We moved!

We have moved!  We are now living in Selah way out in the country.  I realized how far out we lived when our new ward even had a hard time finding our house to help us move in.  We live closer to Naches than to downtown Selah and are even in the Naches school district but we live in Selah.  The move went really well but I don't want to do it again tomorrow!  Below are a few pictures of what we have been up to with the move.  We did a lot of painting before we moved in.  The house was really dirty beforehand--you will notice in the before pictures.  The guest room is still filled with unpacked boxes.  I just closed the door and am pretending they aren't there ;)  When I get the entire house finished I will take more pictures of all the rooms.  Daryl's been busy cleaning up the property.  I think it was more fun for him since he got to use some tractors in the process.  We are hoping to put some grass in soon!

Here she is!  There is a pasture in front and in the back there is a chicken coop and three small pins.

This is the view from my kitchen window.  I love it!  Can't wait for the spring green to come.

View of our backyard--it goes for miles.

Below is the entryway mudroom.  I mixed some leftover paint with white so the walls could look cleaner.

Working hard or having fun?  I think he's having fun.

Picking up all the random junk that has been left on the property over the years.

There was even a broken hut tub on our yard--this truck was completely packed tight before he took it to the landfill.

Helping Grandma tape that box up tight before we moved!  My mom and Debbie were so helpful!

Evelyn napping in the living room after her bed was packed ;)

Daryl and Evelyn filling up the old chevy truck with gas before we left town.

We used a paint sprayer for the great room ceiling and walls.  What a energy saver!  Daryl's Mom watched the girls for two days so we could clean, paint, fix stuff, make out, get the carpets cleaned...did I just say make out!?  It was fun spending time together working hard to get the house ready for the girls.  Daryl's Dad and Shayne came up one day and helped replace light fixtures.  Shayne got shocked--poor guy!  

This rainbow was shining in our side yard the first day we moved in :)
