Chippendale Stair Railing

I'm super excited about this Chippendale stair railing going in today! It's all coming together!! 

All cleaned up and ready for brick

White stucco

The white stucco went up today! 

Game room

I love the natural light in the game room.  We wanted a big room for the kids, this room is going to be used A LOT! 

Sheet rock, glass doors, and concrete floors are in!

Looks like a house!

The house has come a long way! We are leaving for 3 weeks to go to Utah and it's going to drive me crazy to not be here to see the progress!  I can't wait to see what gets done while we are gone!

Windows are in!

Going fast

Digging in the sand

We went to look at the house today and came out to find Coen and London playing in the sand.  The second level is now framed and the kids were so excited to find their rooms! 

Framing of second level

I just drove by (Chad calls me the Stalker) and they are already framing the second story! This is exciting!! 

Framing

The beginning of Framing! 

It's coming along! 

New House!

I thought it would be fun to document the construction of our new house! The kids and I love driving by every day to check and see what is new.  

Foundation poured and set! 

Football

Dresden's Football season is officially over! After starting out the season with an awesome win we all thought this year would be the year of the Vikings! Not so much as they did not win the rest of the season, oh well! Dresden really did learn a lot this year and as running back he ran in most of the teams touchdowns. He was awarded offensive or defensive player of the game nearly every game and was the only kid on the team to get both awards in one game. He even got his PE coach (coach Brooks) to come support the team. Proud of him and proud of his positive attitude!

On the move!

This little girls is on the move! She is not content to stay in one spot anymore, which means we better watch out! Yikes! She has also started to get a little Diva attitude. She really lets us know it when she does not like something, double yikes!!

Happy Halloween 2012

We had a random bunch of costumes this year!!
Dresden=Batman
Coen=Mario
Ciena=Black cat
London=Butterfly
Remember when I got to choose their costumes and they were always matching and coordinated with each other! Not so much any more! That's ok, the kids had fun and each of their costumes fit their personality and what they are in to right now. Ciena had a hard time with ANY costume this year. She is going through a major shy phase and does not like attention on herself. London was perfect, as always!! I drug her around with me all day, first the twins school for a Halloween Party, next Pumpkin carving at Dresden's school, trick-or-treating at Chad's work, and finally the neighborhood party and Trick-or-treat. Phew, I'm exhausted!!

Baptism

Today was a special day for Dresden as he chose to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We had lots of friends and family come to support Dre, it was a great day! Aunt Jill and Grandpa Larry gave the best talks and I'm sure it will be a day Dresden will remember. Proud of you buddy!
