This is what I've been doing

So I realize it has been 2 months since I have last been on, but I really have been busy. On the last one I mentioned how we were really working hard on being able to start the house. Well it finally happened and that has kept me pretty busy. Especially these last two weeks. We finally dug on Feb 1st and we will hopefully start framing on Tues. We are now waiting for a garage floor. We were supposed to get pored on Thursday but that random surprise snow storm showed up. Now I know we need the moisture here in Utah, but really! Just one more day! Oh, well, we'll survive. We are still on schedule (only two weeks in I know) so this shouldn't be too much of a set back.
The kids are doing great. Abby is missing so many teeth she has a hard time eating, but she looks adorable. Coop's preschool flooded over the Christmas Holidays and got the whole month of January off. He's back now and I'm so happy cause he was getting so bored. Shelby is potty training and totally has the peeing down, it's just the pooping. That may be TMI, but honestly, what is it with kids and pooping in the potty. I'll be honest with ya, I just throw the panties away. I tried to wash one of them out and honestly started gagging. It's not worth it. Little Miss Whitney is growing like crazy. I think she will be walking in no time. She totally cruises on everything. She really has the personality of the other three. I love it.
Rob and I are about the same. He is crazy with work and building us a house. Business is good right now and thanks to all of you who continue to call us and refer us. LOVE YA! And I'm doing the same old thing: staying home with 4 kids, being Rob's secretary, generalling the house, working one afternoon a week, and hanging out with the YW one night a week. I actually switched from Tuesdays to Wednesdays so now I go to work at 1 until 6 and then go straight to YW. It has been nice so far cause now I'm only gone for one night during the week. Rob still gets his daddy night, which the I love. It's nice to come home and have dinner cleaned up and the kids in bed.
Hopefully that is enough excuse for you all to get off my back on not updating my blog. I do enjoy sitting down and reading your blogs once in a while and I thank you for making me laugh when it's needed:) I will try to throw pictures on here every once in a while to keep you updated. Here's where we're at right now
Here is the first day of digging. These two loved it! Our excavator let them both in the cab of the back hoe and let them dig with him for a while. Abby was in school but she got a ride the other day when they were out back filling. They were so nice.
Here's the 3 when we went out to watch the pumper trucks fill the foundation forms. They got plenty muddy and loved every minute of it:)
Here is the front of the house with just the foundation. This is basically where we are. This last week of storms have set us back bit, but hopefully we will get a basement floor tomorrow.
Here is the view of mine and Rob's garages. I only put this on here because I'm SO EXCITED to actually have a garage. YAY!
And here is another angle of my garage. Did I mention we need to bring in A LOT of dirt. Yeah, this is a small mountain of sand that was fill into the garage floors. We have both always wanted a flat driveway for a basketball court so we're still excited that it worked out that we can have one.
And lastly, here is the picture of our basement. This one is my bragging rights. So when Rob was out doing the radiant heat (which we are only having in the basement BTW), that's all the black pipe, he called and said he could use a hand if I wanted to come out. So I pawned the kiddos off (this first time of many I'm sure) and headed out. Can I just say that he gets a taste of my job every Wednesday and I am very much appreciated. However I have never gone to work with him. I only worked with him for a couple of hours and my butt was kicked! What a manly man I am married too. The pathetic thing is that this wasn't even a hard job. It's not like we were carrying tubs or water heaters. I was tying tube with wires. Yeah, I'm a pansy and my husband has got some serious muscles:) Any who, that's about it. Wish me luck on having a dry week!
