Happy Halloween!

This year we had Hermonie from the movie, Harry Potter...


Snow White...



Batman...




And a lion!


They had fun trick or treating in our new neighborhood and got tons of candy!  Benton ended up taking Lincoln and Scout home a bit earlier than us girls.  They are so sad Halloween is over, they look forward to it so much each year!

Moving is rough!

We put our house up for sale early in the Summer.  It was a hard decision but it didn't come lightly.  We had our house on the market for almost 3 months before it sold.  It was kinda crazy because we decided if it didn't sell in those 3 months then we would stay put.  We both had mixed decisions if we should stay or go but ultimately moving back to Davis County benefited our family in many ways.  Benton would commute about 45 minutes total a day instead of 2+ hours daily.  We would be much closer to all of our family members and we could do a 15 year mortgage instead of a 30 year.  All in all we hope we made the right decision.

Here's the house from the previous owners.  It's a hard house to take a pic of because there are so many trees but it's one thing that drew us in!


In the middle of October we moved.  I had forgotten how much work it is to move.  Especially with a family of 5.  We were all tuckered out for a couple weeks.

My kids call our new house, "the tree house" since their is a nice sized playroom above the garage with a cubby that has a tree painted on it.  They were excited to move to their new home and each have their own room (not in a basement).


Addie found a perfect spot for her to hang out at!


And Lincoln loves riding his bike in the driveway!

Also we decided we moved to this house at the WRONG time of the year.  Right when all the leaves fall off all the trees...we got lots of leaves to clean up!

I will post more fun before and afters of this house!  We are putting our own decorating touches to it!
