COMING ALONG....

O.k. So I haven't posted for a while with the updates on our house, but with good reason. Things are finally moving along, but not before this happened.....

The first couple of pics are of what I woke up to one morning after pooring rain the night before. My nice builders decided to take the roofing off down to the sheeting because they were going to be swinging the new trusses the next day. Well.....they didn't tarp it and it decided to not just rain but poor. So it got down inside the existing walls and ceiling and bubbled the sheet rock. They have now just created more work for themselves.

Because of that....

We now have all of this done.

Oh ya, after they saw what they had done, they wasted no time!!
The roof is all on tar papered, doors are in, windows are almost all in. The electrical is as far as they can go til the sheet rock and painting is done.

We are ready for siding yeah!!!!

Hopefully by the end of next week I will have more to post. Wish us luck!!!

HIGH SCHOOL TAG :)

I was tagged by my friend Leann. Let's see how much I remember from my High School days!!

1)Did you date someone from your school? Yes! But not seriously. I went on dates and to dances with Joe Poston, Mark Smith, Russel Ellsworth, Chad Nield, Tyson Eckersell..do I need to name everybody? Probaly not!
2)What kind of car did you drive? Well, my first car was a little green Ford Tempo, and my senior year I got a purple Chevy Corsica.
3)What was your most embarrasing moment? I am not sure that I really had one, but if you consider 9th grade part of High School, then I do. I wasn't 16 yet, so we weren't "DATING", but John Fenstermaker was my boyfriend and I had gone to the football game to watch him and they won. After the game he came up and kissed me and we just happened to be standing under the score board so everyone started teasing us about how we had "SCORED" under the score board. (Anyone remember that?)
4)Were you a party animal? I had a alot of friends and spent A LOT of time away from home! I will just leave it at that! :)
5)Were you considered a flirt? Some would say YES!
6)Were you in Band, Orchestra, or Choir? I was in Choir and Women's Choir.
7)Were you a NERD? NO!
8)Were you on any Varsity Teams? I ran track for a couple of years.
9)Did you get suspended or expelled? No, but I did get detention for a week after I got caught forging a note for my brother who had been sluffing.
10)Can you still sing the fight song? Oh yes! I spend a lot of time at half time performances watching Madi dance so I get to hear it a lot.
11)Who were your favorite teachers? Coach Whit was GREAT!! I also really enjoyed Mrs. Peterson.
12)Where did you sit during lunch? Anywhere but the lunchroom! Usually at Papa Kelsey's, Broulim's, Fiesta Ole, Subway.
13)What was your school mascot? Trojan
14)Did you go to Homecoming? A couple of times
15)If you could go back would you? High School was FUN! I would go back to the socail part but didn't love the work part so much!
16)What do you remember most about graduation? All of the fun and parties that went with it!
17)Where did you go for your Senior trip? Lagoon, but it rained on us the whole time.
18)Were you in any clubs? Nope
19)Have you gained weight since High School? Yes....and No. I have had 3 kids. But I do weigh less now than I did when I was in High School. YEA!!
20)Who was your prom date? I went to Comencement with a kid from Madison. I actually don't even remember his name. Apparently he wasn't that important!!! Probably cuz he was from Madison!!!:)
21)Did you go to your 10 year class reunion? Yes, it was fun to see everyone again.
22)Looking back, what advice would you give yourself? Life's short and goes WAY too fast. So don't take things for granted and just enjoy!

I tag Kristen and Stephanie!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

SSSLLLOOOWWWLLLYYY PROGRESSING...

They have slowly been making progress on our house. These first few pictures are of the back.

Sorry about a few of them being blurry. They have all of the back side framed in and sheeted on the outside and all of the inside walls framed in.

The last two pictures are of the front side of the house. This is where we are extending our dining room and family room. They just started putting the floor on yesterday.

I am hoping to go home today and see much more than this.

LITTLE PUMKIN'S CONT......

O.k. I feel a need to post this because I don't want everyone thinking that I am posting pictures of puking kittens. So "THE REST OF THE STORY" is....Oakleigh LOVES the kittens. She LOVES watching them and gets excited when ever they come around her. So we thought it would be cute to get a piture of her with the kitten. BUT.... the little bugger, the kitten, didn't want to sit still long enough for a picture. So the kids thought that they could get it to sit long enough if they gave it some pumkin. The kitten is just EATING the pumkin. I didn't notice this in the picture until it was pointed out. But it did work, the kitten sat there for the picture!!! :)

LITTLE PUMPKIN'S

After church yesterday, we went to my mom and dad's for dinner. The kids have been wanting to carve pumpkins and so I picked some up at the grocery store on Saturday.

And this is what they came up with!! Madi did hers all by her self. Bryan drew an outline on Wyatt's and then he cut it out.

They had a lot of fun. I am glad we did it ouside on the patio cuz they made a huge mess! :)
