Our New House




Here are some pictures (before and after) of our new home. We were lucky to get this house ,and we love it!! It's crazy how things can happen and change soo fast. Originally we thought we would wait until after Katelyn was born to start looking seriously for a home. But, of course, during one of our "non-serious" home visits, we fell in love and had to have it. I was probably 7 or 8 months pregnant at this point. Thankfully Lynn (Kyle's mom) was our Realtor and she worked SOOOOOO hard to make this house happen for us. Instead of waiting until Katelyn was born to look for a house, we literally started Escrow the day she was born. Seriously, the day... no the hour after I had Katelyn, we were on the phone with the Broker getting all kinds of stuff taken care of. It was pretty funny!! Good thing Katelyn came quick, cause we were busy!! hahaha!

The back yard, in the snow (Before we owned it).... hard to imagine this kind of weather after a long Summer!!

Here we are on our first night owning the house! Cheers!


Keira getting acquainted with the house.


Katelyn getting acquainted to her new spot for the next few weeks while we worked on the house.



And of course, a jump in the freezing pool to celebrate!


Brrrrrrrrrrr!



The Kitchen, before tearing down wall paper and painting.

In the living room looking toward Kitchen


Looking at living room from the stairs.. nice and white!





Hall bathroom, you'll see some wall paper trends!
This is also the Hall bath, we found some nice artwork after pulling off the wallpaper.

Jon and Katelyn resting on their blankies :) Jon didn't realize it, but that is actually his baby blanket, (lovely Cow Jumped Over The Moon theme) that my mom brought up with their drop cloths I guess!! hahaha You can see the old carpet here.... stained, bleached, and torn, it was a mess!


Freshly painted walls and new carpet, ahhhhh
