Our HOME

Well, since we live in the TOTAL boonies! I suppose I should share with you all our house since I highly doubt anyone will come all this way! lol I have a friend flying in to slc and she couldn't believe there are no trains, buses or anything that comes out this way... lol o yea... & i am disappointed in finding that after FINALLY visiting the ONLY restaurant IN roosevelt, they have NO IDEA what good food is!!!! Oh my! How do you screw up french fries? and the dino chicken nuggets from costco were WAY better than what poor lukie had to suffer through! LOL
& to top it off they had banana cream pie... one of my FAVS 2nd only to cheesecake... only to discover they don't know how to make that either!!! HOW can you screw up banana cream pie? i mean we are talking pudding, bananas, whipped cream, and a sweet crust... BUT let me tell YOU it was BAD! and for someone who gets to go out to eat only couple times a year!?!?!!! i couldnt even finish my $5 pie, yes $5 for pie that was not even good! SIGH
but... aside from all the things i am NOT liking out here we do have a brand new house... so that is nice... (once they fix all the things that have already come apart in only 3 months! lol)

So here is our new home. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, garage (yeah no treking in snow)!
So this house is smaller than our last square footage wise so... we've had to turn our garage into not only a spot for both cars (which we FINALLY fit both the van & patrol car in now!) but also our extended kitchen as well as office & craft room! lol... notice the computer in the garage? this is WHY i post so rarely... its FREAKIN COLD OUT HERE!!! lol.. right now my tootsies are like mini frozen popsicles! brrrrrrrrrrrrr
our rooms are pretty close quartered... so trying to figure out how to take pics is kinda funny but nevertheless.... here ya go
Here is our living room ... (car on floor courtesy of luke)
notice the empty et center again
courtesy of 2year old boy that
enjoys pulling out everything
he can reach but now has made this
his favorite hiding place! lol
& yes that bookshelf is ALL kids books, except for the few on very top shelf which are parenting or autism books! lol
So here is my darling VERY MESSY
princess who i am lucky is sitting down since she LOVES throwing tantrums when i say anything about eating and here is her room... like i said it really hard to see the whole room!


& my boys now they LOVE to eat...

and here is the boys room! like the
decorating? lol... its only been a few
months & matthew wont let me
paint yet, since it new paint since we just bought the house... but it will come! & my little man who eats so fast & runs off to play with cars or trains!

and the kitchen... when it not a mess!
and our yard ...
and where the truck is parked we are planning on cementing that all in and covering it ... but for now the truck sits in dirt! lol
& one day we will get fences... for now we DREAM!!!!

don't think you need to see our bedroom or the bathrooms... they pretty basic... lol so thats our house!

Diapers Diapers EVERYWHERE!!!

So our precious 2 year old LUKE has decided that wearing diapers is SO NOT COOL! He wants to be just like "Heyee". So no matter how often I follow this little guy around he ALWAYS finds a place and time to strip the diaper! Now the problem with this is he isn't POTTY TRAINED!!!! He has good intentions and runs to the potty once he sees himself going but then we got a fun pee trail to follow & clean up and by the time he gets the potty his bladder is empty! Matthew says we should duct tape the diapers on but if he WANTS to learn I don't wanna tell him no! So we've compromised and got him in the training underwear so the mess doesn't get everywhere & he is not in diapers! Let me tell ya tho, I sure am doing at least 2 loads of laundry DAILY! LOL The good news? He is making it to the potty EVERY SINGLE time when he has a BM & I'd much rather clean up pee than that! LOL
SO now i've got only 1 left in diapers! YAHOO! SO although we are going through carpet cleaner & laundry soap like crazy! My babies are growing up & learning! Makes a mommy proud!
