We have a foundation!

Moving along quite nicely on the homefront. Today, we picked out all the interior stuff minus the kitchen paint color.

Starting from the top right corner - Backsplash in the kitchen, cabinet color, countertop color, and the kitchen floor tile.


Look at our beautiful appliances! So excited!

House Update

Well, most of the plumbing is up. It's amazing how tiny the house looks with no walls. It makes us nervous. We decided to make the kitchen the focal point of the house, so the bedrooms are a little small. That's okay though because we will be using the dining room as a playroom, so bedroom's are just for sleeping.

This is a view of our bedroom and bathroom.

The backyard - oh the backyard. We are so excited because it is going to be so much bigger than the last house. Lots of room for kiddos and Wyatt to run around in. Speaking of Wyatt, he is having a blast up at John's parent's house. Running around and toughening up (at least we hope).

The backyard.


The house will be these colors. This is the former model home for the builder and we just love it. The only issue is that the last couple shipments of stone haven't been this rust colored. Cross your fingers!

She's such a girly girl

Caroline and I got pedicures today. Well, I got the pedi and she just got her toenails painted, but look how cute! Flowers!

And just because she is cute...

Pigtails and a swimsuit - What's not to love?

One of the first pics!

Here's one of the first pics of our future home! Not much to look at yet.

The house!!!

Finally, we are getting started!!! The plumbing is going to be done on Tuesday. I'm so excited, but I have so much to do. We've picked the brick, stone, and wood for the exterior. Now, I just have to pick out the cabinet color, countertops, tile, carpet, and the color of the kitchen.

Such a big girl

Caroline is potty trained! She still wears a pull up at night just in case, but she is doing a fabulous job at school and at home. We are so proud of her!

Happy Fourth of July!

I probably should have posted this yesterday, but I was busy cleaning up throw up. Yes, I had a joyous Fourth being thrown up on all evening. Didn't even get to watch fireworks. John was also at work chasing grass fires all evening. But today, Caroline is fine and we just got back from Laura's!

Enjoying our snow cones before the fireworks!


She loved them!

The terrible two and a halfs...

I've heard of the terrible 2s. 2 and a half seems worse. My friends tell me that 3 and 4 are just as bad. For your viewing pleasure, the newest video over to the right, one of the daily tantrums that occurs around here. They happen at the drop of a hat lately. I've decided to catch a couple for posterity to play at her wedding one day. My favorite part is when she puts her cup down for the grand finale.
