James and I are officially home owners!!! We signed our loan docs on July 21st and on July 23rd we were able to pick up our keys to our very first home! On Wednesday night James and his friend Brent went to our storage and in less then 4 hours moved everything into our garage. On Thursday James and his brother were able to get almost all of the boxes and furniture in their appropriate room and start to get some things organized. I spent all night Thursday, Friday and Saturday getting everything unpacked. We only have a few boxes in the garage left but its all storage so all we need to do is put them on shelves and we are finished!! It is the greatest feeling in the world to finally have a place to call home.
The funny part is James and I were talking the other night and we were laughing at how excited we were to have our home but also to own our own refrigerator, washer and dryer, be allowed to own a pet without asking permission, or paint the walls if we want to. We no longer have to wait on the owner to get someone out to fix something if there is a problem within the house. We finally are allowed to be the decision makers!!! It is just so exciting!!!And for those who are in town we moved to Mountains Edge Area off of Blue Diamond and Buffalo.
Anyway, Brock loves his new home and absolutely loves his room. He was so excited to have all of his toys back and his own bathroom and couch. LOL He was running around like a kid in a candy store re familiarizing himself with everything. Alyvia finally has her own room and is sleeping wonderfully in her crib! She is able to lay on the ground and play with her toys now that we have carpet in our living room, whereas at our last house it was just tile.
Alyvia also hit a big milestone in her young little life. She finally rolled over on her own!!! I thought it would never happen and on Thursday night 7/24/08 while she was playing on the ground while I was putting her crib together, she started talking loudly and as I looked over she was on her side concentrating really hard and what do you know, she rolled over onto her belly and looked up at me with this huge smile on her face like "Look mom, look what I just did" It was so neat and brought back those memories of when Brock was her age and did those things. She is just growing up on me to fast. She is now 5 months and 1 week and the time keeps passing by so suddenly.
Brock is still the best big brother ever. He just absolutely adores his sister and is always trying to talk to her and get her to play with him. He still loves school and his teacher said he is very smart and a great listener. He is so eager to learn everything!
We are hoping to get the backyard done soon so we get back to having our barbecues and Brock can play outside more.
Thank you Nana for the T.V. and hutch it looks so beautiful in the home, can't wait for you to come over and see it!
Hope everyone is doing great, hopefully sometime soon all the Vegas clan can get together, seems like forever since we have had a big family get to togethe
