In bloom

The Bedroom

Our mothers have been wanting more pictures of the home, so here is one more room. The room is kinda a strange shape - but it is really large which we like. Imagine the state of Idaho on its side and that is the rooms shape. We also have two nice sized windows so it is really bright in the afternoons but stays cool because of the large trees in front. I still don't know what colors to do. We both really like blues, greens, browns, slate black.. basically spring in Idaho country- I love the fields; some plowed, some planted and the random trees and blue blue sky. How to decorate and make a quilt like that? hmmm

We will try to post some more soon, and would have posted sooner but we have been trying to tame the jungle that is our yard. (oh and did you notice.. his and hers closets (Ryan's is why the room is shaped like Idaho).. :))

can you tell that Ryan typed some of this and I did too?

My smart boy.

Carter is so smart. We just had a conversation and I thought I would share it with you.

Bah- points at my water
Would you like a drink?
Bah
Where is your cup?
Bah- points at fridge where we usually have cup with milk in it.

of course it wasn't in there but I love that he knows what I am saying and that he can tell me what he wants (or that I can understand him).

I love my little boy!

Play Time

Carter and his friend Garrett had a lot of fun in C's room a week or so ago. They took turns hiding in the corner by the dresser and poking their head out to find the other one. They had fun laughing at each other. I love watching them play together (well when they are nice).

Sunday Drive

The day was so beautiful that we decided to take a scenic drive after lunch. We went East to Swan Valley and took the forest roads to Falls Creek waterfall. The picture below does not do it justice - while it is not a far drop, the falls are really wide and loud.
Next we kept on the forest road and headed to the reservoir. We had planned on just walking along the shore, but Carter decided to go for a swim. He walked about 5 feet into the water and then just ploped on his belly and started swimming - he went about another 5 feet and started screaming. He has been practicing in the bathtub and apparently wasn't afraid to try in a lake. The only thing that surprised him was the cold.

Orange

Orange is my favorite of the color pictures!
I love his grin! and I love that I finally got it on camera- that is my little boy!

Living Room

I figure we will go one room at a time..

This is our living room. As far as remold goes I think the only thing we really want to do is crown molding.. maybe we have ceiling heat (so I don't know if we can go nailing things up there) and update the lighting. Oh and maybe something with the fireplace we don't love the painted brick but what can we do?

Moving

We moved this morning and yesterday! Still tons to do but Ryan is out in the backyard working that's what he likes. and Carter is running around what he likes. and I am cleaning what I like... umm not really but Thank you for the help family and friends you guess made it possible.

I am so excited for this next stage of our life!


Pictures to come.
