Blessing #2
Our home
I kept thinking all day yesterday about when my parents went to pick my brother Jack up from his mission in Honduras. My mom told us stories about so many wonderful people she meet and how they all lived in very small homes or some even huts! But, they were happy & some gave my parents things right off their walls!
I'm so blessed to live where we do and have a place to call home. It is nothing great or big but we love it! I love that it's yellow. Yellow just makes me happy!! The kiddos have lots of room to play outside. There is room for our animals and for Mike's garden. Mike would love to live on a farm or some remote place. And, anyone that knows me knows that would kill me! Gotta be close to shopping! HEE! HEE! So moving to our home was a compromise!
I love my kids schools, friends, our ward, that everything is close & our neighbors.
Today I am blessed for our home!

Home Sweet Home!

Here you go! I'm feeling pretty good right now my friend onehm has asked me to post some pictures of my home so she can show them on her blog. She has been showing a bunch of different homes of her friends. I have loved seeing all the different styles & color combos! I posted these of my scrapbook room awhile back but here they are again. I don't have any pictures of the kiddos rooms which kinda surprised me. But, now since I have switched their rooms around and still have some things to finish. I guess those pictures will have to wait!

The Great Room(This is the second time I have decorated this room)

These pictures are from my old house of the living & dining room
I always loved this room!

The Master Bedroom

Our family room/great room
(which has been decorated again sorry no pictures!)

This is the great room before I redecorated
And also the kitchen

Home Sweet Home

10. Backyard: I love that my kiddos can go and run and play! I had so many pictures of them outside it was hard to pick just one.We love to have Sunday picnics back there, bon fires, Easter egg hunts, baseball, water fights, forts etc...
9.My Journals: I love my journals and that I have record of all the fun and cute things my kiddos say. But, it scares me to have someone reading them when I'm gone. Paige knows where mine are and has my permission to have when I'm gone.
8.Our Kitchen: Now this does not mean I love to cook but, I love the time we spend in here as a family. We love to have BIG breakfasts on Sundays, we eat as a family almost every night, my hubby loves to cook and bake and my kiddos love to help me with dinner.








7.Family Photos: Even if they are not great ones, I do love them!
6. Decorating Books and Magazines: I love to decorate and I'm always thinking about what I could do different with some part of the house. I remember in our last house Mike asking me why I still had the books, the house was decorated? I just love them and sometimes when we are watching tv together I will sit and look at them and even take notes or sketches.
5. My mini scrapbooks: I have these little guys all over my house, in baskets and on shelves. My kiddos love to look at them and they are always wanting to hear a story about the day they
were born or a story about when I was little. I also have a lot of the fun trips we have taken.



4. Our Couch: It's big, it's comfy and it needs to be cleaned! This is where Mike and I hang out watch tv or movies together.

3.My picture of Christ with children: It's not this picture but one like it and I love it! It is on an easel on top of my entertainment center.
2. My scrapbook room: This room is where I hang when my mom and sisters come over. Of course all my scrapbook and crafts are in here and the computer! The kids love to hang out in here also. One Sunday the whole family was in this little room. Cody and Kelsey playing video games, the twins were dancing , I was making hair clips and Mike was on the computer.


1. Our Family Room: This is where we spend a lot of our time together. We love family movie night, playing games, wrestling, pillow fights, family prayer, FHE, family gatherings, home teachers.
