Update and House pictures.

So my dreams/plans of blogging the progress of our house was a bit unrealistic. I have gone through phases of exhaustion, stress, overwhelmed with the chaos, very thankful for the future space and I am currently am SOOO excited as I now have vision and decisions on paint colors (thanks Beth!!). I am missing having friends in my house and the joy of entertaining (Traci, you can relate, ha, ha). I have actually banned all kids, including my own (if it is nice out) to be OUT of the house during the day because there is nothing to do/play/or anywhere to be. I am excited to have the drywall begin this week and see it all come together in the next couple weeks. This post is just pictures of the stages so far, the last week has been plumbing, electric and insulation which is a lot of work but not progress you can really take pictures of. Enjoy and I can't wait to have you over when we are all done.Logan in the gutted bathroom.We came home for the Zaino's wedding to find the foundation prepped and ready for concrete.Our foundation poured.The siding torn off the house.The framing begins.The new roof line starts to appear.An inside view. Standing on my porch and looking into the extended eating area and then Noah's room past that. You can see on the ground where existing wall used to be because you can see the old tile and previous ceiling.Turn around from the above picture and you are standing where the future french doors will be, the windows have been installed and I am getting really excited about what is to come.

What's to come?. . .Future phone calls

Seriously, I am still laughing. I handed Logan her pink play cell phone that had gone through the wash. So as I was putting the laundry away (it had been over a week and the pile was about to tumble.) in the boys room, Logan made a phone call.(on the pink cell) Logan: Hey Desirae, how are you doing? Me: Logan, Mrs. Crouch is what you need to call her. She isn't your friend, she is Ella's mommy. Logan: Mommy, I am just talking with Dez. I just let it go because I was so tickled. It gets better. This is what I hear with long pauses in between. (I really grabbed Noah's sketch pad and wrote it down word for word) "I've been doing that for weeks." "Oh, you HAVE? Oh, Wow . . good for you!" "Isaiah, not now, I'm having a phone call." Then Logan makes her way into the boys closet, (I am still putting clothes away). I tell her leave the door open and get out of the closet. Her response, "Mom, just like you when you talk on the phone." ...

Today was Logan's photo shoot for her four year picture. Noah (seven years old) had his picture take a couple of weeks ago but I never posted them. Would you believe these were taken downtown. . . . Upland?? Traci Falder, (my running partner) has abandoned running with me to pursue her dream of starting a photography business. (no hurt feelings) She is extremely talented and I encourage you to check out her photography blog at tracifalderphotography.blogspot.com. In between these two photo shoots, I took Isaiah to JCPenny's for his picture because my membership runs out at the end of this month. After trying to keep my active 18 month old on a red dot, in a tiny room, with a billion props to look at, (but me not letting him hold any), it was all I could do to not walk out and call Traci to redo his pics. Which I will in the next week, hopefully:) When I first saw Noah sitting like this, I immediately thought this is exactly how Gary would sit. Traci told Noah to sit on this ben...

Baseball Season has Arrived

Noah as "Lead Off" Batter, which has become Coach Spiegel's nick name for him. This weekend we had a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Noah's team is 2-2 and Noah is having a great time. He is batting well and improving out in the field at his new position of pitcher. Last year he played third base and really liked that. Noah is learning to think about where he should throw the ball to get someone out BEFORE the other team hits. He has fielded well and then made errors in where he has or has not thrown the ball. This will come for him as he keeps playing. I hope this doesn't sound critical, I think Noah is a fantastic athlete for his age (I hope that doesn't sound braggy) I just want to journal where he is ability wise so we can look back and see where he improves over time. Noah at first base. Justin Singer as first baseman, a friend of Noah's from church and King's . Noah, Bailey Spiegel, and Conner Raikes. The Three Musketeers. Snow cone ...
