Our House....to be

Here are 3 pictures of the inside of the home we chose, we are putting a modular on a foundation. I forgot to take pictures of the outside, it's cream siding with burgundy shudders. It's kinda cool, because we saw a Cleary out building that we liked that had the same colors! Anyway come take a short tour of our home to be!

This first picture is the dining room.
I like the size of this dining room.
Now we just need a table that would fit AND look good!

This picture is of the kitchen. (duh!)
I really like this kitchen.
Next to the fridge (on the right) is a nice big pantry.
I REALLY like that idea, I've never had a pantry!
To the left of the fridge is a doorway that leads
to the laundry room, and the back door.
That area is not very big.
But we can add on later when $ isn't so tight!

The third picture is of the short hallway, and to the left you can see the first bedroom, where the 4 girls will be sleeping, fighting and all the things that girls do! Down the hall a bit and on the left, you can see another doorway that leads to bedroom 2. Where you see the laminate/hardwood floor change to carpet,is a family room. At the beginning of the carpet we are going to put another doorway to change the "family room" into another bedroom.All of the boys will be in that area of the house. Across from the girls room or so, on the right is an ok sized bathroom that all the kids can share. It has great potential.

On the other end of the house is the master bed/bath. The bedroom isn't way huge, but the master bath is huge. I will just put shelves and stuff in there to house more JUNK!!!!

Joshy Buddy Sleeping

Here is a cute picture of Josh. He was playing video games with Levi. Well, he doesn't really play but HE thinks he does, and that is all that matters. Anyway he gave it up and this was the outcome! This one was taken July 19th...

Weather Pix - July and August 2007

One thing about me, is that I love taking pictures of weather, all kinds. So, I'm going to share some awesome pictures with you.... I hope you enjoy them! The first 2 were taken July 14. They were both taken outside in my yard, at sunset. The next 2 were taken last night (August 8th) during a thunder and lightening storm, from my porch! It was soooooo cool! That is one thing (among a few 100 others) I love about NOT being in Alaska. But out here in the Midwest, it's even cooler (and I don't mean cooler air!) than Wyoming. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these pix, let me know whacha think!

Here is a picture of my friends family and mine together at Carthage Illinois.
The back row is (and if you don't recognize the name then I'm thinking that that person isn't in my family!)
Left to right: Craig, Ben, Erin, Apoima, Kristi, Brent, Tyron,Dylan, Chance and Levi.
Front row: Mindy, Ciarra, Heidi, ME, Sarai holding my Josh, Sara, Colton is in front of Chance. By the statues of Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum: on the left of the statue is Liana, My Hailee, Hailey Simpson, Elayna, Mailey and on the right is Kalob.
In case you are counting, there are 24. Mindy has 12 in her family + Brent just got engaged to Kristi, so they are headed for 13. We have 11! We aren't headed for 12 till Chance gets married after his mission. We'd love to adopt more children, but that is just not in the cards right now.

Chance Mission Papers....

Here is the picture that we took of Chance and sent in with his mission papers. It was a nice picture of a full body view, but we had to crop it down for uploading to his paperwork going to Salt Lake. I will keep ya'll posted on "the call"...

Up and Running...

I am setting up a new blog. I am new at this, so bear with me. I just want to share our family's news with all that we care about. So hang in there with me as I learn how this works.
