#5

Jason, JR, and I have lived in 5 houses in 7 years. That's 5 houses. I'm not counting apartments/other people's homes/hotel rooms we've occupied between major moves. I know Jason and I are always doing something "crazy", but 5 houses in 7 years is crazy even for us!
House #1- August 2001-December 2003- Katy, Texas
I have better pictures of this house (and us, ugh!) but this is the only one I had on my computer. Look at little week old JR. If he only knew how we'd drag him all over the world...


House #2-January 2004-January 2006-Beijing, China
Jason picked out this house without me. It was so big that we could never get it warm in the winter. The water was actually frozen in the toilet bowl the first time I went there. During the winter we only lived upstairs except to run down and eat in the kitchen (and then we would wear our coats). But I loved the location of this house, we were the last on the street (so no cars) and only a few steps from the clubhouse.


House #3-February 2006-November 2006 -Beijing, China
We moved just around the corner from our first Beijing house and only lived there a short time, but we loved that house more than any other house we have ever had. It was smaller (and warmer) than our first one and was a perfect floor plan. We have so many fun memories from that house!


House #4- April 2007-December 2008-Houston, Texas
The babies first house! A perfect yard for birthday parties; a terrible yard for hurricanes!


House #5-January 2009-? Durango, Colorado
Well, First time I've lived in a house where the ground is covered in 5 feet of snow!

Loved the new "master" pictures of the boys. Add the 3 houses you lived in with us and that makes #8 for you. MR

Congrats on the new home. It looks so pretty! And, yes, 5 houses in 7 years is pretty darn crazy.

Love the new pics of the boys on the side, too.

And all the wonderful memories that go along with each of them. JR coming home to your first house, Kyle and Reed to you 4th and the two in China inbetween - WOW! What memories Durango bring us - can't really top those.
