Pictures of the new house

Okay, after MUCH inquiring from you, my family and friends, I am posting some pictures of our new house here in Florida. Please DO NOT enlarge your photos as there is no telling what you will see, I really need to clean, LOL! And keep in mind that I just took the pics, didn't try to make the house look perfect because then it never would have gotten done.....and we are friends, no? Anywa, here are the pics, hopefully you will get to see it in person soon!

This is the entry way that you see when you come in the front door, the double doors on the right go to Emily's room.

This is the dining room, to the left when you come in the front. You can see we need a new table with enough chairs to seat us all! It's on my yard sale list :)

This is the living room, but we are using it as the playroom for the kids.

This is the doorway to Emily's room.

Emily's Room

Emily's walk in closet

Emily's bathroom, there is a door on the left that goes to Chris' closet and another door on the left that goes into our bedroom....this was meant to be part of the master suite - her room a study, but works better for us this way :)

This is the master bedroom

master bedroom (see my $100 yard sale bed!)

Master bath BIG bathtub!

Angie's closet - in master bath

Master bedroom, you can see the kitchen out the door

The kitchen, it is on the left when you come in the front door.

The kitchen on the left and the family room in front....you can see the doorway to the master on the right.

The family room....our new sectional, it has 4 recliners! Lulu loves it!

The kitchen, you can see into the dining room.

The laundry room is on the other side of the kitchen and goes through to the garage.

The door on the left goes to CJ's room, the middle door is a little linen closet, the next door goes to Alaina and Jenna's room and then there is another door that you can't see that goes to their bathroom.

Jenna and Alaina's room

The backyard....if you look close you can see an orange on the orange tree in the corner of the yard!

Swingset that was here.....needs some new swings, but in pretty good shape for FREE!

The rest of the back yard.

And that's it. Nothing fancy, but about 1000 sq ft more than we had before. The neighborhood is nice, we are on a cul-de-sac so the kids can ride bikes and powerwheels. And did I mention there is a What-A-Burger 2 blocks away? Chris thinks we may retire here :)

Halloween pictures

We went as a zoo this year for halloween.....not much different from every other day actually! Chris was a turtle, Emily was a flamingo, CJ was a bengal tiger, Jenna was a giraffe, Alaina was an elephant and I was, of course, the zoo keeper. The last picture is a picture of us at the camp ground that we "lived" at for our last week in NC....we cooked out hotdogs and then made smores. The kids loved it and keep asking when we are going back to the camper.

Catch up!

For those of you who have been wondering what the Klug kids look like these days...here you go!Alaina LOVES her baby dolls!

We took the kids a couple of weeks ago to Mike's Farm - one last time....of course it rained!

Aren't they cute?

Alaina on the tractor tire, she loves to climb!

All the Klug kids......coming to a town near YOU!

CJ's t-ball team had their awards ceremony today even though the season is not over yet. CJ was SO excited to get his very first trophey. He said it was even better than getting a Piston cup!

Total chaos, just like on the field :)

It even has his name on it!

These pics are from the air show this weekend. The kids got to climb in and play on some of the helicopters and planes and they loved it. Jenna had dress up day at school that day and wore a ballet outfit and then didn't want to take it off.

maybe CJ will be a pilot someday....

Look what we picked up!

You can see that Jenna's ballet outfit didn't look too pretty by the time we left.

but she had a good time!

Alaina LOVES bath time! Especially now that she does not have to sit in a bath seat.

CJ and Jenna are taking swim lessons at the YMCA this month - every Tuesday and Thursday morning. They are both doing very well!

This is the power wheels Barbie Jeep that I got at a yard sale for $15 -I put a new battery in it and it was ready to go. It is in like new condition and the kids love it! Jenna will drive it for about 2 seconds and then tell CJ to drive (she is a little intimidated by it). CJ hauls hiney in it and drives like a maniac!

Alaina loves playing with her box of toys

She takes things out one by one until the box is empty.

These pics are from the mother's day brunch that CJ and Jenna's preschool had for all the moms. We ate together and they gave me all my gifts they had made. They were so proud of them and I love them!

Strawberry pickin!

We went strawberry picking on Sunday afternoon and the kids loved it! I thought they would complain about being hot and tired but they really didn't. We picked 60 pounds of strawberries (for $60) and they have given their all at eating every one of them! We are going to spend the next couple of days making jam and icecream and we will freeze some of them for smoothies! Yum,yum,yum!
