Snow Day!!

Here are some snapshots of the kiddos playing outside in the snow. It was BRRR cold!!

My Bedroom!!

We are still putting the finishing touches on the living room, dinning room, and kitchen - my cabinets are coming Tuesday - I am so excited about getting my kitchen put together. We have been in our house a week now - I have been washing our dishes in the bathtub - fun days!!

Upstairs

Johnathon's Room!!

668 Main Street

Well, we finally finalized our paperwork for our house in Bland - we are now in the remodel stage. We have finished Lacie's room, almost done with Johnathon's, scaped 6 layers of wallpaper off the living room walls - the previous lady LOVED wallpaper - we have had to scape every room - one more to go. We have been working on refinishing the wood floors this week - we have 2 more coats of top coat to go - plans are to be done with floors Saturday and next weeks plans are to gut the kitchen and put tile floors and new cabinets in - it is going to take a while to get everything done - but I will try to show you our progress as we go. The pictures are: Lacie's room before, middle, and finished, the living room with all the wallpaper and before we cut the wall out - we cut it out to open the stair case up, and then putting a clear coat on the floors.

Chicken Farmers!!

The kids grandma has chickens so the other day we put up an electric mesh fence so that the chieckens could be out in the yard - the fence is designed to help keep preditors out - here are a few photos of my chicken farmers.

House in Bland!!

We have sold our house in Knoxville!! We are now in the procress of purchasing this house in Bland. It is 3 bedroom and 1 bath - it needs some updating as the house was built in 1945, but it has a lot of character and has been well taken care of. It has a 1 car detached garage and also a nice block building in the back. We are hoping to have it by the end of Aug and hopefully middle of September be moving in. Do we have any volunteers to help with the renovating - it is mainly redoing the entire kitchen and sanding and refinishing the hard wood floors. Please continue to pray for us.

Quilting!!

I have started my very first quilt - I will keep you updated as to how well it is going. I am trying to make a crib size quilt for one of my dearest friends. The pictures are me cutting out my squares and then the sqaures laid out into rows. It is going to be purple, blue, yellow, and pink gingam. I also have a new Janome Memory Craft 350E machine, so I hope to share some of my work with you!!

Baseball Game!!

The other night we took the kids to the Princeton Rays baseball game - it is a farm team for Tampa Bay. It was a nice hot night and the Rays won. We received free t-shirts as a promotion - free stuff is always fun.
