New House!!!!






So, we moved..... Yet Again! I think this will be the 3rd time we have moved houses in 1 year. thats just crazy!!! lol



But I think this one will be our home until Nick's re-enlistment comes up in about 5 years. It is duplex, 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with a 2 car attached garage. Its very nice and cozy. We had to get moved in less than two weeks because of my surgery being scheduled for the 23rd of March. We got the keys on the 3rd, we were completley done Moving by the 9th and then we had to clean every square inch of the old house.




Our backyard.... if you can call it that. The lining of the barkdust is our fence. lol They ran out of money.
This is our Dining Room.



































Obviously our Kitchen. It's smaller than the other house, but we have a Pantry so really I have more cabinet space. =)



















































































All the bedrooms are upstairs, and this one is Austins Rooms. It is the Smaller of the two spare rooms. We did that so the guest's could have a little more space since the Computer and craft table are also in the Guest bedroom.

















This is the Spare Bedroom.































\Our main bathroom, downstairs. There is a shower to the right of the pic, no bath tub though.






The Master Bedroom and Closet! I love having a celing fan and our Closet is HUGE! Even though most of our closet is filled with Nicks stuff its still nice for extra storae.


















































Austin's bathroom is upstairs.












This is our tiny little living room. I dont know why they made it so darn small but they did. There is just barley enough room for the couch, loveseat, entertainment center and a book shelf. and we managed to squeeze the coffee table in.







Austin is talking more and more. He is 19 1/2 months now. He can do simple comands like, throw it away, put it on the counter, pick it up, go and get a diaper and wipes. He is also talking more, he will answer you when you ask or tell him something. most of the time he answers right with a yes, no or ok.









Here are some recent pics.

Wow, 1 Year Already!














































March 1st was the 1 year mark for us living here in Mtn Home. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. We have made so many great friends that have become a second family to us. We are really enjoying our time here.




























Although we miss everyone back home like you wouldnt believe, we are happy here and will continue to be happy here if things keep on going like they are now. We found out today that we are going to be moving into a new house (on base) hopefully before my surgery comes in three weeks!



Austin is growing like a weed. He seems to get bigger everyday and is always learning new sounds and trying to make words. His current thing that he loves to do right now is to help throw things away. We can hand him something and tell him to go put it in the trash and he will walk right over, open the cabinet and put it in the trash, he then looks back at you with a big smile and a proud look on his face. It is so cute. He has almost hit 19 months and as much as we would like to have another one we must wait for my back to heal from surgery but as soon as we get the all clear you all will be getting a call. ;)


Nick has started his own business doing Truck bed liners for private parties. He has two customers lined up right now so he should complete his first project this weekend. Its not a lot but its a little extra money on the side and it gives him a project.













As for my business, Scentsy is Booming! haha. I now have 4 people directly under me selling and one person under one of them selling, so my checks are increasing little by little. I am planning on attending Convention again this year but it is in Salt Lake City, UT. I already have my hotel booked and tranportation figured out and I am super excited!



Well, I think I have typed your ear off enough so here are some more pics of recent days for your viewing pleasure. =) Some are back from our Super Bowl Party.

Austin was stealing Avlynns food so she was fighting back. lol

Valentines Day Weekend 2009

This Valentine's Day was extra special! My sister, Leslie, and her son TJ came to visit us. They arrived on Friday afternoon and left on Monday.


Tj and Austin Had a blast playing together. It makes me so sad that they can not see eachother more often. Unlike Leslie's last visit we had a full fun filled weekend. lol Now that we actually have friends our life is busy but great.




My most favorite little Nephew in the World!!!


I am so Proud of him.








Austin had a Birthday party to go to for one of his friends, then we had a get together at Melessa's new house and then we had our usual card night at our house. Leslie was able to meet most of our friends and see what our life is really like here in Mtn Home! =)





Here are some pics from the weekend!
