We Bought a Zoo!

**Correction - We Bought a HOUSE. But, once our children are in there it will quickly feel like a zoo.**
It is located in Post Falls, built in 2003 and in the Riverside Harbor neighborhood. It is just a few minutes walk from a private park/playground, picnic area, and beach on the river.
Here is a picture of us at the same beach last year
This is our house. Its a single story "rancher" (bugalow in the Canadian). It has 3 bedrooms, a den, and two living areas.
There is a little bit of a covered front porch
View of the front entrance with formal dining room beside (eventually we will remove the carpet in the dining room and replace it with a hard surface)
This is a view from the dining room looking at the living room
View from the front entrance looking at the living room and toward the kitchen. We love the vaulted ceilings
 Here is the kitchen
Another view of the kitchen showing the eat-in area
Here is the eat-in area where we will set up our massive kitchen table
 View of the kitchen from the eat-in area. The white door is a pantry
Here is the family room


View from inside the family room
Here is the hallway leading to the bedrooms
The main bathroom
There is a small den. We will add a door to make this room more useable
Bedroom
Another bedroom
Here is the master bedroom
Master ensuite

Master closet
Off the kitchen there is a door leading to the laundry area, back entrance (to the garage) and a half bath

 Half bath is the door to the right and the garage door is on the left 
 We have a nice big backyard with mature trees. The house sits on a third of an acre
There is a little bit of a patio and a small portion (between the door to the master bedroom and the kitchen) is covered
We are really excited to get into a house with more room. We take possession on the 27th and plan on moving everything in on the 28th.
That's all for now. Take care

Happy Birthday Mr. Nixon!

This is how Lyza is going to look some day when she gets to wear glasses like her cool parents
 This big guy turned 1 last week

 He has grown so much
We had a fun day celebrating his birthday
 He was excited to wear his Air Jordans
Kim took the kids outside for a walk without the stroller
  He couldn't wait to start eating cake



 I love this face

Yummy
 Kim caught me "helping" Nixon


 Happy to be 1
 He had some fun with new toys


I went to Helena Montana this week and got sworn in to the Montana State Bar
Everyone had a great time while I was gone

 Hide-n-go seek at the doctor's office 
Here is a video of Lyza singing Kim to sleep

And big tickles for Nixon

That's all for now. Take care
