Something New

I know, I know it is really time for a NEW post!

So, I thought I'd start off with a picture of our NEW HOUSE:
After getting the run around from our landlord on how long we could continue to rent before he "let the house go"...we decided we had better start looking. So, we found this great foreclosure and made an offer and ended up getting the house. We moved in the end of June; thanks to alot of help from my sister Kim and Jared's parents!!

This SHOULD be our LAST move for ALONG time (or at least for 5 years until the Vegas housing market settles down some). Luckily, we were able to find a house with a third car garage (tandem 3rd car) to store all of our stuff from our Utah basement (since the homes in Vegas don't have basements). Here is a picture of Jared getting it organized after our move.And to go along with the NEW house......a NEW LEATHER COUCH AND CHAIR!!!
This is so BIG; it is actually deserving of its own post......something like "One of these pictures is not like the other....." followed by pictures of our family rooms with the old couches in every place we have lived during the last ELEVEN years of marriage expect our new house in Vegas. But, you know me and posting....so here they are. We finally got rid of the brown, bumpy hand-me-down couches we got from Grandpa and Grandma Cisney when we were first married. After seven moves and eleven years it was almost sad to see them go. Here's to another 11 years with some NEW brown couches!!

Here is a NEW photo of the boys in their matching outfits for the 4th of July!

Followed by an even HOTTER one.....the boys watching the Summerlin Fourth of July Parade. It was pretty toasty at 9am; but the boys did better than we thought. Isaac especially liked the "fire engines" and "motorcycles"!
Drew is really enjoying his NEW DIET courtesy of Grandma Truman and Grandpa Frost!!

For those of you shocked right now, please note that it is at least CAFFEINE FREE Coke that we feed Drew! (j/k the can is EMPTY; I promise)!!

And of course, LOTS of NEW family photos from our FUN TRIP to Utah.

Finally, I just wanted to note that Drew has become the NEWEST mover and shaker of the family. He started crawling the day we returned home from Utah. And now he is all over the place and LOVES to pull himself up. I won't bore you with the long videos of his first shakey crawls; but thought I would added to all the NEW items.
