Umm...the bathroom, almost done.

I have had a few requests to see the inside of the house.  Well, the only rooms that are close to done are the bathroom and the boys bedroom.  I am not ready to show the boys room until it is just right.  The bathroom still needs a painting or something on the wall, but it is almost there.  I also have a few more accessories on order because they were out at Target.

I went with a transportation theme because I have always wanted to do one.  I got this great truck from michaels at a super great price.  It looks much better in person.  I love the towels

I don't know if you can tell by the picture but these cabinets are great.  We have come a long way from Wymount pink, green, and blue.  LOL.    In this picture you can see part of the blank wall that just needs something.  We decided not to paint this room because I was worn out.  (and it is expensive).  Any suggestions on the artwork?
I just had to post this picture because I love those little shower hooks.  They look so great.  There is also the cutest rug in the bathroom of a dump truck.  Sorry no picture.  You will have to wait a little longer for any more pictures of the house.  We have to work on it slowly because we are still students...with a student budget.

We are in our new house!

We are officially in our new house, and we got the internet hooked up yesterday! We are very happy to have a place to call our own. For those of you who didn't know we have been living in other peoples homes for a month now. We are so thankful to those who helped us make this move.
All of us are doing really well here. Carter has already had 2 play dates, and Chase was invited to one but we couldn't go. Carter is really adjusting to school and is already sounding out words better. It is so nice to have someone else teaching him what I have been trying to teach for the last few years. Chase is having a hard time with Carter at school. Yesterday he wanted to call him and ask him to come home. When he did arrive home Chase was nothing but smiles.
I hate the heat, but having a home makes it better. We made the boys share a room and used the others for a play room and guest room. Now they have space to play inside when it is so hot outside. They have really awesome pools here. The newest one to open up has two huge water slides and zero depth play area. It only costs $1.50 per adult and $0.50 per child. We go at least twice a week. People say that in the next 4-8 weeks it should cool down!

First Day of School

Carter started Kindergarten today!!!! I can't believe my baby is that old. boy does time fly. He has all day kinder. He was a little nervous to have to leave me for a long day. I walked him into his classroom and he was really good. He put all of his stuff where his teacher told him and then he gave me a kiss and a hug and said in a kind of sweat voice, "Bye Mom" All day I worried about him. Any of you who know my son know that he has a mind of his own. Well when I picked him up he was so happy to see me to tell me about his great day. He said it went awesome and that he can now remember his teachers name....sorry giving that info may be a little much for the internet. He also wants to ride the bus as soon as possible now. We haven't moved into our house yet so he will have to wait a little longer.

I can't believe how big he looks in my eyes, but how small he looks compared to all of the big kids at school.

Carter thanks so much for being such a good boy. I am so proud of you. Keep working hard, and try not to get any "uh-ohs" (I think that is equivalent to getting your name on the board.)

lovin the house

Daniel and I found a house. Although we are only renting we have a long term contract. We are really excited. The house was built in 2008 and we will be the first occupants! It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is a big upgrade from what we have had in the past. The owner told us we could paint as long as he approves of the colors. Although we don't move in until the 1st, Daniel and I have been hard a work painting over the white flat paint walls. (I know....you can only imagine how much damage my boys could have done.) So, here is a picture.

We are HERE!!

We arrived in Chandler today at 2:30pm. It was a long adventure, but thanks to a good nights sleep at Jake and Brittany's house it was manageable. On the way to LA I locked our keys in the car. After an hour and $80, we were on our way. I can't believe I did that. Now we are here staying in the greatest house for the next couple of weeks. This house has 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. It has a gourmet kitchen and everything is upgraded. Our kids aren't sure how to act in it. They are used to 900 sq ft and now they are in 3000 +. All good things will come to an end though. Daniel and I already have 3 appts to look at houses for rent. (this one is just temp until we can find another place.) I would upload pictures, but I feel like we won't be here long enough for it to matter. If you guys want to see it I will upload though.

Chase's BEST friends

Chase gets really attached to people. If you are one of the lucky ones who gets to be a best friend you are truely special to him. He has a best friend from preschool. (a high school student). His daddy is his best friend. Trevor is his best friend, and so are Nathan and Braden. Notice my name has been ommitted. I am not sure if I am a best friend right now or not. Nathan and his brother Ryland are the other boys pictured here. These boys have been great! During baseball season they would play with Chase and keep him out of trouble the whole time. It was awesome because they really PLAYED with him. Chase loves both boys so much.



Chase loves these boys so much that he begged me to invite them to his birthday party. they are so great to him that they came. I am not sure how much fun they had, but Chase was excited!
See, here is proof that Nathan caters to Chase. His best friend. They hunt for clovers, play at the park, play games, go to the snack shack, and pretty much whatever else Chase wants.

We are inbetween houses!

Since we are in between houses for the next 2 weeks. Please excuse the lack of pictures. Daniel has just finished with his last clinical adjustment. He only has class once a week now. He plans on getting a job in Ariona and flying back once a week for class. He is crazy! I will finish my last final on July 10th. I am excited for this summer semester to be over. It has been horrible! I don't ever want to take summer classes again. I felt like I didn't have the time to prepare well for each class. Today I have my hardest speech for my speech class, and I am so unprepared and nervous that I want to throw up! In about an hour and a half it will all be over though. Sorry for the rambling. School fulltime, two great and crazy boys, moving, and being in a state of limbo are taking their toll on me. I think at any given moment just about anyone could make me cry. Hopefully the next post will be better.
