Home, Home on the Range!!! IT'S HERE!!

        Our house rolled in to its new destination of Holbrook this morning at 9:00!  Blaine got a call last night that our house was in Burley and that it was going to be here in the morning.  We were supprised and very excited because it wasn't supposed to be here until Monday.  Well actually we only have half a house as of right now.  The other half will be here Monday, so we will anxiously await the arrival of the second half.

There she is!! Beautiful sight!

I was in the middle of getting ready and Blaine ran in and said, "Heather, it's here." I ran out in the road with the camrea and took these pictures.  Blaine was in the house with Dayton and I did a little jig in the road and he saw me and was like what was that?  I told him I was just so happy!

The proud owner.

All our paper work has become reality.

The Bird's House! Dayton slept the entire time we were checking it out but he will love to have his own room.

Happy Day!

Dayton Can Smile

        Oh how our little boy is growing so quickly. We both agree that life was good when it was just the two of us but now it is SO much better with Dayton. We love being the three musketeers. Dayton was learning to smile and grin at six weeks but of course we could never capture a picture of his first official smile. Between 7-8 weeks he started to smile in response to us. Oh this is really what life is all about. Blaine often reminds me that, especially after Dayton has just thrown a big crying fit, finally settles down and falls asleep on Blaine’s chest, he will turn to me and tell me “This is what life is all about”. Amazingly he is 10 weeks old this week and we think he is so adorable (if you can't tell). He has started to coo a little bit too. Dayton's favorites are; his binki, his swing, his mommy and daddy, watching mommy and daddy walking around, his baths, his bouncy chair with his woodland animal friends, and he loves being held and cuddled. I can't even begin to give him enough hugs and kisses. We love our Dayton! (When I can finally get a picture of him smiling then I will post it)!

House ABC's

        Maybe the mom in me is starting to come through. I was thinking about building blocks as I walked to go see the basement being poured and then I thought they have the abc's on them. I know I am weird with my analogy but a house really is built with abc's. first it starts with A. In our case A is for Acre. Our house is built on one acre (as previously stated in our last post). B is for Basement. Our basement is being poured today. C is for concrete. The basement is made out of concrete. We are very excited to have our abc’s moving along.

The trucks are here in the freezing cold to pour!  Too bad Dayton wasn't older because he would have loved to see the cement trucks.

This is the front were the door will be.

Our sweet little boy.  Dayton and I walked to go see the basement (Blaine was trucking) and I bundled him up really good.  He really is our "bundle" of joy!

Look at how stinkin' cute he is!

New House!!

        Blaine and I have been looking for a manufactured home to move into Holbrook for nearly a year now.  After running in to problem after problem we are finally getting somewhere with it.  At the end of December we made the decision to buy a home through Hathaways. We got approved to get a mortgage through Wells Fargo.  We have to appreciate the road blocks we have gone through because they were to our advantage.  In December we locked in our loan in at a decent interest rate but now rates have dropped and we were able to lock in at an even  lower one, so it is a good thing that we had a few road blocks to stall some time.  Dayton was not a road block, he just helped us gain a little bit more time in the process.  They broke ground today and in a few days they are going to pour the basement.  I am so excited I could jump up and down.  It just didn't seem like this was ever going to happen, like it was too good to be true and now it is.  It is very much our reality now!  WOO HOO!!

This is our new 1 acre plot of property.  It is directly behind Lance and Mandy's house.  A special thanks to them for selling us this beautiful ground.  I don't know if they know what they are getting themselves into...us as their life long neighbors...but we couldn't be more thrilled to have them as our awesome family members and great neighbors, We are lucky enough to get two for the great price of one.

This is the place where our house will be going.  The front door will face where I am standing to take the picture...south.

This is one of our many beautiful views.

The ground breaking!

The floor plan of our new home.  There will be stairs to the basement in between the kitchen and the living room.  We are so excited!!
