ack!

We have a peeping Tom that looks into our guest bedroom..I literally screamed when I opened up the blinds:

Maya decided his name was "big deer"...very original:

good morning

When ashtyn wakes up I will bring her to my bed while I get ready..maya likes morning snuggles with her sis as u can see...

 Bradley and ash bonding..

And mace that my realtor gave me...there are bears,bobcats,mountain lions,and a million deer over here..I don't think I can outrun a bear pushing a stroller and having to go uphill...safety first...

our new nest

Maya has really taken to being at the "New house"..I have been having appointments at the old one and she just asks to go back to the new one..at least it isn't the other way around..moving went well..the movers came and got all our stuff out and across town in 7 hours..brad was shocked with how much we had and actually asked if I was a hoarder..I have no idea how I stuffed so much into the other house..I have enjoyed meeting our neighbors on the cul de sac and Maya has told me she wants to pet a baby deer..ashtyn is 4 mo old and is so fun..she is grabbing onto everything, is a bit impatient when she gets hungry so I usually give her two bottles a day, loves when Maya talks to her, will prefer me to hold her in the evenings over brad, and is such a snuggle bug...Oh and I call ashtyn "addy" because Maya calls her "atin"..so I pretty much changed her name..sorry brad..we have been watching the Olympics and Maya likes to pretend to figure skate..her dancing nowadays is quite funny too..such an entertaining stage...

 Ash napping in the formal before we officially moved in..

Maya in her room...

 Upper partially covered deck..built in heaters above..brad says this will be his man cave..

 Buddies

So excited to raise these two kids in this home...pros about the house:all the space!!, central vacuum system(surprisingly it is so handy that vacuuming might be my new hobby), a ghetto 1989 intercom system but better than yelling, my master closet,, three level heating system, finally a/c, our backyard, .cons:  having to clean so much more, I have two pink 1989 toilets, there is no supertarget close by...

exciting times

The good news was we closed on our home and are moving in on Saturday:) We enjoyed our weekend shopping for the home...actually I got a bit overwhelmed trying to pick things out and juggle keeping the kids entertained...I am looking forward to raising our kids in these northwest hills and meeting new people..in fact I met our next door neighbor who is the CEO of the lil organization USADA...craziness!!! I actually visibly shuddered when he said where he worked but I really only ever got tested once..poor brad had to be tested after every tournament he ever won..well,the kiddos are almost over their colds...it feels like they have been sick forever...and I hope the weather gets better so we don't have to move in freezing conditions this week..

 Maya with her new buddy she got at afw where we got some furniture...I asked her his name and she said "big elephant"....
