Our home part 1

Things are slowly getting together with the help of my Family :) My mom was great at getting my boxes out of the house and cleaning a few weekends ago. It was a huge help. We painted the kids beds. Got them set up in the bedrooms (they had been sleeping on the floor for a week) and got their dressers in. I painted the family room (big No No) I paid for it later and decided I shouldn't really be doing that at 8 months prego. Then Ryan and Denise came to help paint a bit more this last weekend. I think we did more playing than painting but we got most of our vaulted ceiling done which was a huge help. It may have never gotten done. There was no way I was going to do it. So the last few days I have been putting up pictures and stuff to make it look more like a home. I still have a lot to do but money is tight and the baby is going to be here soon so I figured I should post something now or I may never :) So here is our humble home. Candace and Wendy you will see by the pictures I am in need of your decorating skills. I'm thinking a California trip is needed :) This is only the down stairs. It is the cleanest. I will try and get part 2 soon.


I had to put the picture of Matt and Ryan painting. Matt was so scared. I was laughing and he was peeing his pants (Braden thought he really did)

It looks great! Very beautiful home! I lives the front entry on the porch with the rocks. Mark wants to do that with our house. It is tough to get everything you need for a WHOLE house, but when you own it.....you have lots of time to work on it! Congrats again-

It looks great. Hope things go well with the baby. We still don't own our house so I can't paint. I'm dying to get some color into our house.
