Taking DC by storm on Memorial Day

The cox family is in town! We love Todd, emily, Jonas, Carmen, and Asher and had a blast walking all over DC today. My first time being at the 'memorials' on Memorial Day and it was not nearly as ridiculous and crowded as I thought.

strawberry picking at schlagel farms

We had a great time with our first time picking strawberries with the Wheeler's a couple of weeks back. I'm so excited for nice weather!

Wow. Four out of four NOT looking :) impressive

Harrison the photographer

Taking pictures is SO FUN!!!

Our house

Just thought I'd post some pictures of how it is now. Sure there is a lot I'd like to change and do, but, we're happy with it!

 Living room. Carter amused with raisins and harrison with the ipad. The book of mormon our bishop gave us to leave in a prominent place. Yeah. We follow directions.

 Bookshelf.

 Hi princess!

 Corner. I need to do something about the colors in this room. Match the rug, match the curtains, random purple? Not sure yet.

 Kitchen.

 A place to put my service for 24 I got for FREE!!! And the tadpoles we're watching for Harrison's friend Vilem.

 WALK IN PANTRY!!! (also coat closet)

 Dining Room.  Kid placemats, yay.

 Showing our chalkboard wall. Harrison was super impressed he could write the word "ROIDWW" on the wall

 Front of the house.  I've been trying really hard to grow things in the planter boxes. Struggling.  Hanging flowers are doing well though.

 Another view of the front.

 Side. The way our house is oriented is perpendicular to the street so the sides are the bigger areas to play. It's weird. But nice because the front yard is not "on" the street.

 Back

 From the deck.

 Other side.

 Carter's room. That frame needs a picture. and the walls need so much more. In every room I'm realizing. We'll get there eventually.

 Harrison's room with his unmade bed :)

 The stairs from upstairs. Someone is following me.

 Mommy and Daddy's room. Naked Walls. I had no idea.

 Pretty girl with her milk and her FAVORITE blankie.

 Master bath.

 Daddy's home from work!!!!! YAY!!!

 Downstairs playroom/family room. Oh yeah and that's my bro. He's visiting. We had sushi today with the kids at tysons. Awesome.

 "guest room" We need a bed or something in there.  And some sembalnce of decor.  Guests love the play kitchen.

 laundry room. Yeah, we have to use pliers to turn on the washer. Ghetto fabulous.

 And let's end with mommy's gym. Sometimes I workout in jammies and flip flops and might put diet coke in the cup holder. Stop judging. It's my house :)
