Wrestling...Eric is in Heaven!

Last week Blake Pinned his opponent!

We were excited since it is his first middle school match.

This week he won by points.

This is not a fun position to be in.
Chloe found a horsey.

The cheer squad!

Need to update!

Here is the front of the house,

we finally got the cedar shakes

up on the Peak.

Um, I have a "Rain Garden" This duck seems

to see it as a pond.
Chloe likes it when Grandpa shares
his Raisin Bran.

For the first time in my life....

My vehicle can have a sleep over in the Garage :) Happy!

We put trim up on all the windows...

The bay window now has a wood seat,

the plywood was not the look I wanted here.

Here is the new side deck.

We finished the wood on the stairs.

January Progress...

Chloe's grandma could not pass up this dress

Could you?

She came to church with us and everyone

oooh and ahhhed as she walked in herself.

Her new words are horsey, no way, toys

She LOVES to talk, She is totally realated to Chelsey.

She holds her play phone to her ear and Blabbers a ton.

Here is our side deck getting the railing up.
Cedar Shingles on the back.

Eric is ready to be done with all the house fun!

More Jan pictures to come, we worked WAY more than this!

It's been a busy month...

Eric installed our cabinets.

Chloe helped :)

Blake was a HUGE help!

It is really looking Good!

I love the new lights

The kitchen is almost done, we just have
to finish installing and painting trim.

The banisher just needs stain

Here is a view of the kitchen from

1/2 way into the livingroom.

I love this seat. It needs a cushion but it is

a nice place for people to visit.

I am excited about the kitchen.

I love the apron sink.

New Microwave

I love the bookshelf, and the granite

countertops.

Will it ever end?

Well... We painted for Thanksgiving.

We had to cut out the old floor due to water damage.It was soooo Fun!

Ceiling fan installed

I took the old brick off the fireplace... That was a CHORE!

So many things happening....

We have been so busy working on the

House I have not updated yet...

We started on the Trex for the front porch

and the railings.

We got insulation in the additon and garage.


We took the wall down between the additon
and the old house. That was a long awaited exciting day!

Here is the wall GONE!The Drywall was delivered


Installed and the Mudders are mudding
We got the downstairs ready for texture!
We took out the old kitchen
Had some wiring issues to deal with.
Here we are ready for texture!

Early November updates:

The Electrical Inspector came and wanted us to

wire the addition a little differently than

Eric had planned. So Eric got dressed up

in his Rain gear on a very rainy Friday morning.

And they dug a ditch from the Garage to

the house so they could put pipe in

and shoot the electrial wire to power the

additon. He LOVED it! :(

They dug up my expensive and well planned out

gravel driveway.

Here is how the addition attaches to

to the house.

Things are started moving along this week!
