Moving on Up this week....

First off, we would like to congratulate Adrian and Brandi on their new little boy, Rhys! He came into the world on the 24th. Paige and I went over to meet him this afternoon while Jay and Hannah had a nap! Jay unfortunately is not feeling very well this weekend and we kept him busy so this was time for him to rest! He will meet Rhys soon enough!

We got a new toy this weekend! Now, our purpose was to use this "toy" for plowing our driveway in the winter and when a sale came on we decided we should get it! Well we tested our toy this weekend and I can definately say I am addicted! I did not realize how much I would enjoy playing! We just might have to get another one in the future. Hannah has not been able to ride the "toy" yet. But I am sure it is not too far off!

Mom, Bruno and I tested it out and had lots of fun Saturday on the ATV! Jay and the girls napped on and off at the trailer while we explored some trails! I was not too sure about traversing this one trail and then Mom convinced me that it would be okay and I did it and then we were off exploring! Bruno took it out too and I think they might be getting one in the near future!

Here is mom and I on the ATV.

Jay and I went out with Todd, Theresa, Diondra, Kirby and Robin (who just bought a new one this week too). Mom was gracious enough to watch Paige and Hannah for longer than we intended to go out and we really appreciate it! I can't wait for drier adventures. This time was pretty wet and muddy. We did not realize how cold it was till we got back to Todd and Theresa's house!
Hannah came up to me the other day and said, "cheese me" which means take a picture of me. Well this was the face she wanted captured!
We went exploring the other day at the property and Hannah decided to check some things out while I cleared some of the bottoms of the trees in front of the house. She is a good little helper these days.

Well we will be moving up to the top floor sometime this week. Which means we are getting closer to the roof which means we are getting closer to all the other trades coming in then us moving in!

Here is our front stairs. No it is not an illusion they are not built yet but they will be where the hole is going up! This is the front entrance and hallway leading to the kitchen at the back. The office and bathroom are to the right on the way to the kitchen.
Here is the great room then the dining room at the back with a garden door at the left.
Here is our kitchen. The pantry is framed in on the right. There is a door leading outside on the left.
Here is our great room and the view we will have to the front of the property.

Paiger, Hannah and I went to visit my Mom one day when Kenzer was having a sleep over and we all went to the park to play. Paiger played on her blanket for a while.

Here is Hannah going down the slide by herself.
Here is Mackenzie's action shot!
This is how Hannah put her hat back on!
We will keep you posted on the happenings at the house. We have been looking at all the things we would like to do to our landscape and will hopefully be preparing the yard for next spring to get it down. With the type of soil we have when it gets wet it is a mud pit! We don't want to be dragging that in our house!
