House Pics Part 2

Master Shower

Master Bath

My calendar artwork. Would have used it in an office but since we don't have one, this will have to do:)

Master Bedroom

Master with gigantic windows. The window treatments are not our favorite (hideous actually), so we flipped them to the plain side.

Parker's room

The landlord let us paint, so Parker chose red for his accent wall.

Peyton's closet (half of it)

Peyton's pretty "salty tear" colored room:)

I love how her room has shaped up. My mom made these adorable flags over her windows.

New (used) couch from some friends. Looks perfect in here and we are finally getting rid of our white couch. What were we thinking when we bought a white couch?!

Our New Home Part 1

View from back patio off kitchen. The garage/driveway area is underneath. The kids love playing and riding their bikes in this common area.

Between Living and Dining Room Areas

Living Room with gigantic windows. We get a ton of sun since they are South/East facing.

Fireplace/Mantel next to tv. The high ceilings are great!

Front Entrance

Gourmet kitchen. We love that there is a big island and its open to the dining/sitting room area as well as leads to the patio

More kitchen

Great island

Sitting/dining area

Sitting room that connects with dining area

Stairway up leads to bedrooms/bath/laundry room and downstairs leads to a powder bath/storage room and the garage

Lower entrance from garage. The door to the right is a great storage room which we may turn into a playroom.

Bedroom/upstairs photos to follow!

Easter

We had an a wonderful time with my parents over Easter weekend. We had fun exploring our new neighbored, including Tattered Cover (think the Powell's of Denver), our great park, the library, and some yummy restaurants-all within walking distance. We spent a day at Red Rocks and in Evergreen and ate at a great little cafe. One highlight of Easter was my brother Luke flying in from Albuquerque to surprise my parents. It was so good to have him here because we hadn't seen him since September when he moved from Portland. My mom was convinced that he couldn't come because he had to work, so it truly was an amazing surprise! We went to church at Michael and Rachel's church in downtown Denver. Its called Denver Fellowship and its an awesome church-too bad its so far from our house! We all had brunch at Nate's Aunt and Uncle's place where we had been staying until we moved last month. Nate's dad is also here for about two months watching our niece, so it was really fun to have so many family members together for Easter (we missed you Nana, Bains, and Johnny and Joe!).

You sure can't beat the Colorado sun-even if the weather changes every other hour;) We had temps in the 70s the past two days, and last night a cold front blew in and brought snow! Hard to believe that is almost May and that our decision to move to Denver started about a year ago. God has been good and has blessed Nate with an incredible job, the privilege of me getting to stay home with the kids, and a great new home (pics to follow soon). We are so thankful for the family and friends that we have here, and we know without a doubt that this move was the right one for our family. Now if only the rest of our family would join us!!

Celebration

We got the house we wanted, its Nate's birthday, and its beautiful here in Denver! We have reason to celebrate:)
