Moving IV (LAST ONE!!)

On April 1st, we said we'd be in our new house by mid June. On June 17th, we said we'd be in our house by July 4th. On July 4th, we said we'd be in by August 1st, making it a LONG shot. Well we missed it again, but thankfully only by one day! Move in day is August 2nd!!!

July 8th, we picked out our stain color! (We picked the far left, Red Mahogany)

And we "remodeled" our countertops. 

Pretty cool! Brad worked hard on this. I gave up about 2 minutes into it and went to tape Jaden's room for his green stripe!



The stain looks AMAZING!!! (July 10)
(This is the living room)


July 11th, the backerboard was put down in the kitchen and laundry room!



First peak at the tiles!


Before and after as of July 28

The power company came July 30th!!

Brad made our kitchen windows BEAUTIFUL with his trim work!

Moving III (hopefully the last of these)

June was the month for painting all the rooms!! 
We finished on the last day! 
Now we're ready for tile and getting the floors redone!

We don't have any moulding or trimming on yet, just paint.

June

Anders is 15 months old!!
Making his "fish face"

We went to Nana and PaDan's house to visit Cousin Luke and Kate and Aunt Dana. 
We had SO much fun!

We don't do story time every night like we want to, but today we did and the boys loved it! (6/4/13)

Today was water day! It was so muggy and hot!

We got brave, and tried the slide in the pool!
It was a hit!

Friday was a rainy nasty day, and Brad and I were leaving for our anniversary trip that night, so I had a movie day with the boys. :) (6/7/13)

Jaden's nickname for Anders!

Brad and I went to Chattanooga to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary!

While we were gone, the boys stayed with MiMi and Pops for a day, and Nana and Papa Joe for a day.
Saturday was Cousin Kate's First birthday party!! So glad the boys got to go! (6/8/13)




June 12, we went to the free movie at the theaters!

We met Dana, Luke, Asheley, Teagan, Christy and Bryson!
They all loved Charlotte's Web

McWane Center Fun!
We're so glad Aunt Dana, Luke and Kate were here for the month of June!

Ashley Boyd and I were in charge of Preschool Crafts for VBS! 
She did a great job getting the ideas

The fountain wasn't on at the park, so we had an at home water day (and doughnuts)! (June 14)

That night, we had Father's Day supper with Brad's family

The 15th, we had Father's Day lunch with my family. 

Saturday night, we had our Father's Day with Brad

The 16th, we went to D-Daddy's for lunch

And that night, we had Grandaddy and the twins over for supper!
SO glad that we have so many Father's to celebrate to with!

VBS at our church was June 17-21. Jaden and Anders loved getting up every day and going to school!
Hope Jaden likes it this much, when he starts preschool this fall! ;)

Luke, Jaden and Parker are all in the same class!
FUN FUN FUN!!



Friday was Water Day!!

I can't believe Jaden went down the big slide!

Eating their Chilly Willy snow cones!!

He didn't love the VBS performance at the end... But he did great during the week! That's all that matters right!! :)

Jaden drew me a dolphin to help me feel better, when I had vertigo :)

Daddy cooked supper!
Not complaining, at least they ate something!

Pool Day!!

After working on the house, we went to Nana and Papa Joe's house for some Hick's Bar BQ. The boys "had" to have a bath. They're always more fun at Nana's!

Saturday was another water day at home. Too hot in this Alabama heat, not to have a pool nearby. 

God has blessed us with another month of life. So thankful for the freedom that we have, to do everything that we do.
