House Hunting...

The house hunting has been going on since we moved back in December but now that Jason has a job we have really picked up the pace. It has been frustrating and exciting. Here are a few of the highlights...

Here is my favorite house...
View from family room
Amazing kitchen!
Back patio, needs some stain but the covered deck is nice
The spectacular family room, the windows overlook Castlewood Canyon
Lots of brick! (something a mason's granddaughter can really appreciate!)
The only drawback to this house is it backs up to power lines... :(
We love this floorplan but Jason did not like the quality of construction on this particular house. We found the same model in Parker and wrote an offer but it was too late because it was already under contract. The search continues!
Here is Jason's favorite house...


My favorite feature of this home is the incredible laundry room...
Built in shelving
laundry room continued, complete with a window and a sink!
The upstairs bathroom, two sinks for two boys!
The upstairs...
The master bath
The family room (the only part of the house I'm not crazy about)
The gourmet kitchen, with a double oven, gas burning stove and granite countertops
The mainfloor study
Here are the boys reactions to the homes...
Colby running around like a wild man...
Being a goofball...
Cool dude, Chase
Chase checking out the handsome house hunting dude
Colby and Sandi (she helped with the boys while we were looking)
We wrote an offer on Jason's favorite house. We probably won't hear anything until next week. House hunting is such an emotional roller coaster ride! I'll keep you posted!

WOW, this house is GORGEOUS! I hope they take your offer. How awesome it'll be to finally settle somewhere for a while!
