New Puppy

Siding and Mudding

The recent date of finishing our house could be the end of Febuary. Tommy said that he told the Cabinet guy to come the last week in Febuary to put in cabinets and that is the last thing we do. So there is an end in sight. Now all I am hoping for is that interest rates will stay low so that we can lock ina better interest rate. Here is part of our house sided. It is almost done just need to finish the front.

The drywallers are up there mudding right now, with now water. Hopefully, and I say hopefully because they should have done it long ago, that Hanna (the town) is hooking our water up.
Here is looking from our front enterance into the office.

Upstairs, there will be a railing.

The things Alex Can do

My baby is getting too big. Alex is growing up too fast and it amazes me the things that he catches onto that we didn't have to teach him. I think this is attributed to his big brother Donovan. Alex can jump off the ground, say several words: no, yeah, ah oh, shoe, no way, daddy, mommy. Maybe more but I can't remember. He knows many animals sounds and actions: neigh, moo, snake, alligator, elephant, dog, and monkey. It is so much fun to watch him grow. I love this age, especially when I can give him directions and most of the time he follows them, we can read stories together, and we can talk with lots of words being repeated.

Windows and floors

They were busy at the house this week. Putting windows in which look great. Not all of them are in because they needed to bring drywall in the house. Then we were super busy picking out tile. What a job that is? Not only did we have to think of the floors but also a pattern for the shower. Well it's all pick out and picked up except for pencil line and the grout color. We were also able to pick up our hardwood floors. Can I tell you how much wood that is? We are going to be busy. But we will like it in the end hopefully. Allan ordered the wrong color but maybe I will like it and then today I found the tile that I really liked but too late so hopefully it will all work out. If things go according to plan with the house meaning insulators come on Tuesday and Drywallers on Friday we will be putting in floors on Saturday. Now the only hold up will be water hooked up to our house.

Where's Blanky

The other weekend I got laundry done for the week. Which is amazing because usually I am doing laundry all week or at least into the middle of the week. Every once in a while Alex will help put clothes in the washer and of course his blankets. I just got Alex's blanket out of the dryer and gave it to him because he was crying and then I went around the house getting the garabage. I went in the bathroom and got the garabage and he followed. He stayed in there while I went outside. I came back in and was getting ready to put him to bed but I couldn't find his blanket. In five minutes his blanket was missing. So I looked everywhere we went and couldn't find it. Then I remembered the bathroom. I looked in the tub. No blanket. I thought to myself he would not put it in the toliet? I look in the toliet and look what I find.

Needless to say I still had laundry to do and now Alex thinks everything belongs in the toliet. I told my mom the story and she things he was just doing laundry.

The Weather Outside

I can't believe the weather. It is so warm for January. It is crazy. My mom has so much snow she struggles to get in and out of her driveway. It is so crazy. We have spent the last couple of weekends out in Salt Lake picking out floor. Hopefully this weekend we can start. IF you have any ideas for a shower tile pattern shot them my way because we can't find anything that we can agree on or we do but it isn't proclain. Well anyways that is about it.

Sleding

It finally snowed here is Duchesne. It snowed all Christmas which I was worried because Donovan and I had to fly out in two days but no worries as Allan mentioned before. The boys loved the snow. Allan took them for a fourwheel ride and then Donovan dragged Alex all over the yard. They had a great time.
