House after move in

Though it isnt totally decorated and finished, here are somewhat final pictures of the house. I love it soooooo much!

This is for you Jeni

Mom told me that you wanted to see picts of the kids so here you go! Dont say I never do anything for you! J/K! I love you and miss you guys, you need to move here!

Bootsy

She is not your average 8 month old, at least not to me. Everybody thinks she is older than she is because of her hair, definatly not normal for an 8 month old to have that mop! She still cannot roll from her back to her stomach, I dont know if she cant or just wont because she is just content to lay there. She can however go from her tummy into sitting position and crawl/scoot backwards. She is getting her 2 vampire fangs which we refer to as her snaggle teeth which makes a total of 4 teeth. She has started clapping her hands and waving bye bye. It was really cute last night we put Chloe to bed at 6:45 ( I know, it was LOVELY) and then I told Bella she was going ni night and to give daddy kisses. So she kissed him and then waved good-bye! Oh and her nick name is Bootsy, thus the title of this post. We love her to pieces!

Fluffy

Im still alive and doing quite well! I will have picts of the new place once I can get it all cleaned up and no boxes- that may be a while. But I have to tell a funny story about Chloe. We were swimming last week and I needed to go inside and clean so I said it was time to get out of the pool. We closed the gate and I gave her a popsicle which she loves and usually will just play on the patio until she is finished. Well I noticed it had been about 15 minutes so I looked outside and she was on the side yard in the dirt but I thought oh I will just not bother her if she is having fun. Then about 2 minutes I heard her knock on the back door so I went to let her in and she said, " Mom, fluffy needs some water." Who needs water, we dont have a cat, so I told her to show me where fluffy was, expecting there to be a stray cat or something. She took me over to the side yard where we have some bird baths ( yes there is more than one) and showed me a bird bath that had a statue of a bird on it. Fluffy was the statue. So we went and got some water and poured it in the bird bath. She loves fluffy and has to feed her water everytime we go swimming now! Kids are so fun!

house progress

New tile in the kitchen, this is before the grout. Much better than the linolium.
Our new granite countertop in the island. Yes that the oven in the family room, good spot for it!
The new sink and countertop, before the faucet was installed
painting, painting, and more painting ( that door really doesnt go there)
Tile in the master before the grout ( nice shot Brady!)


The house is really coming together. Chris is amazing, he is very handy and can do just about anything. He will be able to build us a house next! And I love our new granite and sink in the kitchen, I dont know if I am at liberty to tell who/ where we got it from but you know who you are, Thank you so much! It looks fabulous! We are moving shortly and I will post pictures of the final product! Thanks to all who have helped us out with everything!

Bunko

For a year now a bunch of us friends ( 12 usually) have been getting together once a month to play bunko. I had not been for 6 months because of Bella but I went again last Saturday. There are never the exact same people that come but its always a blast! Oh and Brooke should have been in the picture too but she volunteered to take the picture! Thanks girls for all of the fun times! PS- it was pajama night this time thats why we look so comfy!

New Digs

Love the curtains and dining table light! The house was built well after the 80's but I guess the owner was just stuck with an 80's decorating mentality!
Yes the pool ball walpaper border is already down. Its a family room not a game room!

I love Chloe's face here!
We have already been swimming a few times, Im kinda getting fond of the grecian lady statue!

Yes we finally got a "new" house! Its closer to Chris's office, its "inland" and bigger than what we have now. WE have some fixing up to do as you can see from the picts, but we are excited to pick the decor and get moved in! Here are a few of the before picts!
