Looking like a House!

Our house is our baby right now, so bare with me through all these pictures and updates :) It will be fun to look back and remember the crazy ups and downs of building our first home! As of now, things seem to be moving along pretty quick with one big thing happening after another! But as we have learned in the past, we know there can be weeks with no progress at all. We are crossing our fingers that the frustration is behind us, and our house will be done before we know it!

Within just a few days it seems like, they have completely framed it, put up the sheathing (the white stuff around the outside), put in windows, and installed our tub in the guest bathroom! Looks like roofing will be next!

 Here is Collin standing in the Master Bedroom

 And here he is contemplating the water in our tub already. He's convinced it's a bathroom for the workers... needless to say, I will be scrubbing the heck out of it once we move in! Gross!

View from the front entrance. All that wood makes it look like a maze right now!

 Dylan keeps me updated on progress when Collin and I can't make it out there for a few days! :) - Okay, maybe it's Justin and Brennon.. but Dylan has already claimed a room in the new house!

And here is our house! Windows and all :) It's so exciting to see all the progress! Each step will be more and more exciting from this point on. Can't WAIT to move in!!

2nd Place!


How cute are these girls?! I am coaching Cameron's 3rd grade volleyball team this season and could not have been more proud of them this weekend! After having a pretty rough season last year, they came out on fire for their first pre-season tournament claiming 2nd place! I have high hopes for this season. We played a pretty good team in the championship, and I am anxiously waiting to play them again! Our girls played back to back to back to back before the championship and were a little exhausted. With a little rest, I have no doubt we can beat that team!

 Cameron played so well! And she sure looked cute! :)

Also, we finally have a foundation poured! This home building experience has not been what I expected so far, but I am certain we will love the end result! We've been told that the house will be complete mid to end November. We are counting down the days!



And a SPECIAL Happy Birthday to this cute 3 year old!! He is the happiest little boy and always goofing off in effort to make someone smile! I love his little personality!
 We love you, Cole!!
