Well that was a busy month. Shelby turned 3, so we hit up the local Chuck-n-cheese (that's is what we call it around these parts-Chuck-E-Cheese in layman's terms), got a roof, some shingles, plumbing, and front steps on the house while playing in the mud, played outside in the beautiful spring weather, enjoyed the ward pinewood derby, and am trying to survive yet another ear infection and possible RSV with Whitney (calling the ENT in the morning for tubes-hallelujah). So here I am, just finished doing some bids for Rob, who BTW is a trooper going on very little sleep lately, and I am just happy to be sane. I love life! Here are some pics (and as I'm putting them on I realize that I haven't taken any lately, but this will some-what do. I'll try to take some more this week. These are from a couple of weeks ago)
Front entrance. there are stairs here now, and just today the framers changed the timbers on top to an arched entrance to be covered in rock.
Our fun bonus room. Rob has decided it will be a theater room in the future.
Our garages AGAIN. Yes, I know I keep you up to date on the garages a bit, but I'm just really excited to have one:)
Here is the main floor with now walls. Like I said, we have all of the walls now and a fire place. WOW, I'm a slacker!
The view to the back doors that will go back onto the deck.
And here are the bathing children. Yup, totally covered in mud!
At least they had fun though right?
Those orange pants that were her Dora costume for Halloween-very...much...stained. Hopefully a little oxy clean will do the trick.
Look at those dirty toes!
And here is my heaven-sent-new-neighbor's tub. By the time I realized the kids were playing in the mud I knew there was no way they would be able to get in my car. Luckily Angie has boys and knows mud well, so she didn't mind. This picture was her tub after the rinsing. There is a wash clothe in there too for the record-not more mud.
And here is the birthday girl. Can you believe she is already 3? It took us a few days to convince her:)
There is Mr. Cheese himself.
OK, last picture. Do you think she liked it?
Well, that's about it for now. See ya next month:)

LOVE it! Can't wait to see it finished!
Love the house, I bet you are sooooo excited!! P.S.- 6 miles Saturday, are ya in??
That looks like its going to be a nice house for the Jolley family. I can't wait to see the finished product. You still never made it out. I guess its a little too late now. Hey as for running the marathon, run 6 for me this weekend too!
I don't think you talk too much about garages. As a former garage-less gal myself, I think they are truly a precious gift. Near to the gift of children. Uh, just kidding.
Love the mud pics. I'm sure that was a day that the older kids will remember for a while.
Good times.
Looking good! life is grand! Thanks for keeping us up to date :)
So we will have to set a date so you can take me out to see the house. I have only seen the dirt lot....so sad! The pics are great! The kids look like they are in absolute HEAVEN with the mud!
Your kids are getting SOOO big. Your house is going to be awesome!!!
