Our Hatchery House

So, this is where we live now. It's a 3 bedroom rambler style house with a two car garage. We're loving the space. It's probably double the size of where we used to live. Anyway, since we live on the hatchery now, Kyle stays pretty busy (even when he's "off," but we expected that, so...... At least we have a ton of room and the boys have all kinds of space to run and play. Next year I'll have a huge garden too.

Ignore all the vehicles.....I didn't want to move them. Oh, and no, we do NOT have another dog. We were babysitting.....that's Jake and Hannah's dog, Kobe, behind Sugar.

The side yard. I love the swing in the tree. Kyle also fixed the inground sprinkler system (he's pretty darn handy) and so we've gotten the grass pretty green. It was dead when we moved in. Should've taken before and after pictures so somebody would be impressed.:)

This is the side going around to the back. So, I have a weeping willow tree. I'm pretty excited about that. Don't know why, I just love those trees.

This is the back of the house. We have an enclosed back porch (which is now a play room). We're going to replace all of the red, lava rock with river rock.

We've also put in a fire pit. It's not all the way done and I don't have pictures of that. The backyard is huge. We put in a sandbox for the boys and will surround that with river rock too after we put in a swing set of some sort. Kyle's going to till up the huge garden area with the tractor so I can plant my monstrous garden. Turns out we have a pear tree and two apple trees too. I'm here at my Mom's and she's going to teach me to can my pears that I picked (due to the fact that I resisted developing any domestic talents until I became a Mom and realized that maybe it WAS a good idea after all......). We'll probably have the apple trees removed. They seem pretty sickly and it turns out that the county will pay you to take them out due to bug problems. Anyway, we're not all the way moved in because Kyle's going to build quite a bit of shelving in our garage and dining room, but we're getting there. Love the space though!! And so do the kids, of course!! Kyle loves living in the middle of nowhere.....and having access to all of the hatchery equipment to "work on things" to his heart's content.....and being able to hunt just down the road.....and I'm pretty sure he finds it slightly funny that we can't connect to the internet yet, even though it's annoying. Anyway, but all is well.:)
