"Yay! We're moving!"

Much of the craziness in the past few months has stemmed from the fact that we were house hunting and then getting all of the paperwork and whatnot through for...


our new house! Ta-da! This picture is from the online listing because I realized I don't have a decent shot of the entire front in my own photos.

Our closing date is currently set for April 8th, and then we will be moving in that weekend. The house is in Springville, so we won't be going too far, but I think it will be a nice change. We are really excited about the move as well as dreading getting it all done. Wish us luck! We would also welcome help in the form of box-lifting, furniture-hauling, apartment-cleaning, and kid-watching. :)

Here are a few more photos for anyone interested. Especially since I'm sure it will be a while until I can get pictures up of the house with all of our stuff moved in.


View from the front yard. Hooray for beautiful mountains!


Entry way/front room. Just to the left of this picture is...


this! It's a split-level home, so there are stairs going up to the bedrooms, and stairs going down to the family room.


View from kitchen into dining area (these are both on the main level).


We were lucky enough to get a brand new stove, microwave, and dishwasher! (This house was a government repo, and they replaced the appliances to make the home easier to sell. They also replaced all of the carpet and gave it a fresh coat of paint! Wahoo!)


Alex dancing around in the master bedroom. We are pretty excited to be able to fit more than our bed and a narrow path to walk around it.


View of our backyard from the master. To the right of this picture is a large garden patch that we will definitely put to good use! And the small white shed and swing set are ours. The swing set needs some repairs before it can be used, but Alex is so happy to have, as he says, "mine very own slide!"


Here he is being a gangsta in one of our bathrooms.


Part of the large storage space under the stairs and the main level.


Laundry and utility room. Not finished, but functional. :)


Downstairs bedroom, which for now will function as an office/craft room/guest room. (There are three bedrooms upstairs. I just didn't have a decent picture of the boys' rooms).


My three handsome men in the back part of the family room.


The aforementioned garden patch.


Rose bushes along the back of the house.


I think this face pretty much sums up our feelings. :)

Our Handsome Irish Boys

We woke up this morning to discover leprechauns had taken over our house. They danced silly jigs, ate all of my chocolate cupcakes, and participated in general shenaniganery. I caught one and demanded it give me gold, but it insisted that it only had a piggy bank full of pennies, kissed my cheek, and ran away again.



Then we all sat down together to watch "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" so the leprechauns could admire King Brian at work. We're looking forward to corned beef and cabbage for dinner--my first attempt, so let's hope I have the luck of the Irish and it turns out delicious!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the Leavitts and our little mischief makers!
