SUMMER 2009

This summer has been busy and fun! Here are 5 things we have done this summer:

1. Built the deck and settled into and decorated our house!

2. Invited each of my sisters down (one at a time) for sleepovers!

3. Celebrated the Fourth of July at our house. We invited our families over for hot dogs/brats and yard games!

4. Welcomed Brent home from the Army! We missed him for the past few years! We were finally able to get some good family pictures (minus Jenny... she was working).

5. Found out that we are expecting a baby! Baby Wiley is due March 8, 2010 and we are very excited!

PREGNANT!

No baby bump yet! (8wks)

12 week ultrasound... starting to look like a little person in there!

Working on the House: Summer '09

Since moving into our house May 20, we have been very busy (or should I say Adam has been very busy) with many projects around the house. Since moving in, we have landscaped the front yard, installed a water softener and garbage disposal, and started building a deck. Homeownership has been wonderful so far and it is nice to be able to do what we want with our house. We are very happy with our choice to buy!

Before landscaping... boring!

Ripping up sod...

All the plants are planted...

And voila! The finished product!

Digging holes for the deck posts.

All of the materials!
