Fall Party at GRANNY'S

We went to Granny's house for her ANNUAL FALL Party Friday night before Halloween. Granny enjoys seeing the kids dressed up and as usual we had a great time with all of our cousins! It is always entertaining when we get together! In the past even Granny has joined in on dressing up :)

The Clown and our 2 Butterflies! Umm...Not sure what you would call this creature! Jesse and BOZO. Allee and Grandma wrapping Granny in toilet paper! Jesse and I even got dressed up at the last minute!

We Are Almost In...To the Basement That Is!!

We have been working hard to get the basement finished so we can get moved in next week! We are so EXCITED as I am sure you all know:) Things are really starting to come together and it is really starting to look like a home!! We have really learned how truly blessed we are with family and friends through this process! They have helped any so many ways...doing laundry, helping run our kids to soccer practice and even games, coming out to the new house and helping clean, painting, hauling dirt and rock for our yard, letting our family use big equipment, staining trim and doors, wiring our house, giving up their own personal family time to help us, whatever it has been our friends and family that live around us have been here to help! We love you all so much! Words can't explain how much it all has meant to us!!

This is the view looking into our entry way from the great room!

Aunt Brenda We Miss You!!

Aunt Brenda was here for a couple of weeks from PA! We enjoyed every minute we got to spend with her and wished her stay was longer! The girls have already been asking when she is coming back :) Aunt Brenda is Papa Chuck's sister and we are thankful that they are both part of our family! Thanks Aunt Brenda for loving us!

Life In The Fast Lane

It is OFFICIAL!! Soccer Season began this weekend! We had a great time hanging out with our sweet friends, my mom and watching our kids and all they have learned on their new teams! Our kids switched to a club soccer team in Springfield and are learning so much! Allee and her best friend Annie's team won their opening game 3-0! They both played great! Hannah and her best friend Gracie's team also won their game 2-1! It was an GREAT game too! Annie, Allee, Will, and Emmie hanging out during the big girls game!

Will's team also won their game! Will and Hannah ~ "The CRAZY 8's" Gracie and Hannah enjoying time together during the little girl's game!

Allee ran for Student Council Representative for her class this year. She has tried in years past and has never had the opportunity before. So she was REALLY EXCITED when she got chosen this year! We were all really excited for her and this opportunity!

BIG SIS has had plenty of experience with making signs and writing speeches for Student Council so she was HAPPY to help little Al! Hannah has been on STUCO for several years and seems to really enjoy it! Allee really looks up to Hannah so she really wants to be involved in things that Hannah has been involved in. Hannah is a great encourager for her little sisters!

Emmie is probably one for the girls biggest fans!

Hope you all have a great week!

We Are Painting!

WOW!! Jesse and I have decided that this house building thing is a little CRAZY!! Yes, we are having fun, but we both enjoy a little structure in our life...STRUCTURE?... we might as well forget about it!!! Right now we are just along for the ride!! So the sheet rock is done and we are now painting! Our guest bathroom, laundry room, basement bathroom, and game room are all finished! The basement bathroom is a light denim blue, and the game room is a tan. Hannah's room is a bright yellow. She absolutely LOVES it!! I was a little worried about her being able to fall asleep in there but she said, "How could anyone be sad in my room? It looks like the sun is shining all the time." The color definately fits her personality! We are finishing Hannah's room this week and hopefully getting Allee's room started! The girls have had a great time picking out colors and painting their rooms :)

We chose a deep red for the guest bathroom and laundry room. This picture makes it look brighter than it is in person.
