House

Well we are still hoping to be in the house sometime next week however we are probably just dreaming. It seems have the counter stove top was broke when it arrived and when they decided to go ahead and install the double ovens they we messed up also. However Roy believes they may still be able to get them this week.

How much LONGER?

We are getting pretty excited about getting to move. We are hoping to start moving next weekend the only thing that might hold us up is that the countertops did not arrive like they were suspose to (counter tops are setting in Decatur) but it seems as that may only delays are move by a couple of days. (No Mom, I did not yell and scream I didn't have to our contractor was right on top of it) We really haven't started packing since we don't have to be out of are old house,Thank God. I can't imagine building, having a timeline to move plus doing everyday things.




Alicia brought me down stairs to look at what they had done in her room and the bathroom. She was really impressed with the shower doors until I said "oh my if someone comes into the bathroom while your in the shower they will see your little fat naked body." She made quit a face and then realizes that no one but Kelly should be in her bathroom because Kelly is the only one she has to share with.



Kelly poses for a picture in the doorway leading into her room.



John and J.T. checking out the furnace.



Alicia poses with the kitchen cabinets. I didn't take the camera with me the last time we were at the house. More work has been done since these pictures were taken.

Cheerleading and the Hippo

Here are the latest Cheer pictures. Of course we always have to take pictures and its starting to look like we use the same one over and over.












Alicia made the Cheerleaders laugh when she did her impression of a Hippo. Her mouth is as big as a hippos and with her appetite she better be careful or her butt might get that big also.

The Ref at MACC

I took a few pictures of the referee at the basketball game (not the best quality). Jared worked the basketaball game that Callie cheered. As we are getting to the school J.T. says "well Grandma was right there sits a truck with a trailer hooked to it." Kelly was having trouble trying to remember who Jared was until we got inside and she knew instantly which of the three refs that he was becuase she remembered seeing him at the state fair trimming sheep.








As a ref Jared is pretty darn tough, on the court he isn't that shy little kid the Jarboe/Dunn really comes out in him. Would sort of remind you of Granny cause he is pretty much no nonsence. Alicia and I was coloring (not really into the ballgame) and a techinical was called. So of course I had to ask Callie what happened and she said "Jared doesn't mess around, that player should have kept his mouth shut and not talked back to him."

In the House and on the Walls

Roy has started hanging cabinets, Russ was hanging the doors, Dane was nailing trim and Funny Man Joe was playing with fire he was cleaning the yard and burning trash.



We just realize that we messed up big, the microwave is going to be up to high for Alicia. She informed us that it would be ok that she could use the step stool. We also realized with the tall cabinets there is no way I will be able to reach the top shelf.



This is J.T.'s room, I really thought it should be my office but well, J.T. thought he should have a room in the new house.



Alicia was showing off the doors. She liked the white door going into the storage room.



This is the door way to Alicia's room and into the storage room.

Ain't she pretty

Kelly loves having her picture taken at the new house.

The Cabinets are in the House

The Cabinets were delivered this morning!!! Bathroom and kitchen. They were being delievered while we were meeting with the lighting company because we recieved the wrong lights for the upstairs. Which luckily is not going to throw everything off track now they will be able install the cabinets while waiting on the lights.





The girls are loving going to the house each night. The lights and fans in their rooms work. Everytime something come to be installed in the girls room or their bathroom it seems to be installed first. The contractors seem to like watching the girls get so excited, when Dane installed Alicia's light switch she was more excited over her lights working than she was Christmas morning. Today Russ finished the tile in their bathroom so they are in heaven. Kelly and Alicia can hardly stand that there are three large boxes in Alicia's room and they can see in them, they know it is all for the bathroom but can't wait to see it. Roy and Russ still believe they will have us in by Jan 17th.

This is the light that will be out between the garage doors and at the front and side door.



Here is the hardwood flooring Roy installed in the kitchen and dinning area. The girls and I love it and John hates it all he keeps telling us is that our feet will be cold walking on the hardwood.



This is the tile I have in all four bathrooms and as you walk in the house from the garage into my office/wash area. In this picture it doesn't look so great, Russ had just been working on it and had just scrubbed off the excess grout. It will look better later when completely finished.
