A New Home

As of May 29, 2010 we have moved into our new house that we are buying. Hooray. We are about 20 minutes away from where we used to live in Helendale. We now officially live in Victorville. I really like our new house. It is a one story, 4 bedrooms. It has 2300 square feet. The really cool part is that it was a model home, so it has nice upgrades. But, what's even better is that the house came with all the furniture. Really nice stuff, like out of a Bombay company or Pier 1 Import store.

We are settling in. Almost done with the kitchens, bath and master bedroom. Important thing is we all have a place to sleep. Which i might add that we took a great nap today. the house is quite peaceful. We only have a few hitches, the master shower only trickles water, and we have ants, yuk!!!! Shane bought bait things and spray for the perimeter of the house.

good thing is the boys are adjusting even amongst the chaotic mess. so tired, I will post some pics of the new place soon.

Trains, Trains and more Trains!

Connor going walking crazy. He is so independent now that he is walking, he won't allow you to hold his hand.

Connor petting a bulldog named Lulu. He was fascinated by her. She had medical issues and couldn't walk so she rode in the wagon.
The old-fashioned fire engine. Beautiful!


The guys who owns this car must love trains even more than Aedyn, if that's possible.

A bus turned into a train complete with whistle and bell.

Aedn could sit there and watch the trains for hours.

Aedyn engineering one of the displays that not only had a train but, a helicopter, and a car. Really great hands on for kids!

As you may well know Aedyn loves, no, is obsessed, with trains! He lives and breathes trains. So to further fuel the fire we decided to attend a train festival called Railroad Days in downtown Brea,Ca. They had tons of model train displays all the way from Z to O to standard size. Completely awesome. I think Connor has caught the bug too, he loved looking at the choo choos.There was a little kid size train to ride on, and old-fashioned fire engine with a dalmation doggie to boot. Oh, and we rode a trolley bus around the corner to see and get on a real diesel engine! We bought some cute train material to turn into a blanket and maybe pillows or a valance for Aedyn's room. We are redoing it in, what else, TRAINS! It was quite a beautiful and entertaining day, ending with some good music and ice cream.
