Updates

Wow! Summer is getting so busy. Our house is moving along nicely and the kids were in swimming lessons for the last two weeks so there really was not much time to do anything other than keep up on laundry and dishes. But here is a quick update on how things are going.

Our house has progressed A LOT since I last posted. Framing, insulation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and roofing is all done. Here is a shot of what the back of the house looks like. (not now because stucco is 1/2 done)








This is my favorite part of the house. In the middle of the living room, dining room and kitchen we have a fireplace. It is MASSIVE! The fireplace goes in the center and on the right is a cabinet for paper and kindling and such. On the left is a place to put wood. On the back side, (the kitchen side) there is going to be a built in china hutch and a double oven. This whole thing is going to be covered in stone. It is going to look amazing!






This is what we do with the kids when we need to get things done on the house. They get to watch a movie. It usually only lasts about two hours and then they have had enough.
Insulation

Our sheet rock is all hung and they are currently working on taping it. By the end of the week it will be completely taped and textured! YAY!

We have the base coat done for the stucco. They do the final coat a week from today.

Now for the kids. Well, last sunday we were at grandma and grandpa's house and the kids were watching a movie on grandma and grandpa's bed. McKenna somehow fell off and hurt her wrist. She was complaining about it a lot after it happened and it was swollen so we tried to be really careful with it. On Monday she fell out of her booster seat and re hurt her wrist. Then she fell on it twice on tuesday. On wednesday I decided I should get it looked at because it was still pretty swollen. She could use her hand for most everything but every time she fell or I squeezed it at all she would be upset. Turns out she has a buckle fracture just above her wrist. So on Thursday morning we got a cast put on it. She chose the color green even though I tried very hard to persuade her to chose pink. I must say though, it is the cutest little cast on the cutest little girl I have ever seen! She will have it on for five weeks. Too bad it is during the hottest time of the year. No swimming for Kenna.

McKenna likes to help daddy on the house. Actually she likes to help daddy do anything. Sometimes before he leaves for work in the morning she will tell him that she is going to go to work with daddy and help him. So cute.

The kids both had swimming lessons the last two weeks. Here are some videos.
