House update

We went out and check on the house on Sunday. The rock layers were out there working on the fireplace and the fountain in the entry. They are done with the outside rock and it turned out really nice. The last picture is the ledge stone that is going to be our fountain with a little "pond" at the bottom. They are going to start insulating this week and hopefully be sheet rocking next week. The rain is supposed to stop by the 4th! Thank goodness!

Grand's Bowling Party

Last night we celebrated Clint's Dads birthday and went bowling. It was a lot of fun! I never knew we had some bowling pros in the family! We need to start our own league!

Our Scooter Gang

Laynie and Blake decided to spend their allowance and each buy a scooter. Blake got his a few days ago, and Laynie went last night and got hers. They are pretty fun, but a little too fast for kids (i think). Laynie's is bigger and seems easier to control. They both had fun riding them for the first time last night! Blake has his "scooter gang" look on his face!

Luke & Izzy

My nephew Luke has the most kissable cheeks ever! He's so cute and cuddly!

Check out Izzy and her fancy house cleaning heels! HOW CUTE!

I would say it's rustic

I have decided that our house is going to be a bit rustic. From the all cedar ceiling in the living room to the brick/wood beam stairs... it really is starting to get that cozy, rustic feel. The wood beams that are the stairs (not the second set, they will be carpet) are from an old barn. They are really heavy and solid! We are going to stain them darker and there will be an iron railing as well. It's all turning out really beautiful! The rock is coming along nicely. They are almost done with the front. Then it's on to the fireplace inside and the fountain that we are building in the entry. We are hoping to start sheet rocking it in about 2 weeks!

Hair Everywhere!

Blake got a new summer haircut a few weeks ago. Last night we thought, since it was so short now, that we could just cut it ourselves. So, we started shaving... and before you knew it... Blake had a hairy back! We didn't realize how much hair we had cut off! Not to worry, it looks just as good as a $10 haircut!

Sweet Maggie

On Tuesday night, Clint and I got to babysit little Maggie for a bit. I still can't get over what a good baby she is! She was ALL smiles the entire time. She laughed and "talked" to us, and she loved to jump! Her little legs were going a mile a minute! I can't wait to babysit her again!
