(6.30)--New House, Moving Day

We are HOMO---wners!! (:

We Bought a New House...!!!! Yay!!!!


It was so awesome to see the Lord provide for this need. For some time now, we have been house hunting. Because Ace is so good at fixing up the house, he was frothing at the bit wanting to move out. We looked at 4-5 houses and we were starting to think there wasn't anything in our price range...then we looked at "The Barn House"...I named all the houses we looked as not to get them confused with each other. Anyway, as we walked thru the house we loved it!! We could see such potential...we also made a list o' things we HAD to have in the house, and this house had all o' them. Here's our list:

We wanted off street parking....................................CHECK!! 2.75 Carport!
Ace needed a work shop place...................................CHECK!! One Car Garage!
I HAD to have TWO bathrooms................................CHECK!! 2 FULL bathrooms!
A guest room for visitors/family that visit...............CHECK!! Half finished basement with full bath!


So as we finished looking at the house we stood underneath the carport and said to Heather (our realtor)...can we make an offer on the house?

They accepted and we were going to be HOMEOWNERS!!

We signed papers to buy our house at 9:00 a.m.

We are HOMO......owners!! (:

We started to move stuff at 9:15 a.m. when we got back to the house.


Our first letter addressed to our NEW address!



It took 3 HOURS to get everything from the old house to the new house!!


Pizza from OIP for all the hard workers.


We had SOO many people that helped us.

Mama McCall & Ashley

Aren't they so cute?

My favorite Uncle Chucky came to help too...I love him!! (:

Hannah and Ace taking a break.

Nick taking a break after carrying a buttload o' boxes!!


So nice to see Hannah and have her help us move!

Me telling everybody what to do...

Haha..I just love this picture...


Which way should we put the bed...

Choosing the right spot for the bed is a REAL concern!!


Haha...such goofs, aren't they?

Look how strong they are....SUPER STRONG!!!

Ace checking out our attic...
...we will not be putting stuff up there...

Ash and Es taking picture o' our progress!!

Me and my li'l sis...ASHLEY!!

Mark and Matt stopped by to visit...

...They went to the park.



Weston putting his knee pads on...safety first!!
(last time he fell and got a BIG gash in his leg)

I just love this girl...she's so flippin' sweet!

Susan LOVED this wallpaper!!

It was so awesome to have everyone help us. We had 5 trucks and a trailer! We filled up each of the trucks 2 time...and 3 o' the trucks and the trailer we filled up 3 times!! We moved everything in 3 hours...which is unbelievable! I also realized that we had soo much stuff!! The goal is to get rid o' a lot o' it!! Hopefully, we shall see how that all works out!!

So awesome to have such wonderful friends to help us move!! (: So thanks to everyone that helped! I didn't get a chance to take many pictures cause I was busy unpacking items that we'd need for THAT night!! It's so awesome to see how the Lord provides for us and for our amazing friends!! (:

THE END!!!

(6.15)--House hunting....

Hmm...what house should we get??

We've been looking to buy a house, so since my dad pretty much knows everybody he was showing us a house that was for super cheep, 5 acres o' land; however, it needed a good deal o' updating. Since Johnny and Lindsay were around we all went to look at the house...I love how we can make anything a fun time. Here are some o' the pictures...

This is
the shed...

Lindsay told me I'd be all ready for Easter decorations...

Gorgeous Carport...

OOOooo...a lovely place for my veggies? ...or flowers?


Outside fire chimney...


Walking to go see the house...

A place to park our riding lawn mower, tractor, four wheeler, and snow blower...

Lovin' the decorations...

Old well maybe...we better watch our step...


More decorations for St. Patty's Day...


Shed with some chairs and a bag o' garbage treasures...

Johnny being silly for the picture...

...after Lindsay yelled at him...Much BETTER!!


Where we would send our children to play...
...TOTALLY JUST KIDDING...


Ah...on to the inside o' the house....

The pantry...

What a lovely bathroom, yeah?

See the train going by outside the window?


Lindsay, don't get your finger pinched by the mouse trap!!!

Johnny the BEAST!!

Taking a picture o' Johnny from outside to inside...


He says the bathroom works GREAT!!

Lindsay trying out the shower...

We enjoyed looking at the house, but we felt it was too much work for us, so we shall keep looking. Yes, this post is 4 months late, so most o' you should know that we did buy a new house...I'll try to work on posting more pictures here shortly...

THE END!!!
