Boys will be boys

I live in a house full of boys. There is my husband, our 16 yr old, our 9 yr old, and our 6 yr old. Needless to say, there is never a dull moment around here. There are also very few quiet moments around here. :) The other night there was a comotion at the end of the hall. Not a frantic, "we are having issues" comotion, but a "we're having way to much fun" type of comotion. So, I went to check it out. This is what I found.















Yep, that's all the boys. David (16) is on the bottom. Then it's Dave (dh). Then Lucas(9) in the storm trooper costume. Griffin (6) is on the top. :) They were all having a blast wrestling together. :)

More Pic of the House.



Well, since I finally got the pictures from the camera uploaded to the computer I figured I'd share some more pics of the house.


Here is the back yard and the shed. Dave loves this shed it's huge. :)


Here's a view of the back of the house. I think Dave's standing at the back fence, or pretty close to it. You can see the porch on the side.




Here's a better pic of the porch. That's the kitchen window to the left and the door leads to the front living room. There is another door to the left, but you can't see it in this pic. It leads to the back living room

Here is the front living room. We love those built-ins. Ignore the scaffolding. These were taken while they were still in the house painting and stuff.



Here is the kitchen. The counter tops were still not in. The dishwaser was not in either. They were working on removing the oh so lovely wall paper from the walls above the cabinet and painting them.


Here is another view of the kitchen. You can see the pass through to the back living room. That is where the cook top is now. You can also see the wall oven. I love that wall oven.



Here's a view of the pass through from the back living room.

Here is the back living area with the second fireplace.




Here is another picture of the front of the house.

Long Overdue Update

Wow, it's been forever since I posted here. Not that many people read this, but still. :) Anyway. Since my last post we have moved half way across the world, visited family, traveled to our new assignment, did some house hunting, bought a house, registered kids in new schools, recieved our household goods shipment, bought a new fridge and washer, un-registered one of the kiddos, and started homeschooling. Yep, I think that's it. :) Needless to say, it has been one busy summer for our family. :)

Here's a picture of the front of our house. We love it. :) There are some things we plan to do inside, but nothing major. :) The kids love having a big back yard to play in and we like having something of our very own.




Well, I have dinner to cook and a family to tend to, so I am going to be signing off for now. :) I will do my best to post more often. :)
