A Big Mac Day

We find ourselves getting so anxious and excited to see what is going on with the house that we will drive up on our lunch break real fast to see what is going on that day. Today we drove by and the county inspector was there checking the electric etc.. so that the drywall can go in! Yesterday we drove by on our way to an awesome birthday party, and noticed that the driveway was completly poured. Mike measured the driveway and the longest part was 85 feet. Crazy long but we are so excited for it. On the way home we had to stop at McDonalds and grab some big macs. Tastes good:)

To Tam!

Happy 40th Birthday to my awesome sister in law!!! I hope you have a fabulous day!! Love you!!!

Ward Party

I can't believe we are in December already. It sure seems like the past couple of months are flying by. We had our ward Christmas party tonight-A Night In Bethlehem. It was quite small compared to our party last year. Dallas, Cody and Elijah were all in the nativity. Nothing to exciting besides that. Our house is coming along nicely. I wasn't able to get pictures today but these that I am posting are from Thursday. The siding is all up on 3 sides of the house and electrical is being done on Monday.

Happy Thanksgiving

Went out to Mike's family's home today for Thanksgiving. We drove by our house on the way and was so super excited to see that they had started some of the plumbing and most of the windows were in. Can't wait to see what happens next:) I talked my sweet sister in law, Juliet, into getting some "stuff" for me during the great sales on Black Friday. It's nice to have most of my Christmas shopping done already. I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Fun times....

I made a slideshow of our busy weekend. Cody had a couple friends come over and stay the night on Friday. I think it went ok for our first sleepover. The next morning though Dallas and Cody decided to roast marshmellows on the fireplace-needless to say it didn't go over to well with mommy and daddy and they had a fun time cleaning that up after we took the boys home. Mike and Dallas also went on a chilly motorcycle ride on Saturday up to mom, dad, and Tam's home to watch college football. Needless to say it was a chilly trip. Today after meetings and church we headed out to walk through our house. It is really starting to come together and we can't wait for it to be finished. We already got a call from the school tonight about a 2 hour late start tomorrow because of the weather. Should make for a fun week if the weather continues like this. We are really excited for Thanksgiving the end of the week and for the chance to get a day off work. My wonderful grandpa Bob is also celebrating his 80th birthday today so Happy Birthday Grandpa-we love you!!

We drove by the house tonight and the workers were still there so we decided to sit and watch them working on the roof from across the street in the church parking lot. (Hence the reason the picture is a little fuzzy-but you get the point) We are getting so excited to see what happens next.

House update

I promised my sister in law that I would post some updated pictures of the house upstairs. The darkness was creeping up on us fast so I do apologize that they are a little dark. We went by again tonight and looks like they will be setting trusses tomorrow which is very exciting. Maybe we'll even have a roof by Thanksgiving.





*On a side note Dallas got back from his little vaca with Uncle Aaron, Aunt Juliet and Kingston to the Great Wolf Lodge. He had a blast and I can't wait when we can all go as a family!
