Our House

So I feel kinda silly posting pictures of our house. I feel like I'm bragging, but everyone keeps asking me to post pics, so here is what I've got done (or at least close enough that I'm ready to show it to everyone).
Here is the front of our house. Believe it or not, Patrick has already done some work on the front yard. There is still a lot to do, but that has to wait till it's not a million degrees outside. At least now it doesn't look so overgrown, and is somewhat nice.
Here is our cute little front porch that one day I hope to have a nice little bench or something there to sit on while the kids ride bikes or something. This is also where all the Black Widow spiders live, and we are hating that, but the bug sprayer guy swears the stuff he uses will kill them, and I hope he is right. I haven't seen any in a while.




Here is the boys room. Brayden and Conner decided that they wanted an Optimus Prime room, so we agreed thinking that red and blue are great for everything from Transformers to Spiderman, sports, anything boy. We are still working on their room a little, we are going to put up a chair rail to separate the red and blue better. It is kinda hard to see, but those are Transformers Wall Stickers all over their room. 
This ENTIRE wall is one big huge closet, and I LOVE it! They can fit all their toy boxes in it, and big trucks. There is tons of room. And below is part of the play area in their room. I love their room, its just huge. We are talking bigger then the Master bedroom, so it's perfect for 2 crazy little boys and all their trucks, toys, legos, etc.




So here is our dinning room and kitchen. I was standing in our family room to take this picture. Pretty much all these rooms are one big room, so it is nice and bright and open. I absolutely love Americana decor, so that it what I've done my kitchen in. The pantry is that door on the far left of the picture, and the bright spot to the right of the table is the door to go out in the backyard. I'd take a picture of that, but it's just dirt and rocks still, so that isn't very interesting.
 


Love my Granite countertops!



Here is quite possibly my favorite room of my house, our formal living room. This is what you walk into from the front door. I love, love, LOVE my red wall. The picture kinda makes it look brighter then it really is, oh well. 
Here is our new living room furniture we just got. We actually have 2 of those chairs, the other is under the front  window, but wasn't exciting enough to take another pic of. It's also hard to tell, but the couch is a really pretty dark charcoal color. I love it! 

Okay, so that is all I have done so far. My house is still a big work in progress. I am happy to report that the number of boxes sitting in the garage is dwindling, so that is progress, right?!?
I'll post more pics in the future. 

We love our new house!!!!

Very cute! Isn't it fun moving into a new house. I loved figuring out what to do with everything, and knowing that I could do whatever I wanted!

I am jealous of your ability to decorate tastefully. I try but it always comes out retarted and then I have to call Janette and she has to come over and advise me. Hopefully one of these days I'll learn...or marry someone who can decorate...but then there's a good chance he would be gay...soooooo...I'll just have to learn.
