It's wild out here!

Before we moved into the house, my dear neighbor Laura warned us that there were coyotes, among other animals around here. I must say I was really excited. Well, we moved in and really didn't see anything out of the ordinary i. e. pheasants, hawks, lizards etc. Last week we were woken up by what sounded like barking, but it wasn't a regular dog barking.. it was coyotes! we didn't see them, but the next few nights the same thing happened, until finally today, we got to see one! Those things are sooo cute!!! and I had to take pictures

All moved in.

Well, we did it, we finally moved into our house. We've been living here for about 3 weeks now and I love it! I still have a ton of boxes to unpack, my only problem now is too much room and not enough furniture. Oh well, I've been looking at the ksl.com website looking for good deals on stuff but, it seems like a lot of the people trying to sell their stuff want full retail price for things! and about our house not being fully furnished well, all in time right? we're here to stay for a long time!

I don't have any pictures to post yet but I will with time.

New Family Member

Introducing Todd, our new dog. He's such a funny little Rattie! (rat terrier), we love him. although the last few weeks have been hard with all the training, so we are going to  take him to petsmart, they have a dog training school, we'll need all the help we can get..

Brylee calls him "Toddie" ;)

per request... ;)

 A lot of family/friends have been asking why we are not posting any more pictures on fb. Well I realized that there's just too much access on facebook and I only want the people that we know and love to know where our house is and how it's coming along..
 I've taken hundreds of pictures everytime we go out there. ( I swear our new neighbors must think we sleep there) but we don't!! we just like seeing it come together! this has been a great experience for all of us, And YES, we are very eager to move in!
So, here are a few pictures of the house. it should be ready in 2 wks! (happy dance!!)

I need to find a better picture because the whole exterior is all done!

Christensen house 7/28/11

This is what our house looked like today. The framing is no longer there, is has now been covered by drywall, and it looked like the stucco equipment was just waiting for the green light to get started.

The house

We really have to get used to not call our house "the lot" because it's not a lot anymore, there is a house there and it is coming up fast!.
As usual, i didnt do posts for the following weeks, and i would have to figure out what week we're on. So far house is up, framing, then trusses. Roof is up and insulation, check. Next week will be dry wall, i have picked my kitchen cabinets, doors, etc. I will post some pics now and more tonight. I am super excited. Our neighboors are awesome! And i register the kids at their new school next Tuesday.

weeks 4 and 5.

woo hoo! there's a lot of progress, in fact Hyrum and I had to decide on windows, shingles, and stucco color and style. to be honest I was a little nervous because it all had to be done in a rush but I think we decided well and everything is looking like it's running smoothly. Yay! Framing of the house will begin sometime next week and after the framing is done, everything should go super fast, I hope.

week 3

Not much has changed since last week, its been so wet that they still can't pour the concrete, so we have to be patient and hope that mother nature helps out this coming next week. On a side note, we visited the lot last week and let the kids run around and play, when we heard a loud thud, It was Katie who had tripped on a string and landed on  the hole and was soaked with muddy water. sorry, no picture of that as she was really mad and wouldn't let us take one..   :-D. we love you K.!
