the kids love to go work at the "jungle house". They wear their new boots and take all their tools. They absolutely love it there...I cant wait till we are there for good!

Stained Concrete Floors

They stained the floors and we are SOOOO happy with them! We picked the color chocolate and it is definitely the color we wanted! We had to cover them, so we wont get to see them again until time to move it.
Pic taken before we swept, so its quite dirty....

My Little Cowgirl

These are just some pics that I got of Molly while I was playing with my camera. Thought they were adorable! She cut her first 2 teeth yesterday. She is late at getting teeth, but not as late as Maddie!

(she really does not like wearing hats...)

House Framed!!!

The house is going up quickly! They started framing on Monday July 19, and have already finished for the most part. The framers will come back on Monday to finish up little detail work such as the arches within the doorways and framing the fireplace. Today the exterior will be worked on. They are putting up the exterior walls and soffets (I really have no clue how to spell that!). Windows are being delivered today as well. Early next week the roof will be on!

This was taken at the end of framing day 1. Its a view of the front of the house, Mason is standing inside entry way.

This is a view from the family room looking into the kitchen/breakfast room, and you can see the stairs in the hallway leading up to the media and game rooms.

This view is from the entry way looking back through the family room and into the backyard. There will be 3 giant windows there so you will be able to see straight through.

This is taken from the front corner of the lot. This is the view that is seen as you drive up the street. And the blue thing...that is the toxic waste site that we dont go near...

Slab Pour 7-16-2010

We got up early this morning and made it out to the site around 7. At that point 7 concrete trucks had already been there! The kids ablsolutely loved watching the workers pour the slab and work on it. Mason watched so intently and thinks now when he grows up he wants to be a "concrete man". I am sure every step of the building process he will change what he wants to be. But he truley does love the "workers".

The kids watched in amazement...

Daddy took the kids to see the trucks up close...

Molly wasnt quite as interested as the other two kiddos...

The ducks all lined up...

We were sitting under the big tree when these vultures popped up out of the tree...needless to say...we packed up the chairs and moved far away! They were letting us know that was their tree, not ours.

The kids were smoothing dirt as they played "concrete truck"... they were definitely using their little imaginations!

They were almost finished pouring the slab when we had to leave. All that was left was the garage and the porches. We will visit again tonight to see it finished!

Monday, the framing begins!!!!
