Future Home

Here is another boring house update. The completion date is coming fast and I am getting excited to finally have a place of our own. We have been told that the house will be completed by May 16th. So sometime the following week we will have a new owner orientation. This is where we get to walk through the home and check for any flaws,etc that need to be taken care of before we move in and they also train us on some of the home features, such as the sprinkler system. As long as there are no further delays our closing date will be May 30th. I am hoping to paint the walls before we move in since the builder only offers white walls, but I am sure this next month will fly by quickly and we will be moving in no time.
We made a trip to see the house yesterday and it was exciting to see the progress that has been made. The exterior of the house has been stuccoed, now it just needs paint and stone added. The interior was freshly painted and most of the doors had been hung. Now just for touch ups, cabinets, floors, and a few other details and they will be all done, yay!

                Exterior: there will be stone on both sides of the window.

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend this year. We started Saturday morning at the ward Easter party/egg hunt. Nathan wanted to invite his friend Jacob along so both Dave and I agreed it would be good idea to attend the party this year. Jacob and Nathan are pretty much inseparable these days and I often worry that his parents must be getting really sick of having him around all the time. Although they assure me that they love having Nathan over, and I love having Jacob over too, so win win for both our families.
They had fun jumping on the trampoline, decorating cookies, learning about Jesus and why we celebrate Easter, eating lunch, and finally the egg hunt.

                                           This is how Brady eats a cookie, yum!

Saturday night we finally got around to dyeing some eggs.

Sunday morning the boys found their baskets full of goodies hidden by the Easter Bunny.

Then it was off to church..my boys sure are handsome!

After church we were joined by the Baerwaldt family and McNutt family for Easter dinner and another egg hunt. Nathan always loves spending time with his cousins.
