Our First Home!

Another reason I was so far behind on blogging was because we were searching and trying to decide if it was the right time to by a house. We wanted to be closer to Nick's office in Bountiful, but wanted to live in a newer neighborhood with kids. We started looking in Kaysville and didn't really find anything we feel in love with, then our realtor suggested to look in Syracuse my first thought was that we did not want to live way out there. But we went one night and looked at several homes in that area and we fell in love with it. I told Nick after looking at the houses out there I would be happy in any of them. Most of the ones we were looking at were short sales which can sometimes take a really long time to get into, then we found this home that was a foreclosed home, it needed some work but we saw great potential. Going into all this we said if things worked out then it was time, if not then we would wait a little longer. But things sure have worked out with this house. The kitchen floor had to be fixed because the dishwasher leaked and it was in bad shape. The seller fixed the kitchen floor because the appraiser said it had to be done before we could close. We were going to fix the floor ourselves, but now we don't have to, which is such a great blessing. We are so excited about our first home and we will be cleaning and doing a few more things this week and then we will move in on Saturday. We are excited to feel a little more settled. The school the kids will be attending is brand new and Austin can't wait to start. When we get all moved in I will do some before and after pictures but for now here is a picture of the front and back. We are so excited to have a fully fenced back yard too.
It is 4 bedrooms 3 1/2 baths. It has a great big walk in closet in the master bedroom which I am super excited about.

We are truly blessed and so excited that things have worked out!

Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween. We went to Nick's sisters house for a little party, then we came back home and went trick r treating around the neighborhood. It was a great day!

Adyson refused to wear her wings, but she still looked cute!

Nick's parents with most of the grand kids! Missing 5 and there is 1 on the way!

Carving our Pumpkin

We were planning on going to a pumpkin patch and it just never happened. It is hard to do much when Nick doesn't get home until 6 and the Saturday we picked to go it started raining. So I did not buy a single pumpkin this year. The only reason we had this one was because my friend gave it to me. Next year we will do better.
The kids were very excited to carve the pumpkin, they wanted a happy face!

Adyson was the only one of the kids that would reach inside the pumpkin, it was pretty funny.

The final product!

Fishing with Grandpa in Vernal

We decided to take a little trip to Vernal to see Grandma and Grandpa Weber to do a little fishing before it got to cold.
Austin was so patient. They did not have much luck but he didn't care he just enjoyed being outside.

Adyson just along for the ride!

Corbin had more fun throwing rocks!

Brodie giving it a try!

We had better luck skipping rocks then catching fish that day!

Finally!!!

I know I said that I was going to get everything updated a few weeks ago and it never happened. Nick's laptop crashed on me, and then everyone (except me) got very very sick so blogging was the last thing on my mind. Now everyone is better and I am using the computer Nick got last year at NDSU's auction for $25, I guess it is a good thing we have a lot of computers because they are not my friend lately.
So first things first,
My parents came to visit us early October for a weekend and we had a great time. We didn't really take a lot of pictures shame on me! They got to watch Austin and Brodie each play a soccer game, we ate yummy food, went to Temple Square, went swimming and did some shopping. They even watched all four kids for us overnight at the hotel. It was the first time that Nick and I both have been away from the kids for an entire night, we had a great night going to a movie and hanging out.

We took a tour of the conference center and that was the only place we took pictures all weekend.
Stay tuned a lot more post to come!!

I really should blog more!!!

I really need to upload my pictures to Nick's laptop so I can blog. My computer has been down for a while, so I have been using Nick's laptop. I really didn't want to put all of our pictures on here, but I guess I might have to break down and do it because it does not look like my computer is going to be fixed anytime soon. So here is to getting motivated to put the pictures on the laptop, maybe in the next couple of days!
