Mothers Day Gifts




I made these for all my mothers for mothers day and I was very happy with the way they turned out.

Sleeping Booty


I came out from putting the other kids down from a nap yesterday and this is what I found. I couldn't help not posting it.

Here is an update on the house. They put all of the roof trusts on today. The framing will be done on Tuesday, but it has to sit for two days before the inspection. Everything is on schedule for me to plumb it next weekend. The bottom picture is of our second story. I stood in Riley's closet and took a picture the best I could. To the left is our master closet, then behind that is our master bedroom. The furthest point of the picture is our master bath. Just to the left of the stairs is the loft then the doorway just past the stairs is our 4th bedroom. The 4th bedroom is going to be the kids play room. Look next week for the newest pictures. I will be going back on Wednesday.

School Project


Kaleb had to do a big project for the end of the year and he chose to do it on the great white shark. This diorama was the only part of his big project that he had to do at home we had a lot of fun doing it and I think he did a great job.

Thats some wood!




The top picture was taken at 7 a.m. this morning. I was excited to see the progress of the home so I ran out first thing this morning on the way to my first job. Just before I left the guy building the home said come back later and it will look much different. I went back and took the bottom picture at 5 p.m. today. They were able to complete the whole second floor within that time frame. Tomorrow they should be done with the roof and by the end of next week it will be ready for me to plumb. Below are some other pictures that I took today.



This is a side picture which kind of shows you the size of our back yard.



This is a picture from the front door entry. On the right is the den, straight ahead is the dining area (if we use it for that). Just past the stairs is the family room and to the left of the family room is the kitchen.



Corner picture of the home. Just another view.

San Tan Splash Park !




My sister in law Ami invited me and the girls to go to the splash park today and it was so much fun. Its funny to just sit there and see how kids think its so funny to just stand over the water you cant help but laugh and remember the part on billy Madison were he sits on the sprinkler. Anyway thanks for inviting us we had a blast.

Layin the Lumber!








The construction on our home has begun! They dropped lumber on Monday the 5th and they should have all the parts assembled by Friday. They assemble all the major parts off site them bring them into the site on a huge truck. The truck is equipped with a crane that lifts them into place while the workers attach them to the frame work. We are very excited for our home to be built! It should be fully complete by the last week of July or the first week of August. I will be able to do all the plumbing work in our home so that I can make sure that it is up to snuff! I will upload pictures again tomorrow.
