House we are planning to purchase

Backyard with pool AND grass - somewhat unusual to have both in PHX! This house is actually in Chandler though, in the next neighborhood over from ours (Ray & Priest for anyone familiar with the area). Same schools, same church, same everything but zip code and therefore price!

Coverd porch (and paver patio for future hottub!)

Family Room

Front of house - need to nix one of the two trees near the house so you can actually see some of it!

Top of the stairs












Laundry Room - upstairs!

Downstairs bath

Entry way from garage to house near downstairs bath, and coat closet

2 car garage with built in storage cabinets - maybe I'll even get to park in it....

Walk-in closet 2 (Lars can throw his clothes on the floor all he wants in there!)

Sarah's honors

Lest you think Erik is the only brainiac in our household - check out Sarah's honors! Not only did she make honor roll, she got a math AND science award - THOSE genes she definitely got from Lars. Glad to find out the thousands of dollars we've spent on tutoring is working! Way to go Sarah!

PS, who says video games rot childrens' brains... :)

Erik's 8th grade graduation

Erik is in the red and white stripped shirt (sorry, cell phone pictures are not as good as a real camera). Afterwards, we went for Dairy Queen.
