now, but wait I will make it awesome!



By far the scariest room in the house, this is on the other
side of the wall of the family room. This is where Bucky wants to
build his music room and I want a bathroom. And there is also
going to be a closet for the laundry. Labor Day weekend we will
be sheet rocking if anyone wants to come help!!!

Blogarrhea

What you are about to witness here on this post is a touch of Blogarrhea. It's a word that my brother Erik told me about a year ago. It made me laugh. It's where you post a lot of things on one post. So, here we go.

Today was Ethan's first day of school. He is excited, but on the downside, the new shoes
we got him for school ended up being too tight so I'm going to have to get a size up.
School was interesting this morning because they had an assembly first off and Ethan
was one of the minority. Just a few lone crackers in a sea of cute little Hispanic kids. Hopefully
it will go well today. :D

Next up is a picture of Missy on her first day of school down at BYU.
She's lovingly referred to as the "Chosen One" because she's cute and smart and athletic.
Deadly combination.

Next are the freebies that I got from my awesome Father-In-Law Nick and from an
alley by his restaurant. This Singer sewing table apparently belonged to Mrs. Osmond.
verified by Nick" the Name Dropper" Cash. Apparently one of the Osmond's
came in and commented that his mom had a sewing machine table just like that and
when Nick opened up the top- BAM! There were the names you see in the picture. It's a big story and I will no doubt be using it as a conversation piece to impress people. C'mon, wouldn't you?!

A lot of stuff, but I'm tired...

Jordanelle. It was fun. I'm still exhausted from moving and unpacking. On the upside my sister Missy is here, so I'm having fun with her. We went to The Time Travelers Wife last night. I bawled like a baby and she just looked at me like I was crazy. I'm taking her down to BYU tomorrow morning.

Not So Bad...

I am almost done packing up my little apartment, which to my surprise has seemed to double in size since I started packing. Which is, for me anyway, is an awesome thing because I get to purge certain useless items that I thought were going to be awesome/useful/relevant. I love to de-junk and moving is the best way to do that. I know, it sucks and is exhausting, but with the help of good friends, wink wink you know who you are, Kelly, V, and Jolene, it was pretty fun. So, coming soon...pictures of the new house and all these lovely boxes piled in it!

Boxes, Boxes, Boxes

This is fun....

HOly Hannah It's HoT!!!

Update on House

It has been awhile since I've posted. I know this. We have been busy. Our closing date was supposed to be on Friday, but it got pushed back to Monday (tomorrow). We've been in contact with our mortgage broker, Bucky's cousin's husband, JT and it's a jungle out there in the home-buying world! Changes in policies and nit picky things are making him run around and around. Don't get me wrong, this is better than people foreclosing on their mortgage, but it's a big pain in my butt!!!

But on a more positive note, we met a few neighbors and learned a little more about the school Ethan is supposed to go to. Here's the crazy thing about it. It's a circle school, which means it has no walls separating the classrooms. Yeah, try to imagine that. Kids getting taught different things at the same time in a gigantic time traveling school? A little too much for me. I'm going to try for a variance to another school or hopefully a charter school. That would be cool. It would be so cute to see him in a uniform.

Also, the apricot tree in the front yard is full of fruit! So, I'll be making a lot of jam and maybe some fruit leather. Anyone know how to make fruit leather?
