Homeowners!

Yes, it is official...actually it was official on November 5th. We are homeowners! I've been procrastinating putting anything on our blog because I don't have any pictures yet. Why would I show everyone pictures of boxes. I know, I know...I've been here for almost two weeks, but once we actually moved in, neither of us felt like doing anything. So here we sit...still not really unpacked very much. Anyway, we are getting there, kind of, and when we get it a little more presentable, I'll post pictures. We are just so grateful to finally be here, and we really appreciate all of those who helped us move, and for those who watched Macie while we were building. We love you all!

Halloween Festivities!

Well, our Halloween wasn't really very exciting. Macie and I took the day off work to clean our house. We cleaned all day. How fun is that? But it got better because I put Macie in her witch costume and took her to Lee's to get some candy, then we all went to the Aggie basketball game. It was Macie's first game not in my tummy. She did good til about halftime when she got tired and fell asleep. These pictures don't really do her justice because she really did look cute. Thanks to a lady in my ward who let me borrow the outfit!

My Sleeping Babes...

So people always say how sweet their baby looks while they are asleep. I agree, but for some reason I have trouble getting good pictures of Macie when she's sleeping. Is anybody seeing a pattern here?






I'm not sure why, but she just falls right to sleep as long as she can pull a blanket up close to her face.  Dustin was getting Macie in her pj's and forgot to unbutton her shirt before he took it off.  I was in the kitchen and was listening to him just laugh and laugh.  Now I can see why.
Here is Macie and I, hard at work.



Anyway, not a lot going on. Just trying to get an inspection on our house so we can close. We'll hopefully be posting soon as official homeowners...who knows when that will be. :)

Updates of the House

Well, these pictures actually aren't very recent, but it's a little something. We actually do have siding and rock, but this is just a picture of the house before that...framed and all.

We have the kitchen that Dustin is very proud of. He picked the floor and the cabinets. He actually picked almost everything in our house. I lack the "vision". He did a great job. It's obviously dirty in this picture, so I'm excited when it's all done and clean so you can have a better idea of how it looks. We also have countertops and appliances now, but those pictures will have to come later.


And here we have our living room. The middle where all the junk is will have carpet.


Basically we have to still build our deck, finish a little bit of trim, get toilets, and do carpet. That's about it. Oh, and a garage door. We are hoping to be in there in a couple more weeks. Keep your fingers crossed for us, though.

Better Late Than Never...

I was aiming for the three month pictures, but ended up doing them at 16 weeks instead.  I guess it's close, right?  Anyway, it was one of the funnest things I've done for a long time!  It was like a photo shoot!  A girl I work with let me know her roommate worked for a photographer, so I decided to get these pictures done.  I think it was totally worth it!  I really am going to put pictures on here besides Macie one of these days, but it was just so fun, and I thought they turned out pretty cute!

For those of you who are concerned, we are coming along nicely on our house. We aren't in yet, but updated house pictures will be coming soon.

It Works!!!

So our internet has been down for about a month, and I finally found the time to call and get a new modem thing sent to us. I am SO excited now! I have been wanting to post for so long, and now that I can, I don't really have much to say. I guess I will just treat everyone to some super cute pictures of the babes.





Minus the sleeping picture (which is how she sleeps at work...when and if she sleeps) she has the same look in ALL her pictures. She really is a happy baby, but that flash sure does something to startle her. She's always wondering what is going on. One of these days I'll get a good smiling picture to post. Stay tuned for hopefully more posts before another 8 months go by! :)

Memories!

I see this on everyones blog, and I think it's a fun idea!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I (or Dustin) had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.
