House update.

I've been a little MIA lately because:

1. Its summer holidays so we've been out enjoying the nice weather. And..

2. Because we just moved over the past weekend so we've been busy packing, moving, and now unpacking and organizing.

We are happy that the school year is over. The kids all had a great school year and did awesome on their report cards. Ty got the citizen award in his class, which means he is a great leader and friend.

Ha. he's happier then he looks. What is it with boys and not smiling nice for the camera. This Mama is so very proud. Here are some colorful pics of the kids on their sports day. They had a fun color run.

Its been a little stressful around here the last few weeks trying to get everything ready for our move and getting everything ready for building. Everything seems to be falling nicely into place though. We moved into a smaller house close to where we are building. We're a little squished but its a nice space and will be fine for 9-12 months while we build. We had so many people here to help us move that it went quite quickly. Thanks to our family and the wonderful people from our community who showed up to help us. We are so grateful. Here is a pic of our Kitchen from the living room.

We are getting settled and love our new neighborhood. The kids have lots of friends near by. I spent 2 days cleaning out our house and getting it ready for the new buyers. It was an exhausting two days but we got it all done and ready. It was definitely bittersweet saying goodbye to our house. Its been good to us over the last 5 years.

But we are excited to move on to our house building adventure. Here is our empty lot which is just down the street from our last house.

We are just getting bank and permit stuff worked out right now but are hoping to be digging the basement next weekend. Can't believe this is actually happening and I'm excited to keep you updated on the progress.
