Pink Toes!


Yesterday I painted Haley's toes for the first time and she loves it! She sat perfectly still while I painted them and couldn't stop looking at them all day. She showed Daddy her toes as soon as he walked in the door from work - before she would even give him a hug!

We have a roof!






Here is a picture of the house we took today. It has a roof and windows! We have walked through it twice now and it is really exciting to see it take shape.







This picture was taken standing at our front door. I think I will try to take one in this same place each time so we can see the progress on the inside too.

New House Pictures!

As a lot of you know we are in the process of building a house. Although I said that I would never do this, it actually has been a lot of fun. Right now, the house should be done in mid-September and we plan to close at the end of September. It has been so much fun watching it go up! Kyle especially loves to check on our new house and asks all the time if it is "builded yet". Kyle's favorite part about checking on the house (and mine too!) is going to Bahama Bucks for shaved ice on the way home. Here are some pictures to show you the progress so far.

July 4




For July 4th this year we decided to brave the crowds and check out one of the many 4th of July celebrations going on near us. We met our friends, the Medinas and the Nelsons, and had a great time! Kyle and Haley enjoyed the bounce houses and making hats. By 8:30pm we had done everything and the kids were getting restless, so we decided to head to Bahama Bucks, get some shaved ice and watch the fireworks from there. The location turned out to be great and the kids all loved the fireworks! Here are a few pictures from our adventures. Jared had to work, so he is not in any of our pictures.

My First Posting!

Well...

I decided that if everyone else is doing it, so should I! I love to take pictures of our kids and we are in the process of building a new house. I keep sending pictures by e-mail and my friend, Eve, said that I need a blog. So, here we are! I hope you enjoy our pictures and I will do my best to keep up with this new project (and maybe get Jared to blog a little). Check back often!
