Outside our New Home at 1413 E.
Summerlyn Drive, Derby KS 67037. Our new home phone is 316-941-5564. I still have a hard time believing that this has actually happened and that we get to all live together again! I am most thankful for this blessing.
I don't have a wide angle lens so these pics will have to do...or you could always come visit and see it
up close ;0). Here is the living room. If you were to walk in the front door to the left is a hallway with the boys bedrooms and bath. To the right is the basement stairs. OH how we love having a basement again!!
The dining room is right off the main living room. This is a view of the nice hardwood floors.
Still need to do a lot of decorating, but we'll get to that. I always have a hard time deciding what I like...and the money tree in the backyard has not sprouted yet. :0)
This is our new dining room table. It is pub style and seats SIX! Yippee! The one thing I really wanted when we got our house was a new table! We also love the view! Our house backs up to a tree line and an empty field. Not sure what crop it is...hoping it is corn ;0)
View off the back covered deck. We plan on getting lots of use out of it since it faces south and is covered. Plus it is really private, not just because there is no one in the back of us, but also because you can't see either neighbor's back porch either. To the right of this picture is a black cover which is Blake's new grill. Who would have EVER thought he'd switch to gas. He got tired of me complaining that it took to long to heat the grill up. This is a new
infa-red gas grill that he can also smoke things on and has an
rotisserie option for the future. Blake loves his new grill.
Here is the view of the kitchen from the dining room. The white door leads to our laundry room, which leads to the garage. The big silver thing on the right side of the pic is the
refrigerator and just next to it is.......see below...
A WALK-IN PANTRY! I didn't realize how much I'd love this until we got our things unpacked. This is just the view from the open doors...you actually can walk in it and turn to the right for more space! I actually can see everything I have at one time!
Not a great pic of the master. It really is nice and was the perfect layout for the furniture that we already had. Again a lot of privacy.
Master bath with separate sinks!
Can't really see much of Cooper's room, but it has a beautiful arch window (what you see from the front of the house). Cooper also got a nice TV that daddy hung on the wall for him. All the
Wii stuff is in his room now...YEAH!
This is Carson and Camden's bedroom. Camden actually sleeps on the bottom, but he likes to take his nap (as seen in this pic) on the top bunk.
Pic of the boys bathroom.
Well that's it! Thanks again to everyone! We appreciate the love and support that helped us get to this point. We hope that 2010 is the best year for us yet...and wish the same to you.
We had a Wonderful Christmas this year. The kids got a lot of nice gifts. Here they are opening some of them on Christmas Eve.
Carson got the Nintendo DS he has been wanting.
Cooper got a TV to put on his bedroom wall.
Camden got this cool Tonka truck that he can push and ride on. It also makes fun noises. It will be good to scoop up dirt in the backyard once it warms up and we get grass.
Santa brought skateboards. The boys were totally surprised since I had told them they could not have them until they were 35 yrs old! When I asked Cooper why Santa would bring them he pointed to the helmets and pads. They have enjoyed riding on them in our unfinished basement. I'm not sure how fast we'll finish this basement. It is kind of nice that they can scatter their toys and run into things and not do any damage!!
Here are the boys in their new soft jammies on Christmas Eve night.
