An Evening Soak

This has been the highlight of almost every evening since moving into the house. The boys are loving it; especially when dad hangs out in there with them.

Lest You Think I Was Joking...

Yes, we really do have a urinal in our new house. I apologize in advance to all of you ladies who will use this bathroom at our house in the future and get a funny feeling like you are using the men's room.

House Update - Hardwood Floor

This is the lovely floor in our kitchen/dining/entry area. It's beautiful. I miss Corey like crazy right now, but he does good work! Can't wait til the house is a place we can relax, instead of just being the location of Corey's second full-time job!

2011 Thanksgiving Tree

Last year we made a Thanksgiving tree to remind us of things we are thankful for. It was a great little project for the boys and me, so we did it again this year. Here's the list the boys came up with in no particular order -

• Football



• Jesus



• My brothers



• My preschool



• God



• The house



• Both grandmas and grandpas



• Music



• Mom and dad



• Cousins



• Friends



• Neighborhood



• The secret spot on the deck (Corey has a surprise for the deck at the new house and the boys are dying to know what it is.)

House Update - Getting So Close!

My husband builds a sweet house. I love it. It's been fun to watch it go from Corey's brain to a piece of paper to a completed home. He's pretty awesome. When I asked Lewis if he liked it, he said "yeah, but it has a flat spot on the top where it should be poinky like a mohawk."

Scott, Leo and Ian Dickens helped Corey lay sod in the backyard. After doing the front by himself, I think he was very grateful for the help.

The stone on the fireplace is beautiful!

Woodwork is finished and painting is done.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the woodwork and the paint is perfect too!
