Kelly and Gregs first baby pictures

Yesterday Kelly my best girl in VA had some pictures taken of her 4th baby due in the spring. HE, yes, HE as the doctors think already loves to smile and say cheese. He would get that from his older sister Beanna. So I hope you all enjoy the baby pictures!!!! I sure do!

A link from my Mother

My Mom sent me this link. Its for hurricanes in my county. I didn't even knew we had it. Mark it if your one of my local friends...Or just check it out if not...It's pretty neat!

Thanks Mom

We added two new chairs this weekend. I bought them from Pier 1 Imports, I just love that store. The chairs have to orange in it like my other chair and all the browns in it from my couch and walls...We still have to get it all moved around and placed just right in that room, but we have many years to figure that all out.

Rhonda

The room is coming together. It is so dark too. I need more lighting or we will be sitting in the dark. I love it though. This room is meant for chatting and sitting down with a good book.Those boxes may be gone someday...and maybe we will hang a picture or three..We still need some black end tables in there, all in time..

Rhonda

Sheepy has found himself a new chair.

kIRK AND THE KIDS GAME-TV ROOM...NO MOMS

Kirk's pride and joy...His new 56 inch FOOTBALL T.V....For the kids my tushy! This TV is great for video games too..The people are HUGE!

Rhonda

The kids new sofa, it seats about 7 people. Its up in the gameroom.

THE BOYS ROOM...

The rug has orange in it, that was Gunnar's main color pick. He wanted orange walls...He lost that battle. WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR EACH BOY TO HAVE THIER OWN ROOM, BUT THEY WANTED TO SHARE A ROOM...SILLY!

Here is Dra showing sister how to put his new trombone together. This is his second year playing so he bought him his very one. Now that he has to carry it to school on the bus everyday to class and back, he's wishing he'd picked something MUCH smaller...it little to late... He's doing great on it and we are so proud. He is in his new room. His walls are a navy blue. Very dark, calming and very nice with all thier white furniture and trim.

Rhonda

Dra in his new room. He is here with his cat Ratso, Snuggle bear and my Big Bear from when I was a kid. He was cleaning his trombone.

Rhonda

Our family diningroom.

The diningroom was sorta dark to take pictures, but I tried.The top part still needs to be painted. My Grams things fit in the room very nice too.

Here is the formal diningroom. The lowe part is like a dark coffee and the top is sorta like a softer brown..That top color may change.

Rhonda

Our sunroom...The romanshades are white, from Ikea. I bought those in MN at the new Ikea.This room is going to be used the most my me...The kids and dad seem to like the gameroom more...

Rhonda

This is the sitting area of the sunroom. Moms fav couch and BLUE entertianment center..back together again.

Half of the sunroom.The kids have their morning meal here in the sunroom. They just love this room, we all do.

Josh turns THREE

Today was Joshy Wallys 3rd birthday. I had to wait for my sister to post a picture of him because I don't have any on this computer. This is my sister youngest babt boy. He is just a doll. As you can see he is telling this person he is THREE years old. Aunt Rhonda and her gang love you and miss you more than you know!

The house is all ours...

What a week.... We closed on our new home, we had a hurricane,water heater blew up,Dra was sick, kids had no school, and the movers came a day late, DUE to the hurricane. But it was worth it all...We bought it on my parents Anniversary in May and closed on my Pop's 89th birthday on the 13th(would have been). The kids, Kirk and I LOVE the new place. Its all we dreamed of. I will be blogging more as soon as I find the time. We have some great pictures to share of the hurricane that hit us and the house too...Just keep looking back....

Thank you..ButterCup

Kirk earned another award....

The Air Medal is awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity in or with the Armed Forces of the United States, shall have distinguished himself/herself by meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flight. Awards may be made to recognize single acts of merit or heroism, or for meritorious service. Award of the Air Medal is primarily intended to recognize those personnel who are on current crew member or non-crew member flying status which requires them to participate in aerial flight on a regular and frequent basis in the performance of their primary duties. However, it may also be awarded to certain other individuals whose combat duties require regular and frequent flying in other than a passenger status, or individuals who perform a particularly noteworthy act while performing the function of a crew member but who are not on flying status.

Rhonda

Well, the shot was a bit off...but you can see all the beauty of the room...I think the lowe part will be dark brown, with the top, above the rail with be a liter brown...With brown silk curtians to match from Ikea...

Rhonda

Oh yes, the gas stove is almost in, the mic is mounted and the counter tops uncovered. What do YOU THINK??

Rhonda

Rhonda

The kitchen with the counters uncovered. I am so happy with our picks!

Rhonda

Yes, the carpet will be placed Thursday morning! We forgot what it looked like, but we still love it!

Rhonda

Today we headed out to the house and it looks wonderful. The word came down that Monday the 12th we do our tour of the house and Tuesday we CLOSE..Yes we close...only 13 days late and much more stress later! It will be so worth it all I am sure, once we get those golden little house keys in our hands....

Rhonda

The house is so close to being done. It is looking like a real home.
