Another Month gone by.... Sheesh!

I cannot believe that yet ANOTHER month has flown by... Just yesterday we were wrapping up Han's 12th bday party - and since then so much more has happened!

First of all, the house progress is amazing... Tiring... but it is really coming along. We have to stop having guests out on the weekends though - completely halts all productivity!!! and has something to do with bigger headaches than normal the next day! hahaha...

Anyway - since the last update:

Hannah won a band award (the only one given that night!) and wrapped up 6th grade:



Jeremy and I celebrated out 6 year wedding anniversary:



Holton got the flu - and kept it for an entire week:



Once feeling better - he helped daddy an me put the siding on the house:



Which WORE that poor boy OUT:



Speaking of siding, we got the breezeway done and where the two garage doors used to be - can't wait to paint:





In the middle of all this madness - we celebrated Holt's 3rd birthday - and he got his first gas-powered 4 wheeler:



We added to our family two barn cats - Hank and Dolly... (Hank is a girl):



We painted Hannah's room upstairs and put in her new furniture - yes, it is VERY VERY VERY PINK:



We set up the boys room upstairs (almost there - not quite RIGHT yet):



We had some fireworks inside the house:



We finished the sheetrock in the soon-to-be living room, mud room, hallway and stairwell AND have started (and almost finished with) the first round of tape and bedding:




Installed a couple of windows:



And most recently - started sanding the ceiling to finish up the taping and bedding so we can texture:

PRETTTTTTY.... NOT!



On the list of to-do's for the weekend - hopefully we'll get to finish all of the tape and bed and POSSIBLY start the texturing process... I'm thinking we're another week out for that...

What makes all of the long nights worth it??? Moments like this:



Whew... Soon enough - we'll be done with the add-on... and start the remodel on the inside... and then onto the cows/horses/barn and the fences... sheesh! We'll see rest in 2013. maybe.

hahaha...

Much love...
