Kid's Workshop

Lowes does kid's workshops twice a month.  We found out about this workshop in time to register and attend.  David had a great time using the little hammer to make his tic-tac-toe game.  He already wants to do the next workshop and can't wait for it to happen.  I'm thinking we will probably be spending just about every other Saturday either at Lowes or Home Depot for their kids projects.

David really did do a good job making his game and using the hammer.  He didn't hit himself or Dustin.

David's Perspective

I took David with me to the doctor's office a couple of weeks ago.  He found the camera in my purse and this is how David viewed the visit.

Cozy & Quirky

Two words that describe our new home.  There are some really funny things about the townhouse we have.  There is also a very cozy feel, as there is much less space than in our condo (which we sold - by the way).  I do love that all the closets are HUGE!  That made it really easy when it came to moving in because I was able to have some boxes just put in the closets which allowed for more space to move around and room to move some furniture around.  Don't worry I did nothing but direct the whole situation from my chair and footstool.  We are working on making the space our own, although we don't plan on staying in student housing for the whole three years that we are hear we're not ruling out the possibility just in case we find that we really love it.

Here are some of our quirky & hilarious things about our townhouse:

This is the space under the stairs & David's closet - HUGE!

This room we call the Harry Potter room although it's not under the stairs.  It's just a funny closet that will be organized before the end of the week.  You kind of have to shimmy to get inside.  We will be keeping our good boxes for the next move and have just been throwing them in there as we've unpacked them.

This is our backyard complete with warning sign just outside the fence.

Luckily there haven't been any sightings this winter - yet.

This is our nice little half bath on the first floor that opens right into the kitchen.  I have to be careful not to open the door as I walk by the island because I don't fit with this huge stomach of mine!

Now please keep in mind although, we are mostly settled in - we are not totally settled in.  Not everything is put away and somethings don't have homes yet.  That is why it is still messy - don't judge us!  We are really liking this little townhouse despite it's small size.  We LOVE the closets and that there are lots of them.  We are adjusting to Pocatello and I'm thinking that this is going to be just fine for the next 3 years.  We're still learning our way around town - as a matter of fact today I found the recycle center and the zoo!

Things will be tight as we add Matthew into the mix but I think we will probably stay here the whole time that Dustin is in school.  If you have the need to send us letters or packages through the mail we would love to receive them (hint, hint).

Our new address is:

Dustin & Christy Hinton

Ridge Crest L5

921 S. 8th Ave.

Pocatello, ID 83209

Birthday Cupcakes

These were my birthday cupcakes from Buttercream Cupcakery.  They were delicious and I had a great time sharing them with my family & friends.  I also got a free full sized cupcake because I went in on my birthday.

The flavors you see here are Cherry Chocolate Chip, Vanilla Bean, Candy Cane and Vanilla on Chocolate.

If you live in Fort Collins or close to it or are in Fort Collins often you have got to go to the cupcakery!  The cupcakes are AMAZING!!!
