Spiderman Ice Cream

This is one of the reasons Grammy and Pops are the best...Spiderman ice cream. 
 

Open Open Open

I can't wait for IKEA to open!!!!
 

Our Little Family

I highly recommend the Incredibooth app - lots of fun!
 

Accepted

 
I have always known that I'm not a patient person but waiting to hear the final word on the house has been brutal (I barely survived it). After many hours of agonizing over what to do we decided to accept the builder's counter offer! So I guess that means I get my sparkly new house with all the upgrades I wanted minus the basement. I am really excited. Now for paperwork signing and picking finishes at the design center...

I learned a few interesting tidbits about myself and about building a house during this process:
- I'm one of the only people who wants a bath in the master bathroom...that one really surprised me
- Also while I am a total sucker for dual shower heads I guess that is another thing that other people don't care for
- Most people must like beveled cabinet doors - I prefer ultra modern flat ones
- I'm a freak about my love for overhead lighting - I think they thought I was a crazy person for adding so many recessed lights...let's just say the kids bedrooms and bathrooms will be the only rooms without recessed lights
- You have to pay extra for white ceilings - seriously?
- I just bought a house with no backyard (no love of the great outdoors in this family)
- I am an emotional house buyer and I purchase based on love of the house not logic - oh and I'm REALLY picky
 

Art by Chase

Chase drew this adorable picture for his Grammy so I had it printed on note cards for her birthday. Art note cards would make great mother's day gifts too!  I had mine printed at Snapfish. 
 

Vroom vroom

Chase and I had to check out our friend's hot new sports car. 
 

Our Potential New Home

 
I am not a risk taker and yet I am about to take one of the biggest risks of my life...owning two houses...eek!

Here is the floor plan.



We put in an offer on the last Infinity Balboa home at Stapleton today!!! It is the Carmel model like in my last post and if all goes well it should be done in August. It doesn't have the cabinets I like but we can still pick most of the other finishes. We should hear back on if our offer was accepted by the builder early next week. I am so excited - and yet owning two homes and renting one out is terrifying!



This would be our house - windows are in and everything - WOW! Wish us luck!!!!
 

House Dreams

 
I LOVE this house (Carmel model by Infinity). It is the same floor plan as the HGTV 2011 Green Home. It is modern, open, amazing...maybe someday...have to sell our house first...






 

If I Had More Time...

 
...I would make these...








 

Eggtastic

 
We started with two dozen eggs...



Unfortunately I followed online instructions for making perfect eggs (bring to a boil, let boil 1 minute, take off heat and let set for 15 minutes). The result...undercooked yolks...so much for hard boiled eggs to eat.



Chase was very serious about the process.







We bought the "monster" kit and the dinosaur kit. The monster kit was really fun...dinosaur one not so much.





Of course G made all the cutest eggs...



Nothing like dying Easter eggs while scarfing down Loft House cookies and mini cupcakes. The best part was that I was suppose to be at a night meeting last night but things worked out and I was able to spend a night with my family instead.
