The House

Well things are moving along with our house. Monday we will hopefully be having our final walk through if everything is fixed by then. There have been a few set backs, but things are now moving along. The most recent things to be done are the counters in the kitchen and bathrooms. They also put in the shower walls in the master bathroom. The faucets were put in after I took these pictures. The appliances were also put in the same day they did the counter tops. Jer picked these counters because of the sink. The sink sits below the counter with no rim and Jer said he wanted that because you could push things into the sink easier. Everything is mostly done. Just a lot of touch ups and a few more things to fix. The grass was put in and the sprinklers. Jer isn't to happy with the way they layed the sod or the layout of the sprinklers, so when we move in those will have to be fixed if they won't fix them before.

Halloween 2007

For the longest time Harley couldn't decide what she wanted to be for Halloween. She was torn between a witch and a 50's girl, once she figured out what that was. So we went back and forth for a few weeks until she finally decided to be a 50's girl. When that decision lasted for a week straight without changing back I went to the fabric store, found a pattern, and made her costume. Mylies costume was simple. She was a monkey because that was the warmest outfit that I could find for her and knowing we aren't in California where it is 90 degrees, she needed something warm. We had a trunk or treat in the ward. Mylie was just excited to be out and follow Harley and learn to do what she was doing. Halloween night we went trick or treating with my cousins. SInce Harley is the oldest she was excited to go door to door, the younger ones say the first few pieces of candy and then wanted to sit down and eat those not caring much about walking to other houses. We did have a great time though. Now Harley has a dress up outfit to go with her princess dresses and if Mylie doesn't grow too much this next year she will have a costume for next year. If she does, we have a monkey outfit if anyone wants to use it. :0)!!

The House

Our house is moving along surprisingly fast. Faster than I ever expected. This past week they fixed all of the stucco problems, put on the brick, installed all of the siding, laid the flooring and installed the cabinets. We have had a few problems that they are fixing, like half of the cabinet doors didn't match the other half. They looked the same, but some had a distressing on them we didn't order and do not like and the other half are the way we wanted them. So they are going to come back and replace the doors we don't like. We have a great building supervisor who is doing an amazing job making sure everything is done right and making sure it is what we wanted. So attached are a few pictures of the cabinets and the finished outside.

Pumpkin Patch

So I have come to realize that in Davis County there are not too many pumpkin patches. Everyone seems to be getting their pumpkins from the super market. So for last weeks playgroup we all decided to find one and take the kids to it. The best part about the 1 patch that we found is they do a lot with the local elementary schools so there was a ton of things for the kids to do and it was all free, not the pumpkins. There were two mazes, one for little kids, and one for bigger kids. There was wagons to pull and a house to go in and play. They had so much fun running through out the pumpkins. Harley wanted to stay in the maze. When she did come out to find a pumpkin she walked up to the first one she saw, said "I want this one. Can I go back to the maze now?" So me and Mylie went to pick a pumpkin, but all she wanted to do was sit down and play in the dirt. It was left to me to find a pumpkin, so I picked one I liked and 6 tiny ones to paint black and make into spiders. We did have a fun day.

Harley is trying to pick up a 25lb pumpkin.

Mylie found a plastic pumpkin that she had a nice conversation with, when she wasn't poking out its eyes.





Mylie's favorite part was riding in the wagon.




Mylie wasn't quite tall enough to reach the face holes so Harley got to go behind and put here face in and become a witch. She loved this picture.

Mylies Favorite Place to Sit

Mylie has found a new favorite. Sitting in the fridge. Or freezer, which ever happens to be open when she walks into the kitchen. She just sits there happy as can be. I think if we let her she would sit there most of the day.

The Giant Pumpkin

Last Saturday me and the girls went to see the giant pumpkin weigh in. Needless to say the pumpkins were huge. The winning pumpkin was 988 lbs. I think or something close to that. Mylie looked so small compared to those huge pumpkins. There was also a giant watermelon. Harley asked if we could buy it and make juice out of it. I talked with a guy who grew a 400lb pumpkin and asked him his secret, so with what I learned maybe we can grow a huge pumpkin next year and enter it into the contest.

Latest on our House

Well they finally got the first layer of stucco on our house. I don't remember picking these exact colors, but Jeremiah likes them, so I guess this is what is staying. Today, thursday Oct. 18th they are supposed to be starting painting the inside of the house, but there is a few things that need to be fixed before they can do that so we will see when that will happen.

Okay so if Angie is doing this blog thing, I think I will sit down without Jer's help and figure this out. He told me that this is now my project. So here it goes. I thought I was doing good with the Facebook thing, now we are all doing something new. We are not doing much just impatiently waiting for our house to finish. It really hasn't taken that long, its just we need to have our own space back. Sunday since it was still nice weather outside we went up into the bountiful foothills and found a really nice background to take family pictures. Here are just a few of my favorites, I don't think you all want to look through 130 pictures. Enjoy.

Our House

So the house is moving along. Last time I went there with the girls the moldings and baseboards, doors and shelves were being installed. Hopefully soon they will paint the stucco or whatever they do so I can remember what color I picked for the house. I will go to the house soon and take more pictures to update. We are supposed to have our final walk through and close on Nov 19, happy birthday Jer. So everyone plan on working for thanksgiving.
