Closing on our house!

So the week when we were suppose to close on our house Sam had this great opportunity to go to Ecuador! He had a couple of hick ups getting there and they were not his fault may I add! Anyways, he left Monday early afternoon and was suppose to get there that night but he ended up getting there Tuesday evening. The plan was to get home Thursday but since Sam and his coworker got there so late they wanted to extend his stay. Unfortunately, he couldn't stay until Friday because of our house situation like we had to close by Saturday and with paperwork and such it would have taken a day. It was cutting it super close if he came home Friday! So Thursday he got here at 11 and we went to go sign papers we were so excited! I don't know if you saw but I had a couple selfie posts about buying a home haha. Sam was not happy with me because something happened Friday morning that almost lost us the house and then I had posted all over social media that we bought a house and blah blah blah! haha he was so stressed out! I really should've waited until we HAD the house. Thursday after we signed papers we went to go celebrate at the wonderful Cheesecake Factory! I've never been and it was so freaking good!! Also, Alaina was a doll! I have pictures that are just beautiful!

Love her face!

Blurry but she is a doll! 

Friday evening we got THE CALL that the house was OURS! We were BEYOND EXCITED!

XOXO

Offially Home Owners Part 2

The next day I got more paint to do a second coat of Agreeable Gray on our living room wall. The sister missionaries came over as well to help take out staples and sweep the floor. They were so sweet and very helpful! 

We took off the painters tape and our wall  looked so good!

That day we also got our appliances. The house didn't come with a refrigerator nor washer and dryer. 

Our sweet washer and dryer and my wonderful husband!

I've always wanted to take a picture like this. SILLY I know! :)

Our beautiful kitchen without our refrigerator!

Kitchen with refrigerator! 

We had enough of that wonderful Agreeable Gray that we painted the entry way. We plan on doing all the hallway walls that color but the paint that we bought was a little more expensive than just regular so it's going to have to wait! :) One step at a time! 

Nothing too special happened this night but we got our walls painted. Again, I'd like to thank the McIntyre's for helping us finish painting the walls. 

XOXO

Officially Home Owners!

About 3 weeks ago we got the keys to our new home! I still can't believe we own our first home. This home was made for us. Our Realtor showed us about 6 homes in one day and nothing compared to this one. We kind of felt that she showed us really crappy homes so that we would buy this one. haha it didn't matter because whenever I would look online nothing would compare. We are so happy! No more turning down my music during one of my jamming sessions with Alaina or just me haha. No more rules on painting or poking holes through walls. We are so grateful for this home we couldn't have asked for more!

Let me show you pictures!
Now we are still working on some things so you have to bare with me. :)

Home Sweet Home! It's quite brown.. we plan on taking care of that in the near future. 

As soon as the McIntyre's could they came right over to help us out from giving Alaina a bath to painting and tearing down walls. 

Look at those super YUCKY YELLOW walls! That was taken care of that night!

As soon as we could we also took out the carpet!

You see this wall?!?!

Tony felt the need to stick his head in between the bars! haha (for picture purposes) 

It didn't take long before we decided to tear it down!

It's gone!!! Well the bars are!

That's me taking care of that ICKY YELLOW with some Agreeable Gray from Sherwin Williams! We kind of know someone that works there! :) 

Courtney and Tony working hard! :) 

The wall is gone!
This is where we ended the night! It looks good huh!?! I know! Just wait until you see the rest! 

We are so grateful for the McIntyre's for helping us out that night! Thank you! 

I'll keep you updated on what we did next! :)

Easter 2014!

This Easter I didn't get to do everything I wanted to for Alaina! The Friday before Easter we got the keys to our new house so we spent the whole weekend at the house painting and tearing down walls. We stayed up too late and were exhausted from doing lots of things! 

Sunday morning we woke up at 8:30AM and had some breakfast and since I do programs for church we have to leave on time to make them. That didn't happen we left at 9:45AM and church starts at 10:00AM. Yea, we made it ON TIME to church! I felt so bad. Don't worry I apologized! We wanted to leave early but we ended up staying until the end and took some pictures outside. YOU'RE GOING TO DIE! Alaina is so cute! 

These was like the first picture.. doesn't Sam look like a model? haha :) 

Taylor loved playing with Alaina!

He also wanted to see how much taller he is than her. 

I'm dying from all the cuteness!

She was talking to me in this picture and the next. I just had to post! 

Who knows what she was really telling me. 

LOVE!

Alaina and daddy! 

As soon as we got home I hurried and tried to go hide eggs for her to hunt but she wasn't having it. After she realized that the eggs had candy she just gave up and wanted candy! Hopefully next year she will be more open to hunting! :) 

We had a great Easter and we're so grateful for our Heavenly Father because of Him we are here today! 

XOXO

Spring is here and here to stay...

OR NOT!!....

Just saw on the weather channel app says that it is suppose to sleeeeeeet on Tuesday!! WHAT!?!? Ugh! Well whatever the rest of the week looks seriously wonderful I think I remember it saying it would be like high 60s!

This past week we took every chance to go outside or to the park. We went to the park Monday night, Wednesday morning, and Saturday morning. Seriously!! EVERY CHANCE WE GOT! and plus Alaina loves being outside she literally cries when we bring her back inside... it's like she was born to be outside all day long!


House update:
I don't know what happened but we are for sure going to close on the house on Thursday which means that Friday we will have the keys to our NEW HOME!! I'm seriously so excited! I can't wait to get out of our town home we have grown out of it so quickly it's insane! Since we have the month of April to move in we will be painting and updating our home! Just a little TLC and it will be perfect!

Sam update:
He's going to Ecuador!! What?!?! He called me Tuesday from work and was like do you know where my passport is? I go yea it's in it's usual spot.. why? and he goes I'm going to Ecuador! The first thing I did was SCREAM! What?!? I want to goooooo! Yea right if ONLY!! In my dreams right?! ONE DAY! Well he gets another stamp on his passport where it has a million places already stamped! :)

Alaina process:
She's wonderful! She did a somersault this evening right before bed and we got it on video! LOVE HER! Oh, and she got a new ride and has been riding it ever since she got it! Thanks Sender Family! :)

She loved stepping down and going back on the sidewalk. 

Her teeth are just so cute!!

She got mad that we wouldn't let her walk in the mud even though she was already muddy.
