Dear Santa...I've been (mostly) good this year

The boys made their Santa letters finally! Sorry, my camera lense had a fingerprint on it so it's a little blury.

We waited too long to mail them, so Santa will just have to read them when he visits our house. The boys both drew pictures on them of what they wanted...Logan drew a candy cane. Noah scribbled. Who knew?

Happy Birthday, Noah!

I can't believe that my little baby is 2!! Ugh...I'm getting old!

More pictures!

Oh yeah...it's home :) The boys have already learned to love having a playroom!Helping me decorate the "Chrickams" tree!Our living room/foyer...a sea of endless white.The boys were so proud of what they did!The new cushions I got for the couch...makes it look new!

Well, the house is coming along slowly but surely. I'm just taking it a room at a time!

We're all moved in!!

We finally got all moved in Wednesday! The only room that is done is the kitchen...here are some pictures!

Walk through!!

We are FINALLY closing on our house next week! I can't believe that it has been this long already. We started the process in Feb...whew! We did our first walk through today. Here are some new pictures...everything is almost done, but we still have no appliances so the kitchen does not look complete yet.

I will be living here next week! How weird. It looks so pretty with the garage door closed.I just love this light in the foyer! The kitchen is going to be so nice! All the appliances that are missing are professional (less the gas stove) stainless steelThis is a close up of the travertine backsplash in the kitchen.
And, this is the master vanity. It is the comfort height cabinets and the granite counter tops. I'm so excited! I will be sure to put more pictures up next week when we get moved in!!

Argh...

The boys are pirates for halloween this year! They are very scary!

We are getting ready to go get some candy!!

Uh Oh...I'm getting sentimental...

Just a look back... We got married June 5th, 2004 in Garrard County at my uncle's house.

Logan was born May 16th, 2005.

Noah was born December 1st, 2006...can you believe he will be 2???
This is Logan and Naomi at the hospital when Noah was born!

This is Noah about a year ago wearing daddy's hat.

This was Noah over the weekend...I'm having a hard time swallowing that his 2nd birthday is so soon.

Well, that's a look back at the major mile markers in our life this far...more to come!

Our house is progressing quickly! We have a garage door and I figure very soon we will be locked out! All that is left outside is the sod, lighting, the columns on the porch, and our front door. This is it...we will be living here so soon!! It is 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, eat-in kitchen, formal dining room (which will be a play room), 2.5 car garage. Oh...and it is twice the size of our old house!! Yay!

This is the view of the foyer. The drywall is done! On the left is the half bath and the coat closet. On the right is the staircase minus the banister.

This is the kitchen view from the living room. On the right is the breakfast nook and on the left is the pantry.

I'm so excited! This time next month we should be all moved in!

Oh...

I forgot to update our house...we met with the builder yesterday and he thinks it will be ready in a month! Yay, we should be in there before Thanksgiving! I'm excited and very anxious. This has been such a long but fun process! I can't believe it has been 9 months since the original contract! Soon I will be decorating a new house!!!

It's been a while

We've all been so sick, so I haven't had much time to put anything up. But, last Saturday we went to the pumkin patch...Noah calls it the "pumpin" patch.

All the cousins...Noah, Gabby, Logan, and Naomi.

Logan is not quite tall enough. How cute!

My mom and the boys getting ready for the train ride!

We had a lot of fun. There was a lot for the little kids to do...a petting zoo, hay rides, a corn maze, horse rides, and the train.

Flavor Flav...

My little Flavor of Love. Haha...

Our house

The brick is done! It looks so pretty! There is just a little bit more roofing to be done. It's coming quick!

I still have a hard time thinking that this is mine! It's hard to comprehend that in 2 months this is where we are going to live! What a major step up from Chestnut Ridge!

Winchester!!

We went to Winchester last night...and they have started to brick our house!!! It is going to be so pretty! They should have the front door area done by Tuesday or so! All that's left before drywall is the electrical!!! And, we have all our tubs and showers in! This has been the funnest experience ever!

This is the greatest tub ever!!

We've been busy!!

We have done so much fun stuff this week! It is exciting that the kids are finally big enough to go do things and actually enjoy them! So, we went to Baskin Robbins on Thursday (they have never had ice cream out anywhere before!) and then on Friday we met Jeremiah at Chick-Fil-A and played.
