Here's the hutch I was talking about in the last blog. We are going to put metal sheeting where you see wall for magnetic board. I can't wait to get it all done and have my office back up and running in full swing!

How many Dads are this great, really? :)
Annica was bored so I made her a couch fort like Dwight and I used to make with the old brown and cream sofas in Lacombe. (fond memory)

Annica's new fairy kite she got for a potty training reward.

Okay, so Evan got one too.... his is a shark... way up there. Great pic huh?

Annica flying her kite.

Annica in big girl panties. Better late than never, I figure. Yes Leshia, now you can potty train Nikki, I am done with my three and a half year old now.




Our New Home

Hello all- It has been FOREVER since we have posted anything on our blog, due to moving, and having no internet for a very long time. I have finally gone around and taken pictures of the house, so that you can imagine where we are living. Brad should be very happy, as he said he was tired of seeing the whale skeleton at the museum everytime he checked our blog!! :) But seriously Bradly, if I see Lindsays bunny on the kitchen table one more time..... All the family had better follow suit, and become faithful bloggers once again! Anyhew, I digress.....

The front of our new house.

Our backyard and polebarn.

Evan's BR is upstairs.... looks a lot like his old one.

Evan....


Evan......


Annica's room is also upstairs. There is a small bathroom in between the two rooms. Ooops, this isn't truly a "before" picture, as I have ripped out the built in desk in the corner of this room... The part of it containing electric wires is still there for a time when Daddy wants to finish the job.

Annica.....


Annica.... Yes, she has the biggest room the house... Spoiled rotten!

This is the bathroom in between the two BRs.




Now we're back on the main floor. This is Jason and my room, and the lovely lavendar walls that I have oft spoken of. Hmmmm, the nursery or this room, what will be painted first?


This is the main floor bathroom. Very long and narrow, and difficult to take a picture of! And there is a toilet... way down on the end, around a little corner.


This is the laundry/bathroom off the back of the house. It also has a door onto the deck, so the little kids can just run in to use the bathroom without tracking through the house from the pool.


Okay, I hope you can see it, but the door coming from the garage is just to the left of the large wall cabinet unit thing. The dining room used to be here, but you kind of walked right from the garage into the kitchen table, so we moved it to the living room, b/c there is another family room on the main floor that we will use for our living room. Here is where Dana says.. you always write too much!

Kitchen


This wall is opposite the kitchen island. Jason made me this desk out of two file cabinets that I had, and cut a top for them, and painted it all lovely. He built a hutch for it as well, and I'll show you that in a later post.

Living room. This is on the back of the house. The windows in this picture are on the side of the house.

Same living room, these back windows/door go out onto the deck.
Staircase is directly in front of the front door.This is our dining room. Used to be a living room, but we wanted more table room, so this is it.


Okay, that is all for house pics. There is one more BR that will be the nursery, but it is full of junk, so I didn't want to record that. Also, the basement is nice and large too with a family room, and a toy room, and a room for my craft junk, and a shower room. Also horribly messy. I will finish unpacking that area, and take pics of it later!!
