Brickey's

Madison's school play

Madison was in a school play last June. It was called King Arthur's Quest. She was mini Guinevere. She did awesome seeing as how she only had 4 days to prepare for it.

Spring '11

Did an MS walk with lots of family. It all helps:)

Girls with their new cousin LaVada.

Another charity walk, this one is the CF walk and we were on Team Nathan.

Pedi's!!! I think Andrew was gone or going to be home late so we had a fun time without him.

Madison got new glasses:) She looks so cute.

Mom's Retreat '11

And as always the mom's retreat. One of the funest times of the year. This here is the room I stayed in.

Us ladies at the really old bar called The Brick, very cool place.

The running water spitoon in the bar.

Sign outside.

Winter/Christmas '10

Girls playing out in the snow with Bella. This was about the only snow we had last winter.

Girls with Grandma Karen.

Girls at Jenna's Christmas program. All pretty'd up:)

Found some more cute pictures.

These are two of the girls that came over from Rowanda and sang throughout the Northwest. Our church hosted most of them.

The girls with two deer, can't remember which ones though.

Halloween

Girls were obviously a Doctor and Snow White. I can't wait for their costumes this year. You'll have to wait and see.

Andrew and I went to our friends annual Halloween party and I was Snow White as well. Andrew had just gotten back from a trip and hadn't had a chance to put together a costume. But as with the girls I already have costumes figured out and I'm totally excited about it.

Our new house

So here's our newish house. We bought it about a year ago and have been finishing the basement since January.

The basement family room (a.k.a. theater room) with studs up before insulation.

Laundry/Utility room before insulation. We put up all the framing in this room.

Same room with drywall.

Theater room with dry wall.

It's all coming along, slowly but surely. We are down there pretty much every weekend and have been since January with the help of Andrew's parents. We are looking at being done before the holidays so that we can have family over and it not be a construction zone:)
