My first blog post in our new home!

Tonight as I sit here and type I don't even know where to begin...I have so much to journal about...I have not posted in over 2 months...So I guess I will start my first post with an update....which will probably turn into longer posts at some point.

a picture of our house if you have not seen it yet

~We are all doing great!
~We have settled into the new house very well...and with lots of much appreciated help.
~We have touched every single room in this house with some sort of paintbrush or new flooring...except 1 bathroom...seriously I know you are probably thinking we are crazy well you are right we are... but we LOVE the house and have learned many new tricks...more on that later...
~We are back in the swing of things with work and commuting. All is good right now. It takes me about an hour in the morning and Eric about 45 minutes at night. I have told myself this is part of my day and it is not bothering me.
~We listen to a lot of Glee CD's in the car to make the drive easier on the kids. (thanks papa and grandma michelene)
~We laugh a lot and cry a lot of happy tears. It is so wonderful to see the kids free and happy and running around our beautiful home that is all theirs.
~Ashlyn and Colton have been sleeping in their own rooms since we moved here...probably harder on me the first night than them. More on the rooms later.
~Eric and I have been having so much fun cooking, baking and enjoying our new kitchen. We don't have a Viking oven but it still is nice. (We are going to sell our Viking oven soon...maybe that will be our concrete patio in the backyard)
~We had Ashlyn's 3rd birthday here. It was a blast. I finally had a birthday party that I actually planned out the kid activities right. Not too much... and actually took time to do most of it (ok I miss a few things but no one noticed)
~I'm back... cause Colton's Birthday party planning has already begun... Awe throwing Ashlyn's together in only a few weeks and changing the date and moving in 3 weeks before and during a remodel... phew I can't breathe and I am typing...haha


~I finally sent out my moving cards... Which might be why you are visiting our blog...If that is so, please check back often. I am usually a regular poster! I love comments! I love sharing our crazy life with our family and friends!


Ok well it is 1:30am and I need to work tomorrow morning... Easter Party at LMP! Woo Hoo! Ashlyn helped me stuff all the plastic eggs for the hunt tomorrow...over 150... yep...before bed tonight she said, "mama, I'm so excited for the easter hunt tomorrow. Can I have all the marshmallows?" I told her that she can find a few but that I'm sure the Easter Bunny will come back on Sunday and hide some for you. She says back, "But can you tell him I want marshmallows inside please?!" Too cute...she makes me laugh every single day!


Night every one!


Stay tuned I have a ton of pictures to upload... The kids new spring pics from Jeff Firestone (he takes the pictures for LMP); some older pictures from Krista Lund that I can't wait to share (they are super sentimental; new pictures from Jana Beck of the 4 wittmer grandchildren and so many of the house remodel before and afters....


xoxo, Tiffany
