Moving Day!

We decided awhile ago to move on to our next (and final) home so we listed our house with an real estate agent in April - it sold in June and we closed last week. We had to move a little earlier because Ryan has been out of town. We are excited - but also kind of sad. We really loved our home in Perry and put an amazing amount of time into fixing it up. Here is a before picture of our home - you can see that we added the garage and the roof over the porch - and redid all the exterior siding and the front door (not to mention all the stuff we did inside!!)
Here is what it looked like when we sold it. You can't see it too well - but I loved my front door that Ryan built - it was knotty alder with v-groove panels and six little windows across the top.

And this is where we are now. We love this home and where it is - it is the farmhouse on Ryan's parents farm - the home that Ryan's dad grew up in. We are going to be doing some extensive remodeling and I'll keep you updated on that as we go - for now we have installed a couple new windows in the front and cut some sheetrock in the kitchen (we had to buy a new fridge and it didn't fit....let the remodeling begin...)

Quick Update!!

Here is a quick update of what we have been doing since Easter (the last time I blogged!). They are completely out of order - but we have been having a great summer and keeping very busy!

Here is Ryan on the Snake River, I think he is the second back on the right side of the photo.

Waiting for the Oakley Rodeo to start - this is a great rodeo with fun fireworks afterwards.

The girls waiting at grandma's house for the 4th of July parade in Perry. Ryan was in Denver for the 4th so the girls and I had kind of a quiet day!

Familiy photo under the arches in Jackson Hole. Spent a day in Jackson waiting for everyone else to come up and ride the Snake River this year. The river was great and everyone had fun. Ryan ended up buying his own raft last week - so if you ever want to run the river - he always needs an excuse to go!!!

Tonight we went over to the church and did a slip and slide down the hill. The girls had a blast and my bathtub is now full of grass!

The Stewart cousins at the Oquirrah Mountain Temple open house (minus Brant and Kyler - who went to the car, and Baby Sophie - who was sleeping)

Wilcox Cousins moved back to the good old USA and were able to stay with us for a few weeks before they headed back to Denver. We loved having them here and spending time with them!

Ashlyn and Maddie went to ballet camp - and loved every minute of it!!

Ashlyn graduated from preschool. She loved preschool this last year - what could be better than spending two hours a day with your two cousins and two fabulous teachers!

Morgan finished the second grade and can't wait for third. This is a field trip I was able to go on with her. A few perks of being a teacher - I got paid to go on field trips with my daughter!!
