house updates

moving right along....
hardwoods are in, sheetrock done, sanded and primed, the brick is done....... wow it really is looking like a house now!! Things will slow down a bit now, we have ordered our cabinets... well decided on layout and that they will be stained ( that was a agonizing process... glazed or stained), still have to pick the exact stain! Interior doors are waiting to be delivered and trim work is to start this week along with pouring of concrete on the porches and garage!! All lighting choices have been made, tile choices done, plumbing choices done and today i did a few test spots of paint colors Hopefully not to many more choices to make.... things are starting to blurr...... Now if only Paramount drive would get some action in the selling department......

The hardwoods are installed


The start of the brick, mason's are amazing!!


The bricking begins, we weren't sure when it started if it was the brick we picked, but regardless its beautiful in our eyes!

Flying Kites

It had been really windy so when i was at the drugstore waiting on Allergy meds.... I stumbled upon kites, Tyler chose a Frog for himself and a butterfly for Ashley! After naps we went to the school and had our first lesson in kite flying. Lesson #1 don't take two toddlers alone, who have little patiences and never have done this!! Ashley got very frustrated and pouted a good bit, but after alot of reassuring her that a lot of practice would make it go , she got it and it was worth all the frustrations!!
Tyler would get frustrated but wouldn't dropped to the ground and pout like Ash, that only made him focus more.... he did awesome for his first time!!
Thankfully Joan and Pappy came to the rescue and helped, however Daddy was upset at Mom, since she did this without him. Sorry Dad, i just got so excited too i couldn't wait!!!

Its like chasing Butterflies.... but the butterflies are chasing her! :)

Nanny Stewart

Feburary 21 1925- March 13, 2011


Nanny Stewart was reunited with Grandaddy On March 13th, 2011. She had a wonderful 86 years. She was a fighter to the end and then she stopped fighting and decided to go home with Granddaddy. I am sure they are cruising Sam's club and eating Rush's in Heaven now. Granddaddy only had 3 months to recope his energy to get ready for all of the chauffering around that Nanny so dearly missed! I hope you all are having fun in Heaven, Take all the trips you want now! But Don't forget to keep the Angels watching over us all down here on earth! Until we see you again! We love You to the Moon and Back!
