Our New Home

Now that we are finally feeling a bit settled (that is, until the baby arrives!), I thought I'd share some pictures of our new home here in Utah. Please keep in mind that we are not completely set up yet. As in, no pictures hung up yet, no curtains, etc. I actually want to paint before we do that - the white walls are killing me! But here's a little tour for now:


Here it is! Our new home

Why yes, that IS a 3-car garage. We can park both of our cars in it AND store all our stuff - we love it!!
The backyard - not much to talk about but the kids are loving the basketball hoop left behind



Living room - view from front door



Another view



View from living room into formal dining area


Breakfast room, kitchen, dining room


Laundry room - entrance from garage into house


Master Bedroom featuring our new bed! We figured after 9 years it was about time to replace our old mattress. We went from a queen-sized to a California King. I must say it was about time!!


The other side of our bedroom looks like this:


We currently have it set up as the Baby Room!

Eventually we'll probably put a desk in that space, but we're not sure yet.


At the top of the stairs is the loft.


The retro couch we found for $40 for the loft - sweet!

(it even has a fold-out bed for when the kids have movie night)


Upstairs bathroom


Natalie's bedroom


Nathan & Tyler's bedroom


One thing I love about this house is all the storage space. Each of the 4 bedrooms have big walk-in closets. There's a large storage closet under the stairs. Even the linen closet upstairs is big!

Right now we have the 4th bedroom set up as a guest bedroom (hint, hint - anyone want to come visit??), sorry no pics yet. But it may become the baby room. And eventually we'll probably have the 3 boys share a room since the boy's room is big enough! But not for awhile :)


We've met some really nice neighbors on our street and are slowly getting to know people in our neighborhood and ward. It is so weird to me that the 4-5 streets around us are our ward! And yes, we can walk to church - crazy!! So far we are enjoying our new life here.


Now we just need this baby to come to make our home complete!

So much bigger and more fitting for your family than this little rental house you had in Suncrest. Wish you were my neighbor but this is definitely a better fitting home. Looks great!
