Moving Weekend

We moved into our new house two weeks ago. It seems like we have been here much longer! We had a crew of movers scheduled to come over on Saturday, so we tried to do a little moving by ourselves on Friday. After moving in part of the couch, Nicholas decided the big bushes in the front needed to go! Here is the before picture:
Here is the after! Now you can see the house number!
We rented Bungo boxes to move the stuff from Nicholas' parents house. Such a great investment!
Sam from church was our first house guest! He Iives in the neighborhood and saw us as he was driving by!
The boys had a great time exploring the open space before we filled it with boxes. Their favorite place, however, was the closet under the stairs. It looks like this will be our fun play closet!
Big Bro helped unpack toys and put together baskets.
And all three boys are enjoying the beautiful play scape in our backyard.
My four younger siblings came down to help on Saturday. We had a big sibling Calvary to help us move! Nicholas his parents helped, and we had to youth from church come. What a blessing to have so much help!
We rented a U-Haul truck to move stuff from our storage unit and Nicholas's parents house. And we had our storage container delivered to the house. We have a U-Haul loading crew, a container unloading crew and a kid entertaining crew.
Big Bro had a great time playing with his cousin.
Our moving crew (minus a couple)
Our first dinner party with my siblings---BBQ from Green Mesquite
Sunday morning I made pancakes for our remaining house guests. We tried to move some furniture up the stairs without taking it apart, to no avail. 
Big Bro was a big helper putting furniture together.
Nicholas cleaned some windows...because they were really obstructing our view of the backyard!
The boys enjoyed exploring the house.
And we squeezed in a fun family hike in the 300 acre park across the street from our house. We can't wait to go back!
