what we'e been up to!

Hey everyone! Here's some pics of what we've been working on...The patio is done. I mean we still need to get some furniture in there eventually but for now, it serves as a great place for school and for play. We also painted the shed (we call it the barn now :-) ), I think I mentioned that in an earlier post. But here's some pics of that too!

Blessings!

All kinds of weekend happenings!

Hey everyone! Well we sure were busy this weekend! I hope you all had a great weekend just as we did.

Saturday we had a family bbq and my sisters house! Rain or shine, and it sure did rain, but I think thats part of what made it so much fun. The kids had fun running and playing in the rain (even though they weren't supposed to!) But they were jumping over puddles and the little ones, jumping in them. We all hung out in the garage and had some yummy bbq and playing pool and stuff. It was just a great day of spending time with family, so much fun!

Sunday was church and then we prepped and painted the enclosed patio. It came out so good! I'm glad were getting it done, I've got big plans for that room but I'll get into that another time....It's not completely done we still have to do around the windows and the baseboards will come after its carpeted. Should all happen in the next couple weeks. We had some water damage from all the rain and the patio not being properly sealed when it was built. But were drying it out right now and as soon and thats ready we'll do ahead with the carpet and then the baseboard will be last. Then I can get start getting set up how I want it!

I have pics of our weekend too, click here to see those!

Well I sure hope you all have a wonderful week! By the way, please say a prayer for my sister in law and brother, she lost her job on friday that she had for 5 years. Please pray for open doors and a better opportunity to come their way!

Love and Blessings!

Life sure is busy when your....busy

Hey everyone! Again, yes, I am still alive and well! Very busy though. But no excuse to not get on here and keep everyone updated. Let's see whats been happening. We've been working alot around the house. Trying to get the patio, that did leak horribly during the rains we got. We sealed it off today and are beginning to empty it out. Were going to have carpet put in there, but before that were painting. Yay! Yes that's not sarcasim, I love to paint. We picked the color out today and I hope to get started on that very soon, maybe within the next week! We also picked out the carpet and should have the estimate done this week hopefully too. I'm super excited about that. Eventually our current living room furniture will go out there and a tv too so the kids can play their playstation and stuff out there and not in the living room! It'll be nice to have that extra space.




And yes, our newest addition, Bailey. She's doing great also. A rough couple of nights at first, but the crate training is doing really well and she is too. The kids are having a great time with her although, the "pooper scooper" job is still a fight! (Big surprise though right?)

Joseph is doing great also. Growing like a weed! He'll be 5 months old in about 4 days! I cannot believe that. He's giggling and smiling all the time, blowing raspberries, making all kinds of sounds. He's still my cuddle bug, ( a very nice way of saying that he loves to be held :-) ) He also is eating cereals, pears, bananas, applesauce and carrots. His favorite by far is pears though!

Otherwise were all doing fine. Happy and healthy. I could use prayer though. I'm feeling really lead by the Lord right now and really could use prayer for my heart to be sensitive to His voice. I'll get into it a little more when I know more, but would covet your prayers greatly!

Love and Blessings to you all!
