Basement Walls!

So the basement walls were poured yesterday! How fun. I'll have quite a few pictures the next few weeks. They will start framing next week, so we will get to see a lot more! Yay!!!

Have you ever seen Up?

I felt like was the balloon man on Up the other day at work. There are 57 balloons in this picture. My fingers were sooooo sore by the time I was done tying all of those balloons. Can you imagine how many balloons he would have had to have made?

Footings in and Walls Started

It's exciting to actually walk into some part of our house!

Yay!!!

So I was excited last week to see our house strung out (marked in bright green). But today....We had a hole!!! I was so excited!!! We are finally getting started. I can't wait to see our hole become a house!

Still Waiting!

We are still waiting to break ground for our house. I guess right now we are waiting for the construction loan to go through. I hope it does soon. The city fees double if we aren't started by November first. So we are hoping this week will bring good news!

Kitchen Ideas....

So we are thinking of doing our kitchen kind of like this. No red wall, but we like the dark cabinets, white counter tops, and our island would have the green counter top. What do you think? We are going a little more modern.

My Two Little Friends

These are my cute little friends, and my nieces. They are a ton of fun. Since I moved to Manti, I have spent a lot of time with these girls. They call me quite often to see if I can "play". I love it. I think its fun. I am very grateful for the kids in my life. Thanks girls for always brightening my day!
