Our New Home

Here are some photos of our new home in Kaysville. Since I made my blog public again, I won't show the front of the house, but here's a glance at the inside of the house. It's a split level house with a floor plan similar to my Aunt Anne's for any of you that have been in her house except 10 years ago, the owners knocked down the kitchen wall to open it up more. After you walk in the front door and go up 8 steps, here's the great room. We love the open space! It's been perfect for our Love and Logic Parenting classes as well as parties with friends and family.
Kitchen...with my own pantry at last!
I've been dying for a pantry, and apparently so have my kids because they're always getting snacks out of it. ;)

Master Bedroom
Wade and I made a tufted head board for our Master Bed that I'll post some pics of later. I'll also post the pics of the other bedrooms once we get new paint up in the next month.
Upstairs Bathroom
Family Room
The kids are loving our new 8 foot monster sack! They run, run, run, and then jump onto it every chance they get. Then we roll it in the middle of the room so we can all sit on it together (yes, all 6 of us fit on it) to watch movies on the projector screen.
Back patio

This picture makes me so happy especially since right now, our backyard has 2-3 feet of snow. Our home and neighborhood is everything we were hoping to find. We may never move. :)

Hello 2013...nice to meet you!

We're back! After a whole year of daily gratitude posts on dailysunshineforyou.blogspot.com, we moved into our first home, welcomed baby Matthew into our family, and took 7 months off from blogging. It will take several posts to catch up so I may just post Christmas, go forward from there, and finish catching up later. After feeling my time sucked away from facebook, I deleted my account 2 weeks ago (for a few months or forever...who knows? I'm genuinely enjoying the break from it right now.) When I do have some down time, I've read a few of your blogs and have been reminded how much more I enjoy it than facebook.  This blog is my family journal, which I print into a book for us to enjoy for years to come.  So I'm stoked to be back and blogging!
