House

Just more pictures. Again, when we stopped by the house this past weekend workers were there. While I am very happy that they are working hard, even on a weekend, I was again a little disapointed not to be able to go inside. I really enjoy watching the process of building and watching the house evolve from a hole in the ground with cement and wood into a home. Oh well. They had all the siding done with the exception of just a bit in front and the trim work. It looked like the walls had been taped and mudded and I think they hung the doors inside as well. I'm sure more was done inside, but it is hard to know since we couldn't see it. Here is a picture of one of the side, as well as the front.




Also this weekend we, Jessi and AJ, Monica and Jon, and Marucs, Livvy and I, were able to go to the wedding reception of one of the girls Jessi and I went to High School with in Florida. We were able to catch up with lots of old friends there, it was like a giant reunion. Here is a picture of the three of us with the bride, Whitney. I didn't get any other pictures, opps!


Also earlier this week we took a couple pictures of Livvy being silly. Here she is with some toilet paper around her head.

House Update

We stopped by the house last night on our way to Orem and it looked like it had been a busy week. We got our windows installed, the insulation finished and drywall installed, and they were putting on the siding. Workers were still there, so we weren't allowed to go inside, so we only have outside pictures.

Ducky and Wheeler Farm

I think I mentioned that when we went to Lagoon Marcus won a giant duck for Livvy. Yes, I know it doesn't make such sense to "throw away" your money on those amusement park games, but if you have kids you might be familiar with doing things that don't make logical sense because it makes them happy. Anyway, here is a picture of Livvy with her duck-duck. She actually snuggles with him (or her, I'm not really sure) while she sleeps, and she enjoys body slamming it while she's not asleep.



This past week we went to Wheeler Farm with our play group. It is, I believe, a working farm, but you can go and pet the animals and feed some and there is lots of room to run around and be silly.




A bunch of the kids before we went in.




Livvy with the ducks.

Trying to pet the sheep, who says "hahaha!" (As opposed to baaa.)




Looking at the chickens.




Carynn, Mckenna, Avery and Livvy sitting in a "tractor."




Livvy and Mckenna doing twirlies on the grass after lunch.




Ahh! I'm so dizzy, I can't stand up.






Here is the house update. They have the plumbing, venting, and electrical done. The roof is also done. They have framed where the bar will be in the kitchen as well as put in the ac and heater. They have also framed in the garage door and hung the exterior doors. They had just started insulating and had installed the hall bath tub/shower and the master bath soaker tub. (I only have pictures of some of it, because I didn't have my camera with me when I went out this past weekend.)




The venting in the ceiling upstairs.




The plumbing in the laundry room.
