The house

Ok, so finally I'm getting pictures up of the evolution of the house and I already have more pictures to post that I haven't got off my camera yet. But for now these will have to do.

Here is the lot we picked out. If you squint you can see the boys at the back property line.

Here's the view of the mountains.

Yea! They started digging the foundation.
More foundation digging.

Now they're pouring the cement for the foundation.

Here it is completed and back filled.

Here they are digging for the land drain and removing some extra dirt.

We have walls! This was a very exciting day.

This is a view from the back.

And the roof begins.

Completed roof.

This one guy shingled our whole roof by himself in one day.

And the back.

All done.

So now they are done with the brick and will be starting the stucco soon. All the sidewalks and the driveway have been poured. And the inside is all painted, the shelving is up and the flooring starts in a couple of days. Wahoo!

Alex graduates from Preschool

Here are a few pics from Alex's Preschool graduation. He LOVED preschool and adored his teacher Miss Jennifer.

They were all so cute!

They sang a song about dinosaurs and Alex held up the picture for the brontosaurus.

Miss Jennifer put together a scrap/remembrance book for each kid with pictures from throughout the year. It turned out really nice.

Here's all the kids with their books.

Grandma brought balloons for the graduate.

Here's all of us supporting our little guy.

Alex turns 5!

These are a bit late too - but oh well. Alex wanted a tractor cake and here's what it came out as.

Here's his early birthday party/joint welcome home Dani party.
He loves him some Thomas!

Grandma Doris and Grandpa John took us out to eat at Texas Roadhouse a few days later.

Sitting on the saddle

Now enjoying the ice cream.

Here he is with his Preschool 5 year old crown.

Dani's Home (6 weeks ago :)

Ok, so these are all in reverse order because it won't let me rearrange them. My sister Danielle got home from an 18 month LDS mission to Charlotte NC. So even though these are late - here's some pics from us picking her up at the airport. We are so happy to have her home!
