House & kidos

I guess I have waited long enough to post pictures of our house. There is still so much I want to do and touch up and change and I am waiting for but I guess this will do and I didn't really clean much before the pictures so please ignore the messes!

Front entry way

Kitchen/Dining room

Living room (the red is not as bright as it looks in the picture)

Hudson's room (his room has the most work that needs to be done upstairs it still needs the wood molding around the doors and the top of his bead board but I still think it looks pretty good)

Hallway/stairs

 Main bathroom

 The girls room this is by far was my favorite room to decorate I pretty much dreamed about it all the time and how it would look! ha ha ha

 Master bed/bath

 I have recently been working on the basement it is a long process but I am getting somewhere! The only room I actually wanted to take a picture of, the storage room.

 Josh has been working so hard on the yard fencing and he has started my salon!!!! YEA!!! He has it all framed in the plumbing is roughed in we still have a lot to do but I am getting so excited that it is getting somewhere!

 The plumbing for the sink

 Where the window will go

Ugh the garage floor.....Josh decided he was going to pick out the color for the garage floor, which is also my salon floor. its orange if you can not tell. my salon sink is red...umm pretty sure the last time I checked red and orange do NOT go together!!! We will see what happens to fix the salon floor area.....

 We finally have our yard done....mostly. There is still 3 more trees we want to get and bushes and flowers and such but if I never have to move, rake, kick rocks again it will be too soon! I raked rocks for almost 2 weeks straight every day and I am so glad it is over! We bought a truckload of dirt for our garden seeing how our dirt is 90 percent rocks and 10 percent dirt we got this beautiful looking dirt for our garden. Josh borrowed a skidster from a friend and him and the girls had a lot of fun moving dirt.

Our house

South side of our front yard where we will have flowers and bushes one day. We got our curbing done and I think it turned out really nice.

 We extended our driveway and put in a nice parking pad, dog run, and extended our patio. We also finally got to set up our trampoline I bought last thanksgiving! we will have a big gate here.

 Our front porch

 My awesome strawberries that I got for ten cents a piece Wahoo! They are putting up a half fence in the front between us and the neighbors to the north so after that is done I will put the strawberries there.

 Where the half fence and strawberries will go

 Our biggest tree its a honey Lucas

 Look at how pretty our fence is josh and our neighbors did a great job

The back of our house this is where my raspberries and blackberries will go

 if you look really close in this picture you can see my apple tree is....ummm maybe use your imagination! ha ha

 My favorite tree its my maple tree. Behind the tree is the dog run we will bring the dogs when the grass is all grown.

 My plum tree

 DUMM..DAH...DAH...DUM!!! We have grass Officially tonight we have found some slivers of grass! YEA! This is very exciting at our house! :) Can you see them LOOK VERY CLOSELY they are there I promise!

  Last month josh had the screw taken out of his foot because it was bothering him and they thought it would be for the best. It was actually a quicker recovery than I thought he was walking on it that day and we actually went and picked up all of our trees that day (I think he did it on purpose so I would have to dig all the holes and plant them by myself...not nice, but it worked, yes I planted all 7 trees that right 7 by myself...mostly)

 We had the fair last weekend I bought the girls all day passes to ride the rides they had so much fun we stayed there from noon till nine in the evening on Thursday, it was a long day but fun! We also went back on Friday and Saturday we were there pretty much all weekend. I got the girls hands done at the fair. josh and I got ours done right after we got married. I love them, when Hudson gets bigger we will get his done I really love them! Wish I could have taken more pictures at the fair but Hudson decided to give my iphone a bath, in case you didn't know my iphone didn't like that!

 Hudson is getting so big he is walking since about two weeks ago and now he is running! I think I am in big trouble! He also knows 3 words momma, daddy and uh oh, that one is my favorite because he says it in many different ways and tones to pretend he knows more words! He also knows how to blow kisses and wave (I love his wave!!!) He is a very happy boy and only cries if he is hungry or tired but mostly hungry he LOVES to eat and I am constantly taking things out of his mouth that he thinks are food but is NOT and I am trying to find something for him to eat, look out growing boy here we come!

 only picture I have of him walking, sorry remember broken phone and just found my camera battery charger.

 Cheyane is such a silly goof! She is always one to make me laugh and smile!She is going to be going into a neighborhood joy school and is very excited I am a little nervous about teaching it because I have never done it before but I am sure I can figure it out.

Remi is still sweet and stubborn she is one of the greatest sisters most of the time expecually with Hudson! She has been great at helping me while I have been working on the yard or cleaning the house she is a really good helper! She starts preschool soon she got into headstart and is very excited I am a little apprehensive about it because it is Monday-Thursday for 4 hrs so that is a long time for me I will miss all her help, I just have to keep telling myself it will be good for her right?

I have loved cooking! Allie and I have gotten together do do some cooking nights! Dad had some extra cherries from his tree so I went and picked them (not a good idea when you have 3 tired crazy kids with you and you are scared of ladders and Hudson thinks its funny to crawl up to you on the 12 ft ladder and scare the crap out of you, in case you didn't know!) Anyway we made 14 batches of home made cherry pie filling and 2 full pies and they looked BEAUTIFUL!

Fresh cherries

Pitted cherries

Letting the "juices flow"

 I was luckily enough to get to go to a Tim McGraw concert! Can I first just tell you how much I love tim mcgraw? I have tons of fun so I took TONS of pictures it was super fun! We also got to see The band perry and Luke Bryan AWESOME!

 I don't know if you can tell how close he is when he first came out he sang his first 3 songs in the middle of the crowd, he was super close!

 The girl next to me got way close and took this awesome picture of him and sent it to me!

They had to cut off his fingernail except 1/8th of an inch OUCH, and he got 15 stitches!
