I know the only real difference is the doors and windows, but we did them! They framed in my fireplace and finished the stairs, I guess they did a few more things but they weren't as noticeable. This is where our home sets as of Friday. The roofers were scheduled to be there either Friday or Monday. The siders will be there towards the middle of the weeks or that's what we are hoping for. We are the clean-up crew! Friday morning at 7:00, we as a family beat everyone out and cleaned our lot down to sweeping the inside.

Our home will eventually be a 4 bedroom rancher with a bonus room above the garage. I am most excited for the gas insert, Aaron is going to rock around it. It's going to look so peaceful and nice. I am excited for my island in my kitchen. The boys favorite place you would think would be there rooms except they always share the same room they are excited until it's time to sleep alone then that excitement is GONE. So it would have to be the family room!

2 weeks later!

Our house 2 weeks later!

To our surprise we have had a few hick ups already. The stairs leading to the bonus room is suppose to have a rail, but to our surprise it's now a load bearing wall so we have had to use our imagination to make it work. If it works like we see it in our heads it should be o.k.

Sorry only a front view but this place is so dusty. Yuck Yuck Yuck.

We should be installing our windows Wednesday. Things are moving along FINALLY. With school starting in 2 weeks we are really going to have our hands full.

Trixie

We have had our dog for almost 2 years now. We got her when she was a puppy so she would learn how to treat the boys. She is the best dog. We got her from a breeder in Wa. he sold us a boy and the runt. We loved it so that's all that mattered. We named it beans and called it Beaners all the time. Beaners is a English Springer Spaniel. She truely lives up to her breed she springs over everything even the 6 foot high kennel I got for her, just to be out with the family. She has a record at my parents house. The neighbors called the police on her because she barked so much wanting to be in the house with us. She sets by the back door just waiting for us to come out and play with her.

We took him in to get him neutered and got a call from the vet asking us if we had a boy dog at home and or if we had grabbed the wrong one by accident. No that's the only dog we have. That's when we found out that our little he is really a she. We kept her name the same cause we thought it was cute. We had my little brother Matt and his family keep her until our home is done cause they don't allow dogs where we are staying. We brought here home with us when we came back, not knowing when we will make it back to N. Idaho. Then after finding out there is such a Mexican population here we decided unless we wanted problems we had to change her name. Coming from N. Idaho we had no clue. Boy is this area making us smart.(ha ha)

In short our boy dog is really a girl dog. Her name was Beaners and now is Trixie!

Casen and Cody love to crawl into here kennel with her. We all love our little Trixie!
