Meldrum family reunion July 2011

There are 19 cousins in this photo and I

just love this picture.

We just had a family reunion in

Wallowa Lake, OR. It was so awesome.

I had so much fun meeting and reuniting with

my husbands family.

Update on the house....

Do you garden?

My first attempt at potatoes and

they are doing great! I am so excited to try them.

These are medicinal herbs, I love

how herbs can help your body to heal.

This is the entrance to our old garage. Isn't it cute?

Finally our pond is gone!

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!
