Update on the house

The house is moving so fast! One day it was a cement slab and a week later we got a house! One day they framed most of it, the next day they finished framing, the day after that the had walls up, then a roof! Wow! Next week they will start the dry wall. We had our walk through meeting last thursday and they showed us all the electrical stuff and all that boring jibber jabber and he kept asking "do you have any questions?" so finally macie said "I have a question! When is my room going to be done?!" I think it is moving so fast but for a kid a couple months is an eternity! She is so exited to get a new house and a new room. We turned in all our final picks so I hope it looks okay when its done! I keep second guessing myself but I think it will work out!

Sitterud reunion

Gotta love the tree swing!

Macie and Madi showing off their loot!

Diggin in the saw dust for MONEY!

It was a bit much for Bri!

Last weekend we went to the Sitterud reunion (my moms family). It was so fun to see everyone! We have always been a close family but now that we are all older and have families of our own and live all over the place, it is hard to keep up with everyone. It was so fun to see everyones kids and what they are doing. We went up to joes valley and we spent the day playing games and visiting and just having fun together. Macie loved all the little cousins and playing in the mountains! Thanks for a good time everyone!

Our New House!

They have officially started building our new house! We are so exited! It is suposed to be done in October. It has consumed our lives! I have been to the design center a milion times trying to figure out what I want! Not to mention the lighting place, the appliance place, the plumbing place and the list goes on and on! It had been a little overwhelming but so fun too. Merrill is like a kid at xmas! There isnt a day that goes by that he doesnt drive past the lot atleast once. His work is close by so he will drive over on his lunch and like a stalker sit and whach them work on it! haha! He is too funny. This is what it looked like 2 days ago and yesterday they started framing it! Next week we will post that when the framing is done. It is fun to whach it in progress! For us anyway...this might be totally boring to all of you!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a fun 4th. We went to the park which was rediculously hot! We let Macie play for awhile before we called it quits! She got to ride the swings and the train and play on the big bounce slide. We tried to cool off with a snow cone but that didnt work too well. We went to our friends house for a bbq and swimming and then headed to the fireworks. They had music and macie loved dancing and singing along (of course!). Brielle didnt like how loud the fireworks were! So merrill plugged her ears and then she loved it! We came home after the fireworks and did a few of our own. cant have a 4th of July without sparklers! it was a fun day with the fam!

Summer Fun!

It is really getting hot here! It has been such a mild summer so far but it just is kicking in! We decided to play in the water to cool off. And this little monkey Brielle can climb from the bottom of the slide all the way to the top and turn around and slide down! She is so wild! I cannot leave her unattended for 2 seconds or she is climbing on something or eating rocks or who knows what! She cracks me up!

Bubble babies!

My little bubble babies! Brielle wasnt loving it but she went along with it long enough for me to get a few pics! I love these girls!!!

Preschool graduation

This post is about a month late! Macie had her little graduation program last month. She really didnt graduate because she still has one more year befor kindergarten. She did so good with her parts and singing all the songs. She has loved preschool and has learned so much! She is such a smart girl! We are proud of you Macie and love you so much!
