Just a warning now, this post is LONG!! We moved into our house last Friday (the 21st) and have been busy setting it up and cleaning both houses. A BIG thank you to our friends that helped us out. We couldn't have done it without you. Rilyn was my big helper for the week leading up to the move. 
We did a ton of loads of boxes and cleaned like crazy. Rilyn thinks moving is hard work. 
Rilyn made fast friends with the dog next door.
They like to run laps along the fence together. Rilyn also discovered the Super Soaker! 
Shes pretty good at shooting it and asks to have water fights all of the time. Monday (the 24th) was Rilyn's 3rd Birthday! I can't believe shes 3 already! Its crazy! She woke up bright and early to open her presents. 
She got some fun stuff and some money to go shopping (her favorite). 
We also made a pink birthday cake and had some friends over to eat it
(she waved her arms like she was conducting the song the whole time we sang). 
Tuesday we made a quick trip to the beach (Rilyn's favorite place). 
Thursday we took Daddy to the zoo. 
It was the first time hes been and he had fun. 
Rilyn even took him on the train. 
Rilyn also went on the carousel for the first time.
She is usually really scared of it. And we made friends with a duck.
I named him Bill. Cody and I also started working on our yard. It needed some serious help! I'll put up pictures of that when its finished. Friday we had Rilyn's birthday party with her friends from nursery. 
She had so much fun and got so many great presents! 
She also got a black eye thanks to some evil picnic tables. Poor baby! She had a Tinkerbell cake and wouldn't let me cut Tink at all. I had to cut around her! Silly girl. A HUGE thank you to everyone who came and made it a special day! The best part is that our fun still isn't done. On Sunday we are going to see Thomas the Train in Ohio and Rilyn is so excited (thats why she got a Thomas shirt for her birthday)!!

Our new house is great. We're loving having more space and the extra bedroom is going to be great for when the baby comes! So far our favorite things are having 2 bathrooms, having a dishwasher, and having a garage. Those are all firsts for us! You may notice that all of the bedrooms have different color carpet. I'm working on the landlord about that but so far we're stuck with the colors.
We have:The Front Room Before 
And After (I didn't get a picture of it but we replaced the lovely metal blinds with some custom made ones that look much much better - thank you Mom and Dad)
The Dining Room Before
And After (should prob call it the dining room/play room)
The Kitchen Before 
And After (Same thing just clean) 
The Master Bedroom Before (check out the awesome border and curtains - totally early 90's style hunter green and pink paisley)
And After 
The Master Bathroom Before And After
And After (no big towel bar, no pink paint, new towel ring and shelf by sink)
Rilyn's Bedroom Before 
And After (its hard to tell but the wall behind her bed we did a soft pink glaze and tried to make it look like it had 3 trim squares on it) 
Casen's Bedroom Before 
And After 
And The Bathroom Before
