House Updates

This is what's happening at the end of the day - today, April 21, 2010.

They put the shingles on today and also painted the siding.


Here's the view from our back patio. We are so excited about this private backyard view with trees! The City owns the land behind us, which is a dry creek bed, so it will never be developed!

The front is looking good! The sheet rock is stacked inside the house, so it's sure to go up soon.

Marc spent some time this weekend running some cables so we can put a TV antenna in the attic. We're hoping to get rid of cable TV once we move in. So, TAKE THAT overpriced cable bills!!!

Spring Break Skiing

Enchanted Rock & Bluebonnets!!!

We experienced a few more "Texas must-dos" this weekend. Saturday afternoon we hiked up Enchanted Rock. It was so breezy at the top!!! Check out Coop's cool hair!

Taking a break at the top!

Coop...resting in the bluebonnets. They are so pretty this week!

Chloe found some cactus plants. Cooper thought those were pineapples...

Chloe's turn...

Trying to stay standing...

We found a great patch of bluebonnets growing along the highway just outside the Enchanted Rock park.

Happy 8th Birthday, Coop!

Cooper celebrated his birthday by taking 4 friends to see "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". Perfect. Gross. Boy. Humor!!!

After the movie, we walked over to Cold Stone Creamery. Yum!

Birthday morning...before school. What is that? A Texas shirt? Dude, what happened to the Razorbacks?

I took donuts to school so Coop could celebrate with his class at recess.

And what usually happens when one eats a donut? Well, you lose a tooth, of course! I told Coop that I could take his tooth home with me. But, NOooooOOOOOoooo! He wanted to go see the nurse so he could get the "special box that you only get when you lose a tooth at school"!

For dinner, we picked up Pizza Hut's Personal Pan pizzas and headed to the river to eat and feed the ducks! It was a great day to be 8!

The House Is Underway!

OK, yes. I am way behind on my blogging project. I have SO MANY PICTURES from the month of March to edit and post. More to come in the following days...

3.17.10 The house looks like our house now! Thanks to my neighbor, Andrea, for taking this picture of the slab being poured! This happened while we were in Colorado on Spring Break.

3.23.10 Wow, they got the second story up before I had time to take a picture of the first story. Keep working quickly, boys!

3.26.10 We have a roof, sort of.

3.26.10 Chloe and MeMe checking it out.

The kids come home from school each day with house updates. They can see the construction from the school playground! Very funny. It's a good thing that there are daily changes during this stage of the building!
