See ya!!

We had some visitors last weekend!
Aubrey & Tessa liked Quin, just
a little bit!:)


This was taken the day we moved in!
The lovely chandelier just had to
go! And notice the blinds?! We
get to say "See ya" to them pretty
soon too! Yay


The boys installing the fan!
Crazy high ladder! And Mike
used it to paint those
walls too! Carrie and I
didn't have a heart
attack or anything!!


Our new ceiling fan!! Yay!
Notice the bottom 2 windows have
shutters?!! Looks amazing!
We're just waiting for the
others to come in!!

I love progress! I could care less if we're
still "progressing" until the day we move outta
here next year!

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July!
We went camping over the weekend and then
came home Monday morning in time
to watch the fireworks {and get a
few home projects done!}
The kiddos having fun with sparklers waiting
for the fireworks to start!
{We did fireworks at home too, but I didn't
take any pictures!} And our neighbors are
crazy! They let off huge fireworks! So naturally
Caleb was like, "We're doin' that next year!";)




I love this one of Tess! I had to sneak it in!


These are some shots Mike took of the
kiddos playing at our camp site. So cute!!





The kids played in the creek a couple of times!
The water was freezing! We had a blast though!







Haha! We tried our hardest to get a good
shot of all of us together! Mike could
never make it back to us on time!



We had an awesome weekend...we're still recovering!
And, we're making HUGE progress with the house! Yay!

Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit!!
I love this picture! Tessa had to
keep "tabs" on Grandpa the whole
time they were here.:)
I love my parents to death!
They're the best!


We couldn't miss the opening weekend of Cars 2!
The kids have been wanting to go to the Palms to watch
it since it had such fun displays up!








We had a picnic up at Mt. Charleston on Sunday afternoon.
It was so nice to get out of the heat and just relax!
Lukey is such a crack up!






We made it to Chuck E Cheese, a few lunches out and my
fave Cheesecake Factory {snickers this time!}. My parents
picked out some carpet for their new house too! We
are looking forward to visiting them! {They finished
their mission last week!}
Happy Father's Day!!
I have an awesome Dad and husband!
My Dad has taught me so much! He really
has taught me what it means to have
your soul anchored in Christ.
Mike has been my rock. Through
health scares, bearing children,
moving to a big city all by ourselves....
Two amazing men that I am
so grateful for!
The kiddos made a "6 pack" for their daddy!:)



We went camping last weekend! Our niece Courtney
had a soccer tournament in Southern
California so we met my awesome sister
Val and her family
there and had a blast!




The kids found a tree that was
perfect for climbing!






My niece Courtney and her Soccer team!


Tessa and her cousin Bryn!


Here's all the kiddos, except a sleeping Tess, and
Mike "helping" Lukey.:)
