Water babies 7/20/08

We have been slacking lately. Life has been so crazy with the insanity of building our new house. Josh is out of town this weekend so I am playing catchup finally. I should be in bed but I am enjoying the quiet house now that both monsters are sleeping! Kaylee is finally enjoying water which you will also later see in some photos with the sprinkler. Kolt has no fear and falls face first in the pool and scares mom to death, but he just giggles.

House

They have been busy working on our house and it is looking so cool these days we are very happy with everything so far.

House update 7/12/08

We went to the house this weekend and we were so excited. They had finished the painting and well lets just say I was very nervous about the colors I picked out from a small paint sample but I was relieved and happy with how it turned out. They had the cabinets setting in the kitchen and that also made me feel better I first thought it would be way to small when I saw it but after the cabinets were there and I could picture it I like it much more. I am a visual person so it is had for me to know what I like or how it will turn out untill it is done so building this house has been a challenge and stressful so I am glad we are almost done. They say we should be able to move in by late September. A little later than we wanted but at least it will be finished. They have the foundation poured and the basement walls will go up this week. We went to look at the land in Seward today and it looks so differnt know that stuff is going up. The purple room is Kaylee's and the cool blue room is Kolton's room. Kaylee now says she likes her room she used to want to have Kolton's room but now she thinks she will take the purple one. They colres turned out better than I thought they would especially for the kids rooms.

House update July 6, 08

They are finished drywalling and have the ceilings textured already. I can't wait for the cabinets to come in and get installed so I can see more of how it will look. We are getting very excited. They are starting on the foundation and basement on Monday, yeah!!! We sent today painitng some of the house we have now getting it ready to put up for sale. I am sure Josh loved spending his b-day painting but he was a trooper and ya have to do it when you have the help, thanks G-ma and G-pa Starner!!!

Happy 4th of July

Another fun filled 4th of July at Aunt Courtney and Uncle Brice's house. Next year we will get to party at our new house in Seward!!!! BOth kids loved the fireworks, even daddy's really loud one! Kolton got so excited and kept saying boom booms.

More House photos

These are not the most recent of the house but we forgot the camera when we went to see it this weekend. They were drywalling as we showed up on saturday they have the bathrooms done and most of the bedroom but they have the kitchen and living area left. They said they hope to have it all drywalled and mudded by this week but we will see the plumbing crew held them up so we will chech again next weekend. They have moved it outside for now b/c it is shingled for the most part and siding is done. They gave us a key so we can go see it on our time now. Hoping they get moving on site work as far as we know they have not strted digging the foundation. Hope everyone had a great week.

New House

For those of you who do not know we have choosen Vantage Pointe to build our house. They build the main floor in their factory and then move it to the foundation on site. They are completely done with framing and it is getting drywalled this week. These are a few of the photos we took last week when we went to see it. The kids loved running from one end to the other. The big object behind us in the one photo is our corner fireplace. We will post new photos when we go out again. The building permit issues have been resolved and once it finally dries out a little then can start digging and get the foundation started.

Weekend at Big Mack

We all had a great weekend at the lake. Mom is the only one now paying for a weekend in the sun but doing better. Just the shoulders and legs are red. Josh and the kids are just more tan than when we started. Kaylee and Grandpa are the only ones that caught any fish with one each so not a productive weekend. Hope everyone had a great Memorial Weekend.

Dessert at the Loos house

Most of the cupcake made it in the mouth!!!

Kaylee loves Pupcakes, not sure why or how she started calling them that but she does.

March for Babies 4/27/2008

We had a great day for the walk this year. Started off a little cool but wasn't too bad. Kaylee enjoyed seeing all her friends again and so did mommy. We have gotten attached to a lot of these families and preemies. Kolton enjoyed just being outside. He hate to come in from playing. He got to move to the toddler room and they go out twice a day so he is in heaven. The kidos got haircuts today and Kolton looks so big now.
