Family Reunion

Recently we had a family reunion at seven peaks, It was a Blast. I wanted to post just a few of my favorite shots. I hope we do it again sometime, it was great visiting with everyone.

Face Lift

We have given our house a face lift and wanted to share pictures. We love everything about our house but the outside needed something, it was a lot of peach so we opted for a lift. What do you think? We are pretty proud of the way it turned out. I also have a star to go above the porch but I have decided to wait until the yard is done before putting it up.


Before After


A Little Closer

Frustration

Have you ever tried to be very clear on your instructions and then surprised at how wrong someone understands what you have told them. Even if they repeat the same thing back to you.
I have been frustrated as of late with that very thing. We have been continuing to work on the house and yard. Because we have no idea how to do anything I have been researching and planning. I have done everything to learn what I needed to come to firm decisions but it seems that when I explain it to others they always miss the most important details. They know more than I do about these things and when I talk to them they act like I'm talking in another language. Have you ever had this happen? What frustrates you?

Back on the Train

I have finally finished a lot of the little things that come with moving and our Internet is no longer giving us trouble so I decided it was time to update. Everyday Shara tells me how much she loves our new house and how beautiful it is. I am so glad that she likes it, almost as much as Mike and I. It has been fun finding the right place for everything, the only place that I just haven't been able to get right is the pantry. It seems impossible to get right, I guess I better go back to my sisters blog and read how she did hers.

Our last place had no inside stairs so even thought Jane is plenty old enough to do stairs she had no idea when we moved in. I tried showing her but she just wanted to be held. Finally I asked Shara to show her, by doing it next to her. That was all it took, one day and she was a master.

Mike has finally picked golf back up and is loving it, I love seeing him do something that he enjoys so much. Besides the house we are pretty boring and I'm sure I have talked enough about that so i'll have to come up with a good idea for the next post.

Sorry I have been a slacker lately, but getting ready to move has taken some time. I always forget how much stuff we have until its time to move. I guess it's all relative though because once we move into the house I'm pretty sure it will feel like we have nothing to fill it up. I will try to post again soon, and hopefully it will be much more interesting.
