I heart our house (and St Patrick's Day)

After a very busy week, our house is almost completely unpacked! I love our house so much. Here are (quite) a few more pictures. But first, we bought a baby swing for Reagan this weekend. She loved it, and eating grass!
 Yummy!
 Lance's parents, grandma, and sister came over for dinner today. It was so nice having their help while we moved- we couldn't have done it without them! Reagan loved spending time with them, and they loved her festive attire and cheery attitude!
 How many teeth do you have, Reagan? 
"One!" That's right, Reagan's first tooth finally poked through.

And now, on to the house! First, Reagan's room (my favorite):
 Guest bedroom:
 My sewing room:
 Reagan/guest bath:
 Upstairs laundry area (if we ever get our washer and dryer):
 Our bedroom:
 Our bath/closet:
 Living room (missing our coffee table):
 Kitchen! (missing our chairs, which haven't been delivered yet):
 Main floor bath:
 Basement family room (not quite unpacked):
 Basement bath:
 Huge storage closet in basement. One of my favorite things about this house is all the space- we don't even come close to filling it up!
Can I just say how happy we are to have a home? Today was our first Sunday in our new ward, and we absolutely loved it. Everyone was soo nice! I think we will fit in really well. And we love Layton. There are so many restaurants and stores so close- within 5 minutes. Reagan loves having a yard and a big house to explore. We are finally settled and finally home.

Our home

Today was the (first) big day! We closed on Thursday, and today we took a load of our stuff up to our new house in Layton! I LOVE our house. It is perfect for our family. And best of all, it cuts Lance's commute in half! Lance's parents watched Reagan while Chase and Marissa helped us unload. We also had a bunch of our new furniture delivered, and I took lots of pictures! The house is mostly empty, except the boxes everywhere, but you can get a good feel of it. 

Living room, with our new couches!
 Other side of living room- with the double-sided fireplace!
 Kitchen! Loves those granite countertops.
 Another kitchen view
 Kitchen/pantry
 Back deck! With garden and swingset.
 Backyard, with two little apple trees at the end.
 Reagan's new room! LOVE the wood floors- and it has tons of shelves!
 Other two bedrooms. They are both fairly small, but big enough :)
 Guest/Reagan's bathroom.
 Laundry area (closet on the left) and lots of furniture boxes.
 View down into living room. P.S. There are ceilings fans in every single room. Is that normal? Lance says it is, but I have never seen/noticed that.
 Master bedroom! We put together most of our bedroom set. And when I say we, I mean Lance.
 Other side of master.
 Master bath.
 Love the double vanity!
 Walk-in closet.
 Basement family room! The sellers left behind the sectional and the dvd projector! And we got a lovesac :)
 Bathroom in basement.
 Storage room in basement! So excited to have a place to put our food storage.

Favorite other things about the house: super big garage, tons of perennial plants including strawberries and raspberries, vaulted ceilings, and pretty much everything. I can't wait to finish moving in next weekend! I didn't even want to come back to the condo. It's going to be a long week.

On the way home, we passed a pickup truck with goats in the back. Huh.
