Closing

Well, we closed on our new house today.  It's so exciting!  I'd write more but I'm tired and it after midnight.  It's going to be major packing the next couple of days.  I'm so excited.

Kitchen Before and After

I could only find one before...

And here is the after

Master Bedroom Before and After

I took some pictures of our house to rent it out. Did I ever post about the Master bedroom wall that I did? I'm not sure.  But here is a couple pictures- cause I love it.

Crazy

Things around here are crazy. I am super busy trying to get ready to move.  The house we are living in now we are going to keep and rent it out.  We have had rentals in the past and have found it to be a great investment.  I have 5 different people coming to look at our house tomorrow- and I'll chose who I feel will be the best tenants.  So I'm trying to clean like crazy.  Having 5 kids has thrown everything off and I haven't really gotten my house under control since- well, morning sickness. 
After we get this place rented it's going to be packing- and we move in 2 1/2 weeks! Oh, and I am giving the Relief Society lesson this Sunday.  So, bare with me, and wish me luck. 

Floating Shelves

Here are some more projects we have done.  Just in time to move! Darren is my handyman guy.  He can do everything.  I constantly have a project I want him to help me do.  And most of the time he is a good sport about it.  We have been redoing our kitchen- and I wanted some floating shelves.  So, here he is putting them up for me.  He looked so ruggedly handsome I just had to take some pictures.

These are just regular 2-12 pine boards.  Stain them a dark color- and walla- they look great! I love the way they turned out

I just took some more pictures with my nice camera- So in case your really interested in floating shelves- here they are.

More Climbing

The climbing gym is an hour away.  We try and go once or twice a month.  It has been a lot of fun.  Here are some of the latest pictures.

 This is Kyle and his best buddy Carson.  These two are best friends.  We told them they could come if they helped watch Luke.  We have to take him with us cause climbing is a half day activity and I'm nursing him.  So we bring him along and all take turns watching him.  Or he watches us. 

Guinea Pigs

We bought guinea pigs for Kyle for Christmas for $80.  A boy and a girl.  They ate a lot.  They made a big mess. They pooped a lot.  They made a lot of noise at night.  They stunk up the whole house. They had a baby.  Kyle sold the guinea pigs for $80 and got to keep the money.  We are all happy.
Except probably the people who bought them from us.  That was fun.
