Home - photos and more photos

So we all know it has been far too long since I have blogged.. and although it seems as though it is hardly ever checked - it actually is. So for those of you wanting a sneak look into our lives to date - here it is. Above - Master bath remodel/ update in progress - the 90's dark green floral was so not working for me.
We finally have twin sinks in the master bath, and a huge tub I've yet to get into due to remodell which is taking a lot longer than expected - and a shower with a seat - yep it has a seat.
Guest bath which we are all using right now.
Our bedroom, in progress - and our KING SIZE BED! Thanks Nee Nee!!!! I like to make a my space corner in here near the chair - I have a watercolor Angie painted of my home town beach framed and a glass jar of sand my sister sent me from the same beach - so it is a tad sentimental room - and i like it that way.
Eating area and part of kitchen - wish i could say it is always clean and picked up - but half the time I'm in there cooking so it is always pretty busy.
Looking in from the hallway - which runs to our bedroom, the garage and laundry. There are another 3 bedrooms on the other side of the house with a hallway leading to those - and the spare bathroom is also off that hallway. Have yet to get a picture of Jackson's room - it is a great boys room and he spends heaps of time in there playing - which I didn't think would happen. Previously he has tended to bring his stuff out and play in the lounge room, but now he keeps his stuff mostly in the room.
Lounge looking to front door area.
Strange fireplace - we are planning on changing the face and getting a new mantle.
Other side of living room looking out to back yard
in the backyard - he loves his truck
and so does Kamryn!

This masterpiece was created by Makena!
The masterpiece in progress
Hanging out and having fun - Hannah, Hayes and Makena with a lot of play-do (i made it in bulk)
End of the day - Kammy and Brad having some laughs -
We were invited to the Hughes home to celebrate Cliff and Carmen (center) 18th birthdays - it was a wonderful trip and all the Williams side of the family came, Brad loved hanging out with his Uncles - something that he hasn't done in a very long time. We 'toured' Gina and Clayton's home - which is stunning and so comfortable - we really did need a guide to get around the 10000 sq home!
one more of the girls - mid cookie break.
i can get it! I can get it!
NOOOOOOO I want to stay outside - Jackson RAN from me to go outside mid nappy/clothing change - i just let him go - your only young once!
now you see me
now you don't!
Jackson has two hidy holes in the kitchen - which he puts his treasured wiggles Wags, Henry and Dorothy in then closes the door and just stays in their until some one comes to find him. He has also taken to falling asleep - not really - but just like Jeff wiggle does - then we have to wake him up just like they wake Jeff up ....1,2,3 WAKE UP JACKSON! He will fall asleep random places like the couch, floor, ottoman, outside and stay dead looking until we wake him up. Did I mention he LOVES the wiggles - so if any loving Godparents are wondering what they might like to send him for the christmas season - WIGGLES PLEASE. We found a second hand shirt with the wiggles on it and he begs to wear it over his clothes.
Well I hope this has saited everyones fix of Jackson and our new home!

Dog's Life

Hello Everyone. It has been nearly a month since the last post. Stacy sent me an email yesterday that shamed me into putting up pictures. :)

We are all moved in now and have had a steady stream of family and friends coming by to visit. It has been really nice to catch up with people we haven't seen in a long time. When I am not working, Christal has kept me pretty busy with stuff around the house. Although, I am behind on finishing the bathroom...I had hoped to finish it last week. Oh well.

I only put up a few pictures to appease the masses while we wait for Christal to do a proper post again. I hope you enjoy...

We have lots of room in the backyard for Jackson to run around like a crazy boy. We should really try to get him out of his pajamas a bit more. Although, I wear mine all day too. Even at work.


Hanging out in the truck. He puts his bucket of chalk in the back and rides around the porch. Pretty funny.

Here is Fred. The newest addition to the family. We got him from the shelter in Springdale and they have bonded ever since. They chase each other around the yard, and while Fred does sometimes bowl Jackson over, it is pretty funny to watch. He'll toughen up. :)



We had Matt and Sharon's kids over for a couple hours while they went to watch the football game the other day. It has been really nice to see the kids and I hope we get to do this more often. It's been great having Matt over for lunch some days too. His office is only about 10 minutes from our house.

Thanks to John for making me the leaf raking professional that I am today. We don't have near as many trees, but this one had 10 billion leaves that all fell on the same day.

More to come.

See ya!!
