House Tour Part 1

We've been working hard and are ready to give the first part of our house tour:
The Kitchen and Dining Room:

BEFORE

AFTER!!!

Chalk board and magnetic door. (I LOVE getting ideas from crafts blogs!!!)

This door leads to the garage on the left and the downstairs on the right.

The Pantry:

BEFORE

AFTER

I've never had a pantry but I LOVE it!

The kitchen turned out better than I ever dreamed it would! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to my Handy Hubby who just kept going on project after project. He let me have it exactly how I wanted it and never complained. And THANK YOU to all the handy friends and family who helped!

Main Upstairs Bathroom

AFTER

Follow me downstairs...

This is the Family Room/Play Room

(It is a someday later project)

But the space is Awesome!

Laundry Area

Complete with a FOLDING COUNTER!

Downstairs Bathroom

And now for my favorite room in the house...

Da na na na!!! The Food Storage Room that just keeps going and going. I LOVE having a place I can keep all the great things I buy for cheap with couponing!

Now let's move outside to the backyard. We still haven't done a lot with the yard, but we have at least finished some of the projects for the kids.

BEFORE

AFTER

We turned half of the flower box into a sandbox. Now we need to figure out how to keep the sand in the box!

So that concludes what we have to show of the house for now. Still to come...the front room and the boys' room. We are having lots of fun and are never without a project to do! I'm so grateful for our house and for all of the extra little things that it came with that are such luxuries!

Scurvey Dog! Arrrrg!

We had a fun party for Silas a few weeks ago. The theme was pirates and Logan was the cutest little pirate when you would hear him say, "Scurvey Dog!" in his little Logan voice. It was fun to be able to have some of our friends over for the first time to play at our new house.

First Tyrel read the story, "How I Became a Pirate."

At the end Silas openened his gifts.

This was his most important gift of all. Months and months ago, we were at the grocery store with Izzy waiting for a perscription. We went to the toy isle to play for a little bit and there Silas saw, "Don't spill the beans." He asked Izzy for it, and she said maybe for his birthday. Ever since then, anytime his birthday came up he wanted it. Or when Grammy asked what was something that Daddy wanted that we should buy for him he said, I think he wants 'Don't Spill the Beans'. Anytime someone said they had a surprise for him, he asked if it was this game. So when Izzy walked in to the party with a present, he knew what it was!
