Well, here it is...We went on our trip to AZ and UT. Then my parents and Dellma and Victoria came back with us and helped us tear out carpet and take off popcorn ceiling (or chicken - love you mom) and best of all, tear out walls! Thanks it was fun! :)
Then we headed over to Tacoma to see Nate before his mission and brought Merrill's parent's back with us. They helped us do A LOT of tapeing off and Merrill and his dad painted any brown that could be seen, white! :) Plus textured and painted the ceilings we'd scrapped. Mom helped me keep the kids busy and away from the paint! Thanks so much for all your help!
So, basically our families got to see all the mess and no finished product....we'll have to get you both back out here but the pictures with have to work for now.
We went out of town again and then we were able to come back and put the hardwood floors in while working around the guy tiling our new countertops! It got a little stressfull but we were able to get it all done and move in July 31! Hooray! No more renting!! Of course, we still have lots of touch up painting to do...but we are here in our own home and I don't have to tell the kids quite so many "NO's"..... :)
If you want to see more pics of the house or the outside of it... just scroll down a on the blog to the new house post!
Oh and Lynneah loved helping Dad with his projects, she's always a big help! :)

THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!! You guys rock! I hope we'll get to see in person this summer when we make our trip out west! Seriously I'm so happy you guys found such a great house- the yard looks incredible and even a second story balcony- wow! The kids must be so excited- good work- you inspire me to believe that one day we'll be able to live in a house we love again. You guys have come a long way since "turn right at Priscilla's" :).
Yay! So glad you are in your own place, and that I get to "see" you all again :) Hope you're all doing great! Looks like you've been having lots of fun!
Beautifully done! I am SO happy for you guys! You deserve such a gorgeous place. Thanks for posting. And yes, Katie made me laugh with the "turn right at Priscilla's" How about those Barbie Dolls? : )
