New Home, We Are Moving!!!!!

Yes, if you haven't heard, we finally bought a house. We are moving on May 19 to our new home. It is 2203 sqft, 5 bedrooms, 0.19 acre, 2 1/2 bath. We got a great deal on it and it has already appreciated in value $20,000. We have a lot of landscaping work to do with it and Mom and Dad are coming up to help us paint. A few of the rooms are painted yucky. As time goes on we are going to upgrade some stuff in the house. We are really excited to move to our new home in a great neighborhood. We are just minutes now from Jared and Michelle which is also exciting. Here are some pictures of it:

When you walk through the front door on your left is an office with glass doors, a closet, and arched celing. The windows look out to the front yard and park that is across the street. On the right are the stairs to go upstairs and a little hallway to the family, eating, and kitchen. That is our realtor in the room with me.

Here is our living room.

One side of the backyard.

Kitchen and eating area.

Built in desk in the eating area.

Other side of the backyard.

A hallway from the kitchen leading to a half bath and laundry room and garage.

The garage is a tandem garage. If you don't know what that is the first part of the garage is for 2 cars and then there is a large area in the back for the next car. Technically it is a 3 car garage but we will use the back part for Kory's special space (i.e., motorcycle, storage, work bench, etc.)

The tandem area of the garage.

Upstairs 2 rooms, McKay and Erica.

Easter and SLC Pictures

These are of course behind. Have had trouble with the blog again and putting the pictures on it.

Kory was able to take some pictures of Erica smiling. She is about 3 months here.

We had an Easter Celebration at the church this year. They made us a pancake breakfast and had an egg hunt afterwards. McKay had a lot of fun. Unfortunately almost everything he got was chocholate (which he does not like) and coins. He got over $1 in coins but he still doesn't understand what money is. The money is now sitting in a cup being guarded by a fake blue caterpiller.

Hunting for eggs.

McKay playing with his best friend, Shawn. They play together at least once a week.

Kory's sister came over from Scotland with her two girls to visit. She was going to try and come up to Boise but did not have time. So Kory met her halfway in SLC. He took McKay with him and I stayed home with Erica and my work. It was a quick one day, one night trip. Here are some pictures from that trip.

Not sure where he is in this picture.

They went to temple square and the visitor center.

The kids playing in the fountain, don't fall in!!!!

This is the younger of Kory's sister's daughter. We have never met her before. She is about McKay's age.

The old tabernacle.

I guess this is a display of Jerusalem A.D. 33.

This is the oldest daugher with McKay. Beautiful pictures in the background.
