Fun at the Beach

On a really hot day a few weeks ago, we decided to go hang out at the beach. Enjoy our photos!

My baby graduated from 4K!

Caleb had a busy last few weeks of school. They had a field trip to the Possibility Playground, Doughnuts with Dads, and they did a class cookout. There was even a little graduation ceremony. I can't believe that my "baby" is ready for kindergarten already!!

Garage -- We love having a place to put our cars and store our outdoor toys (both Caleb's and Tim's lol). Although, I think Caleb is more obsessed with pushing the garage button.

Yard -- Other than having to maintain the yard, we love having a place to play when it's nice outside. I can just let the kids go in the backyard as long as the gate is closed otherwise Sonya will escape and take herself for a walk. We even have a play platform area in the backyard and horseshoe stakes set up too! There's all sorts of plants growing -- I'm learning what they are and trying to keep the areas weeded.

Tulips blooming :-)

Bedrooms -- There are three bedrooms in the house. We were so blessed that they had the perfect colors already on the walls so we didn't need to paint. Caleb's room is a pale, sky blue while Sonya's is a light lavender. The master bedroom walls are hard to describe -- I think they used a textured roller to paint a beige over a light gold sort of color.

Basement -- Half of the basement is finished. We have our computer downstairs as well as a play area and an area to watch movies. It's so nice to have this extra space to entertain and just to hang out as a family.

I know some of you have already seen the house or maybe pictures on facebook. But... for those of you that are reading from afar or don't have access to facebook, here they are:

Kitchen -- It came with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, and a mobile island. We haven't done any painting yet. Maybe some day we'll add a few more of our own touches on the walls.

 Dining Room -- We did a little painting because the yellow/gold color was a bit overwhelming. The green probably looks better in person (or maybe if I had opened the blinds before taking the picture, it'd be better too!)

Living Room -- We painted over the yellow using a light brown color called "mesa" and the wall from the dining room into the living room is the "grape leaves" green. I don't have a photo with our newly acquired loveseat, but it gives the room a more homey feel.
