Here they are, pictures of our home!!  Here are the facts it’s 5br/2.5 bath with a Loft/game room, a great room and a 3 car garage.  It’s just under 2800 SF and currently most of the rooms are empty or in boxes still!  The house was foreclosed on so we got a great deal but there was some work to be done!  The previous owners tore out the old granite counter tops as well as the garbage disposal, garage door opener and destroyed a door trying to “break” in.  J installed a new door, a garage door opener, new locks throughout the house, he installed the dishwasher and installed the microwave including venting it to the outside (its kinda scary to come home from work to see a hole in the outside wall of your house and your husband and father standing there w/power tools& smiles!)  We fixed walls and painted the kitchen, it was originally red but we were not sure how it would go with the black counter tops so we picked a gray to make a nice monochrome color pallet but ended up w/ a slate blue, we are happy with it and overall just love our kitchen!  After we moved in the boys room was our next focus, we gave them a Spidey themed room that they just love!

We still have a lot of work ahead of us, the pictures you are seeing are from before we moved in a few are more recent.  We need to landscape, the lack of water for 90+days killed the grass and a tree in the back yard but we’ll work on it when the temperature stays under 100!  We’ve met one of our neighbors they are a super friendly family and there are a 3 and 5 year old who live there so the boys are pretty excited!  Hope everyone enjoys the tour of our home, it is still a work in progress that we will continue to share w/you all!

Zane’s Birthday pictures!

I know it’s been a while, but here are some pictures of Zane’s Birthday! He had a great ickey mouse themed birthday and even shared his gifts with his brother, Logan was so good…you could see how hard it was for him not to rip open all of Zane’s gifts instead he just brought them one by one to him.

Zane’s first day of school

What a big boy!  All he said was “I’m excited to start school but I’m gonna miss you guys!”  He ran back once to give J one last hug (J thinks Zane knew daddy needed one more hug and that Zane didn’t really need it) and then he started coloring and cutting, trying to pretend there wasn’t a little girl screaming and crying sitting next to him!
