Kid Pictures

Here are some fairly recent pics of the kids.

Evan has been rather difficult lately about taking naps even though he obviously still needs one! It was about 7 pm last night I was washing dishes and I looked up at Evan and he had fallen asleep in the middle of coloring! we thought it was funny and had to take a picture before we picked him up.

These pics are from a few weeks ago and aren't really the best but i thought i would share them anyway. He had just figured out how to get on and off his toy by himself and he was so excited and proud of himself!!

well I can't figure out how to rotate these photos so I guess you will just have to look at them sideways. these are just some pictures of Josh from this summer. his looks have really changed since . I will try and update again soon with Halloween pictures.

House Pictures

I FINALLY got my pictures downloaded! I was going through them and there are a ton that I want to share but since I don't have a ton of time I'll just post some pictures of our house and some fairly recent pictures of the kids, enjoy!

The siding supposed to be a sage green but it kind of looks a little gray in these pics.

This is from when we were prepping to paint. I told Lars that if we ever build again that we should just let the professionals do the painting! it was a LOT of work. Thankfully my Grandma and Grandpa Nelson were absolutely amazing and helped us a TON, I think it would have taken us twice as long without their help.

These are just a couple picture of what will probably be Evans Bedroom

Need I say more?? I am SO excited to use this tub!! (after I clean it of course, it looks rather dirty in this picture)

The house is starting to look a lot more livable now. They put in the vinyl and closet systems last week and they got all the cabinetry put in this week and they will be putting carpet in next Monday! Yay! I will try to take more pictures this weekend when we paint the colors in the kids rooms. Although we are not looking forward to the process of moving and having a higher payment I think it will be worth it, we are so excited to be in a house and have more space.

Update

Ok, so I started this with the intention of keeping up with it but that obviously didn't happen! hopefully this time I will actually keep up with it though. The kids and I kept busy this summer playing outside and gardening. We were able to freeze a whole bunch of green beans, peas, carrots, and apple pie and crisp filling. we also canned some salsa and peaches. I would have liked to do a little more canning but oh well, maybe next year.
Also for those of you that don't know we're buying a house!! I'm so excited. It is 3bedroom, 2 bath and 1,410 sq. ft. We are so excited to have more space! Lars is excited to do the landscaping and I'm excited to paint and decorate. we should be moving by the end of November. I think I've finally figured out how I will paint the kids rooms. I'm thinking that in Joshua's room I'll paint the bottom half of the wall brown and the top half the room will either be a baby blue or white with blue wall hangings and stuff. In Evans room I'm thinking I'll do the same thing except with red on bottom, white on top, and something navy blue separating the colors. he has a lot red, blue, and yellow things so I thought that would look good. I will hopefully post some pictures this weekend once I get them downloaded of the house, joshua's b-day, our trip to Downata Hot Springs this summer.
