New House

We are so grateful for the opportunity to build a new home in Rigby. Mark's uncle asked us, "What makes you think your marriage is strong enough to withstand that?" Ha! Honestly, it has been one of the funnest things we have ever done together and has been practically stress-free. A lot of that is because we are totally on the same page with things though and he trusts my judgment on colors and what not. =) It's been fun to see it progress so here are pictures of the journey thus far.

 This is the view from the kitchen looking into the living room.

 Same shot a few months later.

 The stucco got painted this week! I  LOVE the way it is turning out. Looking forward to seeing it with the rock and my yellow door.

 I adore the molding around the windows. It looks so much better in person.

As of right now we are scheduled to be finished September 13. Sometimes it feels far away but for the most part it is flying by! And that's a good thing because I am losing sleep over the whole process. Decorating and re-decorating it in my mind and envisioning moving day, etc. So very excited!

Update!

Emmett is growing like a weed. He is crawling everywhere and loves to pull himself up on anything and everything. He has his two bottom teeth and is cutting teeth on the top but it's his eye teeth, not his front teeth. That will look interesting! He is such a happy, content little bug (unless he's tired or hungry, but aren't we all that way?!) and we are thankful every day that we didn't have a little girl because we never would have had him.

This is probably my favorite picture ever of these two. They posed themselves and everything! Such cuties.

 Blocks! Every day, blocks! Right after breakfast just about every single day the kids break out the blocks. They are so creative and imaginative and I'm so thankful they got that from their dad.

 I left Emmett at home with Mark with a double ear infection and a heavy duty antibiotic so I could go to girl's camp for one last time with the Sageview ward. It was so nice to be out in nature and spend time with the girls and leaders I have come to love so much. It was a bittersweet experience for sure!

 Goofy kids. Love them all.
