THE GRAND TOUR!!!

Well here it is, the house is in no way ready and all set up, but I thought if I didn't do it now I might never get around to posting pics.  The whole entire house is eventually going to be re-painted. The next painting projects will be the Orange wall in the family room/ dinning room area. I am going to paint it a deep red. Then the Master bedroom and bathroom, then hopefully the spare bedroom in the basement. We will probably take a break for a while after that and pay someone to paint the rest of the house so it looks really good and professional.

So here it is, in all it's messy disorganized glory.

without a doubt my favorite part of the house, a fenced in backyard with a huge play centre.

The Master Bathroom which will soon be painted Forest Glen

The Master Bedroom will be Forest Glen on the bottom and Chocolate Froth on the top. Love the space and having fun thinking of fun ideas for the room.

My second favorite part of my house. A WALK IN CLOSET!!!!

The view from the Master Bedroom, soon that wall will be red.

Macie's room

THE DEN!!! I love love love it and the way it turned out.  Also love the desk, got it in the mail on tuesday and it is so awesome to have for organizing life and working on the computer.

This wall will have some cute black and white decor on it and I am staining the table black as well.

The Main floor bathroom.

The stairs to the Master Bedroom

Family room. Can't wait to get the wall painted so I can start putting up pictures.

Kitchen/dinning room. I miss my huge kitchen, but love newer appliances and a DISHWASHER, YAY!!

Front Entrance

Our very messy garage. Love that it is attached.

Stairs to the basement.

awesome storage under the stairs.

Downstairs Family Room

soon to be Macie's play area and air hockey area.

Basement Bathroom

Awesome spare bedroom. Nice and big. I can't wait to paint and decorate this room I have so many fun, cute ideas.

and the awesome laundry room. I love the cupboards so nice for storage. As well there is a nice area for food storage on the opposite side of this wall.

BIRTHDAYS, BIRTHDAYS AND MORE BIRTHDAYS!!

This month is such a special one it's birthday time for me, and Hakon, and Russell, and Royall, and Rhonda, and Dani and Brock and Colton and Abbie, and Annika and Uncle Bob and Uncle Jeff and Vanessa and I am sure I have missed someone. Maybe it is because it is my birthday month that I remember more people who share this month with me, but seriously it seems like there are a lot of friends and family with September Birthdays. So For my B-Day we did a quick trip to my parents house to visit and then headed to Barrhead to celebrate Mark's Aunt Rhonda and "Uncle" Mark's 50th Birthday. It was quick but fun and full of tons of good food.  Macie was a lucky girl and got to see all of her Grandparents this weekend as Vickie made the trek up to Barrhead for the Birthday Bash. I forgot to get pics at the birthday party but will post a few we took in Ponoka.

BAND CONCERT!!!!

Today me and Macie had our first Band Concert.  We had so much fun banging on all the pots and pans and singing some of her favorite songs. Like A Smile goes a long long way, skinermarink, rockin robin, splish splash and of course if your happy and you know it.

after about 15 minutes it eventually turned into lets pick the pots up and play with them.

I PHONE PHOTO DUMP!!!

I love our new I Phones for quick cute photos, especially when the camera is not around.

A SNEAK PEAK

BEFORE

a little happier now that life is starting to feel more normal

AFTER

okay a lot happier

Hello fun backyard for us to play in, Macie already loves the little kiddie swing

So there are already so many reasons I love this house better and Lloydminster better, but to pay some respect to the old house first I will list the things I miss about it.
#1 of course without fail the Hot Tub
#2 That Mine room, Macie's room and the bathroom were so close together, I know as that gets older it will change, but while she is little it was so nice to be able to put her in her room to play while I got ready.
#3 Going for walks at night. Even with Mark I don't know if I would feel safe going on walks after dark. In Kitscoty I felt safe going by myself, although after my incident in Lethbridge if it was really dark and really late I wanted Mark to go with me.
#4 The traffic was much calmer in Kitscoty
#5 our neighbours.

What I love about being back in Lloydminster and this new house I Could go on and on and on, here are just a few things
-a fenced in backyard
-a walk in closet, and ensuite
- 3 bedrooms upstairs
-a way bigger master bedroom
- that everything is 2 minutes away. Today I am walking to staples with Macie and then walmart for groceries. Glorious is what it is
- newer appliances
- the feel of a newer house and that everything is more modern and nicer looking
- my bigger backyard, not only is it fenced in but it is bigger
- and again that everything is 2 minutes away. That is without a doubt the best part.

Love the new house and Love being in Lloyd. I am repainting all of the walls and will show more pictures of the house as I get them all done. Up next is the den. 

Could it get any worse

This poor little girl is not only dealing with an endless irritated eye, this past week she has gotten a runny nose that just won't go away. To make matters worse we moved these past two days, plus I have been painting so her life and our house is in total and complete chaos. Oh and to top it off she is getting her first tooth. Lets just say this week for her and myself has been a long one.

could this be anymore pathetic
