Onej week closer

Okay I am going to try again this week to get some pics of the house. I guess the last ones just don't want to be seen. We are close. We just have to get our counter top on, our appliances in, and our bathrooms finished up. We are hoping to move in next week. It has been a long journey and one that I am anxious to be done with. We are so lucky to have such great parents who let us take over their house. The girls have loved living with grandma and grandpa. They won't know what to do without them. Other than the house.... the girls are growing up too fast. Bailee is already asking when she can get a cell phone and an i-pod. She is an excellent reader and ver smart. Her teacher is always telling us what a great student she is. Ella is a monster, and I mean that in a loving way. She is a challenge every day of my life. She loves to do the exact opposite of what you want her to do. If there is anything that can be spilled, knocked over, or dumped out she will find it. She is kind of a bully. She usually has bailee in tears at least once a day. She gives great hugs. She is also obsessed with monkeys. She calls them "ah ah's". She thinks about them all day long every day. Curious George is her favorite show. We all have monkeys on our screen savers for her too. My girls are great and I love them. Joe just got back from Mesquite and St. George on a much needed motorbiking trip with his friends. He has been working very hard on our house this winter. And it was very obvious this week when he left because not much got done!! I am glad to have him home :)

I stole this picture from another blog. I thought it was funny. I can think a person in my family that matches every picture. I hope everybody has a great V-day. I guess it is another great day to eat too much chocolate. Like we need a few more days for this. The house is coming right along. Cabinents are in. This really makes the house look real. They are suppose to start putting carpet in monday and tuesday. All we have left if the master bathroom to be tiled (Trent that means you) and the fireplace to be rocked. We are getting so close. I think we (my parents and us) are both looking forward to some alone time. My parents have really been great letting us take over their house. We love them and are so greateful to have them!!

Pictures of my house finally!!!!

Okay here are the long awaited pictures. It has only taken me about ten years to get them done. So here they are...enjoy! Okay well the blogging gods must not want you to see my pics. When I try to upload them it comes up with an error message. I guess I will try again later!!

"STRESS"

The word stress about sums up my month. I have been a huge slacker when it comes to blogging. I have been a little better on facebook. So here is a quick update on the month. The house is painted, carpet ordered, cabinets being made, and wood floor ready to be installed by joe tomorrow!! Things have really come together with the house. It is so fun to see it start to be real. My paint colors turned out great (with some help from Dannette Downey who is so great!). That is a big relief. So in the next few weeks we should be very close to getting to move in. Work is still very slow, I keep hoping one day that is going to change. The girls are doing good, they are anxious to move into their new rooms. Ella has an everlasting cold that turned into an ear infection yesterday. (I guess tubes are not always the answer) But other than that we are doing good and I just wanted you all to know we still exist. I promise I will get some house pictures in the next 2 days and post them. Hope everybody has a good week.
