Here's the virtual tour of our newly purchased home. Although we have been living in our home for 3 months, had the offer on it for 6 months, we finally sealed the deal on March 27th! Brown exterior. End of the quiet street. Lots of rock, but no cactus ;)
Master Bathroom. Magnificient tub, shower, dual sinks. I am going to slap a coat of yellow paint in here and viola, it will be perfect.
Master Bedroom. Just off the bathroom. Really really large. Door to the backyard patio, nice big windows. Plenty of ceiling room for kids to jump on the bed (although Josh has been banned from jumping on the bed every since he broke our last box spring doing just that)
Living room area. The wall is pretty much how I want it, minus the piano that is supposed to go where the couch is and then the couches will move and we will get end tables.....as it is, I like it. This is on the west end of the great room that makes up the living room, dining room, and kitchen, all open.
View of the living room through the arch and the front entry way. Looks like a long walk, but really it is only a few steps. Nice tile and, yes, I did paint the entryway from it's brown arch to lovely yellow and white!
View of kitchen dining room from living room. The kitchen is on the est end and had the sink view into the backyard. We already painted it the lovely terra cotta color (not pink, it is orange) and put the knobs on the cupboards. It is lovely. So many cupboards I have some bare, plenty or counter space for cooking up all kinds of a storm.
My organization wall- always a work in progress.
Pantry, lovely pantry, best part of the kitchen.
Guest bedroom (larger than it may appear in the picture).
Bathroom. Long and slender. Serves its purpose though.
Laundry room with freezer. Gotta take down those cupboards for more upward room.
Kids' room. Lots of room. Lots of beds. Lot of closet.
Wahoo- there is the virtual tour. I purposefully left out the backyard, those will come later with the before and after pictures. Without the after pictures it just looks like a redneck paradise.
We feel super blessed to be in our home and are ready to share it with whomever may come.

This a part of the view of the Superstition mountains as we climbed and scrambled up a wash toward the tops. It was lovely spring time in the desert mountains. The saguaro cactus haven't bloomed yet, but all the underbrush is green and wildflowers are popping out. 
Josh and I did an 'adult hike' leaving behind our kids with a sitter so that we could attempt climbing to the top of Flat Iron. Noticing that there were a lot of people on the rock scrambling trail we opted to take a detour to the right and go out on another look out cliff. Sure, it was not the highest peak in the Superstitions, but we had nothing to prove. Just some time to be alone in nature and enjoy each other. What a wonderful date (not to mention cheap).
I served the noodles to Danny a little on the warm side for dinner. He didn't complain at all though. He just figured out a way to fix it: When he picked up a handful of noodles (heaven forbid we use utensils for anything more than poking your sister), if it were too hot, just move it to the cooling table. The miraculous thing was that he actually remembered the order in which he put them out on the table and would go back systematically and check which pile was ready to eat, and then devour it. What a smart boy! Hey, when you want to eat bad enough, you make it work.
The perfect little helpers that second day. I love my darling kids.
