For Spring Break, our family MOVED!
We are in our new home, but we still have a lot to do! We spent the week staying up late and organizing and hauling things back and forth. The kids still had fun enjoying new bedrooms and a HUGE backyard, and we tried to break it up a little by playing at the park or having friends over. Here are some pictures of the outside of the home.

East Side
The backyard is HUGE-is it horse property! We love the set up!
Lots of room to ride bikes!
The house is 5000 sq. ft. We have so much storage it's unbelievable! The house needs some work and is a little outdated, but it really is a dream home for us! We're right across from my parents and we only moved a mile away. Close to work and friends. We're excited about it, and the kids LOVE it! They call it the BIG HOUSE.I'll post pictures of the rooms once we finally get them organized.
The kids were cute to help clean up. They wanted to do ALL the dishes!
Noah helped too!
YES, that's carpet in the kitchen!
The boys started baseball this week, which was really exciting for them because dad is helping to coach again. And the girls took a trip to Tucson for another Cinderella pageant! (we just went to compete for scoresheet this time, where the judges give you comments and critiques on how you did)
We rode up with Angela Thompson and her girls Emma & Ashlyn

Today is Sunday and we attended a new ward. It was bitter sweet. I really missed Harmony Park today. It's sad to not see your friends at church, especially when you don't get to see them that often throughout the week. BUT, our new ward is great and we have really enjoyed moving into a ward that is equally as wonderful. Change is great and change is hard. Moving has had it's pros and cons. I'm overwhelmed and extremely grateful at the same time. There are things I already miss about my old house and neighborhood, and there are things that I have fallen in love with here in our new place. I hope that this will turn out to be a wonderful experience for our family. If anyone from HP reads this, please know that your friendship and love has meant so much to our family. We will miss being a part of your ward, but we hope to always be a part of your lives.

Great post. I can't wait to see the house when I am there. Life is funny. Who would have thought years ago that when I was over at the Porters home, it was actually the home that you would eventually live in.
Okay, and I can't get over how dang cute Gracie looks for church!
I am so excited for you and your family! It will be a great home to raise your family and what is better then to be right across from the dance studio. And yes Gracie looks so CUTE for church I even had to enlarge the picture to see how cute she looked. If you need any help settling in let me know!
