Goodbye townhome!

 Hudson loves helmets and hats. He found daddy's hat and wanted a picture.
 This is her "silly face".
 Got a steal on our new fridge. It had some small scratches on the handles so we got it for $800 off of the list price!
 So much space! This is about double the size of our fridge in the townhome.
 We were cleaning out closets getting things in boxes. Hudson found the froggy potty for potty training and decided to make it a cowboy hat. Love that kid!
 As usual, Claire can not be outdone by her brother. Cowgirl Claire!
 After lots of stress and tears, we got the keys to our house!! We got them on a Thursday night so Mel called and was like, "Let's move your kitchen tonight!" She came over, we got it all packed up and moved everything over. It was so cool to have a place for everything!
 Now I even have a couple of empty cabinets! We got everything put away that night and took stuff back and forth all day on Friday. We were exhausted! James did a ton of work so that our move wouldn't be hard on Saturday.
 Empty truck all ready to be filled! We got lots of help from my brothers, nephews, old neighbors from Pilgrims Landing, and lots of people from our new ward came to help at the other end. We were packed and unloaded within 2 hours. That must be a record! Especially for a couple that have been married for 12 years with 4 kids. It also helps that half of our furniture was broken was sold before we left our old house.
Claire got our guest queen bed since the last real bed she had was a crib. She slept on a crib mattress on the floor in the townhome, so she was so excited to be in her own room with her own big bed. Doesn't she look tiny?!
 At the end of moving day I went and got a new welcome mat from Target (not sure where I found the energy) and stuck it on the front porch. We are finally in our home and starting our next chapter!
 First bath in the new house. Claire's new nickname is Spike! ;)
 I ordered these barstools online but they were too high. Only Claire's legs would fit underneath! Ha!
 James got right to work in using the kitchen. He made homemade barbeque pizza and a yummy dessert pizza.
 Delicious!!!
 James participated in a run with a group called Push to the Finish which you push someone with physical disabilities. James got lucky enough to push Elsha who is a 30 year old woman with muscular dystrophy. She is amazing! They already have more races planned this summer.
Less than two weeks after we moved in, I was booked to go to Europe to see my parents with my sisters! So exciting! I had to get some last minute snuggles in with my cute baby boy.
